Emma looks forward to finishing up her internship with the Movers & Shakers Gala, assisting with Lakeland's Summer Orientation Program and then moving to the Madison area to pursue a career in business. "I will miss being able to see the college grow," she says. "It has grown so much over the last four years and overcome many different things. Lakeland isn't just a college. With its strong foundation and values, it's a community and a family; one that I am so honored to be part of."

She writes, "The thing that I will miss most about Lakeland is the family/community feel here. It was so easy to meet people, talk to professors and get involved here on campus. I'm going to miss the athletic events where you can cheer on your friends. I'm going to miss those late night runs to Walmart to pick up junk food for random movie nights in Brotz. I'm going to miss that incredibly short 5-minute walk to class, in which you would see 15 people you know along the way. I'm going to miss those fall days where you want to spend all day outside whether it's on the beach, playing volleyball outside the apartments or going to an outdoor concert on campus. I think the better question is: what am I not going to miss? And that I could not answer for you."

I have been in the presence of success in so many different ways here at Lakeland and it has impressed upon me an understanding of the benefits gained through the discipline of hard work. For this, I am truly grateful. I will miss the genuine compassion, commitment and pride that people take at Lakeland in facilitating the growth of exceptional and well-rounded men and women.

I will miss the morning walks to class, the late night study sessions for Professor Killion's accounting exams, the knee-high snow drifts, the 2 a.m. RA rounds, the half-court sock shots during basketball games, the candy on Nate Dehne's desk and I might even miss the morning wake-up calls from the overly friendly campus geese. But, most of all, I will miss the many friends I have met from all over the country and all over the world. The people who are a part of the Lakeland College family are very special.

Inspired by conversations on the Food52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, more than a few tricks you'll want to have up your sleeves for the big day.
If you think about it, each Thanksgiving meal is like a play. It's acted out in scenes: each scene is a new course, and each course brings new characters, who, if all goes as planned, give applause-worthy performances.
You've already selected most of the cast: a roast bird may take the lead role, the stuffing right there next to it, fighting for the spotlight. You may even be sure of your staging. (Haven't yet figured out how to arrange everything? Take your pick.)
But like all of us, you're saving your secret weapons for last. They are the supporting roles of your meal -- the ingredients and secret techniques that never quite get the glory, but who protect the whole show from being lackluster, one-dimensional. Maybe they exist to be pulled out at the last second, but this year, let's start early, shall we?
First CourseYour soups and salads are key for setting the stage for the rest of the meal. How do you make that happen? If it's a roasted root vegetable soup, fold in some brown butter right at the end of cooking. If a salad, drizzle it with an interesting oil (like pumpkinseed, hazelnut, or walnut). Your guests will be impressed, and the rest of the meal will follow suit.
The MashThis is perhaps the most popular side on the Thanksgiving table, so tread lightly: you want to enhance just enough so it becomes more special than before, but not so much that your guests can't recognize it anymore. Try adding one big celeriac root per five pounds of potatoes, or make like the Canal House ladies, and slip little pieces of butter in. This way, guests will run into melted pockets. Watch from the other side of the table -- this will be entertaining.
The Main For a lot of us, the bird will be the height of your Thanksgiving play -- so we're giving you three tricks to have up your sleeves. Use them separately, if you like, or for extra security (read: a really delicious turkey), combine their forces.
• If you can let go of traditional presentation, spatchcocking will be your best friend. Also known as butterflying, your spatchcocked bird will cook quickly, evenly, and leave much more room in your oven for more beloved sides.
• A genius tip from our developer Amanda Li: put water, mixed with just a bit of honey, on the bottom of the roasting pan, so the bird steams as it roasts. It will stay as moist as can be.
The SauceThe secret to mastering Thanksgiving's most famous condiment is mastering more than one. Our developer Michael reminds us that making multiple relishes will have a big impact. Clearly, you can't forego the cranberry, but go a little wild on the second. (Or to Tuscany, the choice is yours.)
It's Pie TimeSaving room for pie will be even more important this year: instead of sprinkling just sugar on your apple pie, mix it with equal parts salt. Then bake, and watch it disappear.
Before you set off to prep, there are two more things you need to keep in mind for the big day. First, share the workload. Let a friend bring a pie, hand gravy duty over to whoever you make your loyal sous this Thursday. And last (but certainly not least), make enough food for leftovers. These are going to be the best sandwiches of your lives, people, and it happens once a year.
What are your go-to holiday tricks? If you're willing to share your secrets, let us know in the comments!

