According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), over 3 million children below the age of 5 years die annually due to environment-related causes. This means that maintaining a clean home environment is a vital factor in raising healthy children. In particular, it is important to eliminate air pollutants, contaminated water, toxic chemicals, mould, decaying household waste, and accumulated dirt from the home. Here is a brief discussion on the influence of cleanliness on a children's health.
A Bad Environment Limits a Child's Growth Potential
A poorly maintained indoor and outdoor environment can adversely affect a child's mental and physical development. Children who live in noisy, overcrowded and disorganised homes usually have negative behavioural traits. According to a renowned developmental scientist and researcher, Dr. Gary Evans, from the Department of Human Development and Environmental Analysis at Cornell University, there are significant delays in the time it takes for children, who live near airports, to learn how to read. He said that a child's reading ability, cognitive development, and physiological indicators are affected negatively by noise from cars, music and air planes.
Another major environmental hindrance to a child's development is overcrowding and clutter. Clutter makes it difficult for a child to sustain mental focus. A study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, on the influence of many objects in a child's field of vision, showed that excessive clutter will lead to over-stimulation and eventually cause slower learning in toddlers. In addition, children who live in an overcrowded environment tend to be withdrawn. Although, working class parents may find daily housekeeping difficult, cleaning the home for about an hour every week will create a more conducive environment for children to learn, play and develop mentally. For busy families, try Simplymaid Sydney for house cleaning.
A Clean Home Will Lead to Fewer Missed School Days
A well-kept home, with a pleasant aroma, will enhance the academic performance of the children living in it. For children who are in elementary school, a clean home will enhance the immune system of the child. Consequently, strong resistance to disease germs will enable the child to remain healthy throughout the school term. Absence from school due to illness will be drastically reduced or completely eliminated. Similarly, the mother will not have to take several days off from work to attend to her sick child at home.
Recent research, which surveyed over 5,000 students in high school, showed that children living in clean homes obtained higher grades than students who were not. Over 80% of those who had top grades said that their home had a clean and pleasant scent. On the other hand, more than 30% of the students with poor grades said their homes had an unpleasant odour. A clean home will enable a child to study better at home and obtain better grades at school. The academic performance of the child and productivity of the parents will be influenced positively by the clean home environment.
There is a strong link between unclean homes and unhealthy children. Children who are raised in poorly maintained and untidy homes perform poorly at school because their learning is impaired by their environment. However, through regular cleaning and re-arrangement of items in the home, a child's health, mental development and academic performance will be enhanced.

Malley's 103 Yards Help Bearcats Gain 310 Yards on the Ground
SPOKANE, WASH. -- Willamette University gained 407 total yards, including 310 yards on the ground, as the Bearcats moved past Whitworth University, 28-12, in wet conditions at the Pine Bowl in Spokane, Wash., on Saturday, Oct. 30. Terrell Malley (So., TB, Portland, OR/Roosevelt HS) led the Willamette rushing attack with 17 carries for 103 yards and one touchdown.
With the win, the Bearcats improved to 6-2 on the season, including 3-1 in the Northwest Conference. Whitworth fell to 4-4 overall, 1-3 in the NWC,
Willamette ran the ball 65 times for 310 yards and three touchdowns. The Bearcats averaged 4.8 yards per rush and and had 11 players carry the ball. Malley's rushing efforts resulted in his second 100-yard game of the season, while Jose Green (Sr., TB, Downey, CA/Warren HS) added 12 carries for 73 yards and one touchdown.
Four of Green's six carries in the second half resulted in first downs, including one on 3rd-and-4 in the third quarter and one on 4th-and-1 in the final period. The third down conversion kept alive a 15-play drive for a field goal and a 22-6 lead early in the fourth quarter.
The fourth down pick-up occurred on WU's next possession. It didn't result in points, but it helped the Bearcats run the final four plays in a 15-play drive that ended on downs at the Whitworth 21 and consumed 10:16 off the clock.
On a day where the field conditions favored the team that kept possession and found a way to add points, freshman place-kicker Kyle Derby (Oakdale, CA/Oakdale HS) of Willamette played an important role. He converted 3 of 3 field goal attempts on kicks of 29, 22 and 22 yards.
His first field goal gave the Bearcats a 3-0 led with 3:40 left in the first quarter. It ended an 18-play, 61-yard drive that lasted 9:07 on the clock. The drive started with a 12-yard run by Malley and included a total of 13 running plays. It also featured four pass completions by quarterback Brian Widing (So., Canby, OR/Canby Union HS) -- one to each of four players for a total of 26 yards.
Willamette also scored on its next two possession to surge out to a 16-0 advantage. Green scored on a 2-yard run with 12:36 left in the second quarter. The touchdown run finished a 10-play, 85-yard drive. The extra point kick failed.
Malley added another 2-yard touchdown run several minutes later at the 9:54 mark. Derby kicked the PAT.
The touchdown by Malley occurred four plays after Dominic David (So., S, Keizer, OR/South Salem HS/Portland State Univ.) of Willamette intercepted Andrew DeFelice and returned the ball 29 yards to the Pirates' 6-yard line. A penalty brought the ball back the Whitworth 21.
Whitworth countered by bringing in Taylor Eglet at quarterback. The Pirates proceeded to drive 67 yards on 11 plays. Eglet threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Wade Meyer with 5:23 remaining in the half to cut Willamette's lead to 16-6. Ryan Dunton was stopped short on the conversion run.
The Bearcats kept the ball for just three plays before punting. Whitworth drove the ball from its own 18-yard line to the Willamette 2 and called timeout with 24 seconds left. Eglet threw incomplete on first and second down.
Eglet lobbed the ball toward a receiver in the end zone on third down, but Cody Pastorino (So., S, Glenn, CA/Willows HS) leaped up at the last moment to deflect the ball from the receiver's hands. Pastorino also grabbed the ball as it fell, stopping the Whitworth drive with an interception. WU led 16-6 at the break.
Ball control and defense allowed Willamette to control the second half. Willamette ran 36 times for 190 yards in the final two quarters and kept the ball for an impressive 24:10 over the final 30 minutes. The Bearcats finished the game with 41:22 in overall time of possession.
Widing was 10 of 12 passing for Willamette. He threw for 97 yards and did not have an interception. Despite the wet conditions and intermittent rain, the Bearcats had no turnovers during the game and neither team fumbled. The Pirates tossed two interceptions.
Whitworth finished the afternoon with 265 total yards, but gained only 88 yards in the second half. The Pirates achieved 61 of their yards on their final drive, which started with 1:26 remaining. Jake DeGooyer scored on a 39-yard pass from Taylor Eglet with four seconds left in the game.
Willamette held the Pirates to just 63 rushing yards on 20 carries. Eglet topped Whitworth with 36 yards on 10 rushing attempts. Eglet also went 12 of 25 passing for 173 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Dale Entel of Whitworth recorded a game-high six catches for 78 yards.
Harmon Bruno (Jr., OLB, Danville, CA/San Ramon Valley HS) earned seven total tackles to lead the Bearcats on defense. He had one tackle for a loss and broke up one pass. Ralph Pineda (Sr., ILB, Los Angeles, CA/Cathedral HS/San Jose State Univ.) provided Willamette with six total tackles.
Layton Brown (Sr., LB) ranked first on Whitworth's tackle chart with 13 total stops, including 10 solo tackles. Scott Carr (So., DB) added 11 tackles and Paul Werhane (Sr., LB) achieved 10 tackles.
Willamette will host Lewis & Clark College at McCulloch Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 6. Game time is scheduled for 1 p.m. (PDT).

