UW takes over third place in Big Ten
Evanston, Ill. - Wisconsin's task was clear.
Facing a young Northwestern team with three freshmen in the starting lineup and only eight scholarship players in uniform, UW had an opportunity to win on the road and stay within striking distance of first place in the Big Ten.

Jury in Williams inquest begins deliberating
For the first time in more than two decades, a Milwaukee County inquest jury in a police-custody death case heard two arguments Wednesday: One in favor of criminal charges and one against.
Both arguments - equally compelling - were made by special prosecutor John Franke after seven days of testimony in the case of Derek Williams, who died in police custody in July 2011.
Jurors are being asked to decide whether three officers should be charged with the misdemeanor crime of failure to render aid by a law enforcement officer in connection with Williams' death. The officers are Richard Ticcioni, who put his knee on Williams' back during the arrest; and Jeffrey Cline and Jason Bleichwehl, who each spent time in the front of the squad car while Williams gasped for air in the back. »Read Full Article
Scott Walker's budget proposal calls for ending residency requirements statewide
As part of his budget, Gov. Scott Walker is calling for the statewide elimination of residency laws that require municipal employees to live in the city or village where they work.
The governor also said he wanted to freeze property taxes, except for new construction, and hold the line on any new shared revenue or new transportation aid.
The sweeping proposal on residency laws - a single sentence in Walker's budget - would affect an estimated 127 municipalities across the state, including Milwaukee, the state's largest city. »Read Full Article

Walker's budget to lower tax rates, freeze local aid
Madison - Paring income taxes for the middle class and keeping property taxes frozen, Gov. Scott Walker unveiled a two-year $68 billion budget Wednesday that would not increase state aid to local governments and provide only a modest hike to public schools, instead funneling tax dollars into public universities, private voucher schools and upkeep of the state's health programs.
The budget would have sweeping effects on Milwaukee, advancing work on the Zoo Interchange and the Hoan Bridge, remaking an $11 million transitional job program in the city and ending a 75-year requirement that police and other public employees must live in the city where they serve. That last provision would affect scores of communities around Wisconsin.
In two of the biggest ticket items, the Republican governor over two years would cut income taxes by $343 million, or 2.2% overall, and increase funding to the University of Wis consin System by $181 million. Introducing Sgt. Luis Cortes-Avila, a National Guard soldier who became a U.S. citizen while serving in Afghanistan, the governor said in his 41-minute speech that his budget would help more Wisconsinites like the veteran live the American dream. »Read Full Article

Exact Sciences cancer test closer
Exact Sciences Corp. reported flat revenue and a wider loss in the fourth quarter, missing analysts' estimates by 4 cents a share.
But Wall Street analysts who dialed in to the Madison company's conference call on Wednesday were not looking to discuss the financial results. They focused instead on Exact's regulatory application for and subsequent launch of its first product - a noninvasive, DNA-based test for detecting colon cancer.
"At this point, Exact's revenue and earnings are not important to investors," said Jeff Elliott, senior research analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. Investors are more interested in whether or not the $108 million in cash the company has on hand will be enough to cover costs it will incur as it brings the test to market, said Elliott, who has his highest "outperform" rating on the stock. »Read Full Article

Cardinal Timothy Dolan gives deposition in Milwaukee archdiocesan bankruptcy
New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, former archbishop of Milwaukee, was deposed Wednesday about clergy sex abuse in the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese's bankruptcy case, church officials and lawyers said.

The pope announced last week that he was stepping down, the first sitting pope to do so in more than 600 years.
Dolan, the most influential Catholic bishop in the United States, has been mentioned as a long shot to succeed Benedict, though many feel an American is unlikely to be picked. »Read Full Article

At the Marcus, sisters are doing it for themselves
Having transformed an awful nun's choir into disco-dancing divas, Deloris Van Cartier - a.k.a. Sister Mary Clarence, in the touring production of "Sister Act" now at the Marcus Center - has it out with the dour Mother Superior.

