County officials: three cases of lost fingers, injured hands from snowblower incidents
Milwaukee County Emergency Medical Services reported Wednesday three accidents in which people operating snowblowers lost fingers or suffered other hand injuries, which can happen when people are attempting to unclog the machine's exit chute.
No further details of the accidents were immediately available, said Tonya Simpson, a spokesman for the county's Department of Health and Human Services.
Snowblowers should always be turned off for at least five seconds before attempting to unclog it, according to advice from the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. A stick or broom handle - not your hand - should be used to clear clogged snow from a snowblower, according to the society. (3)
Storm helps reduce Wisconsin's snow deficit
The 4-plus inches of snow that fell Friday helped ease Milwaukee's winter shortfall, but the total for the winter is still 6 inches below normal.
However, that gap could be narrowed even further with another round of snow forecast for Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Sullivan.
Most of Friday's snowfall occurred overnight, accompanied by winds gusting into the 30 mph range. »Read Full Article(2)
Teen killed in Door County snowmobile crash
A 13-year-old boy died Friday after the snowmobile he was driving collided with a truck in Door County.
The crash happened about 4:30 p.m. in the Town of Brussels. The boy later died at a Green Bay hospital.
The boy was on a designated snowmobile trail when he stopped before crossing the road. When he tried to cross the road he collided with a truck driven by a 47-year-old man.
The boy, from the Brussels area, was the only person on the snowmobile. His name was not immediately released. The truck driver, also from the Brussels area, was not hurt.
Sheriff Clarke's pro-gun radio ads will be paid by taxpayers
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. has been showered with free media time, including four appearances on two national cable TV outlets, to espouse his support for citizens arming themselves for self-protection.
But the local radio ads that launched the whirlwind of attention for Clarke were paid spots that will be billed to taxpayers through the sheriff's county budget, Clarke said Friday.
"Every penny we spend belongs to the taxpayers of this county," Clarke said in an email response. "We use public funds on public education as a means to work with people on ways designed to keep them safe. It's called crime prevention." »Read Full Article(481)
Milwaukee's southwest side is ground zero in residency rule debate
Milwaukee Ald. Joe Dudzik estimates that as many as 25% of the city's police officers and firefighters live in his south side district.
There's a good reason why: Nice homes that resemble places in the suburbs, proximity to downtown and the airport, and low crime.
"I've got blocks in my district in which nine out of 10 homes are owned by city employees," Dudzik said Friday. »Read Full Article(353)
Neenah teachers plan suit over loss of $170,000 retirement stipends
Teachers all over Wisconsin lost benefits after Act 10 eliminated most collective bargaining by public employees.
But maybe none lost more than those in Neenah, where hundreds of veteran educators are now headed to court in a class-action lawsuit to try to win back $170,000 in stipends, which supplemented their regular pensions.
District officials said changes to the retirement plan were necessary in light of $185 million in unfunded retirement liabilities. »Read Full Article(269)
Man dies after falling down warehouse elevator shaft in Superior
Superior - A 65-year-old man died after falling down an elevator shaft at a warehouse where he was working, police said.
Douglas Moen went to an emergency room in Superior Thursday, complaining of injuries he suffered in a fall, police said. Moen later died at the hospital.
Moen had been working at the warehouse with two other men moving furniture, police said. The building was dark, so Moen tried to find a light switch but fell 8 to 10 feet down the elevator shaft.
The two other men heard Moen yelling for help and took him to the hospital because he did not want an ambulance called, police said.
Michael Crowley to step down as Bank Mutual CEO
Michael T. Crowley Jr., an executive with Bank Mutual Corp. for 45 years, will step down as chief executive officer this summer, according to a document filed Friday with regulators.
Bank Mutual President David A. Baumgarten will succeed Crowley as CEO when Crowley retires on or about July 1, the document says. Baumgarten is a former Associated Banc-Corp executive who joined Bank Mutual in 2010.
Crowley will continue to serve as chairman of the company.
Brown Deer-based Bank Mutual is the parent company of Bank Mutual banks. It is the third-biggest bank with headquarters in Wisconsin.
LogistiCare leaving Wisconsin after all
LogistiCare, the much-criticized company that's been dispatching medical rides for Medicaid patients in Wisconsin since 2011, will be leaving the state after all.
LogistiCare, along with four other prospective bidders, had officially told the state this month that they intended to bid on a new contract. But company officials changed their minds at the last minute out of financial concerns, a manager told the Journal Sentinel on Friday.
Two other potential bidders also backed out - American United Taxi Cab, which was mainly interested in providing services in southeast Wisconsin rather than the entire state and made a last-minute decision not to submit a bid, and a co-op of transportation providers and county officials called the Wisconsin Coordinated Transportation Co-op, which did not get its paperwork together by Thursday's deadline. »Read Full Article(29)

State health secretary steps down; deputy appointed to top job

Lifting residency rule would benefit the city, Sheriff Clarke says
Gov. Scott Walker's proposed elimination of residency requirements for local government employees gets strong support from Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr.