i'm going to switch Hugo to Ielena and Azel to Kenny, but with Ielena and Kenny, i only have like 4 life sucking card, so is there any more life sucking card in nightmare that i dont know?
advice and suggestion is welcome XD
St3f Guru Sunday 11/07/2010, 19:45
No don't change hugo , he helps your cards. Pan isn't a life sucking cards but he has + life and you must buy him. Your deck is also 24 stars so change nerfereti to a 4 star (oshitsune,glorg,azgroth) Kenny is weak but deadly so you can buy him and test him. Imo Mojo and Hel aren't good but since you want life sucking cards keep hel and do mojo to pan.

There is quite a bit published on this subject. I got over 2000 hits on the usda site. What I find interesting is the recommendations and studies I came across about V-C to reduce lipids to prevent Macular Degeneration. If I got it right V-C prevents cholesterol from sticking in your eyes but not in your ticker.??? Our tax dollars at work!
Anyway in keeping with theme of this thread I found this Reference.

So Yes as we age our needs and risks increase and the body's demand for supplementation of V-C and other nutrients increases. Remember we are looking at people who are in good health and looking for a good preventive level not a curative amount.

Ford Automotive Student Service Educational Training (Ford ASSET)
Brookhaven College
Massive technological change involving electronic controls occurred in automobiles being manufactured in the mid-1970s. Ford Motor Company executives realized that the need for highly skilled service technicians with electronic diagnostics as well as mechanical training would be needed to properly maintain and service their new high-tech products. During the spring of 1982, a Ford Motor Company corporate office representative from Dearborn, Mich., approached Brookhaven College to propose it as the site for its second Ford Automotive Student Service Educational Training (Ford ASSET) program.
The Dallas/Fort Worth area, with its high concentration of progressive Ford dealerships, garnered the second investigation, and Brookhaven College was the community college chosen in 1982 to respond to dealer needs. Capitalizing on the responsiveness that Brookhaven College had demonstrated with GM, Ford saw the college as a desirable partner. The college consolidated its Auto Body program with that of Eastfield College, strengthening its Automotive Technology program and allowing for renovation of its facility to respond to Ford's proposal.
Brookhaven College administrators and faculty worked hand-in-hand with Ford corporate office representatives and local dealers to identify key competencies; develop necessary educational materials, curriculum patterns and teaching strategies; and identify and secure new-model vehicles and tools with which to train as well as faculty professional development related to this emerging technology.
Over the past 34 years, contributions provided by Ford Motor Company and local dealers in support of this program consist of training equipment, including more than 150 Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles; thousands of engines, component parts and special/diagnostic tools; more than 7,200 hours of manufacturer-specific professional development for ASSET instructors; and thousands of dealership technician mentoring hours provided to Brookhaven students during their four cooperative work experience courses required for their degree.
Additional in-kind contributions include hundreds of hours dedicated to providing Ford Motor Company ASSET program support at the corporate and regional manager levels to coordinate with dealers and college staff. In addition to corporate support, individual dealerships support students in various ways ranging from outright tool purchases for students, initial purchase with monthly payroll deduction arrangements, defrayed tuition and/or fuel costs for student travel to and from dealerships during cooperative work experiences, and varying levels of health insurance coverage.
The curriculum for the
Dealership-Sponsored Technician Associate in Applied Sciences degree was designed collaboratively by Ford Motor Company technical staff and Brookhaven College faculty. Ford-specific certifications are also embedded in the curriculum, and students are awarded with these industry-recognized credentials as a part of the program.
ASSET students attend intensive 10-week sessions of classroom lecture and laboratory exercises at the college, followed by a 10-week cooperative work experience at the student's sponsoring Ford or Lincoln dealership. This process allows the student to apply recent classroom activities in a professional dealership environment. The total program lasts about 90 weeks, with approximately 50 weeks spent at Brookhaven College and 40 weeks at the student's sponsoring dealership.
Since the program's inception, more than 400 A.A.S.-degreed technicians have begun careers at Ford and Lincoln dealerships throughout North Texas. Many have advanced into supervisory and managerial roles.
"The D/FW area is lucky to have a stable program that has not only partnered with our dealers but has become the backbone of future dealer management and high-grossing senior master technicians. Brookhaven College has filled that gap for the past 30-plus years and continues to deliver top-level technicians in 21 months with an A.A.S. in Automotive Technology."
For information on Dealership-Sponsored Auto Technician Training programs at Brookhaven College, call 972-860-4189.

Mitt Romney's GOP rivals aren't the only ones piling on the front-runner over his wealth. Jon Stewart did the same — but also gave Romney a curious defense.
The big impetus behind new charges that Romney's out of touch? His remarks in the back-to-back debates in New Hampshire on Saturday night and Sunday morning. ("It's like the Republican primary has become a telethon for electoral dystrophy," Stewart joked of the drumbeat of debates.)
Stewart made a crack about Romney's wealth, too, pointing to Romney's account of his pleasure that even though he'd lost a Senate race to Ted Kennedy, he'd cost the Kennedy campaign a pretty penny in the process.
"You forced Ted Kennedy to mortgage one of his houses? What a weird, rich-guy thing to brag about," Stewart said.
But the rest of the GOP field is being hypocritical when it criticizes Romney for using his wealth, he added.
"Mitt Romney is the pure distillation of conservative economic policies," he explained. "It's like Mitt Romney answered the Republicans' eHarmony ad."