Grant Menke, Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (left); and Little Sioux Corn Processors CEO Steve Roe (right) meet with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) during the ACE Biofuels Beltway March fly-in.
"Corn growers should feel encouraged to learn that by and large, the RFS seems to be supported by a large percentage of members of Congress," said Brian Jennings, executive vice president, American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE), after the organization's Biofuels Beltway March last week in Washington, D.C. Some 60 people, including the president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association and several corn growers from Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota and Ohio, participated in ACE's annual legislative fly-in.
The group visited a number of congressional representatives and staffers to encourage continued support of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) as well as a level playing field with the oil industry when it comes to energy policymaking. ACE also reminded Washington officials about the importance of E15 to all Americans.
Market-driven demand helped by the RFS has enabled corn growers to find additional markets for their product. Similarly, seed and technology firms have benefitted, encouraging them to further innovate so that they can help growers to produce more corn on the same acre moving forward. "We think the future will continue to be stable for corn and other feedstocks with the RFS in place," Jennings told Farm Industry News.
Jennings was pleased to see strong support for the RFS. "A lot of members of Congress are sophisticated enough to know that the RFS isn't perfect, but on balance, it is working." Yet, some members of Congress and staffers do not fully understand the flexibility that the EPA has to make adjustments in volumes of alternative fuels required to be blended into transportation fuel as necessary, he suggested.
The ACE group received questions about last year's drought and whether Congress should step in should widespread drought continue this year. "We explained that there is a process where a waiver can be sought or that EPA itself can initiate a waiver," Jennings said. He pointed out that when court cases vacated the cellulosic portions of the RFS, EPA had the flexibility to make adjustments.
Jennings added that ACE spent time informing congressional representatives and staffers that the RFS is also not a tax incentive. In fact, the ethanol tax credit expired in 2011. The RFS is more about supporting a level playing field between alternative fuels and the oil industry when it comes to the fuel market.
There will be congressional hearings to review the RFS, starting with the House Energy & Commerce Committee. This is expected to begin after the Easter recess. The Senate will also likely hold hearings and they could continue until this fall. "We're not sure if the hearings will be balanced; too often they have not and we'll be on guard for that. We welcome fair hearings," Jennings said, adding, "We expect that the RFS will remain intact despite the oil industry spending millions to repeal it."

