Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
A look back at the people and events that made news the past week. Week-ends will be a regular weekly feature of This Just In…
State Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) and state Representative Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford) for expressing anger about a forum held at a Janesville YWCA at which a state DMV employee encouraged illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses before a new law takes effect. Wisconsin will require any applicant for a driver's license or state identification card to show proof of legal residency in the United States starting April 1. At the forum attended by Hispanics, many of whom could not speak English, a DMV official encouraged anyone without proof of citizenship or legal residency who didn't have a driver's license or ID to get one before the April 1 deadline.
Grothman said, "When local government officials go out of their way to assist illegal immigrants for being illegal, you're certainly sending a message to residents that you don't expect people to take your immigration laws seriously."
Suder said the Division of Motor Vehicles shouldn't use resources to get licenses for illegal immigrants when legal residents often wait months for driving tests.
The two lawmakers asked the Governor to put an immediate halt to future forums by the DMV.
The thugs who started a riot at the Bradley Tech-Bay View boys basketball game at Bradley Tech High School. The violence by these punks led to MPS severely limiting ticket sales to fans of the involved schools.
"I am so excited about coming back. We have a good nucleus of young players. We were 8-8 last year and that's encouraging. My offensive line looks good, the defense played good down the stretch. I'm excited about playing for a talented young football team."
Green Bay QB Brett Favre, announcing he will return to the Packers next season.
"We must always stay true to a basic Wisconsin value: living within our means."
Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle in the opening of his State of the State message. He then proceeded to unleash a long laundry list of one new spending initiative after another, never offering specifics on how to pay for the new programs at a time when Wisconsin has a $1.6 billion deficit.
"The governor used the 'state of the state' address to really launch a cradle to grave mentality, something that every program created here will not only take an infant all the way through college, but in a way that will put the burden on middle-class taxpayers"
Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) reacting to Governor Doyle's proposed spending spree.
Black men and boys must begin making better lifestyle choices. For example, not impregnating females they have no intention of committing to, better parenting and child-rearing involvement, a fatherhood initiative that insists on men raising their children from inside the home, getting as much education as they can beyond high school and getting and staying married if for no other reason than the health and well-being of their children. These alone would reduce child abuse, sexual abuse and neglect, perpetrated by live-in boyfriends and the carousel of other men dropping in and out of the home.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke in a column last Sunday in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel. He made similar comments the next day when I interviewed him live on Newstalk 1130 WISN.
Barack Obama is "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."
U.S. Senator and Presidential hopeful Joe Biden. His comment created a national stir, but if the remark had come from a conservative Republican, the backlash would have been much louder. Biden as a Presidential candidate is toast.
A Chicago mother was charged with leaving her 1-year-old daughter unattended in a car in a parking lot in bitter cold temperatures. Police responding to a 911 call found the infant in the back seat of a locked car. The child was crying, and the officers were concerned about her safety. Officers had to break the car window to get the child out. The officers put the girl in their car to keep her warm, and she later was taken to Children's Memorial Hospital, where she was in good condition. The child's mother was arrested when she returned to the vehicle about 10 minutes after the child was found. She had taken her 5-year-old son with her as they went into a Jewel grocery store. She has been charged with just a misdemeanor, endangering the life of a child. I find that to be a slap on the wrist, sending the wrong message to every other negligent parent. The poor baby could have died, and all this poor excuse for a mother gets hit with is a misdemeanor?
Governments in Wisconsin face about $17.4 billion in costs beyond what they have already set aside to pay for pensions and other benefits promised to retirees, according to a Wisconsin Policy Research Institute study. "The exact amount will not be known until 2009. But it is already clear that there are either tax hikes or program cuts in the future for Wisconsin taxpayers," said the author of the report, former Wisconsin Administration Secretary George Lightbourn.
Kewaskum Police Chief Richard Knoebel says he wasn't about to take the easy way out when he accidentally drove past a stopped school bus with its emergency lights flashing. For violating traffic laws, Knoebel wrote himself a ticket for $235, docked himself four points on his driving record and paid the fine the next day. It happened in September but didn't make news until after the fine appeared in court records and was reported by a West Bend newspaper.

