Highs just in upper 50s today
It should be mostly cloudy and dry in southeastern Wisconsin on Saturday, though there may be a slight chance of a sprinkle -- especially in the southwest.
That's the prognosis of Jesse Ritka, meteorologist for WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), who predicts a high temperature of 58.
The clouds will lift a bit on Sunday, Ritka says, and the temperature will warm into the low 60s. A warm front approaches on Monday, Memorial Day, with a greater chance of rain but highs again in the low 60s.

Most in Milwaukee-area delegation voted to end Scouts' gay ban
Milwaukee-area Boy Scout officials were just beginning Friday to assess the impact of a landmark national resolution ending the ban on openly gay Scouts.
Some saw the decision as part of their mission to serve all boys, some said it was an affront to their religious beliefs, and some said it didn't go far enough because the ban on openly gay troop leaders remains intact.
More than 1,400 members in the Boy Scouts' national voting body approved the measure Thursday, ending the organization's longtime ban on openly gay Scouts. The policy change takes effect Jan. 1.

Wisconsin lawmaker's plan calls for deeper tax cut, elimination of some credits
Madison — The state would more than double the cut in income tax rates proposed by Gov. Scott Walker, reducing rates by an additional $450 million over two years and eliminating a score of seldom-used credits under an overhaul of the tax system offered by a key Republican lawmaker.
The tax package to be formally unveiled Tuesday would come on top of the $343 million tax cut already proposed by Walker. If approved, the new proposal would slash income tax rates in Wisconsin by three-quarters of a billion dollars.
The changes being championed by GOP Rep. Dale Kooyenga of Brookfield, anaccountant, would also drop the number of income tax brackets from five to three and cut the standard tax form in Wisconsin from four pages to two pages, he said. »Read Full Article(218)

In an expansive interview with the Journal Sentinel that touched on gubernatorial and legislative intent, urban crime, livability, economic development and the city's residency ordinance, Flynn said the governor and the Republican-dominated Legislature seemed bent on hurting the city.
"I don't know of a governor anywhere in the country who succeeded in turning his state's economy around by actively facilitating the decline of his biggest city," Flynn said.

Fond du Lac vet's heroism may yield nation's highest military honor
World War II paratrooper units were light on their feet — they carried everything on their backs and didn't travel in armored vehicles.
So when James "Maggie" Megellas saw the German Mark V Panther tank bearing down on his platoon in Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge, he stuck his hands into his pockets and pulled out two grenades. Then he ran toward the deadly machine whose 75mm guns could pierce any Allied tank.
He singlehandedly took out the tank and saved his platoon, earning a Silver Star. But many thought he should have received the nation's highest military honor. His commanding officer filed the Medal of Honor paperwork but mistakenly omitted the fact that the Fond du Lac native had destroyed the Nazi tank. Military brass determined Megellas deserved the Silver Star. »Read Full Article

Stocks barely budge; market ends week with loss
NEW YORK (AP) Major stock indexes closed out their first weekly loss in a month in quiet trading Friday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 0.91 of a point to close at 1,649.60. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 8.60 points to 15,303, a gain of 0.1 percent. Procter & Gamble supported the Dow with an increase of 4 percent.
Both indexes had their first weekly losses since the week ending April 19. A disappointing manufacturing report out of China and a sharp fall in Japan's stock market rattled investors' nerves this week. But anxiety over the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program was the main culprit. Some investors interpreted comments from Fed officials to mean that the bank may start pulling its support for the economy sooner than they expected. »Read Full Article

After vote on gay youth, Scouts face more turmoil
The Boy Scouts of America will get no reprieve from controversy after a contentious vote to accept openly gay boys as Scouts.
Dismayed conservatives are already looking at alternative youth groups as they predict a mass exodus from the BSA. Gay-rights supporters vowed Friday to maintain pressure on the Scouts to end the still-in-place ban on gay adults serving as leaders.
"They're not on our good list yet," said Paul Guequierre of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay-rights group. He said the HRC, in its annual rankings of corporate policies on workplace fairness, would deduct points from companies that donate to the Boy Scouts until the ban on gay adults is lifted. »Read Full Article(142)