Ex-police chief says he personally patrolled Supreme Court
Madison – Former Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs said this week he at times personally patrolled areas near the state Supreme Court as part of an effort to provide more security for two justices.
Tubbs made the statement as he backed up Justice Ann Walsh Bradley's claim that she was given a security plan two months before an incident in which Justice David Prosser put his hands on Bradley's neck.

Let's talk about the words "like" and "love."
Love used to be reserved for your spouse and other relatives. It was an expression of extreme affection, passion and "I'll throw myself on the railroad tracks for you." However, in the past years, love has morphed into a verb we use carelessly. We now love chocolate and Justin Bieber. Love as an active verb has been watered down.
Like, on the other hand, has been raised to a place of honor. We like people on Facebook. What in the world is that all about? As far as I know, you go to someone's Facebook page and click on "like." I think that means you want to know what they had for supper and what they look like now compared as to when you first liked them in high school. People's self-esteem now depends on how many people like them on Facebook.
My experience with Facebook was very short-lived. I was talked into joining by a son who helped me do it. I was instantly inundated by people who wanted to "friend" me. I figure that wasn't because I am so charismatic but simply because of a combination of being old and having had a circle of friends in three different states throughout my life. I know about 4,300 people, and they all wanted to friend me. So, I was learning that the word "friend" had also morphed and changed. I was so overwhelmed by offers that I immediately resigned, causing trauma to my youngest son who wailed, "My own mother has de-friended me!"
So, in the midst of my dilemma of what "like" and "love" and "friendship" truly are, stepped my 7-year-old granddaughter, Grace, who lives in Utah. We were talking on the phone, and I asked her how her day had gone.
"It was awful, Grandma! My best friend choked me with my jacket!" she told me.
"She probably won't be your best friend anymore, will she?" I asked.
"Oh, she'll be my best friend FOREVER, Grandma!"
"Even though she strangled you?"
"I gave her a Best Friends Forever (BFF) bracelet. She'll ALWAYS be my best friend."
Thus I learned from Grace what the real meaning of friendship is — even when that friend chokes you. Wouldn't it be wonderful if simple BFF bracelets could solve all relationship problems? Nations could exchange BFF jewelry. Brides and grooms could exchange BFF rings. The possibilities are limitless.
Grace and I exchanged bracelets on my last visit, so I'm safe. Although I don't think he'll wear it, I might send my youngest son a BFF bracelet, just to let him know I still love him even though I can't "like" him.

JAY TWP. - In November of 2012, Jay Township received some $70,000 in natural gas impact fee money through Pennsylvania's Act 13 legislation.
While the supervisors previously approved use of the funds for the purchase of a $50,000 truck and creation of a $5,000 bridge project fund, a unanimous decision on how much township entities would receive has continuously eluded the board.

Story, photos and video by Morgan Ottier, Kara Schawk and Mary Beth Weissmueller
There are 2.7 million people in the Chicago metropolitan area. In a city of this size, it is often easy for people to overlook the stories behind the faces they only have short encounters with each day – including Chicago cab drivers.
Over the course of one night, ChicagoStorytelling's team traveled five miles in three taxis and learned the stories of three immigrants driving those cabs … and their chase for the "American Dream."

'Current' denotes 4th Quarter 2011. Wages are base year 2011, aged forward using the Employment Cost Index.
Entry Wage: Average of the lowest 1/3 employed.
Experienced Wage: Average of the highest 2/3 employed.
Data for detailed occupations does not sum to the totals because the totals include data for occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers.
Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.
The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.
Hourly wage rates for occupations where workers typically work fewer than 2,080 hours per year are not available.