Postal workers, delivery people, construction workers, the poor guy wearing a sandwich board walking outside on S. 76th Street announcing a closing sale for a furniture store…..anyone who had to do any work outdoors this frigid week.
ANGELIA CULBERSON - Accused of collecting thousands of dollars in donations while faking she had cancer, Culberson was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay about $7,000 in fines and restitution.
"I'm so sorry, I wish I could take back what I did," Culberson of Madison said at a hearing in Columbia County Circuit Court. She directed the apology to the dozen people who had donated to a cancer fund in her name.
Culberson admitted she lied when she told a co-worker she missed work because she was taking tests and that she might have had Hodgkin's disease. Culberson wrote that the lie snowballed and she eventually shaved her head. Some people would drive Culberson to the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison, supposedly for chemotherapy treatments. A dozen people and two businesses donated a total of $6,000 for Culberson's cause.
SCOTT SCHERER and MELANIE HARDRATH- This mother-boyfriend duo from Greenfield will be punished for locking up her young son so she could watch Packers games.
The 7-year old boy told boy told investigators during every Packers game, his mother and her boyfriend locked him up for hours. The couple was charged with false imprisonment and neglect. Hardrath's son is now in the custody of her sister, Michelle Hardrath. "I'm hoping they don't ever get custody of my nephew because they don't deserve him, and they don't even care," Michelle said.
The couple told police they would lock the boy in the room whenever they needed a babysitter, even though they knew it was wrong. Investigators say it happened during Packers games. They would leave the child with bread, peanut butter and jelly, and a bucket to use as a toilet. The boy told police he was scared to be alone.
Hardrath and Scherer have pleaded not guilty to the charges, and could face a maximum of six years in prison.
SHEBOYGAN WOMAN LEAVES KIDS IN CAR WHILE SHE TANS-Sheboygan police arrested Lori Yeager after she allegedly left her two children in a freezing car for 20 minutes while she went tanning. The 27-year-old woman was arrested after two people spotted the children, ages 23 months and 10 years, in the car. The vehicle was locked but not running.
The children were dressed warmly, but they had "goose bumps" from the cold. The temperature at the time was 12 degrees, with a wind chill index of minus 2 degrees. Yeager said she was going on vacation and felt that the tanning was a priority, according to police.
WISCONSIN GOVERNOR JIM DOYLE- We could nominate him every week. It's hard to ignore his actions this week, going on a spending spree that the bankrupt state can't afford. We may have learned one of the ways he'd pa for all his drunken sailor-like spending: a tax on hospitals.
I thought liberals were never cruel and mean-spirited. Doyle wants to tax hospitals. Remember, this is the same Governor who wanted to impose a tax on beds in nursing homes. What will hospitals do if they get taxed? Like any business, they'll simply pass the tax on to their consumers, in this case, their patients.
So what we have is a Governor proposing a tax…..on people who are ill. I think the Governor is the one who's sick.
"I just felt sorry for them. There are a lot of ignorant people in the world. There's something wrong in this (community) when people don't understand how to interact with each other."
A 20-year old white man, talking about the group of black teens that harassed and assaulted him on a Milwaukee County Transit System bus in Wauwatosa.
A 20-year old white man is harassed and assaulted on a Milwaukee County bus in Wauwatosa by some black teenage thugs. About 50 people were on the bus at the time. No one offered to help the man. No one came forward as a witness. Have we sunk this low as a community that we won't assist a fellow man in desperate need of help?
The assault on the bus in Wauwatosa. Yes, it got media play. But I have to wonder if it had been a white on black attack instead of the reverse, if the news coverage wouldn't have been more extensive. Daily page one stories in the paper, more race-baiting columns by Eugene Kane, press conferences from outraged politicians, protests, marches, and candlelight vigils. Is there a double standard? You bet there is.
Without a doubt, Anna Nicole Smith. She had blonde hair. She was built. She had no talent. The media goes wild.
It was too cold for the kiddies of Wuss-consin to get to school Monday and Tuesday, right? Then how do you imagine they got to the waterpark in Waukesha? Strange…..
