MADISON – Today, United Wisconsin announced its official endorsement of Ed Fallone for Wisconsin Supreme Court. Fallone is challenging conservative Justice Patience Roggensack and, along with one other challenger, faces a primary election on February 19.
"Ed Fallone is the clear choice for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice," said United Wisconsin Executive Director Lisa Subeck. "Fallone has the experience and integrity necessary to restore civility, balance, and impartiality to Wisconsin's Supreme Court."
Fallone has decades of experience in the legal field, with expertise in constitutional, criminal, and corporate law, and a long history of service to the community. His qualifications include:
- Associate professor of law at Marquette University
- Over 25 year as a practicing attorney in both Federal and State courts.
- J.D., magna cum laude, Boston University School of Law.
- Led non-profits organizations working to increase access to the justice system for immigrants and working families.
- Recipient of the President's Award, Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee 2010.
Conservative incumbent, Patience Roggensack, has contributed to the dysfunction and high level of partisanship on the current court. She was a key supporter of closing certain Supreme Court proceedings, effectively keeping the court's decision making process out of the view of the public. Along with her conservative colleagues on the court, Roggensack chose to recuse herself from hearing a case regarding fellow conservative, Justice David Prosser, preventing the hearing from moving forward. Her recusal blocked any possible disciplinary action in the case in which Prosser was accused of choking a fellow Justice.
"Wisconsinites deserve a high-functioning and non-partisan Supreme Court to protect our system of checks and balances," Subeck added. "Fallone will help restore civility and trust in our state's highest court. United Wisconsin is proud to endorse Ed Fallone for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice."