State's private-sector job creation slowed, census data shows
Job creation in Wisconsin slowed markedly between July and September, according to the most recent available government data deemed credible by economists.
According to a report Friday from the state Department of Workforce Development, the state added 20,481 private-sector jobs in the 12-months that ended September - with most of the weakness in the final three months of that period. That 12-month increase is a little more than half of the average gain of 37,355 for the preceding seven quarterly reports.
Friday's report also contained the weakest reading since the 12 months of September 2009 to September 2010 - a period that overlapped with the last recession. »Read Full Article(716)

Man in officer-involved shooting was shot 4 times
The 43-year-old man who was shot and critically wounded by a Milwaukee police sergeant on Thursday after the man shot and wounded his girlfriend has been released from the hospital, police said Friday.
Authorities are still investigating the officer-involved shooting, which occurred about noon Thursday in the 5200 block of N. 45th St. Police said the man had threatened to shoot his 44-year-old girlfriend, children and other family members. When two sergeants attempted to negotiate with him, he shot the woman, police said. One of the sergeants, a 45-year-old man who has been with the department for 18 years, then shot the man. In the process, the girlfriend and a family member of the suspect were also injured, according to police.
"Our investigation shows that the sergeant fired his duty weapon four times, striking the armed suspect with each round," Milwaukee police Sgt. Mark Stanmeyer said in a statement Friday. "The cause of the injury to the 65-year-old family member who was trying to intervene in the domestic violence incident remains under investigation, however it is likely that one of the rounds fired by the sergeant went through the suspect, striking the family member in the arm." »Read Full Article

West Allis leaders to discuss hiring director of public safety as city faces vacancies at police, fire chief
In a week, West Allis will not have a police chief or a fire chief.
In a letter dated Wednesday, Fire Chief Steven Hook announced his plans to retire Feb. 28.
Over at the Police Department, Charles Padgett has been interim chief since the retirement of chief Michael Jungbluth at the end of 2012. The Police and Fire Commission thought it had the police chief job nailed down with the appointment of Rick Balistrieri last week. But he suddenly withdrew his acceptance after he didn't get unanimous approval by the commission. The Common Council was made aware of his withdrawal Tuesday morning. »Read Full Article
Summit Credit Union to close Brown Deer Road branch
Summit Credit Union said Friday it plans to close its location at 6914 W. Brown Deer Road on March 29.
"The decision to close the Brown Deer Road location came after careful consideration and evaluation of our branch network," Kim Sponem, chief executive and president of Madison-based Summit, said in a statement. "The Brown Deer Road branch was underutilized, and because it was not full-service, many of our members were already using our other three Milwaukee locations, as well as the shared credit union service branch just five blocks from the Brown Deer Road office."
The ATM at the Brown Deer Road location will continue to remain available to members, Summit said. »Read Full Article(1)
Packers GM Ted Thompson on Sherrod/Bulaga, team's leadership, Harris, Driver
Indianapolis - General manager Ted Thompson just finished up his media sessions here at Lucas Oil Stadium, speaking to reporters at the podium and then the local media again in the lobby. Again, Thompson declined to speak about free agents and draft prospects specifically, but he did offer some thoughts on the Packers' changing roster and a handful of players on the team.
Here are some highlights:
--- It's hard to argue with the Packers' decision to release Charles Woodson. The aging defensive back was due $10 million and has broken his collarbone twice in three years. Still, in losing Woodson, Donald Driver and Jeff Saturday, Green Bay also loses a lot of leadership inside the locker room. »Read Full Blog Post(29)

Woman held in shooting of husband
A 34-year-old man was injured Friday morning when his 31-year-old wife shot him during a domestic violence-related argument, according to Milwaukee police.
The shooting happened in a residence in the 5500 block of N. 32nd St. about 7:15 a.m., Milwaukee police Sgt. Mark Stanmeyer said in a news release Friday.
He said the victim is being treated at a hospital for what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries. The woman was arrested and the investigation is ongoing, he said.
ACLU Wisconsin backs residency requirement
The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin says it is opposed to Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to end residency rules statewide for public employees.
But it is a nuanced argument. The ACLU's statement, presented to Milwaukee's Fire and Police Commission on Thursday, says the group believes that residency requirements for municipal employment violate civil liberties, "unless the residency requirement is supported by a compelling government interest directly related to employment."
Chris Ahmuty, ACLU of Wisconsin's executive director, told the commission that Milwaukee's residency rule for members of the fire and police departments "fulfills a compelling state interest, because it advances diversity in the ranks and helps ensure employment opportunities for people best acquainted with our city." »Read Full Blog Post(56)