My marriage is going to the dogs
Most husbands would kill to be in the situation I am about to describe.
Beginning tonight at 7:00, I won't be talking to or hearing much from my wife for the next 48 hours. We'll be in the same house, but I doubt she'll even notice me. I could light myself on fire and run through every room in the house screaming bloody murder and it wouldn't faze my wife. Her full attention will be focused on soft coated wheaten terriers, Chesapeake Bay retrievers, cocker spaniels, dachshunds, Chihuahuas, and schnauzers.
Over the next two nights, my wife owns the TV remote. I am persona non grata as this event takes center stage in the Fischer household. For several weeks, February 12th and 13th have been circled by a Sharpee on the 2007 Dog Do's calendar in our laundry room.
Nothing against man's best friend, you understand. I love dogs. My wife idolizes them. She covets getting one someday and I'm sure we will.
Once we do, my standing drops a notch. The house will be #1, my wife will be #2, the dog will be #3, my wife's car #4, the TV #5, the refrigerator #6, the microwave #7, have I mentioned the credit card? Let's move that up to #5 and put the TV at #8. We actually have two dog calendars in the house. That takes care of #9 and #10. You see what I mean. I don't even make the top 10 in my own doggone home (no pun intended).
So my wife does a Houdini over the next two days. Ahhh, not to worry. She'll be back, noticing me and wanting my attention in no time. After all, we do know what February 14th is, don't we?
Here's your excuse for Wednesday, guys!
Gee Sweetheart, I wanted to buy you flowers for Valentine's Day, but I didn't want to kill you.
"Hello, I'm Governor Doyle. Re-elect me in November and I'll increase your taxes by $1-billion!"
Imagine last fall if Jim Doyle had run a campaign ad like that, promising to increase taxes by $1- BILLION. What do you think his chances would have been?
Since being elected to a second term, the governor has proposed one tax or fee increase after another. Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) is keeping track and today, Fitzgerald announced the governor's bill to taxpayers just went over the $1-BILLION mark.
That is so breathtaking, Wisconsin taxpayers should be protesting with lanterns and pitchforks at the state Capitol Tuesday night when the governor gives his budget address. It should be quite easy to figure out how he's going to fund all the new programs he's so giddy about proposing. Doyle is going to give the bill to you, the taxpayers, at an astounding figure of $1-BILLION. And the governor isn't through yet.
When is this madness going to stop?
Even the editorial writers want to stop the Frankenstein veto
Last week when I filled in for Jay Weber on Newstalk 1130 WISN, I interviewed state Senator Sheila Harsdorf (R-River Falls), the author of the state constitutional amendment to do away with the so-called "Frankenstein Veto" authority of the governor.
The inspiration for Harsdorf's amendment was Governor Doyle's sweeping use of his veto pen in the 2005 budget process. Doyle scratched out hundreds of words from a portion of the state budget adopted by the Legislature to form a brand new 20-word sentence that raided $427-million from the state Transportation Fund to spend on schools. It was a breath-taking appropriation the Legislature never approved.
Since Harsdorf's proposal is a constitutional amendment, it must pass two consecutive sessions of the Legislature before it goes to the voters in a statewide referendum. The amendment passed both houses last session, passed the Assembly this session, and is now before the state Senate. Action must be taken by February 20 to allow voters a chance at a referendum in April.
There are enough votes in the Senate to approve the amendment, but Senate Democrat leaders say they will not allow the amendment to be taken up on the floor of the Senate in time for placement on the April ballot.
On my WISN radio show last week, Harsdorf expressed great doubt that Senate Democrat leaders would change their minds.
That's too bad, considering this is not a partisan issue. I mentioned on WISN that every newspaper editorial around the state on the issue favors not only the Senate taking quick action, but also an end to the Frankenstein veto. I don't think I can recall an issue that ever received such unanimous support from newspaper editorial writers across Wisconsin.
I encourage you to take the time to read these editorials.
