You've probably read an article somewhere about the health benefits of chocolate; something about flavonoids or lower cholesterol. Of course, that doesn't mean you can chug back a candy bar and pat yourself on the back. Most of the chocolate products out there today are crammed full of sugar and fat, not to mention milk. Enter Pure Delights chocolates. The proprietor, Chrissy, sent me an email a while ago complimenting me on the blog. A few emails later, I had arranged a trade: my cookbook for some of her handmade chocolates. These are not your average chocolates: organic, fair trade, raw, and vegan. Sweetened with agave, they do not put you in a sugar coma, and the sweetness does not overpower the taste of the chocolate. These are the kind of chocolates that actually do have health benefits. So, if you are in the mood for some chocolate, check out Pure Delights and help support a vegan home business.

Now those sound like MY kind of chocolate!
By the way, your "post a comment" text is so faint at the bottom of your post that I can hardly see it. It's sort of a pale mint-green on a white background. Any chance of changing it for a darker colour?

Hi, My name is Sophia.
Yum! I really want to try raw chocolates. I love chocolate so much, it would be nice to have a slightly healthier version!
Your hot-dogs look great too, I make an awesome one with chipolte BBQ sauce, and some really good coleslaw. (Bobby flay inspired).
I started a new blog at:
I would really love it if visited/commented on my blog.
I would also really like to add you to my blogroll?

I think you are pure evil posting these chocolates!! I tried your cashew pickeas, indian style potatoes with spinach and the chickpea crabcakes so far. Found your site about a week ago, I am so thankful. Everything thus far has been amazing!

I have experienced one form of nirvana, and it is...RAW CACAO shaped by the loving hands of Chrissy. These are truly some of the best chocolates you will experience, without guilt, remorse, or even candida! They are worth the money, and each one goes a long way. So blow off the Starbucks for 2 or 3 days and buy them!

This image of a wind pump near Stellenbosch was captured by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group member psuedoir.
Says psuedoir: "I went all the way to Paarl, thought it would be easier sorting out a tax matter there than in Cape Town. Made a day out of it and took the camera along. Spotted this very hard-working windmill/water pump near Stellenbosch."

Honors for a vicious anti-Semite
On Oct. 24, The Central Recorder, the student newspaper at Central Connecticut State University, reported that when the U.N. General Assembly convened in New York in late September, Professor Ghassan El-Eid of the CCSU Political Science Department brought 12 CCSU students to attend a dinner with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran. In the article, students described Ahmadinejad as "very smart," "not as radical as the Western media portray him," "inclusive," "kind to everyone who asked a question," and someone who "really wants everyone to get along, be respected, and learn." El Eid is quoted as characterizing Ahmadinejad as "a pretty rational leader," whose views may be "controversial" but who is "very careful to support his arguments with facts."
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an anti-Semitic bigot who has denied the Holocaust while repeatedly making clear his intention to carry out a second one:

What Halacha (Issur Doraisia) do we learn out from a Trup and which word is it?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The answer is Geinavas Daas of a Gentile, Which according to the Ritva is a Doraisia. The Posuk says:
לא תגנבו ולא תכחשו ולא תשקרו איש בעמיתו
Therefore t first thought it would only be People who are עמיתו. The Ritva says NO, the words בעמיתו applies to the last two Issurim in the Posuk לא תכחשו ולא תשקרו and since there is an אתנחתא under the words of לא תגנבו and the אתנחת like a comma indicates a break therfore the פסוק consists of two parts לא תגנבו – don't steal (from anyone) בעמיתו – you shall not deny falsely and you shall not lie to another (Yid). We, therefore, have an איסור דאורייתא the איסור of גניבת דעת , based on the Trop of a certain word.