Panel accused of voting to cripple UW student advocacy group
Madison — A more than half-century-old advocacy group for Wisconsin's public university students says it will be crippled by a vote taken Thursday night by the Legislature's budget committee.
The United Council of UW Students said it was "targeted for elimination" by a Joint Finance Committee vote that will make it harder for the council to receive the student fees that fund its work advocating for lower tuition. Republicans pushing the provision criticized some of the United Council's political work but said they ultimately put forward the provision to free students to spend their own money how they want.
The change will reverse the way more than $800,000 in student fees to support the United Council are collected, turning it into a system in which students have to opt in individually to pay the modest fee rather than opt out. »Read Full Article(26)

Hello everyone!
I'm a student currently studying 'Interactive Multimedia', which basically means I have no idea what I want to do for a living, and that I'm mediocre in a variety of areas.
- I'm an avid gamer, recently playing a lot of casual and indie games.
- I also studied music for many years when I was younger, but I find creating cohesive music to be very stressful, which is unfortunate. That said, here are some of my dabblings.
- Longtime user of gaming.stackexchange.com (now 'Arqade').
Sometimes I just sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

• Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C• Lypo-Spheric™ AGE Blocker™ (B-complex and minerals)
• Lypo-Spheric™ GSH (Glutathione)
What Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, says about Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C
"Comparing the bioavail-ability of all other oral vitamin C delivery with your oral liposomal delivery is like comparing a squirt gun to a fire hose. Not only am I convinced that the efficacy of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C far surpasses any traditional oral vitamin C supplement, but my recent personal experience with it suggests that it may sometimes be better than IV injection."
Research confirms the "off-the-charts" bioavailability of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C
Studies show that as dose size increases, the amount of vitamin C that actually enters the bloodstream decreases exponentially. (Groff, et al, 1995) More recently, a study testing the bioavailability of liposome-encapsulated vitamin C against that of traditional vitamin C supplements was published in a peer-reviewed journal. The researchers - using LivOn's Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C - found that LivOn's "smart" liposomal nano-spheres® were able to deliver roughly twice the maximum amount of vitamin C to the blood previously thought possible with an oral supplement. (Hickey, et al, 2008)
Until now intravenous injection was the only way to get GSH into the bloodstream. Liposomal encapsulation now allows you to take it by mouth!

BTOP in Action
As of July 2011, the Texas State Library & Archives Commission has upgraded public computer centers at 11 libraries throughout the state. Known as the Technology Expertise, Access and Learning for all Texans (TEAL) project, this initiative is providing computer access and training opportunities for the state's most underserved populations across 38 partnering library systems. BTOP funds already have helped these learning institutions replace 153 existing computers and deploy an additional 163 workstations, connecting an average of 3,500 users per week to online resources.
TEAL also offers professional development webinars for library staff. These webinars provide librarians with tools and techniques to manage and promote computer resources, enabling libraries to better meet patrons' technology needs. To date, TEAL has facilitated 10 webinars for approximately 744 library staff members, helping them improve their understanding of technology to boost sustainable broadband adoption. TEAL offers webinars on a variety of topics including a series on how to promote and teach computer technology with seniors and people with disabilities. TEAL also partnered with the Texas Workforce Commission to create a series of workforce skills webinars, teaching librarians how to help library patrons with their job searches and career development.
TEAL is using approximately $8 million in BTOP funds and $3.7 million in non-Federal matching funds to provide 2,200 new workstations in 155 new or upgraded public computer centers and directly create more than 100 full- and part-time jobs. As of July 2011, BTOP funds have allowed the Texas State Library & Archives Commission to hire four full-time employees to conduct training workshops and help manage the public computer resources. To see local media coverage, please visit The Smithville Times.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter helped launch the Freedom Rings Partnership at the April 26, 2011, official opening of the FIGHT Computing Center, the first of the project's 77 public computer centers to provide digital literacy and workforce training opportunities.
FIGHT is one of 13 local agencies working with the city's Division of Technology to provide broadband Internet access, computers, and training to Philadelphia's most economically and socially vulnerable populations. The Urban Affairs Coalition, a lead partner in this initiative, will provide computer and technology training opportunities at many computer center locations.
The Freedom Rings Partnership plans to create 177 full-time and part-time jobs. The 77 computer centers will include 19 recreation centers, 29 community-based organization sites working with high-risk populations, 10 homeless shelters, 15 other affordable housing sites, and four mobile labs that will reach communities lacking space or the capacity to house a computer center.
In addition to services provided at citywide computer centers, the Freedom Rings Partnership will encourage Philadelphians to "get connected" to technology in their homes. The participating partners expect to serve approximately 15,000 people per year and use a citywide outreach campaign to deliver information about the importance of broadband technology to more than 100,000 households.