The Wisconsin State Journal
The Wisconsin State Journal again
The Wisconsin State Journal a third time
The Wausau Daily Herald
The Racine Journal Times
The Appleton Post Crescent
The Janesville Gazette
These aren't exactly conservative publications. Maybe left-leaning editorial writers can sway, or even shame liberal Senate Leaders Judy Robson and Fred Risser. The state Senate is scheduled to be on the floor February 20, the deadline for a vote to ensure the amendment gets on the April 3 ballot.
A look back at the people and events that made news the past week. Week-ends is a regular weekly feature of This Just In...
STATE REPRESENTATIVE BILL KRAMER (R-WAUKESHA) - During Governor Doyle's budget address Tuesday night, the freshman legislator began clapping loudly after Doyle mentioned that oil companies were gouging taxpayers and will earn $310 million in profits within the next 24 hours. The governor was describing his plan to tax every barrel of oil that comes into Wisconsin. Kramer told the Associated Press profits are the state's economic lifeblood. "Seems to me without profit, we don't have expansion. Without expansion, we don't have jobs," said Kramer.
Kramer's right. Companies are in business to make profits. Notice the Governor didn't go after big casinos or big trial lawyers who make a much higher percentage in profits than oil companies do.
JOSHUA DYESS- The Racine County district attorney's office filed charges of first-degree sexual assault of a child and child enticement Friday against Joshua M. Dyess, a 20-year-old Caledonia man suspected of assaulting a 6-year-old boy in a Racine elementary school bathroom.
According to the criminal complaint, Dyess denied that he sexually assaulted the student, but police said fingerprints collected in one of the bathroom stalls where the assault occurred at Red Apple Elementary School were Dyess'.
The complaint says Dyess told police he was in the building to pick up a transcript for his sister, who is now in high school. Dyess said he entered a bathroom intending to clean up after a sexual encounter he had had before entering the school. Dyess said he found the victim whimpering and already injured in a stall and assisted him before walking the boy to the office area and leaving the building.
If convicted, Dyess faces a maximum sentence of 85 years in prison.
"We need to protect our kids from dangerous sex predators."
Governor Doyle delivering his budget address Tuesday night. In his budget, he guts the GPS law he signed last May. The La Crosse Tribune reported, "Doyle's budget, unveiled to lawmakers Tuesday night, would require child molesters and sexually violent offenders to wear global positioning bracelets only while they're on supervised release or parole. That's a significant step back from the law Doyle, a Democrat, signed in May to set up GPS tracking until the offender died or was too feeble to pose a threat."
"This, in essence, takes away most of our ability to track these monsters. I'm left with my jaw wide open. He signed the bill. He highlighted the bill throughout his campaign. Now he is nothing short of gutting the bill. I find it appalling."
State Representative Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford), one of the authors of the GPS bill, reacting to Governor Doyle's budget proposal to gut the GPS law he signed last May.
"The vilification of business by adding the prefix "Big" has become a parody of itself. Among Republicans, the only proper pejorative use of the word "Big" is in the context of government. Prosperity flows from ideas that originate at our kitchen tables, in our small businesses and our boardrooms - not from politicians' promises. At what point shall we expect Democrats to declare entrepreneurship illegal and to what extent should Wisconsin's firms like Milwaukee's Harley-Davidson(Big Hog), Kenosha's Snap-On Incorporated (Big Tool), Menomonee Falls' Kohl's (Big Apparel), or Journal Communications Corp (Big News) be concerned about the confiscatory tax policies of the Democrat Party?
During the Governor's budget address I stood up to support the American spirit, the entrepreneurial can-do spirit Wisconsin and this nation as a whole embraces. And, I will continue to do so in spite of the vitriolic barbs that may come my way."
State Representative Bill Kramer (R-Waukesha) in a press release, responding to criticism of his lone applause when Governor Doyle in his budget address ripped the profits of oil companies.
"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I'm homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."
Former NBA star Tim Hardaway. His incredibly bigoted remarks cost him major endorsements and a possible career in broadcasting.
From Governor Doyle's May 22, 2006 press release:
Governor Doyle Signs Legislation to Better Monitor State's Most Dangerous Sex Offenders
MILWAUKEE - Governor Jim Doyle today signed legislation making Wisconsin the national leader in protecting our kids from dangerous sex predators.
