GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay Police Department is using interns to handle what could be over 10,000 minor cases in the New Year.
The idea is to free up the sworn officers for more serious crimes.
The interns are called CSI's, or Community Service Interns. They're responding to calls that involve vandalism, theft, and parking complaints.
The interns do not have guns, but they can get armed back-ups if they have to.
Officials say the interns also patrol Green Bay's parks – and they work with neighborhood groups.
One of the interns, Riley Peterson, says it gives him valuable experience as he trains to become a full-fledged police officer.

Customer Reviews
I ordered XL to make sure they would be large enough, but they are cut very small and will not fit my hands. They are well made, but sized too small. I gave one pair to my step-dad and he really liked them. His hands are smaller, as as matter of fact he usually wears a medium and these were snug on his hands. Good gloves and a good price, if they had fit my hands.
Great gloves for the price.
I cut a lot of wood in the winter and these gloves are just what I need. They are NOT EXL maybe LG.
These were a little tight for an XL order but quality is great.
These are great gloves for the price, make good work gloves, not dress gloves, but great for everyday work use

She'd probably run from him if she had any idea just how much he wanted her.
She was just as beautiful as he remembered. No, she was more beautiful. Her wild hair was caught at her nape with some fancy silver clip, her lips were rosy, but her cheeks were pale. The gray sweater she wore beneath her blazer brought out the color of her eyes, like fog across the mountains on a misty morning. Her jeans weren't tight, but they emphasized her long legs and hinted at the shape beneath.
She paused and he realized he hadn't really been paying attention. He replayed her last words in his head and found himself surprised, not something that usually happened. She wanted to talk about his club.
"I don't understand why the name of my nightclub would be of interest to you?" From what he'd read on her business card and the information he'd found online, her areas of study seemed to be myth and legend and tales of folklore from around the world. Of course, it was plausible that she was doing research on nightclubs and their effect on people. These days, academics seemed to be curious about the strangest things.
But more puzzling was why the vampire hunters would have someone trailing her while she was in Chicago. Damek had to assume that the man was back on the job and probably lurking outside his club at this very moment, waiting for her to emerge.
He should have killed him last night. He'd known Sonia was going to be nothing but trouble. The last thing he needed was a vampire hunter taking an interest in either him or his club. The threat was now not only to her but to him and his employees as well. Vampire hunters weren't always the most discerning of creatures, killing whoever got in their way regardless of whether they were a true vampire or not.
"The name of your club is really what it's all about, isn't it? Inhibitions, or rather the lessening of them in some situations. It's really all about the unknown, isn't it? About people being drawn to the dark side of life, be it myth or legend or reality. It's like taking a step out of the normal, the everyday and into another world." She smiled at him and reached for her coffee.
He tapped his fingers together, watching her intently as she brought her mug to her lips and took a sip. He wasn't buying it. There was more to her interest than simply wanting to know about his club. He waited until she swallowed before calling her on her lie.
"You do not care about my club, Sonia." Her pupils dilated slightly when he said her name. He barely suppressed a smile. So, she was not immune to him. Her body's reactions to his closeness could not be faked. He inhaled deeply and caught the slightest tinge of arousal, coupled with fear. She wanted him, yet feared him. That wasn't unusual for him, but he found he hated it, didn't want her to fear him as others did.
"I don't? Well, that's news to me." She set her mug down and crossed her legs, drawing his attention to them.
"Is it?" he countered. "I thought you'd come here for me."
Sonia froze. "I thought you'd come here for me." His words echoed in her brain, a reminder of her dream last night. She'd certainly come then. She cleared her throat and pressed onward, beginning to wish she'd never gotten past the front doors of Inhibitions. "I don't even know you," she pointed out.
"Which makes it all the more intriguing, don't you agree?" He looked just like some medieval lord sitting behind his massive desk. This club was his fiefdom, and all the people who worked here his minions or serfs, depending on how you looked at the situation.
"I should go." She reached down and picked up her purse before standing. As attracted as she was to Damek, she didn't belong here. He really was just the owner of a rather notorious nightclub and not a vampire at all. Maybe he was a paranormal creature of some kind, but maybe not. She wasn't sure she should trust her instincts where Damek was concerned any longer. Obviously hormones and sexual urges were messing with her normally infallible instincts.
Her brothers would kill her if they ever found out she'd come to a place like this by herself. Her father would try to ground her even though she'd been living on her own for years.
Damek was in front of her in the blink of an eye. She practically fell back into her chair she was so startled. How had he moved that fast?
"Have dinner with me. We will talk."
She nibbled her bottom lip. "I don't know." Common sense dictated she go back to her hotel, but the wild woman inside her wanted to have dinner with this intriguing, totally unacceptable man. He ran a nightclub with a reputation for wildness, while she worked at a university.
"I promise, I don't bite." He paused and added, "Unless asked." His bedroom voice promised all kinds of erotic pleasures and she caught the glint of his teeth when he smiled. "Please."
She was going to regret this. "It has to be somewhere casual. I'm not going back to my hotel to change."
Damek picked up the phone off his desk and hit a button. "Bring the car around back."
Sonia swallowed hard. What the hell had she just done? It wasn't too late to change her mind. One second she was determined to be sensible, the next she was agreeing to go to dinner with him. But there was something so darn sexy about Damek that made it impossible for her to be her normal logical self. The way he looked at her as though he found her utterly fascinating, the exotic cadence of his voice when he spoke, drew her like a moth to the proverbial flame.
Dangerous. That was the word that best described him.
She could still leave, go back to her hotel and forget she'd ever met Damek. And she was lying to herself if she thought she wasn't going to have dinner with him.
Reading what little she could find out about him and his club online had fascinated her enough to travel here to meet him. In person, he was mesmerizing. No way was she going to miss out on an opportunity to actually talk to him. And they were going out to eat in a public place. Nothing untoward would happen to her.
And if she repeated that enough to herself, she might actually believe it. Not that she thought he'd physically hurt her, because for some unexplained reason she didn't. But her intuition was screaming that her life would never be the same if she went with him.
"Are you ready?" There were so many layers to that question that Sonia wasn't sure she wanted to answer it. She settled for simply nodding.