A bipartisan alternative to controversial anti-piracy bills now before Congress is being floated online by a handful of senators and representatives.
The Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade (OPEN) Act would treat online piracy or counterfeiting by foreign websites as an unfair trade practice under the Tariff Act of 1930 and would give enforcement authority to the U.S. International Trade Commission.
Absent from the draft act are DNS blocking provisions included in the House's Stop Online Piracy Act and the Senate's Protect IP Act. Opponents in the Internet community say those provisions are incompatible with DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC), a set of cryptographic protocols intended to secure the Domain Name System.
Related stories:
Protect IP Act would create a lot of criminals
House bill would attack online piracy, 'rogue websites'
SOPA and PIPA would require Internet service providers and search engines either to redirect traffic away from offending sites or to block it.
"Both of these remedies involve modifying DNS responses, and that is exactly what DNSSEC is designed to prevent, no matter who is doing it," said Cricket Liu, general manager of the Infoblox IPv6 Center of Excellence. "The bill seeks to codify something that we in the DNS community have been working to prevent for 15 years."
The Domain Name System maps Internet domain names such as gcn.com to numerical IP addresses and underlies nearly all Internet activities. DNSSEC enables the use of digital signatures that can be used to authenticate DNS data that is returned to query responses. This will help to combat attacks such as pharming, cache poisoning and DNS redirection that are used to misdirect traffic to malicious sites for fraud and the distribution of malware.
There has been a push to deploy DNSSEC throughout the Internet for the past four years. The Office of Management and Budget in 2008 ordered deployment of DNSSEC in all federal systems by the end of 2009, a deadline which has not been met. The .gov Top Level Domain was signed in early 2009, and DNSSEC was fully deployed by operators of the Internet's authoritative root zone in July 2010, providing a trust anchor that now can tie together "islands of trust" that have been created by the deployment of DNSSEC in other top level and secondary domains.
Requirements to interfere with DNS responses would either be impossible to comply with, or would require undoing DNSSEC, Liu said. He said the assessment is widely held by experts who understand the operation of DNSSEC.
"Infoblox could stand to benefit if the SOPA bill is passed," he said, because the company's products could perform the kind of filtering required. "And I am all in favor of copyright protection. I hold copyrights myself" on several books that have been pirated online. But requiring and enabling that kind of filtering would undermine the security of the Domain Name System, he said.
The OPEN Act was drafted by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and was posted online in December. It would halt the transfer of money to and delivery of advertisements from foreign websites that are found by the commission to be principally used for activities that infringe on the intellectual or other property rights of U.S. citizens. It would apply only to sites outside the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, and would provide a safe-harbor exemption for legitimate websites that routinely remove links to or disable access to offending sites.
The commission could issue temporary and permanent cease-and-desist orders against offending sites, and financial services providers in this country could be enjoined from providing payment services to the sites. Online advertising services also could be ordered to stop serving their ads.
In both cases, the service providers would be required only to take feasible and commercially reasonable measures to comply, and could not be required to comply if the process imposes an unreasonable technical or economic burden.
Listed supporters of the OPEN Act are, in the House:

Charlie's Chat
Charlie Manuel's sitting alone in his office around 9:30 this morning. There's a yellow pad on his desk. He's scribbled a bunch on notes on it for his talk to the entire team. Sign on clubhouse bulletin board says, "Dressed 9:45 a.m. Tuesday".
62 players pulled their chairs toward the middle of the room for the traditional opening day meeting. It all started with a bunch of introductions and a few short business-related speeches. Once all of that was out of the way, Charlie stood up with his yellow pad and went to work.
He worked the room well, turning to make sure he could look into the eyes of all the players. Charlie is a very down to earth person, he knows what he wants to say but he also knows he will ramble at times.
Throughout his talk, there were certain interesting messages delivered:
"I've always played this game and managed this game to win. Winning is where it's at."
"You young guys. You are here to make an impression, to take someone's job, to show us."
"We've got to play mentally tough….every day….162 games."
"We can look back at a great season last year. We were resilient, we battled and the fans were with us. They liked watching us play because we played hard, played the game the right way and played to win."
"How bad do we want it? There are a couple of more steps to go. How bad do we want it?"
With that he headed for the door, "Let's go."
On The Field
The usual exercises, long tossing, fielding drills, bunting in the cages, batting practice on four Carpenter Field diamonds and general conditioning took place on day 6 of spring training.
The Mike Schmidt Field featured infield practice for the "A" unit of Howard-Utley-Rollins-Feliz. One thing that caught my eye…there were four different instructional staffers hitting ground balls at the same time. It used to be one person would hit ground balls which made it a longer drill. With four fungo hitters, more was done in much less time.
Mike Schmidt was hitting grounders to Rollins, Sal Rende (hitting coordinator) to Howard, Dave Huppert (Lehigh Valley manager) to Utley and Doug Mansolino (infield coordinator) to Feliz.
Name Change
Bright House Networks Field will be phasing in a new name over the next few weeks. The word "Networks" is being dropped.