Dear All,
Mouser has suggested making a DC Launchbar app in another thread. I actually believe a seperate application is more trouble than it's worth; FARR can do that job really easily. The two apps overlap somewhat, and unification has many benefits.
My proposal is to integrate virtual groups, based on shortcuts dragged-n-dropped into a menu editor that would be part of FARR. FARR will be dockable and allow buttons to be bound to those groups and displayed on its interface. That gets you a launchbar. FARR will also be able to adaptively search as usual, including in such groups, thus leveraging its fast and efficient search in a unified manner.
The mockup show FARR as launchbar and as adaptive searcher. I've taken a slight liberty to have FARR skinned in a way currently not possible, but it does not affect the main point that integrating these two seems not only intuitive and logical, but will unify development efficiently: [ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]

On February 24, 2013, the residents of the fishing village of Maeami-hama, on a secluded inlet on the Pacific coast of Tohoku, gathered to celebrate the opening of its new community house.
The community invited partners KMDW architects (Tokyo) and Architecture for Humanity Japan to join in a feast the fishermen caught that very morning - abalone, octopus, seaweed, rice pastries and refreshments.
The merriment lasted well into the afternoon, accompanied by stories and jokes, tours and inspections of the structure, and a guest appearance from Ultraman. The Maeami community is very happy about this new structure, which replaces a concrete community house that was condemned and demolished after the 2011 tsunami.
The construction system, developed by KMDW and Keio University, utilizes a kit of plywood parts as structural elements. The house shows beautiful details, joinery and cladding, rounding out a useful and warm community space, and tectonic architectural marvel.
Full update at Architecture for humanity
We broke ground (officially) on the morning of November 4th, with the members of the Maeami community, KMDW and AFH attending. Immediately after the ceremony, all of us started clearing the surrounding site to make space for the building material that will be coming in. Trees that had died from the salt water behind were also cut down to make sure they don't fall over the finished building.
Hundreds of plywood boards to arrive soon!
Ground breaking ceremony
Trees are cut and site is cleaned
On a breezy and cold Sunday morning, Staff from KMDW (Architect of Record), local fishermen, and AFH Design fellows, joined the contractors to help prepare and setup the foundation form for the concrete pour.
Local fishermen also helping out
Center section of the existing foundation was excavated and rebars were set in place. The perimeter of the existing foundation was drilled to house the rebars and form was set in place. As with all rebuilding projects at the region, concrete is still difficult to obtain, especially on schedule. When it is delivered, the concrete will be poured, and they will serve as a new foundation to withhold the load.
Group picture
This community house is going to be built on the existing concrete foundation of a storage building that was washed away by the tsunami, but parts of the foundation need to be rebuilt in order to place the new building on it. Mr. Suzuki from Maeami-hama, the MInami-sanriku carpenters (Mr. Endo and Mr. Kikuchi), demolition professionals, and Toru from AFH began demolition on parts of the foundation. Concurrently, we started marking of the new building so that we can start building as soon as we obtain the building permit.
Meanwhile, the review process of the building permit is taking much longer than usual. The inspection office updated us the schedule, and we'll receive the permit by the 1st of November.
Pre-demolition meeting
Partial demolition of the existing foundation
We submitted the application for the building permit at a private inspection office based on the information we received from the Ishinomaki Office. The review period is usually 2-3 weeks.
Before constructing a building in Japan, it is typical to have a concrete plinth on the earth as the foundation. We were able to obtain the aid of two carpenters from Minami-sanriku (Mr. Endo, and Mr. Kikuchi) and requested their skills in the construction of the foundation. This project will encourage the community to engage the construction to bring the sense ownership to this community building.
When constructing a building in Japan, the government needs to approve that the building conforms to the Building Standards Act. This is called the building permit (or construction permit) and requires many documents. KMDW prepared and delivered the required documents to Toru Nakaki, the design fellow for this project. Toru went to Ishinomaki City Hall for prior consultation with the documents, and the city official required us to submit additional documentation because this building technique is very unique.