More acquisitions, including the stuff that wouldn't fit in my last photo. Two classical CDs (Lutoslawski's Concerto For Orchestra, since I love him and haven't heard it, and Holst's Planets Suite because I don't have it for some odd reason), Slayer - South Of Heaven (someone's replaced the back tray with a red one and it looks awesome), Death - Leprosy. The other two CDs are Joy Division - Substance and the limited edition Acatalepsy EP, which has rather awesome card packaging. I've now spent £38 this week on 10 CDs, which isn't half bad! Looking forward to putting them all in my CD racks
/no life
Anyway, I've now listened to Scream Bloody Gore, the Acatalepsy (which is pretty great stuff, especially the Gorguts-ish third track - will have to do a post on them soon) and the Echo & The Bunnymen, which is kind of rubbish.

Adult Fiction CHAVEZ
Summary: An exuberant novel about a lovelorn woman obsessed with the Mexican film star Pedro Infante. Teresina ("Tere") vila is a divorced, thirty-something Chicana working "in the hinterlands of life" in Cabritoville, New Mexico, a small dusty town near El Paso, Texas. The love of her life is Lucio, a smooth-talking ne'er-do-well who will never leave his wife and ties Tere's heart in knots with a string of empty promises. Her diversions are few but intense, and center around her best fri, Irma, and her membership in the Pedro Infante Fan Club #256. "If you're MÃjicana or MÃjicano and don't know who Pedro Infante is, you should be tied to a hot stove with yucca rope and beaten with sharp dry corn husks as you stand in a vat of soggy fideos." If you're a gringo, think of him as a Mexican Elvis, a one-time carpenter whose career in song and on screen in such memorable movies as Nosotros los Pobres, Ustedes los Ricos, and Pepe, el Toro, propelled him to the heights of fame until he was killed after a plane he piloted crashed on April 15, 1957.Hilarious and heartring, Loving Pedro Infante is about the fictions we weave to justify loving the wrong mate.