State police look for car in Carroll County hit-and-run
Michael Hatfield, 18, critically injured in Taylorsville crash
The Maryland State Police are looking for a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run that critically injured an 18-year-old on a busy road in Taylorsville over the weekend.
Police said troopers were called to the intersection of Liberty and Ridges roads for reports of a collision involving a pedestrian around 11:40 p.m. Saturday.
Michael Fuller Hatfield, of Mount Airy, had left a nearby 7-Eleven and was trying to cross Liberty Road when an unidentified vehicle heading west struck him and left the scene, police said.
Patrons from a nearby bar said they heard the impact and ran out to help. Police said the teen's body was found about 20 feet west of the traffic light.
Hatfield was flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore, where he was still listed in critical condition and in an induced coma on Wednesday, being treated for a brain injury, his family said.
"His right leg is broken in four places. His left leg was totally shattered. On Monday he had a very extensive surgery that inserted rods, pins, etc., to piece the leg together with hardware inside and outside," said Hatfield's aunt, Betty Colson.
Police said surveillance video taken from nearby cameras showed the car traveling through the intersection, slowing down slightly after the crash and then taking off. The video is in black and white, so investigators said they can't make out the type or color of the car.
One witness described the suspected vehicle as a compact four-door car, while a second witness described it as blue or tan, possibly a station wagon. Police said a lack of evidence has made the investigation difficult.
"There was no debris left behind -- no skid marks, no signs of any braking," said police spokeswoman Elena Russo.
Colson has spent the days since the crash passing out flyers and pleading with anyone with information to come forward.
"Anyone could have had this accident, hit someone in the dark wearing a dark jacket. But when you pulled away and left him, that was something that you did intentionally. You had the opportunity to do the right thing, but the accident is over, and you haven't. We are begging you to do the right thing," she said.
State police said it's not clear if the traffic light was red or green or where exactly Hatfield was crossing when he was hit. Investigators said the car that hit him should have significant damage.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper First Class Meekins at 410-386-3000.

Pressalit AutoClose Toilet Seat
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech

Pressalit's AutoClose features infrared sensors that keeps the cover open when someone is in the room and quietly closes it when he/she leaves.

"[…] my own favorite (and one of my daughters' favorite) books about being a "gender variant" kid, 10,000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert. Bailey is a little girl whose family are all convinced that she is a boy. At night she dreams of beautiful dresses and by day she tries to share her visions with the world. Her family all refuse to listen, but in the end, she meets someone who understands and together they make her dream designs come true."
—Lesbian Family
"I loved the way the author referred to Bailey as "her" throughout the book, which struck me as a simple way to introduce children to this topic."