BTOP recipient Tincan celebrated the opening of its new media lab and film production facility on June 8, 2010, in Spokane, Wash. Over 200 people attended the opening ceremony and open house, including mayors from nearby towns and representatives from the offices of U.S. Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and others. Many local businesses and vendors also participated. The new space will house the Tincan offices, a 32-computer media lab for training and workshops, and a full professional video production studio. As of October 2010, Tincan had distributed computers and software to Peaceful Valley Community Center, Northeast Community Center, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Outreach Center for public access use. These locations and others will provide access to the Internet for people who do not otherwise have access, and new spaces where Tincan can provide training in Internet skills.

The New Jersey State Library (NJSL), an affiliate of Thomas Edison State College, enrolled more than 6,500 students in more than 2,800 hours of job-readiness computer skills workshops in public libraries across New Jersey. This initiative is designed to help unemployed and underemployed residents acquire the skills needed to find and retain a job. The libraries are providing free access to broadband, workforce development classes, and career advancement tools.
NJSL used BTOP funds to deploy more than 845 new computers at 125 public libraries and upgrade broadband connectivity at 86 public libraries. Along with free access to these workstations, the libraries offer workforce development classes on topics such as computer fundamentals, resume and cover letter techniques, job search fundamentals, and email basics. The libraries also provide free access to career databases and applications that help users explore careers, find and apply for jobs, improve interviewing skills, and track job search progress.
NJSL also provides resources for small business owners and entrepreneurs to foster entrepreneurship, and help existing businesses make lasting and substantial improvements in their performance. At the libraries, community residents can access online business and marketing tools and in-depth market research reports.
In addition to job training classes for residents, NJSL is partnering with the New Jersey Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development to provide professional development workshops and specialized training for library staff members seeking to advance their careers. Librarians learn techniques for managing computer resources, allowing them to better meet their patrons' technology requests. NJSL has conducted 221 hours of training for its library staff and more than 20 hours of in-person workshops for approximately 100 librarians on how to use career tools and applications that can help library patrons.
Local librarians have seen many of their patrons acquire jobs after taking career building and digital literacy courses. For example, a visitor to the Mount Laurel Public Library lost his job in 2008. He enrolled in the library's workforce development workshops in 2010 and, using skills he learned in the workshops, was able to find a new job online. A resident of Garfield, N.J., also took a computer course at the Garfield Public Library, acquiring computer skills that she needed to obtain a part-time position as a Product Demonstrator. Libraries across the state are seeing similar successes of how broadband can improve a person's economic situation.

The Toledo Telephone Company, in partnership with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, has helped more than 300 community members learn basic computer functionality, Internet, and email skills through intensive classes. Upon successful completion of the course, participants also receive a laptop and two years of free broadband service.
Based on the success of the initial program, Toledo Telephone Company expanded their course offerings to include an auxiliary course to 40 additional participants each month. The auxiliary course's curriculum covers a wide variety of topics, including Microsoft ® Office productivity software. When several senior citizen community members expressed an interested in learning how to share digital photos, Toledo Telephone Company also developed an Adobe ® Photoshop course.
All of these classes are part of a countywide initiative to increase broadband adoption through computer equipment and digital literacy education relevant to the Lewis County community and Cowlitz tribal members. Some community members that have successfully completed the course have implemented their computer knowledge in the workplace. One participant, who previously hand wrote her column for a local Toledo newspaper, now composes her article using her laptop and submits by email.