As you can see, the theme is modern, pretty, clear and elegant. The primary idea was to make internet presentations easier for bands and I'm sure that Brooklyn indie band will help you with that. Its not just HTML template, this package has a lots of assets which will help you to make your band site look perfect. Take a look what you'll be getting in the package
HTML5 / CSS3 SITE TEMPLATELayout is fluid and resolution goes from 1140xp – 960px. It has been done with ZURB Foundation framework, so cross-browser compatibility and easy modifications are present. Code (html, css, js) is neat, and every important line has been followed by comments so you can quickly adjust layout for your needs. Fonts that are being used are Google web fonts, you can can easily change them to suit your creative needs to match your band style. Soundclound integration is very easy and all it takes is to take the iframe code which soundclound generates, and the majority will automatically optimize inside the layout. You can also show youtube or vimeo video inside the featured section; you can check the example code inside the html.
PHOTOSHOP PSD FILESBesides the HTML template, you also get the PSD layout file. PSD has been perfectly organized and layers are sorted by groups. This will greatly help you while preparing your assets which you'll integrate inside the html template.
PHOTOSHOP COLOR ACTIONSThe things that are making this layout special, are the beauty of photography which are used. To fully match your photography into the surrounding, the package contains complete PS color actions. On the example below this text, you can see all the actions which you'll get (note / the first photography is original while others represent the actions).
Inside archive, you'll find 3 folders. The first one is HTML_Light which has the html template with html, css, images and js folders. Folder documentation contains html version of document which you're reading right now. Inside the PSD folder, there are all PSD assets so as folder with free fonts and color actions.

Newton tried to do it with three laws/statements. While the first can be derived from the second, the three form a pretty nice framework.
Later on, I've encountered Lagrangian Mechanics, which involves, from what I gather, one statement:
- Objects seek a path that minimizes total action.
Which, while sort of simple, doesn't sound too natural or fundamental.
I've heard some of these rather elegant statements:
- The universe is translation-invariant
- The universe is invariant under different inertial frames of reference
And from either of these, one may derive Newton's laws and F=ma. However, I'm not completely sure how this can be done. Were these claims true? How is this possible?
Has anyone ever come across a surprisingly/particularly stunningly elegant/fundamental formulation of classical mechanics, and a proof that they are equivalent to Newtonian Mechanics?

Given two points around an origin $(0,0)$ in $2D$ space, how would you calculate an angle from $p_1$ to $p_2$?
How would this change in $3D$ space?
Given two points around an origin $(0,0)$ in $2D$ space, how would you calculate an angle from $p_1$ to $p_2$?
How would this change in $3D$ space?
Assuming this is relative to the origin (as John pointed out): Given two position vectors $\vec p_1$ and $\vec p_2$, their dot product is:
$$\vec p_1\cdot \vec p_2 = |\vec p_1| \cdot |\vec p_2| \cdot \cos \theta$$
Solving for $\theta$, we get:
$$\theta = \arccos\left(\frac{\vec p_1 \cdot \vec p_2}{|\vec p_1| \cdot |\vec p_2|}\right)$$
In a 2D space this equals:
$$v = \arccos\left(\frac{x_1x_2 + y_1y_2}{\sqrt{(x_1^2+y_1^2) \cdot (x_2^2+y_2^2)}}\right)$$
And extended for 3D space:
$$v = \arccos\left(\frac{x_1x_2 + y_1y_2 + z_1z_2}{\sqrt{(x_1^2+y_1^2+z_1^2) \cdot (x_2^2+y_2^2+z_2^2)}}\right)$$
I will assume that you mean the angle of the line from p1 to p2 with respect to the x-axis
This is the best I can do given the information you have provided.
In any case, the official mathsy way would be to find the dot product between the two, and divide by the magnitude of p1-p2 and take the arccossine.
You can normalize a vector by dividing every term by the magnitude (length) of the entire vector.
For 3D, the same thing applies:
You could also possibly mean the angle between the line from the origin to p1 and the line from the origin to p2.
You can do this with dot products, as well; but both vectors must be normalized.
In case you want to implement it on some programming language.
Usually there is a function called like atan2(y, x) which returns oriented angle between points (x, y) and (1, 0). In that case use could use
atan2(vector product, scalar product).
This is usually more stable than using just arccos or arcsin.