Current Justice Pat Roggensack has served us well on the WI. Supreme Court. She has a record of being impartial, interpreting the law from the bench, not making law from the bench (its not supposed to work that way) as Fallone, who has no judicial experience would do. Roggensack deserves re-election.
Keith Worst
4:36 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
I'm with Keith. It cost us a lot of money to buy that bench so we can have ideology put in place without prejudice or with anyone to question the will of the governor. By putting someone on the bench who will not rubber stamp everything they're told to, it will be chaos in the state. Sure Roggensack isn't as easy to lacky as Prosser, but still she's easy to control and that's all that matters.
Keith Best
6:44 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Another coward who has to hide behind a screen name............
Jeff Christensen
6:49 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Keith - You have zero evidence to back your claim of Fallone "making law from the bench". Its funny on both sides how judges we disagree with are "activist".
Try dumping the awful talking points from the GOP executive board in Waukesha and try having a discussion with the Patch community.
Keith Worst
7:10 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
You're right Keith. This "Mr. Christensen" hides behind a faux name in order to cowardly besmirch the good name of grand Republicans who we have taken the time to caress into obedient servants to the cause. Too much hard work goes into securing people to vote for our interests with people like "Jeff" trying to wreck our good name. Come out of the shadows "Mr. Christensen." Keith is right to stop hiding behind the name!
The Donny Show
8:23 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Is this really his endorsement? A quote from the person who wrote it and then what they dont like about an opponent?
Not too worried about this one.
8:36 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
If United Wisconsin is supporting Ed Fallone, then I'll be voting for Patience Roggensack.
Keith Worst
7:14 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Agreed. Anyone group or person who refuses the orders of Scott Walker or The Party at any given time is not worth listening to. Just think. If Patience loses we might not be allowed to mine the snot out of northern Wisconsin for profit. And once we drive them off the land with the poisoned water from the mines, they will be forced to move to our area where they will have to purchase homes from us. It's a win-win that Roggy already has promised to do as instructed and allow for the mine to go through.
Lyle Ruble
8:53 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Justice Roggensack's record speaks for itself. One only has to review her record and then decide. I will vote against Justice Roggensack for one primary reason, her conservative judicial ideology. The high court is the only institution left in state government where a balance of power can be reestablished. As it stands now, the conservatives have a guaranteed "trifecta" and by electing someone other than a conservative to the high court, a separation of powers and balance can return to state government.
Bob McBride
9:04 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Does that mean you'll be voting for conservatives in other races in order to preserve that balance, should the court swing in the liberal direction?
Keith Best
9:17 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Lyle Ruble, so then you admit you're for judicial activism, for judges and justices making law from the bench. Here's what........That is what the legislature is for.
Roggensack deserves re-election.
Lyle Ruble
9:38 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Bob McBride....I would vote and have voted for conservatives to maintain a balance of power. My ideology commits me to the separation of powers and the action of compromise as the best way to govern. You and I have had this discourse in the past. I love it when the governorship is with one party, one party controls the assembly and the senate is controlled by the other party. Out of this comes the best legislation. It's not efficient or pretty, but it protects us the citizen from tyrannical legislation and over bearing chief executives.
Lyle Ruble
9:58 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Keith Best... Your interpretation of my position is wrong. I believe in courts ruling on the law and its adherence to the constitution. Your putting out the old conservative argument that when a court goes against you, its judicial activism. Justices, especially, the Wisconsin Supreme Court, since they must be elected, are subjected to political forces that are significant. Wisconsin has the most politicized Supreme Court I have ever lived under.
In addition, people tend to look at the court as far as short term decisions, but the court must take into account the long term, since they set precedence that will be used for years to come. A ruling that goes against your or my ideology gives cause to claim the court biases. However, in the present court, there is no doubt to its present conservative bias, which supports one party conservative governance.
Bob McBride
10:04 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Personally, I don't take balance of power into account when I vote, which means I honestly haven't voted for someone I perceived as being the liberal choice out of the pack for that express purpose. I'd be very curious to know which conservative(s) you voted for, and when, for the purpose of maintaining the left/right balance of power, Lyle.
Jay Sykes
10:19 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Hmm, if ones priority/justification/purpose is in voting for 'balance of power' purposes 'within' a branch of government (ie WI State Supreme Court), then in two relatively recent US Senate elections one would have voted for Tommy Thompson and before that Ron Johnson was the only choice.
Remember, for US Senators it is not the balance within Wisconsin;only the voting balance of the entire body is relevant.
Lyle Ruble
11:44 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Bob McBride....Let me give you some examples of my owning voting record:
Nixon - voted for twice
Mondale - voted against
Clinton - voted against twice
Orin Hatch - voted for three times
Alberta Darling - voted for twice
Ed Garvey - voted against
As I have claimed, I am neither Republican nor Democrat and vote for what I think is best for the electorate. Sometimes I've been right and sometimes I've been wrong.
Lyle Ruble
11:46 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Jay Sykes....Your logic only holds if the competing candidates are equally qualified. However, since I can't vote for senators outside of Wisconsin, then I have to limit my choice for who I can vote for.
Bob McBride
11:51 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
And you voted in those cases primarily to assure a balance of power between those on the left and those on the right? In other words, when voting against a Democrat, you voted for the most likely candidate amongst those considered to be conservatives to actually win the election - i.e., the Republican?
Lyle Ruble
12:01 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Bob McBride....In short, yes. For the most part, in the past there wasn't that much that separated R from D.
Jay Sykes
12:46 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Lyle... I'd rephrase Bob's question and ask you to tailor your results to the last 15- 20 years; where you voted 'against your political ideology', and you voted for the candidate that ultimately won the position. All done for the purpose of maintenance in political balance.
Mr Lundt
3:47 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
So seeing as you are consitent I assume you will be voting against the democrats at the federal level.
Oh wait...
4:31 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
You neglected to tell us about how you voted on Baldwin and Thompson. How well did your pursuit of "balance" get executed in that race?
Joe Peterlin
9:11 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
"Separation of powers"? "Balance"? The only thing the Marxists supporting Megna, or Fallone are looking for is to steer the Wisconsin Supreme Court hard to the left and off the Socialist cliff. Patience Roggensack will ensure that the rule of the law, as it is written, will be enforced, not legislated by the court.
Lyle Ruble
10:03 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Joe Peterlin....."Marxists", come on let's keep it real! Marquette Law School is not exactly known for its extreme socialist or Marxist philosophies. Better a constitutional scholar than a conservative ideologue.
9:41 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
United Wisconsin was a major player in the Recall Walker effort. Thus Ed Fallone would be a very, very, very bad choice to sit on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
10:14 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
LOL @ Lyle, the definition of ignorance. Vote against someone just because they are conservative, no matter the short comings of their opponent.
Lyle Ruble
11:49 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@c...That's where our definitions differ, I don't think the sitting Justice is as qualified as her opponent.
The Donny Show
10:29 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Someone please explain why Fallone is qualified.
Keith Best
10:40 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Fallone thinks he is qualified because Russ Feingold (yes, that rusty) says he is. Feingold has a PAC that is raising money for Fallone.
Keith Worst
4:54 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
I'm with Keith Best! Seriously, if you want a qualified person to endorse you, it's Scott Walker. That man knows character and has always made sure to hire the most upstanding citizens in the state! Russ Feingold has hired criminals in his office unlike Scott Walker!
Lyle Ruble
11:51 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Keith Best....You're getting into your "Chatty Cathy" mode again. Russ Feingold holds a lot of respect with a lot of the citizenry.
Keith Best
6:04 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
