Pain has a high impact on the quality of life of many cancer patients. In light of the extremely subjective nature of pain, patient self-assessment is vital to guiding pain management. It has been well established that more frequent assessment of pain provides increased validity in pain assessment; however, the optimal schedule and method of pain assessment has not been established. The current study describes patient compliance using a high-frequency, highly detailed pain assessment tool.
Less than one-quarter of patients were fully compliant with the pain assessment in this study, with over one-third of assessment forms going completely unfilled. Without this valuable information regarding patient pain, clinicians' ability to adequately manage pain is considerably limited. Importantly, this article identifies several barriers to compliance that may be addressed. Psychological barriers, including forgetting to complete the assessment form and depression, can be addressed with active intervention. In addition, patients can be educated to complete forms even when they feel no pain, as information regarding lack of pain is as valuable to the health care provider as the presence of pain. Additional research is needed regarding interventions to improve compliance in pain self-assessment.

Typical actually means "of a particular type" but that particular type may not be difficult. What do you people think?

Typical does not mean difficult. If something — at task, say, like icing a cake — is usually easy, it would be typical for it to be easy. Difficult, however, would never mean easy.
Typical means
Those qualities might be difficulty, easiness, awkwardness, oddness, friendliness, whatever: the point is, they would be representative of a type.
No, they don't mean the same thing.
People may however use "typical" to express dissatisfaction with something. For example:
"Typical Jim, he's always late"
"Typical, I knew I was going to fall into that cake, my day is ruined".
As others have mentioned, "typical" does not mean "difficult". There are no common English idioms where this is the case, either.
But I wonder if the people who "usually" use this word are not actually just mispronouncing "difficult". Or possibly you are mis-hearing "difficult" as "typical". There are some common consonant mutations involved d --> t, f --> p, possibly elision of the final "t". I once had Tibetan Buddhist monk as a teacher, and I can imagine him pronouncing "difficult" this way.

Thursday morning Butte County Search and Rescue launched a search for two snowmobilers reported missing Wednesday.
Fortunately the story had a happy ending. The missing snowmobilers were found safe Thursday morning around 11:30 a.m.. Tyler Marr, 19, and Shaylee Heinke, 17, both of Magalia, were not injured.
The man who found them has become somewhat of a local legend. Thor Miller lives in Stirling City, and often heads out into the snowy landscape to search for people who go missing in the rugged area around Inskip.
Butte County Search and Rescue was called in Thursday morning to help. But before they could find the missing pair, Thor had already tracked them down and the search was called off.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office said a group of six people had been out snowmobiling in the Inskip area Wednesday. But Marr and Heinke became separated from the group and went missing. The other four and their families searched for the missing pair but failed to locate them.
Thursday morning, volunteers with Butte County Search and Rescue packed up snowmobiles and gear at their headquarters in Chico before heading up to the search area.
Afterward, a smiling Heinke called Thor "her hero."
Reporter Jerry Olenyn talked with Thor and the two teens and will have the story of their rescue tonight on KRCR News Channel 7.