Singer, show-woman, fashion icon and her own best stylist… is there no end to Róisín Murphy's talents? Stephanie Rafanelli meets a musical maverick of many, many guises
It's not often that a girl can truly say she relishes such a comment as: 'I love your dress - it's got that real touch of the white trash about it.' But when the remark comes from the pop singer and all-round style icon Róisín Murphy it becomes the sort of compliment with which you can bore strangers at parties for years. And so I try not to blush, at the Stella photo-shoot, when the slender, honey-haired Murphy adds in a smoker's drawl, 'It's what the Texan wife would wear in that Coen brothers' film No Country for Old Men.'
Murphy then pads off in bare feet, hairgrips and a beige bra to ferret through a rail of Vivienne Westwood and Yves Saint Laurent, and Philip Treacy objet d'art hats, before throwing on a mismatched tweed jacket and feathered headdress as if she were late for a meeting and just running out the door. She looks fabulous. For a second we all stare in awe; then an Iggy Pop track bursts on the radio and she starts head-banging violently from the vertiginous heights of a pair of Jonathan Kelsey heels.
Such behaviour is typical Murphy, and has led to the press labelling her 'quirky' and even 'a nutter'. But for those who 'get' her, it's what makes her a star. Now others, it seems, are finally beginning to get it, too: at the age of 35 and after 13 years in the industry, first as the frontwoman of the arty boyfriend-girlfriend dance-music duo Moloko, Murphy is becoming more widely recognised as a musical maverick. Her second solo album, 'Overpowered', was critically acclaimed, and earned her comparisons to Kylie, Madonna and Gwen Stefani. Yet it's hard to think of Róisín (pronounced Roe-sheen) Murphy as mainstream. She writes and produces her own music, and likes to style her own shoots. There aren't many female singers who would appear in a video brushing their teeth on the loo in a giant inflatable black-and-white checked Gareth Pugh ensemble, or look as good in it (as she did for the song Overpowered).
There is, however, more to Murphy's theatrical antics than mere eccentricity; they have more in common with the performance art of the singer Grace Jones and the role-play of the feminist photographer Cindy Sherman (who depicts herself in self-portraits as the lead actress in a series of film stills). Today, now decked out in a Viktor & Rolf winter coat, thigh-high boots and swooping winged coronet, Murphy enacts Tippi Hedren in The Birds, radiating gooey sexual chemistry at the lens. She shifts from one reference to another, transforming each outfit as if with a flick of her transparent-blue eyes.
'I don't really know if I am thought of as a style icon,' she says, visibly shrinking into her chair in an old-fashioned boozer some time later. 'I don't feel like that at all. Music comes first, but I also just enjoy being creative in whatever I'm doing, be it wearing clothes, making images or performing. I just wouldn't enjoy standing there like a paper doll, having someone else stick paper dresses on me. That would be no fun.' (Even her accent defies definition, flitting between Irish R's, by 'eck northernisms and dropped Cockney T's.)
In a world in which women such as Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes frequently appear in (the same) head-to-toe straight-off-the-catwalk looks, Murphy's ability to animate designer creations has won her friends in the highest echelons of fashion. One of those friends is Frida Giannini, the creative director of Gucci, who chose Murphy to represent Gucci at the Swarovski Fashion Rocks event last October and who approached her to record a cover of Bryan Ferry's Slave to Love for this autumn's Gucci by Gucci men's fragrance campaign. 'They asked me to play at the Gucci party in Milan [in June], and I was wearing this beautiful floor-length beaded gown and I had my hair up in this classic do,' says Murphy. 'I floated elegantly out on stage - and the next thing you know I'd hitched up my skirt and I was doing "the running man" [a comedy dance reminiscent of a Charlie Chaplin chase scene]. My performance is always about mixed messages.' She chuckles. 'It reflects the complexity of life… Humour is ahead of everything creatively. I think if things aren't humorous they are just crap.'
Humour, complexity and music are three things that featured heavily throughout Murphy's upbringing in small-town Arklow in County Wicklow, Ireland. Her grandmother, a progressive woman who wore mannish suits, ran her late grandpa's entertainment businesses, a restaurant and a snooker hall. Her Uncle Jim played in a jazz trio, and her father, an 'entrepreneur', was a born performer. 'He should have been Terry Wogan - he's got a singing voice like Guinness,' Murphy says, sighing. For the Murphys any excuse was a good excuse for a knees-up. The young Róisín always dreaded the inevitable special request: a solo rendition of Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
When Murphy was 12 the family moved to Manchester, and it was there, bullied by the girls at school, that she began fully to embrace being 'different', wearing head-to-toe 1960s clothing and exploring the Madchester nightlife. When her parents separated in 1988 and her mother, an antiques dealer, returned to Arklow, Murphy asked her if she could stay behind, lodging with a friend. In 1990 she moved to Sheffield with the intention of enrolling in art college.
Murphy only stumbled into the music industry - falling madly in love at the same time - in 1994, when she sidled up to an older man at a party in Sheffield with the chat-up line: 'Do you like my tight sweater?' The man turned out to be the music producer Mark Brydon and 'Do You Like My Tight Sweater?' became the first of four albums (and included the club anthems Sing It Back and Time Is Now) that they would produce together as Moloko, before splitting romantically in 2001 and professionally in 2003. 'Moloko was a relationship at first, not a career,' says Murphy. 'We were just falling more in love, and making music was a by-product of that. We had a ball. But after we broke up as a couple I got scared that this could be my last chance to make music. That was the moment I thought, "What I'm doing is right. I am a performer." Suddenly I got really focused.'
After the last Moloko gig Murphy began working with the producer Matthew Herbert, and in 2005 released the experimental jazz record 'Ruby Blue', which won her critical acclaim, and a deal with EMI for a second album.
Did she miss Mark after going solo? 'Of course. I still miss him.' But she doesn't still love him? 'Do I still love him in a sexy way? Oh no, I love him in a sexy way. He's a sexy man. He was a massive part of my life,' Murphy says, smiling. 'He's never said a word about my music… We just meet at weddings and funerals. We're not going to get together to talk about music, not any time soon.'
Murphy now lives in down-to-earth Cricklewood in north-west London with the artist Simon Henwood, who painted Murphy for the cover of 'Ruby Blue' and directed the video for her forthcoming single, Movie Star. 'Simon's brilliant. I think I'm a bit of a nightmare to go out with, to be honest. I'm so passionate and have big highs and big lows. Being Irish is a bit like being Italian: "Whadda ya trying to do with my mind?"' she says, throwing her hands wildly in the air in mimicry of herself.
But at the moment things are going extremely well for her, and the success of 'Overpowered' has signalled a serious bid for mainstream stardom. 'I would love to be a massive cult, I won't lie to you,' Murphy exclaims with a grin, peering over her pint. 'But I'm not looking for adoration in the way that nine-year-olds are. What's important to me is being creative - on a scale that's relevant to people.'
Kylie is, of late, the singer to whom she has most often been compared - how does she feel about that? '[The singer-songwriter] Kate Nash said something brilliant recently - she said: "You know, being a woman isn't a genre." I thought that was genius. If I was a man they wouldn't compare me to Will Young.' She pauses. 'I'm not there to shake my booty - I mean I do shake my booty - but I'm not there to be just a "woman" singer.'
Shake her booty she does. Murphy has played 22 festivals in the past two months alone. Her stage performances are electrifying: high-energy affairs packed with robotic dancing, head-banging and myriad cutting-edge outfits, from a Shadows & Dust leather jumpsuit to Martin Margiela's futuristic 'spacesuit'. 'Sometimes I wonder if my body is physically capable of doing what it's doing,' she says, looking momentarily weary. 'But I've actually got a lot more stamina now than when I was younger.'
In October last year Murphy sustained a serious eye injury while vigorously head-banging at a gig in Moscow, and had to undergo corrective surgery. Last month she turned 35 - would she ever be tempted to have a little help so that she continues to look as young as she behaves? 'I've got crap teeth, crap hair, I never have facials. I still have hairs in the middle of my eyebrows,' she says, giggling. 'I need to start shaving in a few places before I think about Botox.' She breaks into an ironic rendition of You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman.
There's more of the 'natural' Murphy to come, it seems. She has recently bought a house in the Irish countryside, which her mum has helped her furnish. Having always been thought of as a party girl, could Róisín Murphy be mellowing with age? 'I've upset my parents a few times in the past year because I've been swearing or done an interview pissed-up after a gig, and I really, really regret that. But my dad always says to my mum [she adopts a County Wicklow brogue]: "At least she's not that Amy Winehouse."' She adds: 'I've had times when I'm a party girl - and I even have the odd week now - but I'm a real homebody. I love me boyfriend, and I love me dog, and I love trimming the roses.'
She delves into her bag. 'Oh, I'm gaggin' for a fag, darling.' And with that she's off. Leaving me to picture her pruning roses in the rolling Irish landscape in a Viktor & Rolf number and YSL stilettos, like some beautiful, curious Edward Scissorhands.
- 'Movie Star'/'Slave to Love' double A-side is released on 29 September. Róisín Murphy's new tour begins in November
- Jacket and shirt by Alexander McQueen, from Selfridges. Trousers by Yves Saint Laurent. Shoes by Jonathan Kelsey. Stylist: Hew Hood. Hair and make-up: Emma Day, using Tommy Guns and Crème de la Mer. Location: the Ragged School