That "citizenry" learned that Feingold has more in common with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez than he does with most of the people in this state. And go stick your "Chatty Cathy"....my opinions are my own.
Dirk Gutzmiller
6:21 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
The Feingold bashing is starting among the Walker supporters like Keith Best. Tammy has shown the way for Russ to run against Walker in 2014 for Governor.
Jeff Christensen
6:51 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Keith - If this is the rhetoric of the Waukesha GOP Executive Board, then I pity the condition that your party is in.
Please try laying off the childish rhetoric and try having a discussion with the Patch community.
Keith Worst
7:22 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Keith Best hits it out of the ballpark again! Feingold was willing to "talk" with people like Castro and Chavez. What a snob. Now Roggy pals around with Scott Walker. A man who chums around with a man connected to white supremacists with pride. And Keith isn't afraid to show he's still proud of Walker by doing so by making his profile picture of that of the leader of The Party.
Once we get Roggy back in we can wipe our butts with the law and force the rest of the slobs to obey The Party law! Roggy '13 WALKER '14 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:52 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Why is the Wisconsin Supreme Court used as a checks and balances venue? Is that not why we have a democracy in the first place and why we are able to vote for the candidate of our choice. We put our faith and future in their hands when we place our vote. They in turn make decisions and propose laws based on the values and beliefs they run under. Why is the Supreme Court allowed to block and/or decide on these decisions and proposed laws when WE, THE PEOPLE, have utilized the democratic process by voting for the candidate of our choice? The only checks and balances needed are in the voting process, i.e. voter ID., something the Supreme Court is currently holding over our heads. Similar to ACT 10, this should never have been held up.
Lyle Ruble
3:11 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Karen...Both the US and Wisconsin Constitutions are very clear about the separation of powers and maintaining a balance. Only the supreme courts can determine if any given law or executive order is legal under the constitutions. It is entirely possible and highly probable that an elected legislature and chief executive can enact statutes that are deemed unconstitutional. This protects us from the possibility of tyranny perpetrated by single control of both the legislature and chief executive. There is a whole school of thought that addresses the excesses of the massed majority. Key to our constitutions is the protection of the minority from the whims of the majority.
3:39 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
I will be donating to the Roggensack campaign tonight, after I get home.
3:54 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Here's my issue. Why did Roggensack recuse herself from the Prosser case, undermining the Wisconsin Judicial Commission? He should never have been re-elected in the first place, given his reputation for uneven temperament, iffy campaign financing, etc. Surely Wisconsin has better true conservatives with the appropriate credentials. But alas. In the specific issue of Prosser v. Bradley (in which "v" stands for "defensive chokehold") how does letting the man get away with this help him change his behavior? The Bradley incident was not the first time Prosser had treated a female colleague with disdain/disrespect. It's the state Supreme Court for heaven's sake. Even a chastisement without suspension or fines would have been something. Her recusement suggests that she puts politics first, justice second. And if your job is Supreme Court Justice, that's a concern.
4:01 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Wasn't Roggensack a material witness to the 'incident'? It was proper for her to recuse herself...
4:09 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
You may want to rethink your 'concern', Bren.
It seems that it wasn't 'putting politics first', but rather state law that required Roggensack to withdraw.
"Roggensack said she had no choice but to withdraw, saying she was a material witness to the Bradley altercation. And Roggensack – who, like Prosser, is part of the court's four-member conservative majority – said it's against the law for judges to take part in cases in which they were witnesses."
Jay Sykes
4:22 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Dogone you.... CowDung & Luke.
Now Bren is going to have to thunk-up another reason NOT to vote for Roggensack.
4:23 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
A witness in a case cannot be a judge in the case.
In addition, you are writing as though certain accusations are true, when in fact they are disputed.
What is interesting is that your argument is a political one, yet you criticize someone for making a decision on legal grounds of being politically motivated. I suppose that should have been expected, in that you posed the issue in a question that was pregnant with an assertion that was political in intent.
4:46 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
The Wisconsin Judicial Commission recommended that the court "discipline" Prosser, which I define, appropriately in this instance I believe, as a chastisement. Most of us would reasonably expect some sort of caution or warning for similar behavior in our own place of employment.
So when do we start holding elected officials, any political party to our own standards? Any who voted for Prosser, have you personally put your hands around a colleague's neck in anger? Have you every threatened to "destroy" a colleague in anger?
This was a missed opportunity to send a message to a man with documented anger issues. As an individual who aspires to professionalism, I do have an issue with this and will look forward to hearing Justice Roggensack's rationale on the matter as the race heats up.
4:51 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Considering that I have never been attacked by a colleague, I have never had occasion to place my hands on their neck in anger...
What part of "it's against the law for judges to take part in cases in which they were witnesses." are you failing to understand, Bren? What kind of explanation are you looking forward to hearing from Roggensack?
6:25 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Cow; there's a difference between what occurred through the DA's office and special prosecutor, who ruled there wasn't enough evidence to support prosecution, and the post-decision ethics complaint filed by the WJC. (The WJC and the Dane County Sheriff's office opened the initial investigation.) Prosser has been at the center of controversy before for what are termed "outbursts," the latest before the Bradley incident was in 2010 directed at Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson (he called her a b---h and threatened to "destroy" her). In that instance he admitted that he "overreacted" but didn't apologize. That's just not professional behavior. I maintain my view that some step should have been taken to rebuke his behavior, including (my opinion) a recommendation for anger management therapy.
I'll be waiting to hear Roggensack explain what, if anything (including unofficial) conversation was had with Prosser about the incident, which was by no means isolated.
This may seem a small matter, but consider, if this is what colleagues have to deal with imagine but subordinates might be going through (and if rumors are to be believe he is "difficult"). We the taxpayers pay Prosser and his subordinates, and it makes me uncomfortable that I am supporting bad behavior without a scrap of accountability.
10:51 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
There were accusations that Bradley "charged" him but others say that she told him to leave her office because he was having an outburst. I'm thinking this is a volatile guy who has lashed out at a female justice for the second time in 2 years, this time physically. Remember that former Gov. Patrick Lucey, who was Prosser's campaign co-chair, resigned saying that Prosser demonstrated "disturbing distemper and lack of civility." Who'd want to work for this guy?
8:22 am on Friday, February 8, 2013
Yes--Bradley charged him. She was the aggressor.
It's pretty clear that Prosser was defending himself as the incident took place near the door. If Prosser were the aggressor, he would have been moving toward her and the contact would have been made further into the room.
It sounds like Bradley has some problems with anger as well.
4:27 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
The protection of the minority from the whims of the majority can still waver with the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court should be held to a time frame when statutes deemed unconstitutional are brought before them. How can the Supreme Court refuse to hear a case deemed unconstitutional then? i.e. Voter ID.
Lyle Ruble
5:19 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
@Karen....When and what cases are heard is the privilege of the Supreme Courts. As in the case of the Voter ID law, the court is letting it go through the lower courts before it decides whether or not they will take it up. There are many variables involved and it is never certain what will be heard or if they will just allow the lower ruling to stand.
Dirk Gutzmiller
6:01 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
The big question now is if Roggensack will also claim she was hit by one of the liberal judges,
Avenging Angel
6:27 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
The left is trying to neutralize duly elected legislators. They can't win the elections, so they will now try to legislate from the bench. Keep the court, vote for Roggensack.
Dirk Gutzmiller
6:39 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Keep the national joke going called the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Vote for Roggensack.
9:50 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Liberal activist judges are getting the bad press, for good reason.
"Today's federal court ruling confirms what we've known all along: Act 10 is constitutional. What we've seen in this case–and with so many others before it is that a liberal Dane County judge made a political, not a legal, decision."