"I understand that everyday when parents send their kids off to school, they worry that something could happen to them before they return home," Governor Doyle said. "And that's why as a prosecutor, Attorney General, and now as Governor I am doing everything I can to keep sex predators locked away and to make sure that those released by courts get the strictest supervision."
As part of this larger effort to protect our kids against sexual predators, today Governor Doyle signed Assembly Bill 591, which extends lifetime GPS monitoring beyond just Chapter 980 offenders to serious and repeat child sex predators, and to those who were found not guilty in court due to mental disease.
"This expanded GPS will help law enforcement know exactly where these people are every minute of every day," Governor Doyle said. "And if they go someplace where they put kids in danger and violate their probation, we'll know immediately - and we'll put them back behind bars."
This is from Governor Doyle's own campaign website:
"Governor Doyle has enacted legislation extending lifetime GPS monitoring beyond just Chapter 980 offenders to serious and repeat child sex predators, and to those who were found not guilty in court due to mental disease. This expanded GPS will help law enforcement know exactly where these people are every minute of every day, and if they go someplace where they put kids in danger or violate their probation, we'll know immediately - and we'll put them back behind bars."
This is an ad Governor Doyle ran during his campaign boasting about how tough he was on the issue of sex predators.
And this is from the La Crosse Tribune newspaper this past Wednesday, February 14:
Doyle backtracks on sex-offender tracking
MADISON - Electronic tracking for Wisconsin's worst sex offenders - required under a law signed by Gov. Jim Doyle less than a year ago - would be dramatically scaled back under his two-year budget proposal.
Doyle's budget, unveiled to lawmakers Tuesday night, would require child molesters and sexually violent offenders to wear global positioning bracelets only while they're on supervised release or parole.
That's a significant step back from the law Doyle, a Democrat, signed in May to set up GPS tracking until the offender died or was too feeble to pose a threat. The Republican-sponsored law is due to take effect in July.
The media did little reporting on the argument against Governor Doyle's attack on capitalism and the private sector, i.e., oil companies. The liberal press buys into Doyle's position that certain profit-making companies are evil. The media was pretty quiet on why Doyle didn't go after casinos, trial lawyers, or corn producers.
For the second week in a row, Anna Nicole Smith. ENOUGH ALREADY!
Watch for this story to get far more attention than it deserves, too.
I don't care how bad the Milwaukee Bucks are. They should have beaten the Boston Celtics this week. Coming into the game, the Celtics had suffered 18 straight losses. The abysmal Bucks got the miserable Celtics back on the winning track as Boston bombed the Bucks, 117-97. Bucks coach Terry Stotts is probably toast.
I leave you with this odd story.
A look back at the people and events that made news the past week. Week-ends is a regular weekly feature of This Just In...
The young person who delivered my newspaper very early this morning and will do it again tomorrow. The snow plow drivers. The postal delivery people. Anyone who has to work outside so they can make things easier for us.
And former Summerfest Director Bo Black, valiantly fighting for her life. Black did so much for this community. Hang in there, Bo. We're all praying for you.
State Senate Democrats.
On Tuesday, Senate Democrats voted down a move by Senate Republicans to bring the constitutional amendment to ban the Frankenstein veto to the Senate floor for a vote. Tuesday was the last day for the Senate to take action to ensure the amendment to go to a statewide referendum April 3. Despite bipartisan support in the Legislature, strong support from the public, and numerous editorials statewide in favor of the amendment, Senate Democrats (some of who voted for the amendment last session) voted unanimously not to bring the measure to the Senate floor for consideration. That means Governor Doyle can use the Frankenstein veto in the next budget to play all kinds of games with your tax money.
Senate Democrats also say they will refuse to take up legislation to do away with the extremely generous sick leave perk enjoyed by lawmakers.
Over in the Assembly, State Representative Marlin Schneider (D-Wisconsin Rapids) objected just before the Assembly was to take a final vote on the sick leave measure, delaying action until the Assembly meets again on March 1. Schneider, who is usually quite the windbag (they call him Snarlin' Marlin at the capitol) wouldn't say why he had objected to a final vote, although he has been a vocal opponent of efforts to end the sick leave benefit. Could this be why Marlin wasn't Snarlin' this time: Schneider has more than $110,000 worth of sick leave accumulated.