PARSHALL— Morgan Gulch is usually quiet apart from the undulating of nearby Williams Creek. But since last week, the gully clamors with roaring chainsaws and thumping axes. The campground is crammed with white BLM vehicles and roughly two dozen colorful tents. Workers outfitted with hard hats, chainsaw chaps and sturdy shoes are spread across a long, steep ridgeline.
This summer, Grand County is serving as a staging ground for veterans and young adults seeking hands-on training in public lands management.
The trainees range from 21-35 years old. They come from as far east as Pennsylvania and New York, as far west as California and Washington, and as near as Fort Collins. Half are returning veterans.
Recruited through the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, they'll work with the Bureau of Land Management to remove hazardous beetle-kill trees that can fuel future wildfires. Their reasons for joining the program vary. Some are exploring careers in forestry and fire management. Some are hoping to catch the BLM's eye for more permanent employment. Some are looking for summer adventure and a chance to explore the West.
But the greatest allure comes from guaranteed seasonal work.
Clearing a career path
This year, the Youth Corps amped up its efforts to recruit returning veterans, who make up half of the 20-person team. The program is part of the Veteran Green Corps, a nationwide initiative with federal public lands agencies promoting careers in conservation. It's also the first year trainees will learn basic skills to help fight wildland fires on an as-needed basis.
"I think it's a great deal. What it does is allows them to get an understanding of what, exactly, wildland fire is, to find out if it's what they want to do," said Kevin Thompson, fire management specialist at the BLM's Kremmling office.
According to Mark Wertheimer, associate director at Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, another objective Veteran Green Corps is to assimilate veterans back into civilian life.
"The main goal is to help military veterans find employment in general, and the next step is for them to transition to long-term employment with the public lands agencies," Wertheimer said.
The recruits' training began on June 3 at Morgan Gulch campground, located about 45 minutes south of Parshall.
Fresh perspective
Tara Earl, 31, served in the army driving trucks and hauling fuel in Iraq for seven years. She then moved to Logan, Utah to study sociology and criminology at Utah State University. After graduating last spring, Earl saw Veteran Green Corps fire training as an opportunity.
"It was a quick, fast job right of college," said Earl, the only female recruit. "I get to come out, make some money, then have a couple months when I get home to find the job I want."
The recruits earn free meals and $335 a week while doing pine-beetle tree mitigation. By July, training in firefighting will be complete. If called to help fight fires, the pay jumps to as much as $17.40 an hour. They sleep in tents and camp all summer, even during weekends off.
"I love the outdoors, I was going to be in the mountains all summer anyway. Now I get to learn a trade and make some money," said Chris Benton, 30, an army veteran enrolled in environmental studies at the University of Colorado. "Everyone should do it. Who needs showers?"
Although fire mitigation work requires several hours of hands-on training, the veterans have skills they've acquired through their military service that are directly applicable to the job. They've learned perseverance and determination. They know how to work as a team. They have physical endurance. They can adapt well to outdoor environments and variable weather. They understand hazard management.
"It helps you get away from the normal pulls of day-to-day society, because you've done it before on a longer and larger scale," said Brian Kotzot, 31, who worked as an army scout for seven years. "It's not easier, but it's a fraction of it, I'd say. It's still hard, still tough, but it's not exactly a year away in a foreign country."
The BLM first used veterans on chainsaw crews last year, but the pilot program had only three recruits. This year, Rocky Mountain Youth Corps focused on bringing in more veterans by promoting the opportunity on college campuses, through social media, via word-of-mouth and with Denver-based Veteran Green Jobs.
Mutual benefits
According to Thompson, young veterans' desire for vocational experience and the BLM's need for manpower make the program mutually beneficial.
Removal of beetle-killed trees is time-consuming and dangerous. The brittle dead wood easily snaps, falling in unpredictable directions. Trees can rot from the inside and collapse unexpectedly. Workers must first scout a tree that presents minimal danger. They look for a clear fall line, then knock at the wood to determine its soundness. They create an escape route by removing stumps and debris. They then gently whittle the tree with back cuts and front cuts, working to control the direction of the tree's fall. As the tree shakes and begins to "talk," the worker shouts a warning, then announces when the area is clear. The process can take up to ten minutes.
"I've never been on a chainsaw in my life before, so this is all very foreign to me. I'm learning a lot every day," said Tony Willey, 24, a former marine from Las Vegas.
On a chainsaw training day on Thursday, June 6, each recruit was required to fell at least three trees, around a team total of 75 for the day. The number is underwhelming when looking at the staggering amount of grey, needleless lodgepole stands spanning down the small ridge.
According to Thompson, Morgan Gulch became an important BLM site for removing hazardous vegetative fuels because of a ranch and subdivision below and a house on the next ridge over. A wildfire in the area could spread quickly, fueled by thousands of dead pines, and ravage the nearby residential properties.
After training in Morgan Gulch, the recruits will move on to sites near Carbondale, Meeker and Independence Mountain, mitigating campsites and roadsides. Most also hope to also assist with wildfires come July.
Conservation programs through Rocky Mountain Youth Corps have been wildly popular. For civilian programs, Wertheimer estimates they receive four applications for each position. For this year's veteran program, they received about 25 applicants. They hope to expand the program into other agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service in coming years.
Whether the BLM continues the program into future seasons depends on funding. But Wertheimer said that as long as there's a need, Rocky Mountain Youth Corps will continue building opportunities.
"Even if funding fades in coming years, we'll still be interested in serving our military veterans," he said.
Once this year's season ends, most of the veteran and civilian recruits will return to complete college programs in the fall. But some, like Tara Earl, will stay on as long as they're needed or until the snow flies.
"I'll go back to Logan, then do some job searching, do something with my degree, but this is always open," she said. "Until you find what you want, do what's fun and what pays the bills."

Event Information
More than 95% of Americans support organ, tissue and eye donation. In Michigan, only 39% of adults have joined the state's donor registry, far lower than the 45% average nationwide. That discrepancy is largely due to state residents not knowing how to properly join the Registry. Michigan Libraries for Life helps to address that informational need. Visit any of the GVSU libraires on Oct. 9 & 10 between 10:30am-4:30pm to sign up to be an organ donor.

The January 2009 issue of Budget & Tax News leads with (bad) news about the federal deficit and (largely good) news about state and local ballot measures that helped taxpayers keep control of their pocketbooks.
Among this issue's other top stories:
* A federal judge is threatening to hold California officials in contempt of court unless they turn over $8 billion to construct seven new prison hospitals—while the state is already struggling with an $11 billion-plus deficit.
* Hawaii has shut down its free "universal" health care program for children after just seven months. Enrollment had skyrocketed as parents took their children out of a private health plan.
* Economists and market analysts are suggesting private alternatives to government takeovers of troubled loans, offering better risk reduction, more upside potential for lenders and borrowers alike, and a lower burden on taxpayers.
* In another example of growing public-private transportation partnerships, the state of Florida has chosen a Spanish company to design, build, and operate an interstate highway toll expansion to cut traffic congestion in Broward County.
* An undiagnosed and still-untreated cause of the mortgage crisis is overzealous land-use regulations in many big metro areas across the nation.