CHARLESTON - Oak Glen senior Kelsey Chambers used a loss as motivation.
"I saw what it feels like to get second by that close and it's not a good feeling," she admitted. "That gave me a lot of motivation to want to win and not feel like that again."
Chambers had two losses in the past 12 months that had stuck in her craw.

The Oak Glen girls track and field team finished as the Class AA runners-up.
-- Photo courtesy of Action Images
The biggest one, though, was by 11 seconds at the West Virginia State Class AA-A Cross Country Championships.
"I didn't win states at cross country and that was a really big loss for me," Chambers said. "I was really upset about it. But, it helped me push through this and made me want to win even more.
"I think that loss pushed me the most.
"I love cross country. It's my life. So, getting a win under my belt was my motivation before I left (Oak Glen). When I started training for track, that's honestly what I kept thinking about - how bad that loss was in cross country and I didn't want to feel that again."
The second loss was in the 4x800 to Weir at the State Track and Field Championships at the University of Charleston's Laidley Field a year ago.
"I didn't like that one much at all, either," she said.
Everything changed Friday and Saturday back on the Laidley Field track.
Chambers didn't lose.
"The feeling of winning is so great here. I couldn't ask for anything better, honestly," she said.
"I'm really sad that my senior year is over. I'll be running in college, but it's still sad that you're leaving your team. I love running with these girls and I love being on this team. Going out like this is really all that I could ask for."
Chambers teamed with Christen Mangano, Alex Arnott and Felicity Nolder to win the 4x8 and then she claimed the 3200 crown on Friday.
She backed those up with convincing victories in the 1600 and 800 on Saturday.
Chambers became the first Oak Glen track and field athlete since Jordann Mitchell in 2007 to be a four-time state champion.
In doing so, she became the school's first track and field athlete to win the high point award. She shared it with Bridgeport junior Kayla Haywood. They scored 32 points.
"I'm just so honored to win the award," said Chambers. "And, to be the first person in school history to do so - I am blessed.
"I didn't come in here thinking about winning the high point award. I came in here trying to run my best and win. It doesn't even seem real because I never have won an open event at states until this year.
"I was able to win this award because of all the work myself and my teammates put in. Hard work does pay off and it did for all of us today."
Oak Glen's team took home hardware for the first time in school history with a Class AA runner-up finish to Bridgeport.
"We are so proud of our girls," said Lady Golden Bears coach Diane Wells, who has been at the school for 15 years, the last 11 as head coach. "We have a great coaching staff and the girls did everything we asked of them this year.
"Our girls performed today. The whole team did well. It wasn't just Kelsey. It was just a great day for Oak Glen track and field."
The Golden Bears finished with 53 points, two better than Ritchie County. Bridgeport won the team title going away,
Also scoring points were:
Emmy Delekta, third, discus (107-10).
Rachelle Woofter, fifth, shot put (31-4).
Shuttle team of Tori Feicht, Kim Smith, Marissa Nolder and Megan Nally finished sixth (1:10.51).
4x200 relay team of McKenzie Jones, Feicht, Arnott and Nally finished fourth (1:52.23) from the slow heat.
"Kelsey works really hard, as do all our kids," said Wells. "Kelsey is a real team player. She does whatever the team needs. She came through at OVACs when the team needed her to run those four events without a lot of time to rest. She came back with four events at regionals in one day and did what she had to do.
"Everyone on the team really stepped up today. This is a really great group of kids to work with. They worked hard all year for us.
"I've been very fortunate."