"The Hills" reality starlet Heidi Montag has taken the drama from the small screen into her Los Angeles home.
Montag called the police when her mom, Darlene Egelhoff, showed up at the star's Hollywood home unexpectedly on Thursday, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
"My mom showed up unannounced to my house when she knows I have no interest in seeing or talking with her," Montag told Access.
A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed that Egelhoff was turned away from Montag's home Thursday, according to People.
Officers arrived on the scene and advised the mother that Montag did not have to speak to her if she didn't want to, Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Leffew informed People. Then, Egelhoff left the premises.
Los Angeles Police Department did not issue any citations or arrests, according to People, but Montag is taking the incident further saying she wants a restraining order.
"I'm sick to my stomach she would even do something like this," Montag told Access. "She needs to stay away from me. I'm planning on getting a restraining order against her."
After a public dispute with Egelhoff upon returning home for the first time since surgery on this season of MTV's "The Hills," Montag says she wants nothing to do with her mom right now.
"She tore my heart out on national television," she said. "She is just trying to create drama in my life."
People magazine was unable to reach Egelhoff for comment on the story.

Or do you not care? Post tips in here (or not ) on who you might think will win.
Brazil have Ronaldinho in their ranks after AC Milan released him to go to Beijing, while the other Brazilian Diego of German club Werder Breman has given them the two fingered salute. The stupid thing is, why can't they just make it under the FIFA Guidlines and make it easier on everybody and stop these petty arguments which will end up as a full-blown falling out and I wouldn't be surprised if Breman tell Diego to GAFG now. Mind you, he has nobody but himself to blame for that.

Civil rights groups and activists sued Baton Rouge law enforcement agencies over their treatment of protesters rallying against the police shooting death of a black man, saying officers used excessive force and physically and verbally abused peaceful demonstrators.
The lawsuit, announced Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana, came hours after Cameron Sterling, the 15-year-old son of the slain man spoke publicly for the first time, calling for peaceful protests following the death of his father, 37-year-old Alton Sterling.
Sterling was shot to death July 5 as two white officers pinned him to the pavement outside a convenience store. The killing was captured on cellphone video and circulated widely on the internet, sparking widespread demonstrations across the capitol city.
Authorities arrested about 200 protesters over a three-day period, often taking to the streets in riot gear or riding in military-style vehicles. The arrests came amid heightened tensions in the city following Sterling's death, a deadly police shooting in Minnesota and the killings of five police officers in Dallas.
The governor and the Baton Rouge police chief have defended the response, with the chief saying Tuesday that authorities discovered an alleged plot against police over the weekend. Authorities said they found out about the plot after they arrested three suspects in the burglary of eight guns from a pawn shop.
The chief said one of the suspects said the burglary was carried out "to harm police officers," but he didn't give any details about when or where a possible plot would be carried out.
"We have been questioned repeatedly over the last several days about our show of force and why we have the tactics that we have. Well, this is the reason, because we had credible threats against the lives of law enforcement in this city," Police Chief Carl Dabadie said.
The lawsuit blames law enforcement for escalating the situation.
"Plaintiffs have engaged in this peaceful speech, association, and protest on the streets, sidewalks, and medians of Baton Rouge," the lawsuit read. "Unfortunately, this exercise of constitutional rights has been met with a military-grade assault on protestors' bodies and rights."
Alton Sterling's son spoke of the protests while addressing reporters Wednesday morning. Calling his father a good man, he urged protesters not to resort to violence.
"I feel that people in general, no matter what their race is, should come together as one united family," Cameron Sterling told reporters outside the store where his father died. The teen remained composed as he spoke, a contrast from a week ago when he broke down in sobs and had to be led away as his mother talked in front of television cameras about his father's death.
In the first few days after Sterling's death, police took a reserved approach to enforcement, keeping a low profile as hundreds gathered outside the convenience store where Sterling died.
But protests escalated during the weekend as demonstrations moved away from the store and into other parts of the city, marked by a show of force by law enforcement that included police wielding batons, carrying long guns and wearing shields.
The Justice Department opened a federal investigation into Sterling's death, but Justin Bamberg, an attorney for Cameron and his mother, Quinyetta McMillon, said the family also hopes state Attorney General Jeff Landry's office "one day" will get involved.
Landry said in a statement Monday he won't have access to details of the federal investigation until it's completed and a decision has been made on potential federal charges.