6 Nobodies Who Stumbled Into World Changing Discoveries
Nobody thinks that all of the world's ancient treasures are discovered by whip-toting adventurers swinging around caves. But we do assume that they're at least found by some kind of trained professionals.
Not always. Some of the greatest historical finds have been stumbled across by random dudes just wandering around the neighborhood. Like ...
#6. The Dead Sea Scrolls
In 1947, a Bedouin goat herder and his cousin decided to take a day off from shepherding to wander around some creepy old caves near the coast of the Dead Sea. Instead of the absolutely nothing you would usually expect to find in a cave underneath the desert, the shepherds accidentally found themselves in a Lara Croft level. The caves were full of weird old pottery artifacts, and if anyone knows anything about caves with old artifacts in them, it's that there's going to be treasure, and probably booby traps that can only be disarmed by riddles or very precise jumps.
How do you even get here without a whip?
Disappointingly, the pottery only contained a bunch of old scrolls. After momentarily checking to see if they were maps to treasure, the shepherds took them anyway and carefully preserved the scrolls via the tried and true method of tying them to a tent pole ... until they found a dealer who was interested in buying them for around 30 bucks. And that was basically that. Everybody learned a valuable lesson about expecting to find anything valuable in a bunch of desert caves.
"We should have just used it for toilet paper. Do you have any idea how expensive that is in the desert?"
The hunks of old parchment went back and forth between several unimpressed village folk, some of whom probably used them as napkins or dishrags, before they were sold to someone who actually figured out what he was looking at: the oldest goddamned existing copy of the Bible. And we're talking the oldest by a thousand years. We now call them the Dead Sea Scrolls, and they are commonly regarded as the most important historical discovery of the 20th century.
Oh, and they also include appendices to the Bible, or a kind of director's cut that didn't make it into the version in your hotel room nightstand. These are of interest to Bible scholars because they clarify a few things that the modern Bible leaves ambiguous -- most notably why the hell God told Abraham to kill his son, just to stay his hand at the last second. According to the scrolls, it was due to a bet God made with the devil, which God totally won.
"God actually has a pretty serious gambling problem."
Most importantly, though, the Dead Sea Scrolls provided Bible scholars with the ability to compare the modern Bible to the original version. The oldest version of the Bible prior to this discovery, the Leningrad Codex, was written in A.D. 1008, the result of 1,000 years' worth of Chinese whispers. Nevertheless, the scrolls show the modern Bible to be surprisingly accurate, or at least they have yet to reveal any mind-blowing errors, like that Jesus was actually a dog or something.
To this day, the goat herders who found the things probably still think the guy who bought them was a sucker for forking over 30 bucks.
"Seriously, guys, the money is shit. Don't waste your time."
#5. The Venus de Milo
In 1820, a curious farmer named Yorgos Kentrotas went exploring around the ruined city of Milos, although he should probably have been herding sheep or something (nobody claimed he was a particularly good farmer). Under a pile of rubble, he found an ancient Greek statue, right where Athenian invaders had left it around 2,400 years earlier. He figured the marble statue of a woman might be worth something, even though it was missing both of its arms.
"Look! Behind that useless rubble. Useful rubble!"
Yes, he had stumbled across the Venus de Milo, now one of the most famous statues in the world (though you may only know it as "that one without the arms"). Unlike pieces such as Michelangelo's David, which since its creation has enjoyed a life of luxury in various palaces and museums around the world, the Venus de Milo spent most of its life crammed down in the mud, until its discovery by that farmer.
Figuring that the statue didn't go well with the general decor in his farmhouse, Kentrotas decided to sell it to a French naval officer who was wandering around the area. The French thought that it would look really nice in the Louvre along with a bunch of other stuff ripped off from foreign countries, so they agreed to buy it. But they dragged their feet on getting the paperwork in order, and Kentrotas had a bunch of sheep that weren't herding themselves, so he went ahead and sold it to the Turks behind the French's backs.
They should have paid attention to his Craigslist ad.
When the French returned and saw the statue being loaded onto a ship bound for Constantinople, they threw a tantrum and persuaded the local authorities to annul the sale and have it shipped to Paris. Apparently, not only did the Turkish ambassador have the Greek authorities whipped for this insult, but the Turkish sultan in turn had the ambassador executed.
Meanwhile, the Venus de Milo wound up in the Louvre, where it has been ever since. You have to wonder if her arms aren't still lying back under the rubble somewhere.
Centuries with no bra, and she's still got a great rack.
#4. An Entire Roman City
Imagine digging a hole in your backyard to make space for a swimming pool and suddenly finding yourself in a first-century Roman village. No, you haven't dug yourself a time hole. But this is what you might have experienced if you'd been on a construction team in Italy in 1738.
"Hey! This isn't where we're supposed to bury the bodies."
In that year, the king of Spain commissioned some workmen to build him a summer palace in Naples. After picking a nice spot near the beach, the excavations came to an abrupt and confusing end when they started digging up thousands of paintings of dicks. Unwittingly, they had stumbled upon Pompeii, sex capital of ancient Rome.
It's about to get slightly less work safe up in here.
The excavation site was actually ground zero of a volcanic eruption from when Mount Vesuvius exploded in A.D. 79. Pompeii happened to be directly in the path of a 900-degree ash cloud of searing death, which blanketed the city in less time than it took its inhabitants to scream. But unlike some of the less fortunate towns around it, Pompeii wasn't touched by lava flows. The town was buried -- and preserved -- by the ash, which was essentially like freezing it in carbonite.
It was bad for the people who lived there, but good for historians. Few Roman works of art survived the ages, so it's all thanks to Mount Vesuvius killing thousands of people and sealing Pompeii up tight that we have any idea what the Romans liked to decorate their houses with. And it turns out it was dicks.
get directly down
Of course.
There were 35 brothels in Pompeii (the same as the number of bakeries), and the whole town was decorated with images of people boning. Frescoes depicting more sex positions than the Kama Sutra (including the only known Roman depiction of cunnilingus) cover the town like neon signs cover Vegas. But, porn obsession aside, what historians learned from Pompeii is that the ancient Romans, in a lot of ways, were just like us. The town was covered in political propaganda for an upcoming election (which, for obvious reasons, was abruptly cancelled), as well as advertisements and regular childish graffiti. Scrawled on the walls were personal tags, jokes and occasional gems of advice, such as "The one who buggers a fire burns his penis." You can't beat that wisdom.
Who knows what other depraved nuggets of enlightenment were lost forever.
This may not have been the first time someone accidentally came across the buried city, by the way. There is a story that, in 1599, an architect working on a project in the area dug up some sexually explicit frescoes. After an awkward few moments of contemplation, he buried them again, backed away slowly and tried to forget what had happened. You can't be too careful about potentially awakening a bunch of vengeful cock spirits.