January 2013 has seen hotel loyalty program changes growing faster than hotel construction. The managers must be working late nights.
Wyndham Rewards changed from 4 to 7 reward categories for their brands. Kind of a shock to see a hotel award night rise from 16,000 points to 45,000 points with no warning. So far it looks like New York City hotels are the first awards to hit new high tiers.
Priority Club drops chain brand award tiers on January 18, 2013 for a nine (9) category award system at 5,000 point increments from 10,000 to 50,000 points per award night. Is this going to be a bad points devaluation? January 18 we will see.

FAMILIAR ROADBLOCK: Former district rival Lancaster stands in Poteet's way in quest for state semifinals
By DEVIN HASSON, email@example.com
Poteet knows the challenge that it faces on Friday is not an easy one.
The Pirates (11-2) take on Lancaster (12-1) in the Class 4A Division II Region II championship game at 7:30 p.m. at Allen's Eagle Stadium.
It is a Tiger team that is often referred to as among the most athletic and talented in the state, and more than once the opinion has been offered up that they are "impossible to beat when they are on their game."
At a stage in the playoffs when most opponents come from across the state and have only been seen on film, that is not the case this week.
The Pirates and Tigers were district rivals for the previous four seasons and the last two meetings have been particularly compelling
Two years ago, Poteet edged Lancaster in a 28-24 victory that served as a springboard to its eventual run to the state semifinals. Last season, the Tigers returned the favor, edging the Pirates in a 20-19 win that proved to be the difference in knocking Poteet from the playoffs.
While teams are always different from one year to the next, there are still plenty of similarities in place.
"I think it always helps because it eliminates the 'always fear the unknown' side of it," Poteet head coach Randy Jackson said. "Our kids played them on JV and as freshmen, and the last two times (varsity) we have played, they have been two close games that have gone down to the wire.
"I think it is probably an advantage to both teams in that you line up facing a lot of kids you have seen before."
After breezing through the first two playoff games by a combined score of 98-28, but Pirates went down to the wire last week against Wylie East in a game that was not decided until Brett Rattan kicked a 31-yard field goal with 48 seconds left for a 52-49 victory.
Poteet is now one step away from matching its deepest playoff run in school history that it set two years ago, but Jackson said the team has remained focused on the task at hand, even if the level of attention builds every week.
"They don't really lose focus because we have a good group of senior kids who are driven and they help everybody stay within themselves," Jackson said. "When those guys were sophomores, they didn't play in the game, but they were in practice and they were around to see the amount of attention and they know not to believe the hype and to keep the goal in mind."
Poteet will see plenty of familiar faces on Friday, but one they did not see in last year's game is one they hope will not haunt them through the offseason.
Lancaster quarterback Demarcus Ayers missed last season's meeting and this year is the catalyst of one of the most explosive offenses in the area. The senior has thrown for 1,452 yards and 20 touchdowns while rushing for 1,179 yards and 14 scores. He has been steady in the playoffs, including last week's 36-29 win over Prosper.
Ayers and the dangerous Nick Harvey, who averages better than 12 yards per carry (54-659) and 15 yards per catch (46-697) have given opponents fits.
And if that is not enough, the Tigers have other playmakers that do not quite generate the same spotlight, such as Joseph Paden, who has rushed for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns, and Nick Alexander, who is averaging 19 yards per catch.
That will present a big challenge for the Poteet defense, which gave up a season-high in points last week.
The Pirates have excelled against the pass in the playoffs. Led by a stout secondary anchored by Patrick Brackens and Raffaele Gaines, postseason opponents are completing only 42 percent of their passes (30-of-71) and are averaging only 125 yards per game.
The front seven was hurt by the loss of sophomore linebacker Malik Jefferson last week and his status is uncertain. But whether they are at full strength or not, Poteet will need to improve after giving up nearly 400 rushing yards a week ago.
"They are a little more explosive than they have been the last times we've seen them," Jackson said. "They are athletic and fast and they are just a better team. They are another year older and they have another year under Coach Gilbert's system, so they have definitely improved."
Poteet has been clicking on all cylinders on offense, averaging 50 points per game in the playoffs.
Quarterback Tanner Ramsey has thrown for 691 yards and 11 touchdowns while adding five scores on the ground.
The explosive Rodney Douglas has been even more of a difference maker in the playoffs, averaging 30 yards per catch and accounting for seven touchdowns in three games.
The running back duo of James Swindle and Jaylon Smith has scored four times in the playoffs, while receivers Buck Rodges, Kody Edwards, Verkedric Vaughns, Nathaniel Gaines and Anthony Jenkins have all made big plays.
The teams have followed similar playoff roads, with each enjoying blowout wins in the first two rounds before being tested last week.
Both teams like to get off to good starts, as Poteet has outscored its opponents 98-34 in the first half, while Lancaster holds a 64-26 edge in the first two quarters.
For all the positives on both sides, it could come down to the negatives, namely turnovers.
The Pirates have a plus-31 turnover margin for the season, which is one of the best in the state. In the playoffs, they have turned the ball over only once while netting 11 takeaways.
Lancaster has had a little more of a problem with four turnovers, but also showed the ability to force problems for other teams, as it did in getting eight takeaways against Lovejoy.
And if the x-factor comes down to special teams, both sides have explosive returners and Rattan showed last week that Poteet is in good hands with the game on the line.
All of that adds up to what Jackson believes should be a memorable game.
"I have no reason not to believe it is not going to be like it was the last two times we played. I think both teams will probably be in the 20s and it is going to be the team that handles the pressure the best," he said. "It sounds simple to say, but it is going to be the team that can avoid the penalties and the turnovers will probably win and hopefully that will be us."