DOT: We don't want to disturb graves at Wood
Steve Krieser, executive assistant at the state Department of Transportation, says a provision in Gov. Scott Walker's budget will give the agency the ability to examine all possible alternatives for I-94 east and west between N. 25th and N. 70th streets.
Krieser was responding to a budget item that would repeal a law that prohibits a freeway rehabilitation project from adding vehicle lanes on I-94 adjacent to Wood National Cemetery.
In an email, Krieser wrote that, under federal law, "the department is required to consider all viable alternatives for the reconstruction of a federal aid highway during the environmental study process. The provision...will give us the ability to examine all possible alternatives for I-94 E/W during the environmental process. With respect to the I-94 E/W study project, we're still in the process of taking public input, and using that input to further refine alternatives." »Read Full Blog Post(31)
Most flights on schedule at Mitchell; plane stalled an hour
Because of fortuitous timing, the snowstorm in southeastern Wisconsin early Friday hardly affected Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee.
The snow tapered off around 5:30 a.m. - right when the airport's first daily flights are scheduled to depart. That meant only four flights were listed as possible delays.
"We had snow crews out throughout the night," airport spokesman Ryan McAdams said. "The timing of this storm was just right for us." »Read Full Article

Best Buy replaces 'lemon' TV - after multiple requests

Henry B. Brown
Henry Billings Brown was born and raised in a small Massachusetts town. He led a privileged life, and was a good though undistinguished student. He avoided service in the Civil War by hiring a substitute, an accepted practice in his day.
Brown held several government positions at the federal and state levels. He was a well-regarded federal judge in Michigan when Howell Edmonds Jackson, a former senator and friend of President Harrison, urged Brown's move to the Supreme Court. Brown returned Jackson's favor by urging Harrison to "bring up" Jackson three years later.
Brown authored in excess of 450 majority opinions during his years on the Court. He gave preference to private property claims and he defended free competition. But Brown also took a broad view of the state's police powers including governmental restrictions on laissez faire.
Brown will probably be forever marked by a single opinion he authored for a majority: Plessy v. Ferguson. Brown no doubt reflected the view of his day that whites were biologically separate from blacks and that whites were superior to blacks as a group.

'Lester's Time Has Come Today' on Kickstarter
Hollywood is a wonderful place. Especially if you're a scum bag in a suit. This town has defined dishonesty and corruption on many levels and taught the rest of the corporate world how to follow in its footsteps.
Hollywood accounting is synonymous with outright theft. By developing a method of showing on the books that virtually every project they do makes no money, they've swindled artist after artist for decades upon end.
Perhaps the sector most notorious for this pig behavior is the music recording industry. There's a long long list of great musicians and songwriters who's been screwed out of royalties by these guys over generations.
By the way folks. Who's leading the charge to censor the Internet? Guessed Hollywood? Guessed right!
Now there's something called crowdfunding and a site that's leading the way in this new world of venture capitalism. It's called Kickstarter.com and along with many other sites devoted to this end, is fast revolutionizing how business is done not only in entertainment, but with business in general!
Business as usual is not business as usual any longer thanks to crowdfunding!
Consider the following...
Re: 'Lester's Time Has Come Today' on Kickstarter
Lester Chambers was a member of The Chambers Brothers back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were a popular group that had a hot hit song that most classic rock aficionados will pick up on right away.
Time Has Come Today...
More cowbell!
Anyway, know what the royalties they received on this song and the album were for 27 years? From 1969 up to 1996 they received ... that's right... zilch as in nothing. It was top of the charts back then and is played on the radio all the time and has also played in movies and probably commercials too.
But it made no money! Don;t believe me? Just ask the Hollywood accountants! How can they pay royalties on music that makes no money? It's all right there in the books!

Re: 'Lester's Time Has Come Today' on Kickstarter
Thanks to a good soul by the name of Alexis Ohanian and the perseverance of a now 72 year old Lester Chambers and his son there's a Kickstarter campaign devoted to getting Lester a budget so he can record an album on his own. No record companies, no crooked accountants, no 'get a lawyer' response from indifferent management types.
Just the musician and a straight path to his fans and supporters.
With 1,944 backers so far and 11 days to go, the $53,883 that's been pledged so far is well beyond the initial $39,000 goal.