We met up to inspect the existing reinforced concrete foundation, which we plan to reuse, during a construction hearing, with Mr. Tsuchii from KMDH and Mr. Suzuki, the client. We also decided on such things as the design of the plans and the height of the roof.
Here are some drawings that KMDH prepared.
Building Sections
Architecture for Humanity is partnering with KMDW (Kobayashi Maki Design Workshop) in Tokyo to construct the community house for people of Maeami-hama using the innovative building technology. One of the principals of KMDW, Hiroto Kobayashi, is also a professor at Keio University. He and his students designed, developed and constructed the award-winning community house in the town of Utazu in Miyagi Prefecture using sheets of salvaged plywood washed away by the tsunami.
Members of KMDW (Mr. Kobayashi is the guy on the left)
Basically the structure is consisted of a horizontal sheet of plywood slid into a slit in vertical sheets of plywood. KMDW is now working on the drawing set to submit for the permit.

The members of the community are very excited to see the project moving forward, and they are even willing to lend some hands during the construction. Mr. Kobayashi thinks the community gains the sense of ownership by actively participating in the project.
After a year of contemplation among the community, Architecture for Humanity and the Maeami Reconstruction Project Team started to map out the possibilities of the way to design and construct the community house on the existing concrete foundation at the entrance of the village.
First, we have to obtain the permission from the city of Ishinomaki to build on the inundated foundation. The building was washed out by the tsunami, but the foundation seems to be intact. However, it is hard to determine if it is safe without a structural testing.
Second, we have to find a designer and builder. Designers/architects and builders in the area are extremely busy. It is hard to find people who are willing to travel to a remote place like Maeami-hama. It takes an hour and a half on a narrow and winding road to get to Maeami-hama from Ishinomaki city by car.
Despite of many obstacles, the community members are willing to take on this challenge because they understand how important to have their community house built for their village. We are seeking every possibility to make this happen. So please make contribution if possible, and stay tuned.
The community center is damaged badly by the tsunami, but it still serves the purpose.

THE VERY BEST!!!! I've made this several times and it is always delicious. I made it last night for my parents and they couldn't stop raving. My mom is an awesome cook -- most everything is made from scratch -- and both my mom and dad said this was the BEST SOUP they've EVER had (they are in the 60s-70s). I think my dad ate four huge bowls and he asked for some to take home!!!! That is the highest compliment!! I make a few minor revisions -- I double the onion, butter, carrots, black pepper and bay leaf and add minced garlic. I also make the Boiled Chicken recipe from this site (using 4 lb. raw chicken) and use all of that chicken PLUS part of that broth instead of all water (probably 2-3 cups of the broth and 9-10 cups water). I also cook it alot longer -- a couple of hours -- before adding the noodles. I also use frozen noodles (Reames brand). These noodles are thick and hearty and really make for a delicious, homemade taste and presentation. Thanks Sherry for an awesome recipe!!! Now, I'm off to have a bowl for lunch. I'm glad I didn't give all of the leftovers to my dad to take home!!! ha ha
Not good, but can be easily improved. Saute veggies,or micro or use frozen peas, carrots, etc. Second, don't use bouillon cubes. They're terrible tasting, not healthy (way too much salt, no nutritional value) & make awful broth. Instead use Swanson's chix broth instead, this is the closest to homemade & it's true. It's worth the extra cost to use "Swanson's", as their broth is nutritional, plus non fat. Per other reviewer, OK to cook the chix w/the broth. Can substitute noodles w/pastina, alphabet pasta, orzo pasta.