The Liberace Legacy: Showmanship and Scholarship
The Mission of the Liberace Foundation is to help talented students in Southern Nevada pursue careers in the performing and creative arts through scholarship assistance and artistic exposure.
About the Foundation
Celebrating over 30 Years of Funding the Arts Since 1976, The Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts has awarded more than 2,700 students with scholarships.
Liberace considered The Foundation one of his greatest achievements. In his book, The Things I Love, Liberace stated, "a lot of good things have happened to me in show business and I want to do what I can to give others just starting out a career boost. I hope The Foundation projects will continue into the future to offer gifted newcomers financial help, and in many cases, artistic exposure as well."
At age seven, Liberace received a scholarship to the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he would receive classical training on the piano. It was from this experience that he learned the value of scholarships.
Although the world knew Liberace as a pianist and showman, he never failed to use the drawing power of his famous stage and television shows as a launching pad for the careers of other talented individuals. He would introduce opera singers from the Metropolitan, dancers from famed ballet companies, noted artisans to decorate the sets for his shows -- and his costume designer's creations would often rival the coronation robes of royalty. Liberace's music would entertain and introduce audiences the world over to both the classics and popular music.
He would perform with major symphonies from the London Philharmonic to the Boston Pops. Liberace truly loved the arts and did all he could to bring their appreciation to the world. It is only appropriate that the Foundation that bears his name continues his dream of supporting the arts.

Beyond the question of the increase of greenhouse gas emissions, the Heads of State of the planet, gathered in the Danish capital, must urgently think about the human consequences of environmental upheavals.
This survey called "Believe in Humanity" was officially presented to the diplomatic community and to the national and international media on Tuesday, November 17th in Geneva.
It emerges from this survey that the relevant ministries feel particularly concerned by the challenge of the climate change.

Is this an actual physical phenomena or is it just something that has appeared ...
Quantum tornadoes generated on semiconductors
Sylvie Barak
According to some rather bizarre research being undertaken by a group of scientists at the University of Cambridge in the U.K., quantum fluid trapped on top of a semiconductor chip, which manifests itself as a sort of tornado-like vortex, can be used to measure movements.
Apparently, a mass of these quantum twisters can line up like a regiment of tiny soldiers, allowing for the engineering of quantum circuits and chips that will allow super precise motion measurement.
If that sounds confusing, it's because it is. We're talking quantum physics here, that branch of science that requires quantum leaps of imagination.
The Cambridge scientists, however, have explained it by saying the tiny twisters generated on the surface of a semiconductor chip can be controlled, something most big twisters of the Wizard of Oz variety cannot be.
By controlling where electrons move and how they interact with light, the scientists managed to merge electrons and photons into a new quantum particle they call "polariton."
These polaritons are half-light and half matter, making them "feather-light" and rather zippy, with researchers describing their movements similar to cascading water in a mountain river. The quantum systems are also actually rather big, on a microscopic scale, spanning the width of a human hair, making them easy to observe.
The team, led by Professor Jeremy Baumberg and the theoretical quantum fluids group of Dr Natalia Berloff, has been able to do all kinds of unexpected things with the "liquid" on chips' surface, forcing it to flow in various directions, over bumps and letting it "settle" into "wildly raging quantum oceans."
The long and short of the matter is that playing with mini quantum tornadoes on a chip is actually allowing scientists to both create and control macroscopic quantum states.
What's that good for? Well, research and science, of course. So much so, in fact, that the study has been granted funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the European Union.
That being said, a tempest in a teacup now makes a lot more sense to me than quantum physics ever could.
Related stories:

Is this an actual physical phenomena or is it just something that has appeared in a computer simulation? That is what it sounds like. It would be a game changer if it were able to be implemented in a simple and inexpensive manner, but that may not happen. Moving from a simulation to reality, (actual hardware), is often the show stopping task. In the interim these chaps have a nice grant to live on while chasing a theoretical "reality".
I haven't seen any of the publications, but I note that in several cases in the above article they said they were able to "do" things, not simulate them. Presumably they were able to make a polariton and observe it. I expect the motion sensing aspect is still theory. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.

Body in Burned Cabin Believed to Be Christopher Dorner
Two charged in the Pendleton case, the pope resigns and other news headlines. —Dorkys Ramos
Police are working to identify a body found in a burned cabin near Big Bear Lake, Calif., Tuesday night to determine if it is Christopher Dorner. The former Los Angeles cop who killed a police officer and a couple last week was spotted in the area Tuesday and was involved in a shootout that left one deputy dead. The LAPD have found a 14-page manifesto indicating the shooting spree was fueled by racism.

U.S. officials provided few details about the rescue effort, but Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said the SEALs "knew they were putting their lives on the line to free a fellow American from the enemy's grip."
Checque joined the Navy in 2002 after graduating from high school, according to a brief service record provided by the Defense Department. After attending recruit training in Illinois and advanced training in Virginia, he entered the seal program in April 2003.
He was assigned to his first SEAL unit in August 2004, and transferred to a second unit, presumably SEAL Team Six, in September 2008.
He received the Bronze Star and several other awards during his 10-year Naval career.
His former high school superiors and classmates at Norwin High School in North Huntington, Pennsylvania, remembered him as diligent and enthused about joining the military.
"He worked hard everyday and never complained," his former wrestling coach Rich Ginther told CNN affiliate WPXI. "I remember his senior year him basically telling us what he was training for, and it was to get in special forces."
The current vice principal, who graduated two classes ahead of Checque, called him a role model for the current students.
"It's scary to hear these kind of stories that come out," said Micheal Choby, "but I'm going to testament to the kind of man Nick built himself to be for these kids who are here aspiring to be in the military."
Former classmate Stefanie Stewart told CNN she sat next to Checque on the school bus almost every day.
"He always knew he wanted to go into the military," she said. "He was a very driven individual, had a very keen sense of mind. A strong-minded person. But underneath that, you could tell he had a good heart."