I have never tried installing backtrack on my mac but i did some research and found.
That, backtrack is based on debian.
And debian have a whole page dedicated to installing on MacBookPro and MacBook that you might what to check out.
There is also a whole tutorial here on how to Dual Boot Backtack and Mac: www.all-things-tech.co.uk/2013/05/how-to-install-backtrack-onto-mac-multi.html
I am not using OSX myself, but can point out on how it can work nicely.
when a system does POST, the self test at startup, it then reads the MBR and try to load the reference given in there. In general case GRUB gets installed in 2 parts, one is in MBR and other part gets loaded later. So if you install any current OS, it has a tendency to overwrite the MBR with its own form of boot loader thereby making the previous one inaccessible henceforth you cannot boot to prior OS.
you can try this in your virtual box, install BT and then try to install XP over it, you will find XP to mess up everything for BT.(because generally they say, first install windows, then linux). XP box nt loader will be overwritten in MBR thereby no reference to grub causing it to fail.
now if you take a snapshot of the first 512 bytes of a HDD before you have installed the second OS, then that backup of MBR can be loaded with the boot loader to mount and start first OS successfully.
This was done by XP systems during the transition period from windows 98 to XP. This can be one way of doing it.
there is another option for Linux, during its install, you can choose to install grub on your partition's boot sector rather than the MBR. this will keep the existing MBR intact and the Linux things will be self contained in a partition. Then in your OSX boot loader, you need to create a reference to load OS from linux partition, thereby keeping both safe and independent.

Initial care for finishes requires only periodic cleaning with mild non-abrasive soap and light buffing with a soft cloth.
Finish: 613
(Oil Rubbed Bronze)
Care Guidelines: Wipe with a little vegetable oil on a soft cloth. Too much oil may leave a residue to come off on the hands. Household detergents and mild abrasive powder may be used to restore the high metal color without seriously affecting the original compound of the metal. Then rub with a paste wax.

Richard Branson to ride the Cape Argus
Billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson is looking for tips on riding the 109km Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour – and he may need all the help he can get as, by his own admission, he has not been on a bike in a while.
Which means that you may be in with a chance to beat one of the world's biggest thrill-seekers. He revels in activities like high-altitude hot-air ballooning and did a world record-breaking kite surf across the English Channel. Taking on the Argus, on March 10, is his latest challenge.
The Argus, as it's affectionately known in Cape Town, is the world's largest individually timed cycle race; it is also one of the most picturesque. Branson will compete against 35 000 cyclists as they tour the Cape Peninsula, taking in both False Bay and the Atlantic Seaboard.
Branson owns Virgin, a leading international investment group and one of the world's most recognised brands. In South Africa some of his business interests include the Virgin Active Gym chain, a private game reserve and his airline, Virgin Atlantic, flies to South Africa.
Virgin Limited, his luxury brand of hotels, includes the Ulusaba Private Game Reserve, set in the Sabi Sand reserve on the border of the Kruger National Park.
In the run-up to the Argus, Branson is on Necker Island, in the British Virgin Islands. He owns the island and the spectacular resort, which he uses as one of his getaways, and that is where he is training hard. But with no cycle paths on the pristine island, he is doing a lot of indoor training.
Now, any Argus cycle veteran will tell you that you need to ride on roads and practise climbing those steep hills, because, let's face it, the Suikerbossie Hill has been the nemesis of many a brave rider. And how about Chapman's Peak, which is one of the world's most scenic routes, but the steep winding nature of the road takes many by surprise?
After announcing his intention to take part in the cycle tour, he tweeted: "Looking forward to #CapeArgus cycle. Haven't been on a bike for a while, any tips?" A number of useful hints came rolling in, and avid cyclist and columnist Jonathan Ancer tweeted: "Shave your legs. It may not make you go faster but you'll feel like a pro."
AdamBlythe89 exhorted Branson to just "keep pedalling!" and Shannyn Moore reminded him that, just like the old adage, remembering how to ride a bike is "well, it's just like riding a bike ..."
As far as Hanliprinsloo is concerned, deep breaths will help you go uphill. "Deep breaths on the uphills! Belly breathing has its place in cycling too," she tweeted.
The race raises money for a large number of charities and Virgin Active SA managing director Ross Faragher-Thomas said: "We are delighted that Richard is riding the race this year, to join a large contingent of our staff and a significant number of entrants who are Virgin Active members. We can't think of a better way to endorse our support of this fantastic race."
Use #RideWithRichard or @richardbranson to send Branson your tips on completing the Argus.