A week after saying the media treats "Caroline Kennedy with kid gloves" because of class, Sarah Palin had further critiques of bloggers and the media.
"Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me," the Alaska governor tells Esquire in an interview advanced on the web.
She doesn't stop there, attacking even the loathed "MSM," the mainstream media.
"I'll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig's real mom," Palin said in a "What I've Learned" Esquire interview. "And I said, Come on, are you kidding me? We're gonna answer this? Do you not believe me or my doctor? And they said, No, it's been quite cryptic the way that my son's birth has been discussed. And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism."
But the pugnacious Palin, who once famously compared herself to a pit bull, has taken a Zen-like approach to the media.
"You have to let it go," Palin told Esquire. "Even hard news sources, credible news sources — the comment about, you can see Russia from Alaska. You can! You can see Russia from Alaska. Something like that — a factual statement that was taken out of context and mocked — what you have to do is let that go."
She even showed some love to New York. She likes the Big Apple!
"I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don't we? That's an alikeness between Alaskans and New Yorkers," Palin said.
And finally, Palin said if she could do things differently she would have taken more control of the failed McCain-Palin ticket.
"If I were giving advice to myself back on the day my candidacy was announced, I'd say, Tell the campaign that you'll be callin' some of the shots," Palin told Esquire. "Don't just assume that they know you well enough to make all your decisions for ya. Let them know that you're the CEO of a state, you're forty-four years old, you've got a lot of great life experience that can be put to good use as a candidate."
It would be interesting to hear what McCain's daughter Meghan thinks of Palin's post-election analysis, but she ain't talking.
When asked about Palin, Meghan McCain responded to Monday Morning Clacker with a defeaning "no comment."
"So, no comment on the selection of Governor Sarah Palin as Senator McCain's running mate?," the blogger asked McCain, who herself blogs at McCainBlogette.com
"Sarah Palin is the only part of the campaign that I won't comment on publicly," Meghan McCain replied.

THE LONG COUNT During the 1974 annual audit of Dean Witter & Co., second largest of the Firm's brokerage clients, the San Francisco office found a way to make meaningful, challenging work out of a tedious chore — sorting 200,000 cards into good customer confirmations and customer exceptions. The confirmations are IBM cards sent to each Dean Witter customer to ascertain whether his account balances are correct. The cards are considered good if they are returned signed and in acceptable shape (not folded, spindled or mutilated), while the exceptions are those cards that have a letter attached, are not signed or are otherwise unsuitable for processing by computer. The San Francisco Dean Witter audit team, which numbers over thirty, included Dennis Wu, the manager in charge of the engagement; John Trewin who supervised the Operations Section of the audit; and Bob Archibald, Margot Fourie, Brent Thomas and Guy Woelk who worked on customers' confirmations. "We couldn't change the nature of the work," Guy said. "But by giving the work to those who would be challenged by it, our office achieved a trouble-free confirmations operation and a social good." The people engaged to sort customer confirmations are employees of the Disabled Employees' Rehabilitation Center, a unique San Francisco organization providing mentally disabled persons with an opportunity for meaningful work. All of the Center's employees, classified by the state as untrainable, have been denied rehabilitation services by public agencies. The Center is the lifework of Ming Chun, a man totally dedicated to helping the disabled, to giving them a chance to work and maintain their self-respect. Because the Center is self-supporting, its success depends on the ability of Mr. Ming and his volunteer assistants to obtain enough work of the kind his employees can handle. This includes simple tasks like sorting, filling small bags with toys and packaging cocktail napkins. In search of new avenues for the Center's employees, Mrs. Mae Wu, a volunteer at the center and mother of manager Dennis Wu, asked her son if Haskins & Sells might be able to offer assistance. "Processing customer confirmations has always been a staggering job on past brokerage audits because of the volume of cards and the tedious nature of the work," Dennis says. "We needed people who could sort the cards, putting the good ones aside and separating the mutilated ones from those with attachments. I thought the employees of the Center, given adequate supervision, could successfully handle the job." After some research into the Center, a tour of the plant and a look at the work being done there, Dennis decided to give the organization a try. He was encouraged by Robert Hall, Dean Witter's vice president in charge of Western Operations. Work began in September with the typical slight misgivings that attend any new venture. These were quickly dispelled, however, by the dedication of the Center's employees. They worried constantly about the quality of their work, and were quick to turn to the supervising staff accountants for help whenever confronted by an unusual confirmation card. At the height of the "confirmation crunch," eight Center employees sorted nearly twenty thousand cards daily, and did it with very few mistakes. "That kind of performance is always noteworthy; from the mentally disabled it is truly remarkable," Guy Woelk says. The members of the audit team agree that the experiment turned out well and, along with the San Francisco office and Dean Witter, congratulate the people of the Disabled Employees' Rehabilitation Center on a job well done.