Lakeland College has been awarded an $880,000 grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to help fund a $1.2 million program to train 20 teachers from the African nation of Malawi at the master's degree level. The program will be officially announced in Malawi and the United States this week.
Participants will be current language arts instructors at Malawi's six teacher training colleges and will study at Lakeland's main campus for the master of education (M.Ed.) degree with a focus on early grade reading instruction.
"Lakeland has a proud history of responding to the needs of communities it serves, and we are honored to be given the chance to improve literacy in Malawi through our graduate programs," said Lakeland College President Dan Eck. "We are delighted that USAID has entrusted us to partner with them to serve the people of Malawi."
The first cohort of 10 teachers will arrive in Wisconsin this June. A second cohort of 10 will arrive in June 2015. Coursework in Wisconsin will last 13 months, followed by research activities in Malawi for an additional five months. After receiving the M.Ed. degree, the graduates will lead efforts in teacher training to improve early grade reading instruction in Malawi's primary schools.
Raising early grade literacy rates in developing nations is one of USAID's main educational goals worldwide. The Lakeland program will complement a $24 million USAID-sponsored program, the Early Grade Reading Activity (EGRA), already underway in Malawi and coordinated by RTI International from the Durham-Raleigh-Chapel Hill area of North Carolina. RTI International is one of the largest non-profit organizations providing research and technical services around the world.
The primary goal of EGRA and RTI International is to assist the government of Malawi to improve and sustain reading performance in students in grades 1 to 3. EGRA involves school-based activities, community and parent activities and policy development to improve long-term literacy rates.
Malawi is a country of 17 million people in southeastern Africa. It is the size of Pennsylvania. Nearly 45 percent of the population is under the age of 15. Malawi ranks 221 out of 229 countries in the world for per capita GDP/purchasing power at $900 per year, according to the CIA's World Factbook.
Lakeland professors Jeff Elzinga and Mehraban Khodavandi will lead the Malawi program. Khodavandi, a professor of education and chair of the college's education division, noted that while significant education reform has taken place in Malawi during the past decade, an inadequate number of qualified teachers and budget constraints have hampered additional progress.
"Malawi's current education system emphasizes reading instruction, but most teachers have no specific training in reading pedagogy, and that makes this program even more significant," Khodavandi said. "This teacher inadequacy is particularly noticeable in the area of reading teachers and reading specialists from the elementary school level through their teacher training colleges.
"This program addresses those deficiencies by incorporating the cooperation of Lakeland College, USAID and the Malawian government to provide a significant impact to Malawi's education system, as well as its cultural, literacy and social development."
Lakeland College has a long association with enhancing educational efforts in Malawi. From 1999-2012, in another partnership with USAID, Lakeland provided full education scholarships for 55 students from Malawi, permitting those students the opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree at the Sheboygan campus.
Those Lakeland graduates returned to Malawi and assumed positions as lecturers at the country's teacher training colleges, instructing thousands of Malawi's future primary school teachers over the past several years. Many of the Lakeland graduates also went on to receive master's degrees from universities in Malawi, the U.S., the U.K. and other countries. A few are currently completing doctorate degrees.
Courses in the Lakeland M.Ed. program will be taught by full-time Lakeland faculty members, as well as by adjunct faculty, including certified reading specialists and school administrators from area public school systems.
"Training teachers and assisting in areas where there are critical needs are two of the things Lakeland does best," said Elzinga, a professor of writing at Lakeland, and chair of its general studies division. "I'm thrilled the college will have another opportunity to do both, and assisting with early grade literacy efforts is particularly important."
Sheboygan County teachers who are interested in obtaining graduate-level education credits and learning more about teaching practices and educational systems in Africa have access to a limited number of places in the courses with the Malawian teachers during the summer, fall and spring terms 2014-16. Anyone seeking more information about the Malawi Program should contact Elzinga at 920-565-1281, or email him at .
This program is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development. The contents of this press release are the responsibility of Lakeland College and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government.

Metta World Peace hit three early 3-pointers to spark a Los Angeles barrage from long range, and the Lakers scored 36 points before Kobe Bryant took his first shot in a 115-89 blowout of the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night.
Bryant, the league's leading scorer, finished with 19 once he did start shooting as the Lakers hit the century mark for the first time in four games under hobbled coach Mike D'Antoni.
The Lakers won for the first time in five road games and avoided their worst start away from home in nearly 20 years.
O.J. Mayo, who led the league in 3-pointers going in, was 0 of 5 from long range and finished with 13 points. Vince Carter led Dallas with 16.

The Lafourche Parish school system is involved in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit involving the recruitment of Filipino teachers to Louisiana under financially abusive circumstances but isn't likely responsible for wrongdoing, attorneys said.
The Lafourche Parish school system is involved in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit involving the recruitment of Filipino teachers to Louisiana under financially abusive circumstances but isn't likely responsible for wrongdoing, attorneys said.
The controversy surrounds Universal Placement International, a Los Angeles recruiting firm that allegedly exploited 350 Filipino teachers its recruiters brought to Louisiana schools.
The lawsuit claims the firm charged the teachers an initial fee of $5,000, well more than a year's salary in the Philippines. After the teachers had already paid that amount, the company began adding other mandatory charges totaling $16,000.
To pay the fees, the company set up the teachers with private lenders charging interest rates as high as 40 percent, said Jim Knoepp, an attorney with the Southern Policy Law Center. The firm then forced the teachers to sign a contract to pay 10 percent of their second year's salary, threatening teachers who protested with financial penalties and deportation.
The Southern Policy Law Center and the American Federation of Teachers prosecuted the case on the teachers' behalf.
"The practices involved in this case — labor contracts signed under duress and other arrangements reminiscent of indentured servitude — are things that should have no place in 21st century America," AFT president Randi Weingarten said in a statement.
Knoepp said the teachers had a "terrible choice" — either pay the steadily skyrocketing fees or bow out and struggle to pay off existing debts with a weak salary in the Philippines.
A federal jury in Los Angeles found the arrangement was illegal, forcing Universal Placement to pay the teachers $4.5 million and nullifying much of their contracts.
Knoepp said the Lafourche school system, which received some of the teachers, will most likely not face any kind of sanctions because it was unintentionally caught up in the exploitation.
"It's very likely that Lafourche had no idea what was going on behind the scenes," he said.
Lafourche schools spokesman Floyd Benoit said the school district had no idea of the sketchy circumstances that lead the teachers to Lafourche.
"This is something we got caught up in unintentionally," Benoit said. "We're doing everything to make sure that we aren't involved in anything wrong."
Most of the teachers were originally brought to East Baton Rouge Parish, Knoepp said. But delays in processing the teachers' work visas meant more than 100 of them went to various school systems throughout the state — including Lafourche.
Knoepp said East Baton Rouge Parish could face trouble with the U.S. Department of Labor because there is evidence the school system knew of the fees but turned a blind eye.
"The law says that if you are paying people on a salary scale, then you have to pay the initial recruitment fees if you're going to bring in employees," Knoepp said. "The recruiters knew the school district didn't have the money to pay their initial fee."