- Adrian Smith, 26, 10/18/74, male, 104 NW 14 Ave., Dania Beach
Description of Incident:
A Dania Beach bar owner was charged today (Monday) with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder after he deliberately caused a fatal car crash following an early morning shooting at his tavern.
The shooting occurred at about 12:45 a.m. at Chubb's Place. Taneka Williams and an unidentified woman were arguing over a man when Williams' friend, Germaine Hall, 26, came to her aid. Chubb's Place owner Willie Holmes, 41, told Hall to stay outside. Hall pulled a gun and fired from the doorway, grazing the head of Clarence Holmes, 39, the bar owner's brother.
Hall and his four companions immediately fled in a Chevrolet, driven by Hall. Willie Holmes jumped in his Jeep and pursued the Chevy. At the intersection of NW 2nd Street and 4th Avenue, Holmes deliberately drove his Jeep into the side of the Chevrolet, killing Hall and his front seat passenger, a 22-year-old Palm Beach County woman. Holmes was not hurt.
Moments after the fatal crash, Adrian Smith, 26, arrived, having followed both vehicles from the bar. Smith pulled a gun and fired a round into the Chevy's back seat, where Joseph Bradley, Taneka Williams and Sheila Williams were lying critically injured. No one was hit and Smith fled the scene. Deputies caught Smith minutes later and he was charged with Shooting into an Occupied Vehicle, Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, and Tampering with Evidence.
Willie Holmes, charged with murder and attempted murder, is being held without bond in the Broward County Jail. The dead woman's name is being withheld until next of kin are notified.

This question already has an answer here:
- How does gravity work underground? 4 answers
We all know that gravity decreases as the distance b/w the two increases. Hence
$$ g = G \frac{Mm}{r^2} $$
hence acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the distance b/w the 2 bodies.
Then why the gravity decreases as we go deep into the earth?