Politicians swarm cancer center groundbreaking
Officials celebrated the University of Nebraska Medical Center's planned cancer center Tuesday, but the groundbreaking ceremonies were quickly followed by politics.
The $370 million Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center being built in Omaha will have two buildings named in honor of the other major donors to the project.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center said Tuesday it plans to name the hospital the CL Werner Cancer Hospital. The other main building will be called the Suzanne and Walter Scott Cancer Research Tower.
The overall cancer center will be named in honor of Warren Buffett's cousin, Fred Buffett, because his widow made a donation that was announced last week.
Officials have not disclosed the size of the donations UNMC has received for the cancer center, but $35 million of the funds needed to build the center will come from Omaha's cigarette tax approved by the City Council last fall.
Hours after the groundbreaking ceremony, mayoral candidates incumbent Jim Suttle and Councilwoman Jean Stothert locked horns again.
Suttle's campaign held a news conference with cancer survivors and their loved ones speaking out both in favor of the center and against Stothert, who voted against that tax, saying she supported the cancer center but not the way the city was funding it.
"What I opposed was the funding mechanism proposed, which was taxing about 500 small businesses in Omaha," Stothert said.
Stothert said she has volunteered and helped raise funds for UNMC for years. She asserted the Suttle campaign was politicizing the event.
"It really shows a desperate candidate in the last week of this mayor's race trying to do whatever he can to win political points, and I think it's disgusting," Stothert said.
Suttle argued his side was not politicizing anything and kept up his criticism of her vote last fall.
"She should have voted for the vision, leadership and courage in moving this city forward, but she didn't," Suttle said.
State Sen. Brad Ashford, a former candidate for mayor, joined Stothert in speaking out against the Suttle campaign event.
In a statement, Ashford said, "I am disappointed to see this good project used as a campaign tool in the closing days of the election."
The University of Nebraska Board of Regents will vote on the proposed names at its June meeting.