Celina ISD students learning to C.A.R.E.
Penny Rathbun/Staff photo
Cole Daniel Wells, Paul Kong and Aaron Harding lead a pep rally at Celina Elementary School on Monday. Students will participate in the Boosterthon Fun Run, to be held next week as a fundraiser for the Celina Association of Renaissance Excellence. This is the second year C.A.R.E. has partnered with Boosterthon to raise money for various C.A.R.E. projects that benefit Celina schools and students.
C.A.R.E. getting a boost
Penny Rathbun
Students who choose to participate will run laps on the track behind the Celina Middle School. They will ask family and friends to pledge money for every lap they run.
For every $7 per lap pledge the student will receive a Boosterthon prize. For every prize given to a Celina child, Boosterthon will donate a similar prize to a children�s hospital.
Next week Boosterthon representatives will go into classrooms and speak about teamwork and building character, among other subjects.
�The whole goal is to help raise funds for the school and to make an impact. We want to make sure we are changing the world through a positive influence,� Jerry Channell said. He is one of the Boosterthon representatives that led assemblies on Monday in the elementary and intermediate schools.
The Boosterthon theme this year is �On the road to good choices.�
Each child participating in the fun run will receive a t-shirt and other prizes will also be given for various levels of achievement in gathering pledges.
Also, 10 percent of funds raised by each child will go to the child�s teacher for class supplies.
C.A.R.E. has been raising funds to benefit Celina schools and students for more than 20 years. The group raises funds for scholarships or for needed equipment in the classroom, such as iPads for math classes.
Students will be bringing home packets of information about the second annual C.A.R.E. Boosterthon.

Testimonies: Shingles |
"I came in July 2, 2004 with an outbreak of Shingles. It occurred after I'd disposed of witchcraft items placed on my property. (I hadn't worn gloves or gotten them away from the perameter. I then did and prayed and anointed the areas). Shingles errupted in the shape they had drawn on my right shoulder. While here waiting it felt like cool water being poured over the weeping blisters. I was prayed for and the feeling continued all day and into the night. My anxiety eased. The next morning, most signs of shingles were GONE. All signs were gone in 24 hours! God is amazing, real, and to be praised! (The miracle is that they are supposed to last for weeks). I now dance and sing and am learning to pray for both healing and propheticaly with FAITH!" - Ruth Anne A. on September 30th, 2005 | |

Reality for TLC's T-Boz has been a challenge, starting at age 7, when she was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia.
"I was told I wouldn't live past 30, I would be disabled my whole life and I would never become a mother," T-Boz, a member of one of the most successful girl groups ever, told CNN. "My daughter is Chase. She's 12. I've traveled the world in one of the best groups ever. I'm 42."
Reality called again five years ago when doctors found a brain tumor, which left her partially blind and deaf.
"But after losing my sight, hearing, balance and speech, yes, I'm returning," said T-Boz, whose real name is Tionne Watkins. "I had to take three years to heal and fight for everything that I wanted back.
T-Boz is sharing the lessons learned from hard reality in a reality TV show that premieres Tuesday night, coincidentally on a network with the same name as her group -- TLC.
"It's about 20 years later, me coming back from the brain tumor and doing things I want to do," she said. "You'll hear about all that in the show, my real-life struggles, being a single mother. I don't care how much money you have in the world. It's not about that. It's all about time. I'm in charge of raising a young woman one day, to be a mother and hopefully a wife. All of that. As you know, being a parent, that's probably the hardest job ever"
"Totally T-Boz" is real -- especially compared with most shows, she said: "They're fake as all get-out, right? I'm real."
Her experience with reality TV includes being fired by Donald Trump on "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2009.
"If I'm not the chick you want, because you don't want that, then they'll probably censure me," she said. "That's fine, but I'm staying me, because I'm happy and I've always been happy in my skin."
Like other entertainers who disappear from the spotlight for a while, T-Boz never stopped working while she focused on raising her daughter and fighting for her health.

Peavy had walked just eight over his previous 46 2/3 innings this season. Add that control lapse to the lack of White Sox ...

Chicago Chronicle
Chicago Chronicle | Current Chicago News & Illinois State HeadlinesThe Chicago Chronicle was first published as a newspaper on May 28 1895 serving the Chicago and surrounding areas. It was the only morning newspaper at the time and supported the Democratic party, although this changed in subsequent years. The Chicago Chronicle closed after publishing its final issue on May 31 1907, after a history of 12 years almost to the day. This new version of the Chicago Chronicle, which began publishing on September 11 2002 is essentially a local Chicago online newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Chicago, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Chicago, Illinois, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Chicago Chronicle.

Lewis Prescott of Skills Arena,
Organisations want to be able to hire, the right person, first time. A 2010 report predicted the global recruitment market to be worth more than $369 billion by 2014, with much of the expense falling into the hands of business looking to recruit. For this reason, businesses are looking more and more at pre-employment screening.

Father Time May Have a Say!
Of course, money matters. People have to be able to support their chosen lifestyles; however, it may not be the only way to attract the top talent in your industry. With more people weighing work/life balance, you may be able to lure "A Players" on your team with a few unique "time-saving" benefits that your competitors may have overlooked.

What if your employer told you that you now have unlimited paid time off. Meaning, if you need to take time, that's fine and we'll pay for it. The only condition is that you must continue to meet your deliverables and the company's expectations for performance. Would that seem like a great deal to you?