They pick up a man in the "old country", fly him to America (NY?), and use him as executioner in a gangland murder. Then they fly him back to his Italian vilage.
There's an Italian movie of the 60s or maybe even the late 50s (it's in b/w) where the story revolves around such a scheme.
Except that the main character lives in Milano where he works as a middle manager in some big factory. The abduction, his shipping (in a wooden box aboard a cargo plane!) to NYC, his killing some mafia boss in a barber shop and his return happen in a less then 24 hours span while he was summer vacationing in Sicily with his family at some relatives house.
In order to cover his trip abroad from his family, the Sicilian relatives organize a fake hunting from dawn to sunset.
Funny that I remember all these details, but I can recall neither the movie title, nor the name of the actor playing the main character which I'm sure was one of the leading Italian movie stars of the time.
Ok, I made some research and found the movie!
The movie title is "Mafioso", starring Alberto Sordi and with the direction of Alberto Lattuada. It came out in 1962 in Italy, but was distributed only two years later in the U.S.
Here's the Wiki page of the movie. Those who can read Italian may switch to the somewhat more detailed Italian version.
The Sopranos have an episode like this. The abduction element doesn't fit though.
Tony has two cousins flown over to do a hit on Rusty Millio. They kill Rusty in his driveway and fly straight back

My last batch was a strong ale/winter 1.090 wlp002 english ale yeast brewed on 11/20 (two weeks ago). it has been in the fridge crash cooling for about 72 hours. this will be my first attempt at fermenting on an old yeast cake. I'm assuming the yeast needs to be warmed up from fridge temp? I'm brewing today and could use a few pointers.
Rack the beer off the primary and let it sit for an hour or two to adjust to the temp of the beer you are going to pour over it. A 1.090 beer probably produces a gigantic cake, so you should probably pour some of it out, or you'll be massively over-pitching. Also, the typical advice is to brew weaker beers, and pitch progressively stronger ones onto the cake. I'd still use this cake for your new brew, but keep that in mind for the next time you are going to re-use yeast from primary.
I would not directly reuse the yeast from a 1.090 batch. After fermenting an OG that high, the yeast is likely "tired out" and weak. The ROT (Rule of thumb) is not to reuse yeast from a fermentation over 1.060. I push that to 1.070, but higher than that is not a good idea. You could wash the yeast and use some to make a new starter, but just pitching on the yeast from a 1.090 batch is asking for problems.