Don't need cooked chicken the chicken can and should be cooked with the soup. Can swap chick broth for cubes and water. I added 4 times the carrots. Excellent and easy!
fantastic soup!I used 2 boxes of Swansons Organic Chicken Broth along with 4 cups of chicken stock instead of the chicken boulillon and water. Added a small bag of frozen white corn. also, i used a whole store bought rotisserie chicken instead of just chopping up cooked chicken meat. I placed the whole chicken in to the pot when adding the veggies, spices,and broth and simmered it all for 30 minutes like the recipe says to do. Then removed the whole chicken from the pot and removed the meat from the bird then placed the meat back in to the pot of soup. I've had so many complements on this recipe it is unbelievable. Everyone says it's the BEST chicken soup they have ever had. Thanks so much for this wonderful easy recipe!
This was so good...I sauteed the celery and onions as directed and then threw everything into the crockpot and cooked it on low for about 7 hours.. I didnt have any egg noodles so the last 20 minutes of cooking I broke up pieces of lasagna noodles and threw them in..It was great!!.. I served it with grilled cheese sandwhiches and it took me back to when I was a kid and my grandmother made the same meal for me...
Kiki (Brampton,ON Canada)
Delicious soup! I put all ingredients in crockpot except noodles, simmered for 6-7 hours, turned to high then added a bag of Reames frozen noodles. Absolutely wonderful!
this recipe was easy for a guy who only cooks while the wife is at work. i added an undiluted can of cream of chicken soup and a can of cream of celery soup. she not only raved about it but she froze the leftovers and made another meal of it a few days later.
Very tasty! On my second time around I added twice as many carrots and half the butter so it wasn't as greasy. I also used boneless chicken thighs. Excellent!

In 1997, the then 22-year-old Sutton Foster landed her first real Broadway role as the Star To Be in the musical "Annie."
Fate, it seems, knew what was in store for the actress.
Nine Broadway shows later, Foster has two Tony Awards as well as a couple of Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards to her credit. She starred in her own TV show, "Bunheads," and even appeared on "Sesame Street." Now, Foster is ready for a more intimate setting.
The talented actor/singer will perform some of her own songs as well as popular show tunes on Saturday at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda.
Foster said the biggest difference between her Broadway shows and the cabaret-style show she's bringing to Strathmore is that she's not playing a character, she'll just be herself.
"It's a totally different side of me as a performer," Foster said. "The last thing I did in New York was 'Anything Goes,' where I was sort of a fabulous character with fabulous costumes and a wig and lots of makeup and eyelashes. Here it's just a chance for audiences to get to know me as, like, the essence of who I am as a person as opposed to the characters that I've played.
"It's a really cool opportunity to be able to sing the songs that I love and that I want to sing, say the things that I want to say and to sort of create an evening of song for an audience. It's definitely a more intimate insight into who I am."
Foster grew up in the small town of Statesboro, Ga., with her brother, Hunter. Foster's father worked for General Motors, so the family moved to Troy, Mich., when she was older. Foster's brother is a Broadway star in his own right, having been nominated for several awards for his role in "Urinetown." He also received a Tony nomination for playing Seymour in the revival of "Little Shop of Horrors." Still, Foster said it never dawned on them that they could do this for a living.
"We don't come from a showbiz family," Foster said. "My mom was a mom and my dad worked for General Motors. I started dancing when I was 4, but it wasn't like, 'Come on, honey, let's go put on a show!' It was more like that's just what you do. It was fun. We got involved in community theater as kids and dancing and singing and performing — but I had no idea … I didn't even know that a thing like Broadway existed …
"When we moved to Michigan when I was 13, that was when I realized 'Oh, you can do this and get paid?!' It didn't even cross my mind, although I didn't really have anything else I was interested in. There was never that one moment where it was like 'This is what I'm going to do for the rest of my life!'"
Foster's jump to the small screen by starring in "Bunheads," where she played a Las Vegas showgirl who teaches ballet in a small town. The show, which aired on ABC Family, only lasted one season before getting canceled by the network.
"I was devastated," Foster said. "I really loved, loved doing that show. The people involved and the character I played — It was an amazing opportunity. I knew that we were a long shot to be picked up. I was so grateful for the outpouring of love and support we got on the show. I couldn't have asked for a better first foray into television. I really have no regrets. Do I wish I could still be doing it? Of course I do. I loved it."
After tackling the stage and small screen, it seems only natural that Foster would take on movies. The dark comedy "Gravy" is set to be released in theaters in December. Other than that, not too many people know the details of the movie. Luckily, Foster was willing to share.
"I read the script and it was written by James Roday, who is a brilliant writer and actor," Foster said. "When I read the script, I said I have to be in this movie! It's a crazy, quirky, culty black comedy/horror film about cannibalism. You know, just your typical day. I thought that would be an interesting thing to be a part of. It was just a blast to film. I haven't seen it yet, but it was definitely unlike anything I've done before. It is a quirky, weird-ass movie and I absolutely loved doing it."
In the meantime, audiences can see Foster doing what she does best — singing and performing on stage.
"I think they can expect to see an intimate show," Foster said. "It's really like behind the false eyelashes, behind the sequins … it's just very simple and … a way for me to show audiences who I am as a human being, as a person, as a performer and as an artist."