4 New Shop Machines from JET
14-inch Steel Frame Band Saw (Model #714500)
This new band saw seems to take some styling cues and features from the last-year's super-premium 15-inch Powermatic saw. "Steel frame" refers to the fact that the frame is made from welded tubular steel instead of the cast iron used in earlier models.
--The saw boasts an impressive 13 1/2-inch resaw height and 13 1/2-inch width capacity.
--Solid machine weighs in at over 350 pounds.
--1 3/4 hp motor that can run on 115 or 230 volt power.
--Upper and lower dust collection ports in the lower cabinet.
--Tool-free adjustment of the saw's 10 ball bearing blade guides.
--Quick-acting blade tensioning/de-tensioning lever.
--Extra-tall rip fence for resawing and milling wide boards.
--Crank arm for precisely dialing in table angle; 10-degrees to the left and 45-degrees to the right
--Fits blades up to 3/4-inch wide.
Construction Details
David Frane_ToTT
The band saw includes a heavy steel fence with a fine adjustment mechanism. The fence can be flipped and used on-edge for resawing (as shown) or on the flat when ripping thin material.
The blade guides are heavily constructed – solid brass and steel with knurled metal lock knobs
Woodworking Lathes (JWL-1015VS shown here)
JET introduced two nearly identical models. The JWL-1015 has a single-speed motor and by changing the configuration of belts and pulleys can be run at six fixed speeds from 500-3,950 rpm. The JWL-1015VS has a variable-speed motor and is infinitely adjustable within three ranges determined by the configuration of belts and pulleys: 200-1050 rpm, 300-1,750 rpm, and 600-3,600 rpm.
Both models share the following specs:
--15 1/2 inches between centers, 10-inch diameter swing over bed.
--Wider cast iron bed ways provide better stability for banjo and tailstock.
--24 index stop positions; set 15-degrees apart.
--Hollow tailstock allows for boring through work piece.
--Cast iron construction; base model is 73 pounds, VS model 78 pounds.
--Optional bed extension stretches the mini-lathes
--- Six fixed speeds from 500-3,975 rpm
Accessories that fit either lathe include JWL-1015 Bed Extension (#719101, $130), JWL-1015 Stand (#719102; $240), and JWL-1015 Stand Extension (#719103; $100)
JET 8" Woodworking Bench Grinder (Model #726100)
A woodworking grinder runs at half the speed of a typical bench grinder to specialize in sharpening tools without overheating cutting edges. This new grinder comes with upgraded Norton-brand wheels suited for finish grinding instead of rough grinding.
--8-inch diameter wheels run cooler and leave flatter hollow-grinds than 6-inch models.
--Low 1,725 rpm wheel speed.
--Comes with fine grade 80- and 100-grit, 1-inch wide wheels.
--1/2 hp motor; 5/8-inch shaft.
--Patent-pending oversize tool rests with machined faces and inscribed lines parallel to the wheels.
--Tool rests adjust along a 45-degree range marked in 1-degree increments for repeatability.
This is looking through the door into the machine room.
Here's the rest of the room. You can tell by the markings on the floor that the original machines were recently replaced.
At an event held at the Fort Houston cooperative workshop in southeast Nashville, I got a look at several brand new JET woodworking tools in their element–surrounded by some of the young creative types who will be the next generation of woodworkers. Much of the machinery in the Fort Houston shop was donated by JET, and without it the artisans there would be hard-pressed to build their creations and get up and going in their furniture and woodworking businesses.
While there I spoke to a number of JET product managers, who described their brand as an "everyman's tool"–well-suited to the professional but not as pricey as sister brand Powermatic. They said that going forward one of the key design elements for JET tools could be described as "quality touches", the desire to go beyond mere functionality and produce a machine that has visual as well as practical appeal. Examples would include the elimination of visible fasteners and choosing metal knobs over plastic ones–even if plastic would serve.
Among the tools introduced at this event were a 14-inch band saw, two wood lathes, and a woodworker's bench grinder. Click the image on the left for specs, photos and pricing for the new JET machines.
For additional coverage of the event at Fort Houston see Small Shop Powermatic Table Saw and What This Shop Needs is a Bowling Ball. Jet recently changed hands but that is unlikely to have any near-term effect on the products offered by the company.