On December 5, 2011, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library reopened a newly renovated public computer center. The renovation of the Kent Branch @ccess Center included upgrading 109 computers, increasing broadband speeds and enhancing career-building resources. Since the opening, the center now offers free workforce development workshops and mentoring sessions to help individuals acquire the skills needed to find and retain jobs.
The @ccess Center has been able to acquire SMART® Board interactive whiteboards, build a new research lab for group collaboration, and offer classes to help visitors become more competitive in today's digital job market. The whiteboards allow instructors and students to digitally write on the board and interact with digital training materials. The center offers a wide variety of classes to help visitors develop digital literacy and workforce skills, including classes in computer basics, Internet fundamentals, and productivity software, such as Microsoft® Office, resume creation and interview preparation.
The @ccess Center is also providing classes on how to find and apply for jobs online since many Toledo-Lucas County businesses in Toledo-Lucas County are recruiting online. The @ccess Center provides workshops and individual assistance with job searching, email basics, and online applications. The center has already helped many of its visitors apply and interview for jobs at local manufacturing plants, as well as a newly opened casino, since each of these businesses has moved their hiring practices online
The library's ultimate goal is to help Toledo-Lucas County residents improve their lives through computer resources and educational opportunities. In addition to the @ccess Center, the library funded the Cybermobile, a state-of-the-art mobile technology center complete with broadband Internet access. Funded by BTOP, this "classroom on wheels" is equipped with 12 desktop computers and provides broadband and digital literacy training to residents who are unable to commute to the @ccess Center.
In March 2011, the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID), also known as Internet2, began upgrading its advanced middle-mile backbone network in support of the United States Unified Community Anchor Network (U.S. UCAN) project. Extending across 50 states, this upgraded network will enable high-speed broadband connectivity for up to 121,000 additional community anchor institutions. The project is a large-scale, public-private partnership that will interconnect more than 30 existing research and education networks, creating a dedicated fiber-optic backbone that will enable advanced broadband capabilities such as video multicasting, telemedicine, distance learning, and other life-changing Internet-based applications. UCAID's BTOP-funded fiber-optic network will also offer more than 8.8 TBps of capacity.
As of July 2011, UCAID has upgraded and activated more than 4,828 miles of its proposed 16,312 mile fiber network. In addition, UCAID anticipates the first coast-to-coast links, from New York City to Sunnyvale, Calif., to be installed and operational this summer with the entire network expected to be completed by early 2013.
In addition to the network infrastructure, UCAID also initiated outreach and awareness-building activities to demonstrate how advanced broadband applications and services could be deployed throughout the United States. In April 2011, UCAID hosted an annual two-day conference meeting in Arlington, VA, where more than 65 members attended to receive a status update on the project's construction efforts and learned about the new services the organization will provide through the advanced network.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks is breaking down the digital divide in remote villages across the state, using a three-prong approach to increase sustainable broadband adoption. Through the Bridging the E-Skills Gap project, the university is partnering with 21 non-profit, educational, and for-profit organizations to create distance learning, public safety, and telehealth opportunities.
For example, the Alaska Library Network, a non-profit organization created to administer and coordinate programs and services across Alaskan libraries, provides free access to two new distance learning tools at libraries throughout the state. The first, Live Homework Help, is an online educational portal that offers live homework tutors to K-12 students seven days a week. Students can get help on a variety of subjects, including math, science, English, and social studies. The second, the Testing Educational Reference Center, is an online resource where patrons can access study guides, practice tests, and tutoring videos for school entrance and career certification exams. Library visitors can use the tool to prepare for tests, such as GED, SAT, and the Reciprocal Electrician Journeyman License exam. As of December 2011, these tools were already used for approximately 1,200 training sessions.
Another project partner, the Family Centered Services of Alaska, installed two video conference centers in Fairbanks to provide distance learning classes, professional development workshops, and even family therapy sessions to low-income families. The Alaska Postsecondary Commission is in the process of creating the College and Career Guide, an online portal that allows students to develop career plans, research and apply to colleges and postsecondary institutions, and find scholarships and other financial aid. Yet another project partner, the Alaska Native Tribal Consortium, offers a Telehealth Coordinator Certification Program for medical professionals. This three-course program helps individuals become certified workers skilled in the use and application of telehealth applications and videoconferencing equipment.
The University of Alaska's ultimate goal is to provide broadband training to as many as 7,400 residents, both old and young. To reach the region's youngest and most remote residents, the university created the Digital Storytelling–Performance Literacy program, a unique workshop where K-12 students learn how to digitally write and tell their own culturally relevant stories. Participants learn podcast basics, Microsoft ® PowerPoint fundamentals, and oral presentation skills. At the end of the class, students create and perform their own personal stories. As of December 2011, 71 students have participated in the program, telling stories on a wide variety of subjects, including Tlingit customs, native Alaskan animals, and family ancestry.