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
"Nice shot" said the other disc golfer in the group....... doink the disc hits a tree.
Now the person that threw the shot says "You niced me!"
And tries to blame you for the shot....
A fallacy, but too many disc golfers will use whatever excuse they can not to take credit for their imperfect shot......
Happens to you?
Views: 302
I won't say it most of the time it happens, but I agree fully. I don't want anyone talking while my disc is moving. I want all my senses paying attention to the subtleties of my discs flight/roll patterns. For sure don't talk while my disc is in the air if the shot is blind, if I am heading towards a hazard, or especially during glo golf. I will most definitely say something if it's during glo.
i think this disc/dye is rad
Sick-tight disc!!!
Its superstitious crap I reckon. If i say "Nice throw" it means I think its a nice throw. Period.
Theres no ill will or malice, i'm not trying to jinx another players throw, and I can't be blamed for the disc hitting a tree. Isn't that the throwers fault?
We do it all the time and if anyone takes it seriously, we throw their discs away and make them walk home.
Just Wait Till the Disc Stops Flying !!!!!!
Really?!? You can't even watch a disc while someone is talking? That is being way too picky about expecting other people to conform to your silly superstitions.
I always say, Nice shot, But I always say that I can hit a bigger tree then that.

Reception Stations
First impressions are important when it comes to meeting people – but also when it comes to meeting other companies! Just as your homepage of a website gives the world a taste of who you are, your reception area does the same thing in the real world. Make sure your reception furniture tells your customers and business associates who you really are.
The experience that customers have in your office reception area creates their initial first impression, which you hope makes them want to come back again and again. A reception area needs to be more than just chairs in order to encompass your office as well as giving your customers a comfortable place to wait.
A Reception Area with Style
The first thing to keep in mind when designing your office reception area is your current image. People should be able to get a feel for what your company does right when they walk in the front door. A great way to do this is to showcase some products and branding in the main area. Consider including accessories on your L shaped reception desk that fit in with what your company does. Or, incorporate a color scheme that is in line with your current branding. All of these ways will help ensure that your reception area is more than just a run-of-the-mill reception station.
Another point to keep in mind is that this area will get a lot of visitors walking through it, so it's important to get durable reception desks that can withstand use. At Arnold's, our furniture is guaranteed to last. Let our team help you find the perfect piece of reception furniture to start your striking new reception area. Whether you want a classic or modern reception desk, or an L shaped reception desk, we have all the options. Contact us today and find the perfect reception furniture for your space.

"I chose the dual degree partnership between Le Moyne College and St. Joseph's College of Nursing because I wanted to be the best nurse that I could possibly be and, in my opinion, that program offered the best opportunity for me to achieve that goal. The faculty, curriculum and atmosphere that this Jesuit college offers is a one-of-a-kind." Best Part of Being a Dolphin … "I have really learned who I am. I thought I knew who I was and how I was supposed to think when I graduated from high school, but after my four years at Le Moyne, I think differently. At Le Moyne, not only did I take nursing classes, but I took classes in religion, philosophy, English and literature, world civilization, sociology and psychology.