The crowd at Michigan State as the Spartans upset the #1-ranked Wisconsin Badgers.
I never said that. I am for a full ban in the state.
Governor Jim Doyle, flip-flopping on an earlier statement that he would consider exempting taverns from his proposed statewide ban on smoking.
I don't understand money. I really don't like money.
Wisconsin Public Radio talk show host and my co-panelist on Milwaukee public Television's INTERchange and ultra-liberal Kathleen Dunn, defending Jim Doyle's avalanche of tax and fee increases in his budget, including the tax on oil companies. Even though she's been a friend for years, I can't defend Kathleen's open mouth-insert foot episode on our weekly TV show. When Kathleen uttered her phrase, you can hear yours truly in the background replying, "That's obvious."
"It's all in Spanish and I don't understand a word of it. I only bought it for the hot chicks."
Oconomowoc's Bret Stieghorst, who was watching an adult DVD in Spanish called "Casa de Culo" in his apartment when a neighbor broke down his door, carrying a sword, claiming he did so because thought a woman was being raped.
"No way, I'm a man and I'm a normal person. But I think I will get some good headphones, maybe some wireless ones.
The above-mentioned Stieghorst, when asked if this entire debacle would change his video viewing habits.
It's a tie between this and this.
The decision by Senate Democrats on Tuesday to remove from the calendar a bill authored by Senate President Fred Risser (D-Madison) to allow certain 17-year olds to vote.
How embarrassing! The party in power (in this case, the Senate Democrats) only schedules bills that are assured to have the desired outcome (in this case, approval). The Democrats who have the majority refused to take action on Risser's bill and sent it back to a Senate Committee.
It was the first major bill proposed by a Senate Democrat to be considered by the Senate this session, and the Senate Democrats had to scratch it from the calendar because they didn't have enough Democrat votes to support one of their own members.
Why no press coverage? Would the Capitol press corps pick on grandfatherly Fred Risser? No chance.
1) Anna Nicole Smith
2) Bald Britney
3) The Oscars
Take your pick.
That's easy.

A police officer was dispatched to the corner of U.S. Highway 17 and — coincidentally — Butts Street at about 8:15 a.m. Sept. 27 because a 34-year-old Georgetown man was walking down the road with his buttocks exposed.
The officer noted the man was exposing more than 50 percent of his rear.
The man was asked by the officer to pull his pants up, which he did then continued walking.
"When I pulled away [the man] pulled his pants back down and lifted his shirt to expose even more of his buttocks," the officer wrote.
The man was arrested for disorderly conduct.
Georgetown police arrested a 34-year-old man reportedly involved in a hit-and-run Sept. 27.
A Moncks Corner man said he was driving on Highmarket Street when the suspect hit the back of his car and then sped away.
Police were given a description of the car and an officer spotted it. When the driver got to the intersection of Sorrell and Church streets, he jumped out and ran.
A little while later the man called 911 saying his car had been stolen while he was in the bathroom at the Carroll Campbell boat landing in Maryville.
The victim had given police a description of the suspect and so police knew the car owner was the suspect and his car had not been stolen.
He was charged with hit and run and filing a false police report.
A Walmart security officer told police two men tried to leave the store without paying for numerous items Sept. 28.
The man reportedly walked out with five laptop computers, four routers, two sets of T-shirts, a bag of charcoal and a decorative rug in a shopping cart. But they left the items in the cart in the parking lot and fled the scene in a Dodge Caravan with a New Jersey license plate.
The suspects were not located.
A 29-year-old Murrells Inlet woman is accused of breaking into the Hot Fish Club at about 3 a.m. Sept. 15.
The owner was reviewing security camera video Sept. 21 when she saw the woman breaking into the bar area and taking several bottles of alcohol.
There seemed to be a second person assisting but that person stayed out of the view of the camera.
A bartender identified the woman, saying she has been in the bar quite often recently.
The case is still being investigated.
A woman from Beard Lane in Pawleys Island returned from vacation Sept. 20 and discovered her house had been burglarized.