One week.
It doesn't seem like a very long time, but think of all that can unfold. Think of the number of armed robberies, assaults, domestic violence incidents, abuse reports and shootings we might tell you about in a given week. Kansas authorities continue searching for a man they believe injured a woman and killed two others in a domestic-related shooting earlier this month. Last week, we reported all-pro NFL running back Adrian Peterson's two-year-old son was killed, allegedly at the hands of an abuser.
Imagine one week without any such reports. That's seven days; 168 hours; 10,080 minutes; 604,800 seconds. Without violence.
The YWCA Week Without Violence encourages you to envision such a world. The annual event is this week. It's stated goal is to raise awareness, specifically of sexual and domestice violence in our communities, and how we all play a role in stopping it. I also prefer to take a wider view, striving to stop all violent crime in our communities.
Violence can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Criminals who want to find a victim badly enough will find a way to do do, but it is encumbent upon all of us to do all that we can to lesson the chance we or our neighbors will become that victim.
The Adrian Peterson situation certainly illustrates how no one is immune from having violence touch their lives. While we mourn the tragic loss of his son, let's also consider this: According to the Child Welfare League of American, in 2010, Kansas had 32,377 referrals for child abuse and neglect, 17,379 of which were referred for investigation.
From those numbers, 1,552 Kansas children were abused or neglected - 22.3% neglected, 22.3% physically abused, 34.6 percent sexually abused. Six of those children died.
It doesn't stop there. The Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence says nearly one in five women will be raped in their lifetime. In 2007, 10.1% of adult females in Kansas reported domestic violence victimization - that's 106,419 victims.
Need more numbers? The Kansas Bureau of Investigation's 2012 crime statistics report shows 10,207 violent crime offenses reported in Kansas last year. Among those were 91 murders; 1,067 rapes; and 7,539 aggravated assaults/batteries.
Odds are that violence has affected someone you know. Survivors of violence don't wear big, bright identifying badges, but their faces are those of your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
Changing those numbers involves all of us. We cannot hide behind closed doors and hope the criminals will simply bother someone else. For starters, living in fear is no way to live, but, also, the numbers show that often the violence is happening behind those closed doors.
Imagine if, for at least one week, it didn't.
The YWCA of Topeka will hold its annual March to End Domestic Violence at noon Friday. It leaves from the south side of the Statehouse and marches to the YWCA building at SW 12th and Van Buren. For details about the Week Without Violence, visit www.ywcatopeka.org.

DETROIT (MyFox Detroit) – Detroit Police have been working to come up with a long range strategy to reduce fear and prevent violent crime. Thursday, the department revealed results from a pilot program tested in one area of the city.
Home invasions, assaults, critical shootings — violent crime in Detroit have escalated in 2012. Can the problem be fixed?
An attempted answer to that question was to implement a program called "Broken Windows" in the Grandmont-Rosedale neighborhood. The premise of the program developed by the Manhattan Institute of Public Policy relies on citizens getting more involved.
At a meeting to check on the status of the program was implemented a few months ago, Inspector Vicki Youst was asked whether there has been any progress catching individuals suspected of robbing North Rosedale residents while they were doing yard work.
"The pattern was essentially that people were doing yard work, they were in their driveway, that someone was coming up and pulling off gold chains or jewelry from the individuals. We have made some gun-related, firearm-related and robbery-related arrests in this immediate area, and because we have not seen that modus operandi reappear, at this point I'm cautiously optimistic that we have caught the people responsible."
Detroit Police released stats showing improvement in decreasing the number of home invasions in the Grandmont-Rosedale community — a 32 percent reduction in home invasions in the last 120 days.
"This is simply fantastic. This is how you build a safe community," said Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee.
This area is strong on neighborhood watch and citizens' CB radio patrol.
George Kelling of the "Broken Windows" program attended the meeting. He reiterated the premise of asking police and neighborhoods to crack down together on all crimes, even smaller crime in an effort to keep more serious crimes from developing.
"As you heard in the presentations, some of these criminals are very, very busy. They're stealing tires. They're carrying guns, and they settle disputes by shooting each other, and so, yes, I think 'Broken Windows' can help." says Kelling.
Godbee says this program will go from a 'pilot phase' to full implementation starting soon in northwest Detroit.

Homestead boys lead start to finish in winning tournament opener over KT
Second-year Homestead boys basketball coach Marquis Hines wants to emphasis defense this season with his still young squad and it was clear from the start Friday night that the team got the message with an effective 58-40 win over Kenosha Tremper in the semifinals of the Highlanders' own tournament.
"I think overall we did pretty good," he said. "We're still young and we still need work on eliminating turnovers and boxing out but it was a good win."
We've made defense our number one thing this year. We've put special emphasis on it and we want to become solid as a unit with it night in and night out."
With the victory, the Highlanders advance to the championship game of the tournament Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against West Allis Central, which defeated Madison West in the other semifinal.
"That's going to be a heck of a challenge for us," said Hines.» Read Full Article