With the support of BTOP funds, the University of Massachusetts Lowell has already held digital literacy and workforce development classes for more than 4,000 people. These classes are created to boost sustainable broadband adoption among low-income youth, the unemployed, adults without college degrees, and senior citizens. The university conducts this training at nine partner sites across the Lowell and Merrimack Valley regions and provides courses on topics such as computer basics, digital media production, and job readiness.
For example, at the Amesbury, Lawrence, and Salisbury senior centers, the university conducts basic computer skills classes, teaching residents Internet fundamentals. At the United Teen Equality Center, young adult trainers provide video game development and digital media editing classes, preparing teenagers for possible careers in broadcasting or Internet entrepreneurship. The university is also partnering with Community Teamwork Inc., a non-profit organization that helps low-income individuals become self-sufficient, to integrate digital literacy training into its Job Readiness Program. This five-week program helps unemployed participants re-enter the workforce, teaching them interview skills, resume writing techniques, email tips, and Microsoft® Office software.
In addition, the university has opened nine public computer centers, providing visitors free access to more than 48 workstations. BTOP funding has also allowed the university to hire nine computer trainers and offer some of its digital literacy classes in both English and Spanish.

On December 21, 2010, the Vermont Council on Rural Development announced that it would expand its e-Vermont Community Broadband Project to 12 new communities, including Bridgewater, Calais, Castleton, Dover, Fairfield, Hardwick, Jay/Westfield, Middletown Springs, Moretown, Morristown, Richford, and Vergennes. Building on the previous success of 12 first round communities, e-Vermont began rolling out a broad range of digital literacy training and tools through its "e-Partners" and Community Directors to these new communities.
For example, one partner, the Small Business Development Center is offering workshops for local community members and small rural businesses with an introduction to how online resources can help improve their businesses. In addition, staff from the Vermont State Colleges are conducting workshops to build digital literacy skills in all 24 communities. The Vermont State Colleges also provide webinars on key topics such as Internet Safety for Parents and "train the trainer" programs for community members who want to learn to teach basic Internet skills.
Through Digital Wish, the e-Vermont project will help schools implement computer learning initiatives by leading digital literacy courses, offering sample curricula, recommending acceptable usage policies, providing basic technical support, and deploying laptops in fourth through sixth grade classes. As of December 2010, Digital Wish and the e-Vermont project had reached 665 students and 42 educators in 24 schools, and deployed more than 600 computers into the 12 first round communities.
The project also has a page on Facebook and Twitter with the latest news.