Man Claims He Signed 80 Walker Recall Petitions
12 News Looks Into Recall Signature Rules
A man told 12 News that he has signed as many as 80 petitions to recall Gov. Scott Walker.
The man had the following exchange with 12 News' Kent Wainscott on Thursday:
Man: "I think I signed about 80 times."
Wainscott: "You've signed 80 petitions, you think?"
Man: "I signed a lot of them for the past two weeks. I've been seeing them at the Grand Avenue Mall. Out here by Pick 'n Save and stuff like that."
Wainscott: "Well, you know they're only going to count one of your signatures?"
Man: "Oh well. Whatever it takes to get Scott Walker out of here, I'm happy."
Wainscott: "That means signing repeatedly?"
Man: "Yeah. They cheated for Bush, so hey, I'm going to cheat to get Scott Walker out of here."
Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board in Madison polices the recall process. The Board's director said the legality of signing multiple petitions really comes down to intent.
"If a person is signing this with the intent of artificially inflating the number of signatures that are going to be turned in, or if they're signing it to argue these petitions are riddled with fraud, because anybody can do this, then they're committing fraud on the process," said Director Kevin Kennedy.
So, if someone signs a recall petition but later worries that petition might not be legit, he or she can sign another one. That's different from signing dozens of different petitions, hoping to sneak in some extra signatures, according to the director.
The latter is a practice the Democratic Party of Wisconsin said it discourages. The party's spokesman said people should sign only one petition, and he said he had not heard of any other cases of people signing dozens of petitions.
"Well, these are not credible people. They either have mental illnesses or they're up to no good," said Graeme Zielinski, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. "They're up to criminal activity, and if they are up to criminal activity, they should be prosecuted."
The state's Republican Party spokesmen told 12 News that its members are concerned about duplicate signatures sneaking into the total count.
"This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, and the Republican Party of Wisconsin will be looking into the matter further," said Ben Sparks, communications director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin. "This type of behavior calls the entire recall process into question."
The Democrats said they're working to weed out repeat signatures before submitting them to the GAB. The Board may not necessarily catch the duplicates.
The GAB director said, according to state law, it's up to the officeholder to catch duplicates. So, in this case, it will be up to Walker's campaign and Republicans to catch any duplicate recall signatures turned in.

BALTIMORE – Senior Caitlin Chance (Easton, Md./Easton) and junior Mary Hartman (Eldersburg, Md./Century) each blasted homeruns and freshman pitcher Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) tossed her 18th complete game of the year as UMBC finished off the series sweep of UMass Lowell with a 6-2 win in the weekend finale, Saturday afternoon in America East action at UMBC Softball Stadium.
UMBC (27-16, 5-6 AE) scored two runs in each of the first three frames and Holte (16-7) surrendered just two runs, only one earned, on four hits while striking out nine batters.
The Retrievers got to UMass Lowell (8-29, 1-10 AE) starter Lauren Ramirez (2-11) early, scoring four runs against the right-hander in just 1.1 innings of work.
After Holte sent down the River Hawks in order in the first, which included two swinging strike outs, the Retrievers responded for two runs in the bottom half. Junior Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) started the rally with a two-out walk and she moved to second on a wild pitch. Senior Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) then drove a single up the middle to bring around Hall and open the scoring. Bertoglio took second on a wild pitch and came around to score as a ball off the bat of Kaelin Jackson (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional) was misplayed by the UMass Lowell shortstop.
The River Hawks got their first runner on in the top of the second as Melissa King drew a walk with one out, but Holte worked around it with a fielder's choice and a strike out. The Retriever offense once again backed the rookie left-hander as Chance smashed her third homer of the season to right-center to start the inning. Sophomore Bridget O'Malley (Brooklyn, Md./Seton Keough) later sent an RBI single back up the box to score Hartman, who had followed Chance with a single to center.
Holte continued to dominate in the third, keeping the visitors off the board. For the Retrievers, Jackson was issued a free pass the start the inning and then with two down, Hartman lashed her first career round-tripper to dead centerfield and push the UMBC lead to 6-0.
UMass Lowell finally got to Holte in the top of the fourth as Abby Jamieson ripped a double to left for the first River Hawk hit of the afternoon, and King slapped a single through the left side to cut the lead to 6-1. Two batters later, Ali Ferraro reached on an error and King scored for the second run of the inning.
That was all the River Hawks could manage off of the freshman southpaw who sent the side down in order in the fifth and sixth innings. In the seventh, Alyssa Zinkiewicz singled to center, but Holte buckled down and struck out the side to complete the series sweep.
UMBC now steps out of conference for a home doubleheader with LaSalle on Tuesday before traveling to America East rival Hartford for a three-game series next weekend.
- The game today was the Retrievers' Strikeout Cancer Game as UMBC raised money for the American Cancer Society.
- This weekend's three games were the first-ever meetings between the two programs.
- UMBC last swept a conference rival when the Retrievers took three straight from Hartford on April 30-May 1, 2011. UMBC also swept Stony Brook that season.