Ex-Whitefish Bay barber faces child porn charges
A former Whitefish Bay barber has been indicted on numerous child pornography charges after authorities say he tried to frame his barbershop's landlord by mailing a disk of kiddie porn images to WITI-TV (Channel 6).
David P. Foley, who ran the Sport N Cuts barbershop at 402 E. Silver Spring Drive in Whitefish Bay, faces six federal child porn counts, in addition to five state counts of felony bail-jumping. A federal grand jury indicted Foley on Wednesday after a 15-month criminal investigation .
Foley of Shorewood was charged with six federal counts, including producing, distributing and possessing child pornography, and transporting an underage boy across a state line for the purpose of sex. Foley is accused of taking an unnamed teenage boy to the Mall of America in Minnesota and sexually assaulting him in their hotel room during the trip.
Foley is serving time in a Wisconsin prison for identity theft in an unrelated case.
According to court records, authorities were tipped to Foley in August 2010 by a WITI-TV (Channel 6) news reporter who'd been sent a DVD with images and videos of child pornography and labeled with the name of a Whitefish Bay businessman. Authorities later determined the businessman was owed more than $50,000 in back rent by Foley.» Read Full Article

New details released in crash that killed two Nicolet students
The two Nicolet High School students who died in a car crash early Saturday appear to have sneaked out of their homes without their parents' knowledge shortly before the crash, according to a report by the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office released Monday.
The report made no mention of toxicology reports, which are pending.
According to the report:
Driver Halee Ludowise-Fischer and Jennifer Geren, both 15, were driving east on W. Good Hope Road in Ludowise-Fischer's mother's 2009 Mitsubishi shortly before 1 a.m. when a River Hills police officer noticed a taillight on the vehicle was out. He activated his lights and tried to pull the car over, but the driver sped off, running through two traffic lights. The officer turned off his lights and stopped the chase.
Shortly after, he saw sparks flying in the air when the girls' car struck a transformer.» Read Full Article
Two Nicolet sophomore girls killed in car crash
Two 15-year-old girls who were sophomores at Nicolet High School died early Saturday in a one-car crash in Glendale after River Hills police attempted to stop the car because the taillights weren't on and the young driver fled at a high rate of speed, authorities said.
Halee Ludowise-Fischer of Glendale and Jennifer Geren of Fox Point died in the 1 a.m. crash at W. Good Hope Road and N. Seneca Ave., Glendale Police Lt. Donald Haffner said.
Ludowise-Fischer, who had a learner's permit, was driving her mother's 2009 Mitsubishi, Haffner said. After River Hills police tried to stop her, she sped east on Good Hope Road. Police did not pursue because the taillight violation was minor, Haffner said.
Ludowise-Fischer lost control of the car in Glendale, and the car hit a stop sign and then a utility pole before coming to rest on its side with the roof against a tree about four blocks east of I-43 on Good Hope Road, Haffner said. Both girls died at the scene.
Haffner said there was no evidence of alcohol. An autopsy is routinely done in fatal crashes. Both girls were wearing seat belts, police said.» Read Full Article
Shorewood Sendik's to remodel with village financing
Nehring's Sendik's supermarket, in Shorewood, plans to soon begin a $350,000 remodeling project, financed by a grant and loan from the village.
The $200,000 grant, and $150,000 loan, were unanimously recommended for approval Friday by the Community Development Authority. The Village Board will consider the financing proposal at its Monday meeting.
The funds would pay for a new floor, mechanical systems, furnishings and other upgrades at Sendik's, 4027 N. Oakland Ave. Owners John and Anne Nehring hope to begin the work by mid-January, and have it finished by spring.
The goal is to have the work done by the time the supermarket's parking lot is closed to accommodate a project to develop a new Walgreens, 84 upper-level apartments, and some parking decks.
Once that project is completed, the parking decks will include free spaces for customers of Sendik's and other nearby businesses.» Read Full Article
Survey asks: Should 53092 be linked to Mequon or Thiensville?
Customers in the 53092 ZIP code will be asked their mailing address preference, Mequon or Thiensville, in a survey being mailed to all households.
The United States Postal Service database currently lists Thiensville as the actual city for the ZIP code, with Mequon the default city.
In September the city of Mequon asked the USPS to consider a change, making Mequon the actual city and Thiensville the default city.
Thiensville has gone on record as being opposed to the change.
Mail will continue to be delivered to all addresses in the ZIP code regardless of whether Mequon or Thiensville is written on the envelope, and the Post Office, located at 124 W. Freistadt Road, Thiensville, will continue to be the Thiensville Post Office.» Read Full Article
County Board restores half of NSFD's paramedic supplemental funds
Because the Milwaukee County Board overrode most of County Executive Chris Abele's vetoes of the 2012 budget, the North Shore Fire Department will receive $180,000 of supplemental money for its paramedic program. Abele's budget eliminated a $3 million supplemental payment made to fire departments in the county. Under Abele's budget the North Shore Fire Department would have received no funds for its paramedic program.
The County Board restored half of the funding and decided to follow the distribution formula developed by the Intergovernmental Cooperation Council after earlier considering a formula change.
Although not the $362,000 the department had expected when developing its 2012 budget, Fire Chief Robert Whitaker said today that staff and the union are working on ways to make up the remaining deficit.
Whitaker said he does not anticipate any job losses or layoffs.
Brown Deer voters approve both referendum questions
Brown Deer will move to a two-school campus with an upper school for grades seven through 12 that will have a field house. Voters in the village approved both referendum questions Tuesday.
Question 1, asking approval of an $18 million plan for two schools, passed by a sound 63.22 percent of the votes cast, 1,339 yes to 766 no. That plan includes moving grades K4 through six into the current middle school which will be renovated and repurposed and moving grades seven and eight into the current high school.
An addition will be built on the high school to accommodate the additional grades. The money also provides some funding for outdoor improvements on the large campus, including walking paths.
Question 2, asking for a $4 million field house, a large gym with an indoor track, at the current high school, was also approved by a smaller margin, with 52.03 percent or 1,102 votes for it, 46.13 percent or 977 votes against it.