YEAR IN REVIEW No. 6: Wrangler girls basketball team falls two points short of state tournament
By DEVIN HASSON, firstname.lastname@example.com
There is not much that is missing from West Mesquite's list of accomplishments from the last few years.
Since 2005, the Wranglers have made the playoffs in each of those eight seasons, have won at least a share of seven consecutive district championships and have advanced to the regional tournament three times.
Of those trips, last year's was the closest West Mesquite had come yet to breaking through and advancing to the state tournament but it fell just a little short in a 36-34 loss to Rockwall.
But West Mesquite was starting to get healthy and the results showed on the court.
The Wranglers embarked on an 18-game winning streak that took them through the final four games of the Dallas ISD Coca-Cola Tournament, to a perfect 16-0 record in district play and on into the playoffs.
West Mesquite had few problems with its early opponents, handling Hutto (80-51), Tyler John Tyler (55-37) and Sherman (53-38) to return to the regional tournament.
The Wranglers then moved to the finals for the second straight year when they dispatched Highland Park, 62-51, in the semifinals.
The regional championship could not have started any worse for West Mesquite, which scored only 11 points in the first half and trailed by a dozen.
Behind 16 points from Sha'Georgia Williams and 10 from Claudia Price, the Wranglers chipped away and made it a game late, but ultimately fell a basket short of its first trip to Austin.

Local companies key in growing voice acting industry
Photo courtesy of Voice Coaches -- Mike Spring, vice president of communications for Voice Coaches, works a voice over session. Voice Coaches will host an informational workshop on the voice over industry Jan. 28 at Carpenter Recreation Center.
By Conner Hammett, email@example.com
The voice over industry has changed a lot in the last 10 years.
Work, traditionally bound to large cities, has increasingly moved to smaller communities. Home recording technology has allowed talent to work out of their houses, and the expansion of video production has broadened the traditionally advertising-oriented field.
"Twenty years ago, I could have come there and talked about the voice over field, but there wouldn't be much opportunity," said David Bourgeois, president and creative director of Voice Coaches, an Albany-based production studio that regularly holds voice acting seminars across the country. "Today, there is a great deal of opportunity."
"Commercials are out there. They're a lot of fun," he said. "But the growth has really been on the narrative side of the field."
One local company that specializes in voice overs is Richardson-based Okratron 5000, which provides music and dialogue for top-selling video games such as Guitar Hero: World Tour and the recent critical smash Borderlands 2, the latter of which was developed by Plano-based Gearbox Software.
"Dallas is easily in the top three places to work as a voice actor, alongside New York and Los Angeles, but it wasn't always that way," said Christopher Sabat, voice and studio director for Okratron 5000. "Ten years ago, the assumption was that you had to go to California to get quality voice talent on your games or cartoons, and because of that, many actors left Dallas for Los Angeles to find work. But over the years, local companies ... have remained loyal to using local talent instead of outsourcing the VO to West Coast companies. This has created a massive pool of experienced, fantastic Dallas-based voice actors who can compete in every way with Hollywood."
While Sabat admits it is difficult to break into the industry, he said the market has seen incredible growth in recent years.
"We now have thousands of TV channels and infinite websites that need content, and video game systems have become complex, able to handle far more music, sound effects and, of course, voice than they ever have," he said. "Major video game budgets are now matching major Hollywood movie budgets and players expect 40-hour long stories, so the business of voice over is very healthy."
While working on video games on such a large scale is usually a job for the most experienced voice actors, Bourgeois said the seminar will answer many questions those curious about the field have, including the pros and cons of the field, how to piece together a demo and how to look for work opportunities.
"This class is designed as an upbeat, realistic introduction to the world of voice overs," he said. "It's not a class that will make someone a voice [actor]. It's a class that will teach somebody what the field is, what it isn't, where the opportunities are, all of the wonderful things about the field, and some things people may find as roadblocks in the field."
A Voice Coaches "Making Money with Your Voice" seminar will be hosted at Carpenter Recreation Center, 6701 Coit Road, at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 28. Attendance is $15. The program is capped at 25 participants. To register, call the Plano Parks and Recreation Department at 972-941-7250.