The foreign affairs session started with a debate on the main aspects and choices of the CFSP and Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). The European Parliament wished to mark a new departure with this report, in contributing to the forward looking approach to the EU's Foreign Policy.

A New Framework for European Relations with Africa
It is only nine months since the creation of the European External Action Service, and only eight since I took up the job of Managing Director for Africa. So a little background on the EEAS and the MD's role might be useful. The core of my message today, however, is how the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty has helped bring a new coherence, focus and impetus to European relations with Africa – at a time when Africa has never been more important to Europe and, at the same time, some people are beginning to question the continued importance of Europe to Africa.

Events in the first decade of the millennium have shaken the foundations of the global order: the tragedy of September 11th 2001, and perhaps more importantly the legacy of September 15th 2008, among others, has triggered a tectonic shift in world politics. The pre-eminence of America is no longer assured, but nor can we say that China or another rising power will take its place. The Euro crisis has also created a sense of fragility about Europe's place in the world.

Côte d'Ivoire – the EU's challenge in helping to build democracy
Despite its economic prosperity during its first decades of independence, Côte d'Ivoire was one of the last countries in Africa to move towards democracy.

In effect, nothing was at stake in these elections, in which even non national residents (an estimated 25% of the population) were allowed to vote.

Lewisham is a district that is situated in the southern part of the city of London, in what is known as the ceremonial county of Greater London. A Lewisham holiday rental house is the ideal base from which to explore all of the attractions and sights that this bustling, vibrant capital city has to offer. A Lewisham holiday will leave you feeling exhausted but very, very happy.
Due to the fact that the district of Lewisham is located in the heart of a big city, visitors will find that there is not a huge amount of activities available. Visitors can enjoy some activities in Lewisham including the likes of swimming, golf, tennis, walking, football, netball and cycling. The district itself does have a few wonderful churches and parks that visitors will love to see during their stay including St Mary the Virgin Church which is the oldest church in Lewisham having been built in the middle of the 19th century.
If you feel the need to venture further afield than London then it is recommended that you secure your Lewisham holiday rental house and head for the town of Maidstone, which is approximately 31 miles away from the district. Maidstone has several great attractions to be enjoyed such as the Kent Life Museum. This is an open-air museum filled with old buildings, many of which were dismantled and moved to the museum since it opened in 1985. Visitors can enjoy visiting an old recreated forge, an 18th century farmhouse, a 19th century granary and several cottages which were moved to the museum which would have otherwise been destroyed with the building of the Channel Tunnel.
We all like to have wonderful weather on our holidays and so you will be pleased to hear that if you book a Lewisham holiday rental house you can expect to enjoy pleasantly warm summers but cool winters. July and August are usually the warmest months of the year for a trip, with visitors experiencing temperatures of a maximum of 23°C. The winter months of January and February see the daytime temperature drop to anywhere between 5°C and 9°C. The annual rainfall amount for the district is 22 inches with the wettest month of the year tending to be October.
Travellers on a Lewisham holiday can arrive at London Heathrow Airport (LHR) which is approximately 23 miles away from the district. Amongst the air operators offering affordable, regular flights to London are British Airways, BMI and KLM Airways. Passengers can fly into Heathrow from various other UK airports including Edinburgh (EDI), Newcastle(NCL), Manchester (MAN), Aberdeen (ABZ) and Belfast (BFS).
London will be hosting events during the London Olympics, and with Olympic rentals in Lewisham, you're right next to the sporting action.