Warmth, rain put sports on thin ice
Horse sleighs are likely to be grounded this weekend at a rally in Ashland, and the Kickapoo Valley Reserve's Winter Festival will probably ax sled dog races and cross-country skiing.
Even the Jack Frost Fest in Spooner on Saturday will probably strike snow shoeing from its activity list. Snowmobiles will stay parked in sheds throughout most of the state and it's hit or miss for cross-country skiers anxious to head out into the woods.
Remember the big storm that dumped a foot or more of snow throughout much of southern Wisconsin a few days before Christmas? You should have taken a picture. »Read Full Article(7)
Balanced attack helps Bucks snap skid in Boylan's debut
Turning in perhaps their most balanced performance of the season, the Milwaukee Bucks put a tumultuous Tuesday behind them the best way possible.
With a victory.
Led by Brandon Jennings' 29 points, seven players scored in double figures as the Bucks knocked off the Phoenix Suns, 108-99, at the BMO Harris Bradley Center just hours after it was announced that Scott Skiles was out as coach. »Read Full Article(3)
State ranked 42nd in job creation at midyear, census report shows
Wisconsin ranked 42 out of the 50 states in private-sector job creation, according to the latest available government jobs data deemed credible by economists.
The data, which covers the 12 months from June 2011 to June 2012, shows that Wisconsin's position worsened from a rank of 37 in the previous period from March 2011 to March 2012.
Tuesday's report drew attention to a chronic concern that has preoccupied economists, politicians, business and civic leaders for years: Why is Wisconsin a slow-growth state? »Read Full Article(1000)
Lawmakers want to limit overnight sessions, but don't agree on how
Madison - Assembly leaders tried to reach a deal Tuesday to limit overnight meetings that have become common and rancorous in recent years in a first test of bipartisanship in the new legislative session.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) and Minority Leader Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) said they were committed to reaching agreement but remained far apart. The two spoke after meeting for three hours and immediately returned to their closed-door negotiations.
"I think we're in agreement we don't want to be there days on end," Vos said. »Read Full Article(67)
Supervisors denounce move to cut their pay, County Board budget
A draft bill aimed at drastically cutting the pay for Milwaukee County supervisors and the budget for the County Board was denounced by supervisors Tuesday as an attempted power grab and an effort spawned by a "personal vendetta" of County Executive Chris Abele.
The measure before state lawmakers would concentrate power in the county executive by limiting time and resources for the board, said Supervisor Theo Lipscomb Sr. That would disrupt the balance of power between the executive and the board and "silence the voice of the legislative branch of county government," Lipscomb said.
Abele's inability to work well with the County Board led him to push for a measure for a binding referendum to cut supervisors' pay by 70% to $15,000 a year or less and cut the board's $6.6 million budget by 85% to about $1 million, according to County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic. »Read Full Article(149)
Infant dies while co-sleeping
The mother of an infant boy who apparently suffocated while sleeping with her on a couch told investigators that she had been drinking vodka and had taken an opioid-based pain medication the night of his death.
The boy, Cayden, born on New Year's Eve, was found by his father about 4 a.m. Monday. He was between his mother's body and the back of a couch the two had shared in an apartment in the 600 block of N. 61st St., according to a medical examiner's report released Tuesday.
Cayden is the first child to die in Milwaukee this year after being placed in an unsafe sleep environment. Unsafe sleep conditions contributed to the deaths of 10 Milwaukee children in 2012. »Read Full Article(51)
Rock at mine worries tribe
Rock samples from a proposed iron ore mine in Ashland and Iron counties should be made public so citizens and lawmakers can judge the potential harm that waste rock could have on local waters, Bad River Tribal Chairman Mike Wiggins Jr. said Tuesday.
Wiggins said that he has asked the federal Environmental Protection Agency to require mining company Gogebic Taconite to make the samples public. He plans to make the same request of the state Department of Natural Resources.
Wiggins visited Milwaukee with other members of the Bad River tribe to express their opposition to the $1.5 billion iron ore mine and proposed mining legislation that they said would weaken environmental safeguards. »Read Full Article(66)
Plow maker Douglas Dynamics says earnings will fall short
Snow plow maker Douglas Dynamics Inc. said Tuesday it expects revenue and earnings for 2012 to fall short of expectations.
Revenue now is projected to be about $140 million for the year, down from the $160 million to $190 million previously anticipated, the Milwaukee-based company said. Earnings per share for the full year are expected to be 25 cents to 27 cents per share, compared with earlier projections of 55 cents to 79 cents.
"During our third-quarter earnings call we outlined our expectations that results would be at the bottom end of our guidance range. As the fourth quarter unfolded, we saw below average snowfall combined with very warm temperatures in most of our core markets through mid-December, which created challenging market conditions and has produced results that fell short of our expectations," James L. Janik, president and chief executive, said in a press statement. "These preliminary results reflect the culmination of multiple factors that negatively affected our business during the year." »Read Full Article(1)

Take note: Pietrangelo's specialty was the trumpet
He found the beat-up old bugle when he was about 8 years old. His father had played it in the Navy. Jeff Pietrangelo wanted to know how it worked.
"Jeff was fascinated by it," his sister, Carol Wilson, recalls. His father showed him how to make sound come out of it. Then one day his father came home with a used trumpet for his son. Jeff looked with suspicion at the valves. "He was like, 'What are these?'" His father told him: "This is almost like the bugle except you can do more with it," Wilson recalls.