Sauber produced a much improved display in Hungary this weekend, but their 2014 points drought continued...
Sauber produced a much improved display in Hungary this weekend, but their 2014 points drought continued.
Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez have now gone 11 races without points, which is the longest the Hinwil-based outfit have gone without finishing inside the top 10.
The team, though, had arguably their best weekend this season as both Sutil and Gutierrez made it through to Q2 while the latter was running in the points before he was forced to retire.
Sutil, who is rumoured to be close to losing his race seat, saw the chequered flag but he finished 0.889 behind Jenson Button in 10th place.
"Finishing in P11 was very close to gaining one point. It was not an easy race, especially at the beginning with the difficult weather conditions and the two safety car periods," the German said.
"During the first safety car period we made our first pit stop. When I came to the box I had to wait as Esteban had not finished yet. I did lose some time, but I was fighting back.
"At the end I finished the race in 11th. In the corners I was faster than Jenson (Button), but I could not overtake him as he did not make any mistakes and drove away on the straights. However, it was a positive day as we came closer to the teams in front of us, and this is what counts."
Team principal Monisha Kaltenborn was pleased with the way the team performed over the weekend.
"This was a good performance by the whole team that was unfortunately not rewarded," she said. "Esteban was driving strongly, and it's really frustrating that we had a problem with the Energy Recovery System, which forced him to retire.
"Adrian also drove strongly, but unfortunately didn't manage to gain the decisive position on track. The whole team delivered an impeccable performance under very difficult circumstances."

A Fort Wayne man pleaded guilty this week to sexually assaulting a drunken woman during a New Year's Eve party Jan. 1, 2012.
Charles D. Burrage, 19, admitted to a single count of rape, according to paperwork filed Thursday in Allen Superior Court. Prosecutors dropped a charge of criminal deviate conduct in the plea deal, which calls for Burrage to serve two years of an eight-year prison sentence, plus four years of probation.
According to court documents, Burrage approached the woman in the early hours of Jan. 1 during a party at a home on Eagle Crest Trail. At the time, the woman was throwing up in the bathroom because she had too much to drink, the documents said.
The woman told police that Burrage came into the bathroom, shut off the light and started touching her, the documents said. Even though the woman protested, Burrage allegedly touched her genitals and pushed her onto her back, the documents said.
The woman told police that she began to cry and said "please don't" as Burrage allegedly took off his pants and sexually assaulted her. According to the woman's testimony, Burrage abruptly stopped and got dressed when another partygoer knocked on the door. Fort Wayne Police arrived at the scene after someone reported a rape.
During interviews with police, Burrage at first denied having sex with the woman but later changed his story to say he had touched her genitals and perhaps kissed her once, the documents said.
Samples taken from Burrage and woman indicated the possibility that some of their DNA was found on one another, the documents said.