Eat when you're hungry. Eat healthy, whole plant foods. Done!
You need to eat this whole recipe for breakfast, otherwise you would be hungry again in 45 minutes!
2 bananas (peeled)
2 medium oranges (peeled - use a knife, cut generously around the edges to remove a lot of the white rind as well as the skin)
1 apple (chopped)
1 cup spinach (or more)
1/2 cup to 1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 sprinkle cinnamon
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1. Add all ingredients to blender. Place soft ingredients like bananas in first, because that's what I was taught!
2. Blend in your high-speed blender until nicely smooth.
3. Empty your blender immediately. Pour green smoothie into cup(s) or a large mason jar for on-the-go.
4. Add 1-2 cups of water into your blender immediately and blend again to aid in cleaning process. Take carafe to sink and finish rinsing/cleaning blender right away. I am not a good housekeeper but the one rule in my house is to NEVER let the Vitamix carafe sit uncleaned. NEVER! Why? Because then if I'm lazy later on and it's not clean then I won't use it, then I won't know what to make, and I'll just eat nuts for dinner because I'm too lazy to clean the blender. NEVER store recipes in your blender for this reason. :)
This recipe makes quite a large green smoothie, it's a perfect breakfast for 1 person. This is my go-to breakfast.
I have been a raw vegan for over two years. And for breakfast almost every single day I have a green smoothie. And I am still not sick of them yet, if you can believe that! I can make them super quickly, and I always keep the main ingredients on hand.
If you have any trust in me believe me when I tell you that in order to make a tasty green smoothie you absolutely must have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or a Blendtec. Otherwise it'll be chunky and grainy and downright disgusting and you'll have to pinch your nose to get it down.
When it comes to green smoothies texture is everything and high-speed blenders are going to take a slightly disgusting chunky mixture and turn it into a silky smoothie like the one in this photo that actually tastes delicious--like a treat. Texture is everything when it comes to this green smoothie recipe.
This may not be the most exciting green smoothie recipe in the world, but it's what I have for breakfast almost every morning so I figured that you'd like to know what I have for breaky! What I like about it as well is that it's not too expensive, since bananas are inexpensive here in Canada.

I love smoothies, and am going to try this over the weekend. I am the kind of person that finds something I like and have no problem eating it every day. I hope this becomes my new breakfast staple.
I am the same! I will have the same thing every day for like a month, and then one day I go - nope, no more! And then I go on to the next thing :) And have that everyday for a long time
What is your current breakfast staple? Is there another smoothie that you've moved on to for now?
I made this for breakfast, and it was very yummy; but it wasn't as creamy as I had imagined. I forgot to add the chia seeds. Is that why it wasn't creamier? It still tasted very good, but I was just curious because I've never used chia seeds before.
I sometimes put a teaspoon of bee pollen in green smoothies, for protein. Can you think of any reason not to?
I love your smoothie recipes, you have even inspired me to experiment making my own smoothies and I discovered that in green smoothies, cilantro is actually really tasty. makes everything tastes super fresh and clean. have you tried it?
Mmm! I love cilantro, but I have never used it in a smoothie! Must try this. In fact, next year I really must grow cilantro in my garden, because it seems to be pretty expensive here. Thanks for the inspiration for my garden for 2013! I have done parsley in a green smoothie, I think this would probably be equally as good.
I'm looking forward to trying some of your recipes. Do you have any advice for the recipes regarding eating for diabetes?
Why do you say to remove the pith of the oranges? That's the most nutritious part! ;)
I love your writing style. Your advice is so applicable. Great smoothie, I usually have my greens in juices but this is quite nice. I almost omitted the cinnamon but I like it!
Hi! Just found this recipe and plan to try it for breakfast tomorrow. Was just wondering if there is a big downside to making this the night before? I know that with raw juice, "they" say that it starts to lose nutrients (or something) right away, so best to make it right before you drink it. But, I just can't seem to get it together enough in the morning, to prepare my breakfast and still get to work on time. So, I used to make my raw juice the night before, even though "they" said not to, because I figure it was better than not having it at all! But now I want to replace juicing with smoothies, so I was just wondering, for my own knowledge, if it's okay (or, okay enough) to make it the night before?
Hi Jennifer, I am not concerned about the nutrient loss, but I do find that it doesn't taste as good the next day. It might separate and need a quick blend in the blender to get back to normal. One thing that you could try is one of my breakfast cereals instead - you can lay the dry ingredients out, and then just chop an apple and add milk to it in the morn. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your speedy reply! I did make it the night before, and in the morning it wasn't so much separated as a little ... congealed. But I just stirred in some water and it was fine. Very tasty! I changed the recipe slightly ... only used one banana, and used a cup and a half of kale instead of spinach. So, maybe the congealing was due to that! But anyway, it was super tasty and I will definitely do it again. Thanks!
I have been on green smoothies for just 5 days. I'm completely new at this. Then for lunch I have a completely raw salad, but continue eating with the family at dinner. Can't quite get my head around preparing a whole different meal. Although our dinner always had a big raw salad as part of it. This is my year for taking control back after some very poor eating over a few years. I'm excited by what I'm reading and trying. My raw crackers are in the dehydrator as I write. Thank you so much for your generous sharing. Looking forward to the journey.
It's nice to hear Someone else starting like me! I just decided last weekend to make a green smoothie every morning now I've stumbled across raw receipes. I'm the only one in my house trying this hope I can find things I like.
Lynne and Barbara, Just wanted to add that when you are starting something new (healthy eating) it is very wise to get into a groove and make the same thing (something that you like) again and again until you are sick of it - and then you can move on to something else. That way you don't feel unsure about what to make, especially in the morning when you are in a rush!
"Motivation gets you started, habit keeps you going."
I have been lurking on this site for weeks and this will be my first post. I buy green smoothies all the time so to be able to make one was very gratifying!!! It was delicious and REALLY I will definitely make this again. I did not have chia seeds and used bottled lemon juice and it was still wonderful. My only question is whether or not this can be made ahead and stored for a day or two?
Hi Evita! Great to hear from you :) It's a great question. I am not a huge fan of green smoothies that have been made in advance - they just don't taste the same! It can be a nice idea to get all your ingredients ready the night before (chopped and ready to go inside your blender - but not actually blended yet). Then you could just blend real quick in the morning. :)
Made something similar to this today - going to try your ratios. Sounds good - cinnamon is an interesting addition. Do you add it for the taste or the health benefits?
Re Anne's comment about the nutribullet - it is amazing! Super easy to clean and easy to travel with, and most importantly, it blends things SMOOTH! It's almost as good as the vitamix in that respect. It's much better at blending kale and parsley than my big blender. It goes on sale at canadian tire for $80 if you watch for it.
Hi I have a 1000w home use breville blender (New Zealand) it was about $250nz Would this do the trick for this recipe? would like to try these for breaky.
Hi Kyle, give it a shot! You might want to omit the orange though. Maybe substitute with a peach, it'll be easier for your blender to blend.
I had this for breakfast today and my $250nz 1000w breville blender made it nice and smooth:) Just made sure I did not blend for more then 1minute at a time to avoid oxidation. Thanks so much for this it's yummy. Just got to get my head around drinking a litre of smoothie at a time. (just starting out with raw food)
Hello ,