Dean School will be razed once the other buildings are ready for students.
Glendale's budget down, levy up for 2012
Mayor Jerry Tepper praised the department heads, city staff and all city employees for the efforts that led to a decrease of $66,714 in the city's budget for 2012. Without the hard work put in by the department heads to develop budgets that met the goal of maintaining services without increasing spending and without the cooperation of employees in paying more for their fringe benefits, the Common Council's budget challenge would have been even greater.
The council on Monday adopted an $18,899,972 budget with a tax levy of $12,135,043. The levy is up $77,891, the exact amount of increase in the city's debt service fund levy. Under state law, the city is allowed to increase the levy for debt service.
The tax rate for the city's portion of the taxes will increase to $7.64 per $1,000 of assessed value, up from $6.83 per $1,000 a year ago. However, because of a citywide revaluation of property done this year, the impact on individual property owners will vary.
City Administrator Richard Maslowski said a home valued at $200,000 last year is now valued at $177,400. The city's tax on that house for 2012 would be $1,355, a drop of $10 or 1 percent from the tax of $1,366 last year.
Residential property in the city dropped an average of 10.8 percent in the revaluation. If your house dropped 10.8 percent or more, it is likely the city portion of the tax bill will decrease. If it did not drop that much, the city portion will likely increase.
Brown Deer voters head to polls for school referendum
Voters will go to the polls today to decide on two school district referendum questions.
The first question asks for approval of $18 million that would be used to move students into two schools. The current middle school would be repurposed into a K4 through grade six building while the existing high school would be converted to a school for grades seven to 12. An addition would be built onto the high school as part of the plan.
A second question asks for approval of $4 million for a field house at the high school building instead of the new gym that would be part of the $18 million question.
Polls are open until 8 p.m.
Judge rejects bid to move Mequon murder trial
Port Washington - Ozaukee County Circuit Judge Paul Malloy on Monday rejected a 20-year-old Mequon man's request to move his trial on charges he murdered his parents to another county.
Dennis V. Markov faces two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the April 17 slayings of Victor Markov, 45, and Larissa Markov, 39. The couple was found dead in the garage of their home in the Ville du Parc neighborhood. Each had been shot in the back of the head.
A jury trial is set to begin Jan. 23.
Dennis Markov was at the home when police arrived to conduct a welfare check after Larissa Markov failed to show up for work. He told officers he shot his parents after his father denied his request for $5 in gas money.
Brown Deer police warn of increase in catalytic converter thefts
Over the past three weeks the Brown Deer Police Department and several other area police departments have been investigating numerous theft incidents involving catalytic converters stolen from vehicles. The crimes have all occurred during daylight hours and may have been witnessed by unsuspecting residents.
The suspects are either using cordless power saws or a hack saw to cut the catalytic converter from the exhaust system. It is believed the suspects are able to remove the catalytic converters very quickly. The suspects are selling the converters to scrap yards as the units on older model vehicles contain small amounts of platinum.
In Brown Deer, the thefts have been reported in recent weeks in the 8900 to 9100 block of Park Plaza Court and the 9200 to 9600 blocks of North Green Bay Road
The Brown Deer Police Department is requesting that residents contact police if they observe suspicious behavior, such as individuals crawling under or working under vehicles in area parking lots or driveways.
Mequon-Thiensville schools plan to phase out German instruction
The Mequon-Thiensville school district is planning to phase out German instruction and replace it with an Asian language, says its superintendent.
Superintendent Demond Means said the outlines of the plan were presented to the School Board on Oct. 31, and would be part of the district's budget process for the 2012-'13 school year. The board hasn't taken any votes on the proposal.
The district offers German instruction from seventh grade through high school, and currently has 75 students taking the language, Means said. A district committee is looking at Mandarin Chinese as the replacement language, he said.
As for the phasing out of German, it would start with the elimination of seventh-grade German instruction in the 2012-'13 school year, he said, with current German students allowed to continue taking the language until they graduate from high school. The final year, if that schedule plays out, would be 2016-'17. The district now has one German teacher, Eric Schultz, but Means said he's also certified in social studies.
Helene Ziemer-Loew, executive director of the New Jersey-based American Association of Teachers of German, said though the number of students of German increased in the most recent figures, some school districts are cutting out the language for budgetary reasons. Chinese is often a replacement, she said, partly because the Chinese government subsidizes teachers of Chinese to put in teaching stints at American schools, and that saves money for school districts that place them. In addition, she said, Chinese is popular because of the country's economic ascendancy — though she points out that Germany is also doing well economically.» Read Full Article
Driver says alcohol withdrawal seizure, not drinking, caused crash
The state Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected a Whitefish Bay man's unusual defense to refusing an alcohol test after his arrest for suspected drunken driving.
Michael D. Urben claimed his December 2008 crash resulted from a seizure caused by alcohol withdrawal, and the lingering affects of the seizure left him unable to consciously refuse or consent to a test.
Urben, 37, had crashed near the corner of Lake and Capitol drives in Shorewood around 3:30 p.m. about 15 minutes after he left work as a nuclear medicine specialist. Police thought he was drunk, so they took him in, where he refused a breath or blood test.
"Urben contends that he is a recovering alcoholic who had suffered two alcohol withdrawal
seizures before the accident, and that another alcohol-withdrawal seizure caused the accident. He told the circuit court that he had no recollection of anything in connection with the accident or his interactions with the Shorewood police officers."
At a refusal hearing in September 2010, Urben presented expert testimony about how someone in a "postictal state" after a seizure could appear to be functioning normally yet not be cognizant of their actions.» Read Full Article