If you are like 80% of professional photographers, then your answer is most likely yes to the first two questions, and no to the last.
I want to show you how to be in the 20% of professional photographers who consistently deliver beautifully finished albums to every one of their clients. Id like to show you how you can discuss, present and sell albums effectively, and also how to make a great income from doing so.
In case you still need a bit convincing on the importance of albums, there are three foundational benefits in having your clients walk away from their photographic experience with an album:
1. Your client gets a beautiful finished product that will stand the test of time.
2. Your artistry is properly presented and preserved.
3. Album sales can significantly contribute to your bottom line.
Fundamentals to Selling Albums
The title to this article is admittedly slightly misleading. Lets be honest no one wants to be sold to, and so you have to approach the idea of selling albums with the right intent. When you do, and when you pay attention to all of the details well discuss in this article, then every one of your clients will happily choose to purchase an album. Thats how you create clients for life allowing them to purchase what they want versus manipulating them through a stingy sales process.
There are four key fundamentals in offering albums to your clients that will set you in the right direction.
Album Sales Fundamental #1 Every bride wants an album
Lets face it whether your bride purchases an album from you or not, she wants an album. Period. Albums are so engrained in the tradition of wedding photography, that it is almost assumed to always be the end product. As a professional photographer, its your job to show the value, build excitement and educate your clients through the process so that they choose to purchase an album through you vs doing it themselves.
Which brings us nicely to the second fundamental in offering albums to your clients
Album Sales Fundamental #2 Give brides something they cant get themselves
There are many great options on the consumer market for brides looking to put together their own albums, and theres even decent free design software that makes it relatively easy to actually lay out the album themselves. We know these are sub-quality offerings, but the many brides will likely be considering this as an option. As a professional photographer, you need to be offering albums (and a process) that is radically different (and better) than what your clients can get (and do) on their own.
Fundamental #3 Make it easy to buy
One of the main reasons your clients dont purchase albums from you is because you dont make it easy for them to do so. Theres an idea called the paradox of choice, that says when were overwhelmed with options, well often choose none. The same can be true for the process you offer as a means to make those decisions. You must make it easy for your clients to buy. Here are the four ways you might be making it not easy to buy, and you need to look at the reverse of each in order to optimize the process:
- You have too many options.
- You dont have a clear way of communicating the options.
- Your process is complicated.
- You put too many barriers in the way.
- Simplify and systematize the process and youll make it much easier to successfully sell albums.
Fundamental #4 Believe in albums yourself
This might be one of the biggest shifts you can make in successfully selling albums you must believe in them yourself! When you dont believe in the value and importance of an album yourself, itll come across (perhaps subconsciously) to your clients, and youll appear unsure, disingenuous and pushy. Get yourself on board with the concept of albums and believe in their value. If you dont fundamentally believe in them, then dont offer them, simple as that.
Ive talked a lot about educating your clients, building value first and setting expectations in the past. These principles also equally apply in selling wedding albums education, setting expectations and repetition is key!
There are five different stages during the client lifecycle that you can be injecting a conversation about the album in: the pre-inquiry, the inquiry, the consultation, on the wedding day and after the wedding. Id suggest that you define points along the way where you can intentionally discuss, show and mention the wedding album. It gives you excuses to talk about the album, set the client expectations, educate and build value.
Here are 11 sample steps and moments throughout a typical process where you can have an excuse to talk about the album:
1. Give albums to vendors to show off your work.
2. Show photos of albums on your website.
3. Talk about your albums on your website.
4. Mention albums in your first response to a clients inquiry.
5. Show albums in your studio during the meet-and-greet.
6. Talk about the importance of albums during the consultation.
7. Build albums into your wedding collections.
8. Mention the album again at the wedding.
9. Re-iterate that you cant wait to design the album when you say your goodbyes at the end of the wedding.
10. Mention the album after the wedding when you send proofs. Send a pre-design when (or before) you send the proofs.
11. If you mail digital proofs, include a card that says enjoy these while you wait for your album to come.
I promise that when youre this intentional and purposeful in making the wedding album such a big part of your business, theres no way your clients wouldnt want one.
Communication: Verbiage and language
Language, verbiage and effective communication skills are crucial to success in selling. Its the difference between coming across as a sleazy manipulative salesperson and being a genuinely persuasive communicator. Note: the difference between manipulation and persuasion is this: in manipulation, one person wins and the other loses, whereas with persuasion, both people win.
I never teach about the tactics of sales because I simply dont believe in sales tactics. You should never come across as sales-y, scripted or rehearsed and you certainly dont want to be manipulative.
I believe that success sales is about adopting the right mindset, choosing the right words and communicating in an effective manner. Below are 4 tools you can adopt for your voice and in your tone. Note that these are not hard tactics or sales techniques, but instead ideas that you can take into consideration and concepts that may give you inspiration in framing the album conversation with your clients.
1. Remember that every bride ultimately does want an album, so assume that theyll be getting an album in your conversations with them. Talk as if the album is a given.
2. Talk down or deemphasize other options such as digital files. Explain the benefits of having a beautiful finished album vs files that will be left on a hard drive to die.
3. Paint the picture of your client having an album. Describe a situation or ask question as if they already have the album, and get them to visualize what that may look like.
4. Talk about how others always get the album. Success breeds success and when its understood that the album is what most people get, its something that is inherently more attractive.

16 Attic Design Ideas to Take Your Space Way Beyond Storage
Is your attic currently only being used for storage? If so, you're not alone. Too many of us are guilty of taking older or rarely used items and burying them up in the attic, never to be thought of again. Unfortunately, though, while this organizational method may be common, it's causing us to miss out on a great opportunity to create something special.
In fact, your attic may have more potential than any unused space in your home. When remodeled correctly, it can be transformed into anything you can dream up, from a much-needed home office to a full-on studio space that's perfect for hosting longer-term guests.
Looking for a little inspiration? Check out the innovative attic design ideas below.
Build a sleek and functional home office
Create a laid-back playroom or teen hangout space
Give the kids (or grandkids) a bedroom of their own
Go big with a studio or in-law suite