Music to my ears!
Congratulations to the "Lester's Time Has Come Today" campaign for proving yet again that WE DON'T NEED THEM ANYMORE !!!
Re: 'Lester's Time Has Come Today' on Kickstarter

Well, there are some network monitoring & management tools for Mac OS X you may want to have a look at (although I haven't found a direct hit I guess). For example,
To see who is on your network you may use Ntop.
Since Mac OS X is a Unix-based operating system, there are also command line tools that allow you to manage other Macs remotely via SSH. For example,

ETSU women's basketball signs two during early period
Thursday, November 18, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 18, 2010) - Head ETSU women's basketball coach Karen Kemp and her staff announced Thursday that Cara Bowling (Elizabethon, Tenn.) and Brianna Bogard (Georgetown, Texas) have signed their national letter of intent to play for the Lady Bucs starting in the fall of 2011.
"Overall we are thrilled with this early signing class, because Cara and Bri address our key needs for next season," Kemp said. "I am very excited that we were able to add a local product in Cara, because she can contribute and help push our players to get better. Losing T.D. (Tara Davis) to graduation in May is a key loss, so we needed to go out and find a point guard that can step in and play right away. We think we found that player in Bri."
Bowling, a 5-foot-8 guard from Elizabethon High School, was named 2009-10 Player of the Year and 2007 Freshman of the Year. In addition, Bowling is a three-time All-Conference member, while being tabbed All-District (2007-08) and District MVP in 2009. The Elizabethton, Tenn. product reached the 1,000-point club as a junior (1,250 total points), and has compiled 367 rebounds, 246 assists, and 251 steals with the Cyclones. Bowling is a 42 percent 3-point and 82 percent free throw shooter in her three-year high school career thus far.
"Keeping local players in the area is important to me and I am excited to have Cara join our program in 2011-12," added Kemp. "Cara is a hardworking player who can do a little bit of everything. She is a very tough competitor that wants to win and compete each time she steps on the floor. Cara can shoot the short to mid-range jumper and she is always working to improve her game. Having her on the wing provides us with another threat and gives us depth at that position."
Meanwhile, Bogard will also join the Lady Bucs in 2011-12; however, she will have a little longer trip to Johnson City as she hails from Georgetown, Texas. Bogard is a multi-sport athlete at Georgetown High School, where she lettered in basketball and softball. The 5-foot-7 point guard brings a winning pedigree to ETSU as she helped guide the Lady Eagles to 91 wins and three straight district championships. Bogard, the 2009-10 Central Texas Player of the Year, is averaging 13.8 points, 4.0 assists and 3.9 steals per game in high school. The Georgetown, Texas native is also a First Team All-State selection and McDonalds All-American Nominee.
"One of many things that we liked about Bri was her high basketball IQ," said Kemp. "Bri is a gritty and scrappy point guard who is deceivingly quick. She can shoot the three and is a strong leader - who knows how to control the game. She can affect the game through many ways with her leadership and she knows how to win."
The 2010-11 Lady Buccaneer women's basketball team is set to host Appalachian State Friday night to kick off homecoming weekend. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.

We like to consider ourselves champions of fabulous (and fabulously strong) women. Spying super-successful chicas kicking booty in the world while being oh-so-effortlessly chic at the same time is inspiration for our careers and our wardrobes.One such superwoman, Poppy de Villeneuve, is a photographer-slash-director who keeps her chic level on high, even with her chock-a-block full calendar. Between projects like shooting young athletes for Opening Ceremony and creating an Instagram music video for The Vaccines, she keeps her Brooklyn digs stocked with fashionable finds from A.P.C., Zac Posen, and vintage, vintage, vintage.

Come take a peek inside the creativity queen's Fort Greene brownstone, and get ready to fall in love with the homey, quirky-meets-chic decor. Don't you wish you could Instagram every shot?