How is technology evolving to provide enterprises with actionable data?
BANGALORE, INDIA: Data is looked upon as a business tool these days- the reason we see business people are increasingly taking control of the data in the enterprises and investing more on data centric tools to power up the business process.
Margaret Breya, executive VP and CMO, Informatica Business Solutions Pvt Ltd reveals how technology is evolving to provide enterprises with actionable data. Excerpts:
CIOL: How important are data integration capabilities from an organization's perspective?
Margaret Breya: Data management is not just about handling the transactional information or the data lying in the backend system any more. Data is no longer confined within the four walls of organizations and hence, applying a mechanism to combine the data residing in different sources and providing a unified view is crucial to drive business decisions and operations.
Enterprise data architecture and data flow are also changing drastically with the arrival of cloud, social, mobile. Therefore, cleaning up the massive volume of data coming from disparate sources and make it of decision quality, is a challenge that most of the businesses are facing today.
CIOs in the organizations need to be more nimble to meet this challenge. Be it building the information architecture to meet the real time data services requirements of the business or enabling a single of the customers to improve the decision making process- CIOs are now needed to to act as business advisory and help businesses select the right data management solutions.
CIOL: What are the key technology trends that will shape up the data integration solutions market further?
MB: Data integration is one of the fastest growing enterprise software markets - it is growing faster than security and virtualization and that's quite a stunner. A lot of developments in this market will be seen further around Big Data, machine data and the Internet of Things.
We see a huge upside in the adoption of embeddable data management engine for applications and devices. The addressable market is huge comprising 52 thousand large enterprises and 60 million medium and small enterprises. The opportunity is quite massive in the devices space, if you take into account the prediction of 50 billion connected devices by the year 2020.
We hope to scale up this opportunity with our partners. We will continue to invest in our developer programmes to help developers build custom made applications to meet specific customer requirements across different verticals. Besides corporate and individual developers, we are focusing a lot on ISVs and will make a more robust offering available them in the next six months' time.

Final Red Dead Redemption DLC Is Free, Detailed Here
Posted on Wednesday, July 27 @ 15:41:54 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
Oh, Red Dead Redemption, how to count the hours, the bullets, the lassos. Headshots turned to hat shots, kill streaks growing, magnifying, engulfing entire matches of online multiplayer.

I've emptied the heads of countless zombies. What more could you

College & Authenic Community
Did you know that Buckhead Church offers Community Groups just for college students? Here's some insight from one of our college leaders.
As a college student, you will never be more tempted to put secondary what you know needs to be primary—your relationship with Christ. Atlanta is a big city and it seems almost impossible to find other Christ-followers who want to grow in their relationship with Christ as well. So, how do college students in a big city find a way to grow in their relationship with Christ?
They join Community Groups.
A community group consists of eight to ten students who meet once a week over the course of the school year to pursue spiritual growth and healthy relationships. Community Groups have adult leaders who are a few steps ahead of you in life to help you navigate the complexities of college life and discover biblical truths. You will meet and develop friendships with other students who understand your struggles and are willing to hold you accountable and walk alongside you.
We all know college life is demanding and seems like endless work. So, what better way to grow your relationship with your heavenly Father than to step out of your schedule and step into community?
You don't need another event or church gathering. What you need is a predictable environment where you can "do life" with people you trust, where you can experience a sense of belonging and care.
You have very little to lose and so much to gain. If you would like to join a group, click here to sign up before College GroupLaunch on Sunday, September 15.