Cool Futuristic Style Home Interiors
We've all seen the futuristic interior design ideas splashed across space and time travel movies, and gradually these aesthetics are becoming a reality. Heads are being turned by new ideas on furniture design, and minimalist hidden storage ideas are adding to the mix to forge the way forward. What exactly does home style of the future look like? See for yourself with these futuristic interiors that offer us two quite different takes on the theme. The first encompasses stark white decor in an angular living space. The second is a softer transition into the future, with some familiar furniture silhouettes and colour relief mixed in with geometric influence and fresh thinking.
Designer: Anfei Chen
Our first home design project, entitled the 'Crystal' Apartment, is a dramatic change from the soft surroundings that we've become accustomed to. Triangular cuts and folded edges create a strong visual impact, almost as though the interior was formed by a master of origami. The paper art theme is continued over in the window dressing too, where window blinds have cutaways to create a unique undulating pattern from end to end. The unique coffee table appears like a giant broken shard of mirrored glass.
One end of the sofa is raised like a cantilevered deck, echoing the same design feature as the neighbouring coffee table.
Angled cutaways in the wall and ceiling create plains for extra light sources, which help bathe the arctic white room with brightness and reflection over its ice-smooth floor. Stainless mirrors and dimming glasses have been implemented to increase the look of space.
One of the cutaway angles acts as a bench seat opposite the sofa. Other occasional seating in the room comes in the form of two small white drum stools, which have a folded paper look around their base.
The sofa is shaped almost like a lightning strike, with one end impacting against a wall with an accessible shelf on which to place books and drinks.
A control panel is concealed in a wall that marks the transition into the kitchen.
The white bedroom incorporates all of the same design elements as the living area, including geometric cutaways and the undulating profile of privacy blinds…
… This is because the bed is located directly behind the sofa, making the entire apartment one single open plan living space. The open flow makes every millimeter count in the limited dimensions of this apartment, allowing the eye to absorb the whole space from corner to corner – even the bathroom can be seen through a glass panel.
The dining area is an irregular shaped breakfast bar, teamed with angular kitchen counter stools.
The breakfast bar light is a set of minimalist pendant lights.
Inside the bathroom, folded edges make the toilet look like a modern art sculpture. An irregular shaped basin sits on the modern bathroom vanity.
We can see from the home plan that the bathtub also has a bespoke outline.
Designer: Martins Architect
A young couple resides in this Italian Quarter townhouse in Kiev. One of the homeowners is the head of an advanced IT company, which inspired the home designers to focus on technical progress and functionality. As well as having an ultra modern interior style, the apartment meets all of the requirements of a smart home. All the building elements are connected by one system so the owners can use just one smartphone app to maintain control of the security system, monitor the heating system with a heat pump, regulate central ventilation and air conditioning, and manage lighting and electrical appliances at any time, wherever they might be in the world.
The 250 square metre home is decorated with a base of gallery white and deepest black, with an overlay of bright furniture and colourful illumination. A diode light changes color to suit the mood of the owners and the time of day.
Feature walls have been lit from below to emphasise texture and colour. This enormous dining table light has a crunched effect to its shade for an angular look.
The staircase balustrade continues the free-formed angular look. This two-storey townhouse has one open plan social space on the ground floor, with a private zone upstairs. The home has twelve rooms and a terrace on each level. At the bottom of the staircase a pixelated work of art plays on the theme of computer technology, the inspiration for this home interior.
A large table has three dining chairs to one side, and three desk chairs surrounding another two sides. Flat fronted, handle-free cupboard doors subtly conceal their secret contents.
One ergonomic desk chair faces a stand holding dual computer screens. An undulating ceiling pendant lights the whole area.
In the master bedroom there is a soft feature wall that supports a modern wall sconce at each side of the bed; these are the Scantling Wall Light. The bed itself is a cosy loosely upholstered design in contrast to the rest of the smooth minimalist room decor. A bright yellow powder-coated metal shelving unit displays a few special items.
A bespoke window seat has been created as part of the window frame, extending out from the wall like a shelf.
The bathroom is a charcoal grey and white affair with warm wooden accent furniture.
The double sink bathroom vanity has one continuous surface that dips away for the basins.
A walk in shower spans the length of the bathroom.

The idea of "slow art" has its origins in the "slow food" movement centered on the enjoyment and appreciation of food that began in Italy in the late 1980s. The aim of the slow art movement is to break from the frenetic pace of modern life to simply enjoy works of art in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Led by a Modern docent the third Friday of each month, Slow Art at the Modern features a 30-minute tour beginning at 5:30 pm that focuses on one work of art.
Continue the discussion afterward with happy hour at Café Modern, featuring half-price beer and wine and discounted appetizers.

A sure measure of Android's growing popularity as a mobile operating system can be found in the amount of attention hackers and cyber criminals pay it. And in recent months, that's been a lot of attention, according to security company F-Secure's latest "Mobile Threat Report."
In the past year, the number of new families and variants of malware for Android have nearly quadrupled, from 10 to 37, while the number of malicious Android application package files skyrocketed from 139 to 3,063, a pace the report calls "staggering."
Among other key finding in the report, Trojan horses are by far the most common mobile threat, and, in the first quarter of 2012, the number of mobile threats motivated by profit dwarfed those with other purposes.

For Android users, which includes a growing number of people in government, the problem isn't just quantity but quality. F-Secure said that Android malware-writers have gotten better at evading detection by antivirus signature programs while changing application names for their malware and distributing Trojans via popular apps.
Trojans, in fact, made up 84 percent of the mobile malware F-Secure detected in the first quarter. Far behind in second place were hack tools, with 6 percent; followed by spyware at 4 percent; and malicious applications, adware and Trojan downloaders each at 2 percent.
The prime motivation for the malware writers is, not surprisingly, money, according to the report. "The majority of malware discovered in Android markets are SMS-sending malware that reap profit from sending messages to premium numbers," the report states. Most of it comes from third-party app stores, although a few malicious apps have gotten onto Google Play (formerly know as the Android Marketplace).
In fact, perhaps the largest Android-based infection was delivered in January through what was then still know as the Android Marketplace. Malicious code contained in 13 applications on the marketplace quickly spread to more than 5 million phones, though it apparently didn't cause much damage.
The rise of malware for Android and other mobile operating systems is a concern for agencies that are turning to mobile devices to improve efficiency and keep up with their workforces. But agencies also are making plans to keep the devices secure.
In 2011, a research team from Google, George Mason University and the National Security Agency developed a secure kernel for Android 3.0 that could be used in military operations and emergency response. And companies such as Good Technology and ActivIdentity have released two-factor authentication and credentialing apps for Android and Apple iOS.