Fluoro-Max Green and Red Dry Fluorescent Particles
Fluoro-Max fluorescent particles emit bright and distinct colors when illuminated by the light of shorter wavelengths which improves their contrast and visibility relative to background materials.
As a result, these particles offer improved sensitivity and detectability for analytical methods. These internally dyed polymer particles utilize the Firefli process to incorporate the dye throughout the polymer matrix. This produces bright fluorescent colors, minimizes photo bleaching, and prevents dye leaching into aqueous media.

Please present facts - The reality of living as a Clyde fisherman: Scottish government must act
A comment by SIFT by any chance? - The reality of living as a Clyde fisherman: Scottish government must act
Ron for your information, this is what the anti-fishing lobby do not want highlighted.
Go to www.nafc.ac.uk/Fisheries-Policy-Notes.aspx look at Trends in Scottish Fish Stocks published by NAFC University of the Highlands and Islands on 26th March 2013, especially page 20 and you will see the major target species of the West Coast Fishermen ie. Prawns (Nethrops)has increased in abundance by 70% since 2007.
The TAC (Total Allowable Catch) for Nethrops, or quota in laymen's terms was increased this year 2013 on the recommendation of ICES but effort (the time allowed at sea) has been reduced since 2011 when boats were allowed 200 x 24 hour days to a projected 100 days 2013.
This is due to the Cod Recovery Plan which is inflexible in that it must reduce fishing effort year by year even though the the West Coast Fleet catches less than 1.5% Cod as a bycatch and therefore should, by the rules governing the Cod Recovery Plan, be exempt from the effort rules.
The "Giant Floating Factories" you quote must be Dutch vessels as the mean average length of a traditional West Coast Nethrop Trawler is between 10 to 16 metres crewed on average by 3 to 4 local men landing locally every day to Scottish Processors.

Adairville mayor Jim Wilkerson first moved into the south Logan County city in 1964 when the Odom's sausage plant came to town.
At the time, he was just interested in running the business. He had no idea that, decades later, he would be asked to run the city he came to think of as home.
Wilkerson started his career as mayor eight years ago, but will be moving on to the next stage of his life next week as newly elected mayor Donna Blake takes office.
His decision to first seek the office over eight years ago wasn't Wilkerson's idea.
"Some people felt like they needed some help running the city and they came to me," Wilkerson said. "But I kept telling them no."
Wilkerson had no political experience. but he had served for over 25 years on the town's board of zoning and adjustments. Because of his work there, the Adairville Arms and Staggers Manor housing facilities were built in the city.
"When I first came here, we didn't have any zoning laws at the time," Wilkerson said. "Without zoning laws, they wouldn't have been built."
It wasn't until someone who didn't get along with Wilkerson asked him to run that he started to change his mind.
"This fellow came up to me on the street and he said, 'Jim, I don't like you,'" Wilkerson said. "'But you've got everything it takes to be mayor of this city. And if you run and are elected, then I will like you.'"
The man, who Wilkerson wants to remain nameless, was one of the first Wilkerson told after he filed to run for the office.
"I told him I wasn't going to be out politicking, though," Wilkerson said. "I told him that if I was going to be elected, that would be up to him and the other people that wanted me to run."
Well, they got Wilkerson elected. And the rest as they say, is history.
Among his many accomplishments in the past eight years, Wilkerson is most proud of being a good steward for the city's finances.
"This city was sound financially when I came on board," Wilkerson said. "And when I leave it is still going to be financially sound."
And that is despite Wilkerson being in charge during the worst economic period of his lifetime.
"When I was elected, we had a large bond outstanding where we had built a new water plant," Wilkerson said. "I knew we had some excess cash, so I paid the note eight years forward and saved the city $57,000 in interest alone."
Not long after that, the bond was paid off in full and Adairville will be completely debt free when Wilkerson leaves office.
Wilkerson said he is also glad he was a part of getting the Auburn Hosiery Mill to give its property over to the city when they left town and the Safe Route To School program the city took part in that improved sidewalks between the Adairville Elementary School and Hwy 541.
Also during Wilkerson's tenure as mayor, the city completely rehabbed both of its water tanks.
"That cost about $250,000 total and we didn't have to finance any of it," Wilkerson said. "We have paid our way."
Wilkerson said he is also glad the city now had a skate park in the community park, an informational kiosk by the library and a new art center ran by Charles Brindley - all of which came about during his time as mayor.
Even though he is now leaving office, Wilkerson said he will continue to work with and for the city.
"I think a lot of (new mayor) Donna (Blake) and I will do anything I can do to help her and work with her whenever she needs it," Wilkerson said.