Wisconsin watchdog group loses funding, may seek cutbacks
Madison - A high-profile government watchdog group that maintains a database of all political donations made in Wisconsin has lost half of its funding and faces an uncertain future.
The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign alerted its supporters Tuesday that the Joyce Foundation decided to no longer give the group money. Democracy Campaign director Mike McCabe said that of the group's $430,000 annual budget, $232,500 of it came from the Joyce Foundation.

McCabe said the Democracy Campaign does not have an immediate cash-flow problem, but it may have to look at making cuts in coming months. (3)
Mukwonago High School: Indians mascot will stay for now
The wall in the Mukwonago High School gymnasium proclaiming, "This is Indian country," will remain until the Mukwonago Area School District hears the last word on the mascot issue. This despite a ruling by the Wisconsin appeals court Jan. 3 that overturned a decision by Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Donald Hassin Jr. that would have allowed the district to keep the mascot.
Hassin previously found that the state Department of Public Instruction had violated the due process rights of the district after Mukwonago residents Craig Vertz and James Schoolcraft challenged the DPI decision on the Mukwonago mascot in November 2010. But the appeals court maintained Vertz and Schoolcraft had no grounds to file a lawsuit on the decision since they were not part of the initial hearing.
MASD Superintendent Paul Strobel said he thinks they "haven't heard the last word on this." »Read Full Article(19)

Residents speak out against New Berlin Walmart
New Berlin - During three hours of speakers giving opinions to the New Berlin Plan Commission about a Walmart supercenter proposed for 15205-15375 W. Greenfield Ave., not one person favored it.
There were at least four recurring themes. One was that traffic is already bad there while another focused on worry that the area already has flooding problems and adding a big store with a big parking lot has the potential of making things worse. And even though the nearest subdivisions are some distance away, many complained about the lights that would be on 24-hours a day seven days a week and the noise of cars and trucks going in and out. Increased crime also was brought up as a concern.
The Plan Commission held the hearing because Walmart needs a rezoning. It also needs a change in the city's land use plan. The Plan Commission will vote on whether to recommend the changes at its Feb. 4 meeting. »Read Full Article(81)

Supreme Court rules for newspaper in records dispute with county
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that a newspaper is entitled to unredacted billing records a private law firm submitted to Juneau County's insurance company for work done defending litigation involving a suspended sheriff's deputy.
In a 4-3 decision, the court upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that the invoices fell under the contractors records provision of the Public Records Law through the unique "tripartite relationship" among the county, its liability insurer and law firm hired by the insurer to represent the county.
The Juneau County Star-Times sued the county in 2010 after it provided only redacted versions of the invoices. A circuit judge dismissed the complaint, saying the invoices were not covered by the Public Records Law because they were generated by a contract between the law firm and the insurance company only. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Ex-pastor sentenced for assaulting boy
Neillsville - A former pastor from Clark County has been sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison for sexually assaulting a boy he met on the Internet.
Dane County prosecutors say Ervin Witmer, 51, of Owen talked to the boy in an online chat room for gay teens and became aware that he had been sexually abused as a youngster by a relative. He then arranged to meet him at a Madison motel.
Witmer was a pastor at the Church of the Brethren in Stanley until 2011 when he became a district manager for a Christian book distributor. The State Journal says Witmer pleaded guilty in October to one count of second-degree sexual assault of a child. Two other counts were dismissed but considered at sentencing.

Show that there exist infinitely many values $n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $8n^2+5$ is divisible by $7$ and $11$, without using diophantine equations.
I have $8n^2+5=8(n^2-9)+77$ and since $7\mid 77$ and $11\mid77$, I am searching for those natural numbers $n$ such that $7\mid(n^{2}-9)$ and $11\mid(n^2-9)$. From the first one I get $n=4+7k$ and the second one $n=8+11l$. Then I have to solve the following diophantine equation $7k-11l=4$, which I know that got infinitely many solutions.
But I would like to know a way to show this without the diophantine equations. Is that possible?