Edges of Empire Biographical Dictionary
of Convict Women from beyond the British Isles
Edited by Lucy Frost and Colette McAlpine
Who would have thought that a slave in British Hondurus would end up as a female convict in Van Diemen's Land? Or that two cousins, the oldest aged 12, would be transported from their native Mauritius all the way to New South Wales? And why was a French-born woman with the extravagant name Emme Felicite Gabrielle Chardonez Mallohomme sentenced at London's Old Bailey to transportation for life?
Edges of Empire is a Biographical Dictionary offering accounts of many of these convicts among nearly 200 others who were tried or born outside the British Isles. All were transported to the Australian colonies of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land between 1788 and 1853. Their life stories have been tracked from numerous sources around the world, sometimes in detail and sometimes with the merest trace of their existence. The contributors to the Biographical Dictionary are researchers of the Female Convicts Research Centre, based in Hobart, Tasmania. For more information go to: http://www.femaleconvicts.org.au.
In addition to the Biographical Dictionary, which includes all the women for whom information has become available, the more in-depth and comprehensive study, From the Edges of Empire: Convict Women from beyond the British Isles, is available in paperback from Convict Women's Press Inc.
Feature Story:
Smith, Ann
Ann Smith (1815?-?)
by Steve Rhodes
On 22 April 1851, Ann Smith was tried at the High Court of Justiciary in Ayr, Scotland, for the crime of the theft of blankets from a Mr Campbell. She had prior convictions for house-breaking and stealing beef for which she had received prison sentences of 12 months and 60 days respectively, so when she was found guilty of the most recent crime the magistrate had no hesitation in sentencing her to transportation for 7 years.
Ann was described as being 5 feet 1¾ inches (156.85 cm) tall, a Protestant, plain cook of fair complexion, with light brown to grey hair and hazel eyes. There is some conjecture as to the actual year of birth for Ann Smith, as different ages are recorded on various documents. The earliest results in a birth year of about 1815 and the latest about 1825. She was born in the East Indies, probably to Scottish parents who were from a military background. Evidence for this possibility can be found in the convict indent for Ann, which notes that she had a brother, William, in the 72nd Regiment. This regiment, also known as Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders, had been stationed in the East Indies between 1781 and 1798. Out of the 973 soldiers who originally embarked, 274 died on the voyage out and only 369 were fit for service upon arrival in Madras. At the end of their term, most soldiers returned to England, however, 425 decided to stay on in India. This may have included Anne's parents.
The convict ship Anna Maria departed England on 8 October 1851 with 200 female convicts and 46 children of convicts, and arrived in Van Diemen's Land on 26 January 1852. The voyage endured rough weather all the way to the Cape and its fair share of sickness, mostly dysentery, resulting in nine deaths, six of whom were children. Some of the illness, according to the ship's surgeon, W. McCrea, could be attributed to the change in diet from prison to the ship and the poor quality of food on board. Several of the children were from workhouses and were already malnourished. Ann had two children, one of whom is known to have been on board, but neither she nor the child appears on the ship's sick-list.
Shortly after arrival, W.R. Wade of Elizabeth Street, Hobart, employed Ann. Her son, George McMullen, aged 8, was admitted to Queen's Orphan School where he remained until 28 March 1853. His father is noted as George McMullen. On 9 August 1852 Ann, describing herself as a 27-year-old widow, married 29-year-old William Thompson, a bricklayer, in Hobart. The couple had three children in Hobart, an unnamed male born 12 December 1852, Elizabeth born 15 June 1854, and an unnamed female born 13 July 1856.
Ann received her ticket of leave on 8 August 1854, and remained clear of any major trouble during her period of sentence, the only blemish on her record being an instance of drunkenness, for which she was fined, on 26 April 1855 in Hobart.
Having a common name makes it difficult to be able to trace Ann or any of her family with any certainty, the last confirmed sighting of her being the birth of her daughter in 1856.

Vote Pro-Life Coalition Statement
Date: October 5, 2010
There can be no truce on abortion
Some pro-life politicians and candidates for office have drawn national attention by calling for a truce on abortion to allow them to concentrate on jobs, housing and other issues.
This is a proposal the Vote Pro-Life Coalition cannot accept. There can be no truce.
A truce would suggest there are issues more important than life, that abortion is somehow a negotiable issue. It is not. In fact, the heart and core and foundation of every issue is precisely the dignity of the human person and his or her right to life.
The Vote Pro-Life Coalition therefore reaffirms that there is no issue more important than life, and that abortion is not negotiable.
We reiterate the necessity of electing pro-life candidates; such candidates never shy away from explicitly dealing with the abortion issue.

Inmate shot, killed inside Walworth County hospital
Family says Alfredo Villarreal's feet were shackled; sheriff disputes that
The inmate at the center of a shooting at a Walworth County hospital died at the scene Monday night, according to the Walworth County Sheriff's Office.
He has been identified as Alfredo Emilio Villarreal, 18, from Janesville.
According to the Walworth County Sheriff's Office, Villarreal attacked a deputy in an attempt to escape from Lakeland Medical Center, and punched and kicked the deputy in the face multiple times.
The deputy called for assistance at about 6:47 p.m., and several law enforcement agencies responded to the medical center.
Walworth County Sheriff David Graves said his deputy tried to stun Villareal with a Taser, but for some reason, still under investigation, that option failed.
"The inmate grabbed a chair, tried to bust the window out so he could escape out the window. When my deputy reentered the room, the inmate used a chair, swung the chair at my deputy's head, at which time the deputy had no other choice but to use his weapon," Graves said.
Lifesaving measures were immediately implemented by law enforcement and medical staff.
Liz Villarreal told WISN 12 News her brother was taken into custody Sunday night after a traffic stop, but had a medical problem while in the Walworth County Jail on Monday.
"He had a seizure in the morning and about, I'd say they told him about 3 p.m., or so, that he tried attacking the officer or something, and then the Taser didn't work and the officer shot him," Villarreal said.
Relatives said they were informed Villarreal had shackles around his feet during the alleged altercation.
The sheriff disputed that.
"He had been shackled to the bed, but that shackle was released so he could use the restroom," Graves said.
"So his legs, his ankles and his feet were not shackled together?" WISN 12 News reporter Abe Lubetkin asked.
"No," Graves said.
"His hands were not shackled" Lubetkin asked.
"No," Graves said.
The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office is now investigating the shooting.
Family members said Villarreal had a child on the way.