From The Back Row To A Small Group
It's GroupLink week at Buckhead Church. We say it often around here that life is better connected. Here's Joel's story of learning that first hand.
Six years ago I moved to Atlanta and began attending Buckhead Church. I spent a good number of months in the back row, maybe up in the balcony a time or two, definitely doing my best to blend in with the crowd. Moving to Atlanta was a challenging transition for me and finding a place where I belonged was a big part of that struggle. I didn't know anyone in the city and had no real clue where to begin meeting people. So, as the August Grouplink came around, I decided to take the plunge—I would join a Community Group.
Initially, I joined that first group as a way to meet people, because candidly I didn't want to sit by myself on Sunday mornings anymore. It was through this group that I began to build friendships and to know people on a deeper level. Slowly, these guys began to pour into my life and showed me they really cared. Not just if I showed up for a Sunday night Bible study or not, but they were interested in my life. Not just a surface level conversation, but the "Hey, we're going out to dinner; want to come?" or "I feel like you've got a lot going on right now. Do you want to grab a cup of coffee and catch up?" kind of conversations.
I navigated some really tough stuff that year, and they were right beside me to help me through it. As I look back on that first community group, I realize it was definitely a pivotal circumstance and filled with providential relationships. God used the guys in that group to encourage me, to help me through life's struggles, to pray for me, and ultimately to point me in the right direction so I could draw closer with the Lord.
As that group came to a close, I continued in community with another group and ultimately began leading a group myself. God's plans are always better than ours, and I would have missed these opportunities had I not been willing to get connected, to stay connected, and to risk being fully known within that community.
Without a doubt, I would not be where I am in my walk with the Lord had it not been for those he strategically placed around me along the way. I am so thankful for God's grace in my life and the many people he has put in my path. Life truly is better connected.

Busy Parents & Community Group
We know that for some of you the thought of joining a group brings up immediate objections. The chief obstacle most people face is busyness. We believe that if you give group a try, you'll be glad you did. Rather than take our word for it, we wanted to share a story from some busy parents—Mark and Penny Treese:

The Groups Team ::: Buckhead Church
Coffee and Community Group
We say around Buckhead Church that life is better connected, but don't take our word for it. Over the next couple weeks, we'll share stories from those in our church who have learned that first hand.
There's something about morning groups. They remind me of a simpler time when women gathered around a kitchen table with cups of tea or coffee to share their stories and lives. Companionship is hard to find in our busy world. We have to schedule it.
A morning group is where I learned that Jesus is real. I had been to church for years but it was just something that everyone did. When I started meeting with four other women in a morning group, I heard them talk about their faith and how they prayed. I heard my new friends share about Jesus and I was amazed that they seemed to know him. In that safe place I could ask questions. I could say what I believed without anyone scorning me. That time allowed me to grow and change.
I've been in many groups since then. The first week always requires courage. But by the second week, everyone knows where to find the cups and the coffee pot. We come on in without ringing the doorbell, gather in the kitchen first and shift our attention away from our already busy day. Then we all sit down and pause, settling into our armchairs, looking around the room, happy to be there, glad to be in a safe place where we can be ourselves.
We leave with new insight into our lives, greater compassion for each other and a deeper understanding of our incredible God. I love that time. There's just something about morning groups.

Mentoring: A Note From The Principal
On Sunday, August 11, Buckhead Church will kick off our recruitment of mentors to elementary-aged students at Woodson Primary School. Their principal wanted to drop in and share with us how important our involvement at this school is to their students.
At Carter G. Woodson Primary Elementary School, our children are our greatest resource. Every student has the right to be academically successful. Every teacher has the capacity to meet the needs of every student in every classroom. In order for every child to achieve academic success at Woodson, there must be collaboration between all stakeholders: the students, the community, the parents, the teachers, and the administration.
During my tenure as principal at Woodson, we have benefitted greatly from our partnership with Buckhead Church. Because of your generosity, this past school year our students had the opportunity to expand their experiences by participating in at least two off-site, instructionally focused field trips. In addition, our leadership team was afforded the opportunity to engage in an overnight leadership retreat that produced our instructional focus for this upcoming academic year. But, it is the power of the mentoring program that is the change agent in our students' lives.
Because we value volunteers from Buckhead Church, we created a video to invite you to return as mentors this upcoming school year. You can view it here.
Dr. Susan Crim-McClendon ::: Principal ::: Woodson Primary School

I first purchased the Jetspeed Driver when they came out. The driver (10.5*) is so easy to hit, it brings the fun back to being able to hit the fairways over and over and with above average distance. I enjoy the hitting the driver so much, I have since purchased the Jetspeed 3 wood and 5 wood and I am very satisfied with their control and distance. Two of my playing partners have hit my driver just a couple of times and they were so amazed with it, that they both asked me to order them one. They have had theirs now for about 2 weeks and they absolutely love the distance and control they are now getting. If you are looking for these goals in your game, and who isn't, you should try one, and now is a good time since their price has been reduced. Take my word for it, you will enjoy the game better using these drivers and fairway woods. Oh yeah, I'm not a long hitter but oh man, smacked my new Jetspeed 5 wood around 225 uphill, no wind...I had to take a second look to make sure it was the 5 wood...unbelievable!!!!
I bought this club and absolutely love it. Shoots out to about 240 consistently!