Work to begin next month on Shorewood Walgreens, apartment project
Excavation work is to begin in December for a six-story building in Shorewood that will include a new Walgreens, and 84 upper-level apartments.
Developers Mandel Group Inc. and RE Enterprises plan to have the Walgreens completed by January 2013 and the apartments by August 2013, said Robert Monnat, Mandel's chief operating officer.
The new building will be west of N. Oakland Ave. and south of E. Kenmore Place, on the parking lot for Nehring's Sendik's grocery store. The new building will relocate Walgreens from its current location across Kenmore Place.
The project will include two parking decks, one under the apartments and the other to be built just west of Sendik's. They will provide spaces for the apartment residents and residents of a nearby apartment building operated by Katz Properties Inc.
The parking decks also will provide about 150 free parking spaces for daytime customers of Walgreens, Sendik's and other nearby businesses, with the village charging fees for overnight parking.» Read Full Article
Waterford defense stymies Bay, 17-0, in WIAA playoff battle
Two weeks in a row now, the Whitefish Bay football team played in historic WIAA playoff games.
Last Saturday, it beat Brookfield East, 40-21, to advance to level 3 of the playoffs for the first time in their school history. Had the Spartans won that game, they would have made the same claim.
And this Friday night, playing their first home playoff game in over a decade, the Blue Dukes and Waterford (11-1) were both striving to make the WIAA state semifinals for the first time each.
But this time around, it was Waterford who broke through the historic barrier, forcing three Bay interceptions and grinding out first down after first down in a physical 17-0, WIAA Division 2, Level 3 victory.

Chinese business hub planned at Northridge appears dead
A plan to convert the former Northridge Mall into a location for Chinese businesses to sell clothing and other wholesale merchandise, and operate retail outlets, is apparently dead.
The proposal was announced nearly two years ago, in December 2009, by Beijing-based Toward Group, which owns the property north of W. Brown Deer Road and west of N. 76th St.
Toward Group's Milwaukee attorney, Julie Lee, told me this week that the firm has talked with several commercial real estate brokers about listing the Northridge property for sale. Toward has not yet signed a listing agreement, she said.
"At this point, (Toward Group) is considering several different options that include selling the property to an appropriate buyer as well as pursuing development opportunities with other collaborators," Lee said, in an email.
Lee said she didn't know if that meant the plan to develop Northridge as a hub for Chinese businesses has been dropped.» Read Full Article
GT boys v-ball team beats Nicolet to earn first state tourney berth
Just five years into its short up-and-down history, the Germantown boys volleyball team is making its first trip to the WIAA state tournament courtesy of a thrilling 22-25, 25-22, 16-25, 26-24, 15-12 victory over North Shore rival Nicolet Thursday night.
It's a unique group that includes star power of basketball heroes turned volleyball devotees Zak and Jake Showalter, Luke Fischer and Jon Averkamp.
Zak Showalter got the match-winning kill coming out of the middle in the fifth game while the 6-8 Fischer had an almost perfect hit percentage in coming up with 16 kills.
It was the kind of intense action that made it hard to hear in an overflowing Nicolet gym as the North Shore Conference co-champions, which split two matches this season, did battle in their most important contest of the fall.
Even the battle-tested Zak Showalter, who has played hoops before crowds of 6,000 and more, was amazed at the intensity of the scene.» Read Full Article