In my current project we have to implement navigation till third level so I thought of utilizing subsites. They don't want to have subsites instead they want on page Library and create a navigation. I dont see any cons of creating subsite is there is any disadvantges of Sharepoint subsites?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No, I would even advise to work with subsites to create your navigation structure. Using subsites, it's very easy to group information that belongs in one place, and provides even easier use to display context-sensitive content in a content by query webpart.
It's also interesting to use for seo-purposes, because you can make site names descriptive for the content that resides in those sites.
No it's very common for WCM to use a lot of subsites

Faux bamboo originated in Asia. Western traders discovered it along the Silk Roads and brought it to the West during the 18th century. Even Louis XIV used the faux-bamboo motif at the Palace of Versailles! Not to be confused with natural rattan, faux-bamboo is man-made through a meticulous process. Each piece is cast from a hand-crafted mold and then assembled together. It works anywhere, from beach retreats to city flats.
Bamboo drapery rods and drapery hardware accessories from Phase II are made from carved wood and resin that simulate the look of real bamboo. Phase II Bamboo rods are carved out of wood poles to simulate the real look of bamboo. Your finishes and looks will be more consistent than what real bamboo can provide. Made from wood and resin, faux bamboo rods let you create stylish and exotic themes for your home reminiscent of a tropical vacation. Phase II bamboo rod diameters are 1 1/4 inches. They are available in two color finishes: Mahogany and Oak, at 4 foot, 6 foot, and 8 foot lengths. When choosing Phase II bamboo rods, it's important that you realize that although we will not cut these poles down for you, they can be cut down at home. How? Take equal amounts off each end of the pole. Easy! Need a pole longer that what is listed? Simply connect 2 poles together with a connector screw and use a center support bracket to hide the seam giving you an extra-long curtain rod.
We love to link our outdoor spaces with our indoor spaces and we love to create interiors that are both beautiful and hospitable. Bamboo makes this an elegant possibility. It's rare to find a piece that works just as well on the porch as it does in your foyer. Just a piece or two of bamboo can instantly downplay a formal space or liven up a boring room. Why not create a rotating display of cherished family pictures? A stylish, interchangeable hanging display can be put together easily .Suspended a collection of neutral-toned s frames from extra-wide, striped ribbons looped over a handsome faux-bamboo curtain rod from the Bamboo drapery rods collection from Phase II. After hanging the curtain rod, determine where the frames should fall. Try staggered heights, as this creates a less formal look. After filling the frames with photos turn them face-down on a flat surface and attach a length of ribbon to the center of the top and bottom edges of the frame with a staple gun (hot glue would work, too), allowing a "tail" to trail out from the bottom. The looped ribbon then slides onto the rod — and slides off easily again when you are ready to change your display. Tip: Choose shallow brackets so your rod sits relatively close to the wall — if the frames hang too far away, they may swing a bit instead of facing straight ahead.

Here's the censored video:
And commentary on the censorship - ON YOUTUBE~! HAHAHAHAHAHHAA~!
And an article on the video being pulled:
Poking fun at a public figure who openly calls for skeptics of man-made global warming to be ŌĆ£treatedŌĆØ as a way of re-educating them is apparently off limits for You Tube, who censored a video in which Alex Jones used absurdist satire as a vehicle to illustrate the crackpot and dangerous beliefs of University of Oregon Professor Kari Norgaard.
The original video can be viewed at that URL via Blip.tv.
I saw the video the other day, and all he did was poke fun at this professor:
Jones gave her the "Skeksy Award", which is really just a joke.
There's nothing remotely worth censoring in the video. Sure the humour may be a bit silly, but so what?
And yeah... it's a publicly traded company and all that... But still... Whether it's Amazon deleting books, or Apple banning apps, or Google censoring videos, there's something sickening about control freak censorship.

By Jeff Copetas, VP of Marketing & E-Commerce
Last week we had a quick chat with the Pittsburgh Penguins Pascal Dupuis. The week before it was the first in our recurring series of chats with USHL player Todd Skirving. Today we're throwing a little bit of a curveball at you.
Michael Vartan is a bigtime Hollywood actor. If you are a male anywhere between the ages of, say, 20-50 years old, you probably watched the show "Alias" because Jennifer Garner used to jump around and look ridiculously sexy while doing so. I will readily admit having a huge crush on her back then. Well, Michael Vartan was the lead actor on Alias, playing Michael Vaughn, Garner's partner and romantic love interest in the mysterious Government entity of ass-kickers. Since Alias, Vaughn hasn't rested on his laurels – he's been on several series, including Big Shots and more recently, playing a doctor on TNT's "Hawthorne." Vartan was also in the GREAT movie Columbiana (if you haven't seen it, SEE IT!).
Vartan is a HUGE hockey fan and a hockey player as well, so we thought it would be interesting to hear from him about his playing background, his love for the game and how an unlikely French-born Hollywood actor found the game of hockey. He promised me that his L.A. Kings would take good care of the Cup before it comes back to Boston next year. I do appreciate that very much. Here he is drinking from the Cup in LA a few weeks ago!
And we're off…..