2013 Dallas Nissan Maxima: Touted as a four-door sports car, the 2013 Nissan Maxima serves up plenty of power and efficiency, plus room for five. In fact, Kelly Blue Book recently named the Maxima a Best Resale Value vehicle. Powering the 2013 Dallas Nissan Maxima is a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V-6, which delivers a superb 290 horses and 261 lb.-ft. of torque. Paired with an Xtronic CVT with DS and Manual modes (paddle shifters are optional), this whole setup earns drivers excellent gas mileage. Suspension specs on the 2013 Dallas Nissan Maxima show up to the party boasting an independent strut front and independent multi-link for the rear, coupled with front and rear stabilizer bars. Optional is a sport-tuned suspension, which includes retuned struts and shocks, stiffer springs, and a larger front stabilizer bar. The braking unit on the Maxima consists of 12.60-in. front and 12.13-in. rear vented discs, and a four-wheel anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist.
2013 Dallas Nissan Murano: Fact: The Nissan Murano is well-equipped in the safety department. No, really. Just last year it was awarded a perfect score from the NHTSA for its performance during side-impact crash tests. New for the 2013 model year, this crossover receives even more safety features, including the Japanese automaker's lane-departure, blind-spot and moving-object detection systems. Although the 2013 Dallas Nissan Murano is allotted only one engine, it's quite the gem. The 3.5-liter V-6 boils 260 horses and thunders 240 lb.-ft. of torque via its CVT. Front-wheel drive is standard on the 2013 Dallas Nissan Murano, and an all-wheel-drive setup is offered as an option. Bundles for this rig include a Value Package, a Navigation Package and a Platinum Edition Package. This collection tacks on 20-inch, seven-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, a stainless-steel rear bumper protector, a navigation system and more.
2013 Nissan Altima in Binghamton: The Altima is fully redesigned for the 2013 model year. According to Nissan, the company "changed nearly everything but the name." From its spectacular fuel economy to a sportier suspension and a tougher, leaner aesthetic, this season's Altima is sure to excite drivers, passengers and onlookers alike. Serving up no fewer than seven trims, this sedan also comes in a coupe version. Owners also have two engines from which to choose: Nissan situates its Binghamton 2013 Nissan Altima with either a 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V-6. The 2.5-liter engine produces 182 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to a CVT. The V-6 cranks out 270 horses and 251 lb.-ft. of torque and comes standard with this same transmission. When performing 0 to 60 mph tests, the Binghamton 2013 Nissan Altima situated with the V-6 hit its mark in 6.2 seconds. Not bad for a family mobile.
2013 Nissan Rogue in Binghamton: We've said it once, we'll say it again: The mighty world of crossovers and SUVs is incredibly wide and varied. So when it came time to review the 2013 Nissan Rogue, we were very curious about the most important specs. Including up to 57.9 cu. ft. of space, all-wheel drive, as well as an available navigation system and around-view monitor, the Binghamton 2013 Nissan Rogue is quite well equipped. Add to this its tough front stance, sleek lines and all-around sportiness, and we believe the crossover audience is just as happy as we are. Power on the Binghamton 2013 Nissan Rogue is impressive, too. Situated under the hood of this sporty crossover is a 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder that cranks out 170 horses while hammering 175 lb.-ft. of torque through its Xtronic CVT. According to Nissan, this block is crafted with direct-injection and platinum-tipped spark plugs.