It is hard to imagine that a few years ago, handbag designer, Reese Li, was wearing combat boots and issuing orders to a platoon of 40 soldiers. These days, this former Army veteran is more likely to be found in an off-beat fabric store searching for hip fabric for her newest baby bags rather than running in military formation. Yes, Reese Li has traded in her ruck sacks for diaper bags and is fast becoming a popular designer with a loyal online following.
"I never imagined that I would be running my own business" says Reese who is a first born generation American of Chinese immigrants. Although I went to business school, I always pictured myself working on Wall Street, not sewing away in my home studio." Reese graduated cum laude with a B.S. in business administration from Boston University where she was also an R.O.T.C. (Reserve Officer Training Corps) scholarship recipient. After college, she was commissioned into the U.S. Army where she served as a Quartermaster Officer. She and her husband, her college sweetheart, were stationed in Savannah, Georgia for 4 years and eventually settled in Alexandria, Virginia where they now live with their 2 small children.
Reese's business was born out of her frustration at not being able to find the "perfect diaper bag". Everything she saw in stores was "too big, too ugly, or it didn't have enough pockets". Plus, she was tired of carrying the same generic black bag she had used for years. After the birth of her second child, she sat down one day to design a fashionable yet functional baby bag. "I wanted to make a diaper bag that didn't look like a typical diaper bag. Something that you'd love to carry around whether you had a baby or not." Armed with some fabric remnants and busy at her sewing machine for a few hours, she stitched up her first bag and viola! – Reese Li Baby was born.
Fanciful fabric combinations and innovative pocket designs have now become the signature elements of every Reese Li Baby bag. In October 2002, she began selling her unique baby bags on the popular internet auction site, eBay. Her bags were an instant hit with mommies all over the country and within months, she qualified to join the coveted eBay Power Sellers group. Soon after, baby boutique stores and online retailers clamoured to carry her line of diaper bags.
Highly successful, Reese Li has caught the eye of Lifetime Magazine and will be featured in their February 2004 issue for her unique product and smart business sense.

The thought of sexual assaults, or rape, might conjure an image of a stranger jumping out of a shadowy place and attacking someone. But it's not only strangers who rape. About half of all people who are raped know the person who attacked them.
When forced sex occurs between two people who already know each other, it's known as date rape or acquaintance rape. Date rape most often happens to females, but guys can be raped too.
Even though most friendships and acquaintances never lead to violence, it's important for kids and teens to be aware of date rape and learn how to stay safe.
Here are some important facts about date rape that you can share with your preteen or teen:
Alcohol may be involved in rapes. Drinking can loosen inhibitions, dull common sense, and — for some people — allow aggressive tendencies to surface.
Drugs also can play a role. You might have heard about "date rape" drugs like rohypnol ("roofies"), gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), and ketamine. Drugs like these can easily be mixed in drinks to make somebody lose consciousness and forget things that happen. People who have been given these drugs report feeling paralyzed, having blurred vision, and lack of memory. Even worse, mixing these drugs with alcohol can be dangerous and possibly fatal.
The best defense against date rape is to try to prevent it whenever possible. Encourage your kids to follow these rules:
Unfortunately, even if your teen takes every precaution, date rape can still happen. If your child is the victim of date rape, it's important to seek medical care. Medical care is not only crucial to a person's health and safety, but also to provide documentation in the event of a criminal investigation.
Here are some guidelines:
Many medical facilities have people who are trained to take care of someone whose been raped, such as a forensic nurse examiner (FNE) or sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE). Depending on the age of the child and the circumstances, the exam may include checking for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and internal injuries, testing to see whether the person was drugged, and checking for samples of the rapist's skin, hair, nails, or body fluids. It's best to get this done right away, but doctors can gather evidence several days after a rape. In most areas, health care workers are obligated to share this information with the police.
Providing emotional care and support is also important. It can be hard for teens to think or talk about something as personal as being raped by someone you know. But talking with a trained rape crisis counselor or other mental health professional can give your teen the right emotional attention, care, and support to begin the healing process. Working things through can help prevent lingering problems later on.
Rape counselors can also work with parents and loved ones to help them deal with their own feelings about what happened.
It can be hard to help a child who's keeping a secret from you. Preteens and teens often turn to their friends to discuss deeply personal issues — and, unfortunately, something as serious as rape is no exception. In fact, some states have privacy laws that don't require parents to be notified if a teenager under age 18 has called a rape crisis center or visited a clinic for evaluation.
But even if your child doesn't confide in you, there are some signs that could mean your child is struggling emotionally — whether due to date rape or something else — and needs your help. For example, your child might:
If you see symptoms like these, reach out and let your daughter or son know that you're always available to listen, no matter what. If your child still won't open up and you continue to suspect some kind of trauma or distress, seek a therapist's help to get to the root of the problem.