She said someone went through all of her closets and dresser drawers.
A hammer found by the back door does not belong to the woman, she said.
Two flat screen TVs and two shotguns were reported missing.
There are no suspects.
A manger at the Murrells Inlet Food Lion reported a loiterer Sept. 25.
A deputy responded and saw the 54-year-old Murrells Inlet man who had reportedly been approaching cars asking for money.
The man told the deputy he was looking for a job.
The manager confirmed the man had been placed on trespass notice for stealing from the store in the past.
He was arrested for violation of the trespass notice.
Information is subject to change as the investigation proceeds. Individuals arrested and/or charged have not been convicted.

Viruses vary in coat structure, nucleic acid content and body fluids in which they can be found. This can necessitate different extraction methods for different viruses. Here we describe a simple protocol for automated isolation of viral DNA and RNA in liquid samples using the prefilled cartridges of the Maxwell® LEV Total RNA Purification Kit. Viral nucleic acid was successfully isolated and detected from both RNA (norovirus, influenza, HCV, HIV) and DNA (CMV, HSV) viruses in a range of fluids (plasma, medium from nasal swabs, fecal supernatant). Detection was based on amplification and confirmed by a second extraction method. The protocol presented is recommended for qualitative detection only, as the efficiency of recovery remains to be determined.

Haiti: Second graders rally around Haitian classmate February 10, 2010
Shania Dormezil, a second grader at Sacramento Elementary, was born here in the United States. Her sister, fourth grader Fabiola, was about three years old when the family immigrated from Haiti, and her brother, fifth grader Kevin, was about four.
Haiti: Supporting Haiti's children February 9, 2010
Haiti: It's Devin's birthday….but Haiti gets the presents February 9, 2010
Devin Greene is just 7 years old, but the first-grader at Ainsworth Elementary School in Portland, Oregon, knew exactly what he wanted for his birthday: lots of presents — for Haiti.
Haiti: Meeting with Haiti's First Lady February 8, 2010
Haiti: Displaced and uncertain February 7, 2010
One million people are displaced by the earthquake. There are tent encampments throughout the city. In fact, now every open space is now filled with tents — most often just plastic or sheets on poles.
Haiti: What the Haitian people still have February 6, 2010
It has meant a lot to me to be back here in Haiti. I had spent some time here 15 years ago and just fell in love with the culture, people, and their artistic and spiritual life.
Haiti: Struggling with a post-earthquake birthday party February 4, 2010

At Hertz Furniture, we know that earphones aren't the only thing you need to create the optimal listening experience. We also have excellent wireless boom boxes so you can play CD's or cassettes easily. When it's time to pack up and transport all of your devices, you can keep everything arranged neatly in one of our convenient audio carriers.
Listening centers are useful to have for a number of school and business applications. If your school tries to bring technology into the classroom as much as possible, appropriate listening tools will really come in handy. When you have cinematography or music recording seminars, students will be able to focus on the audio input more easily and really get a feel for high-quality sound.
When a choir or orchestra is recording a CD, individual headsets enable each musician to hear the other parts of the harmony more clearly, so their parts can be accurately timed. This tool is also convenient to have in a language lab where students need to practice having conversations through simulated scenarios. When the whole class listens to something as it is played on speakers, they are more likely to become distracted and the sound might be distorted.
There are many professional settings in which a listening center can be quite useful. When you are running training seminars that have an audio component, they give every participant optimal sound quality while not requiring you to provide individual devices. This can be especially helpful when conducting initial qualifying tests or seminars in fields such as transcription and customer service.
Not all head phones are ideal for use in an educational or professional environment. When multiple people are using the same headset, especially when those people are children, there is a risk that lice and germs will be spread. Hamilton Buhl headphones are the ideal choice for shared audio equipment because they come with individual storage bags that kill lice and prevent it from spreading. As an additional precaution, the bags can be individually-labeled with students' names for hygiene purposes.
There are many additions to the basic earphone design that can greatly enhance a listener's experience. Luxurious leather ear pads reduce pressure on the ears and provide soft cushioning which facilitates comfortable listening. Some headsets include individual built-in volume adjustments so each listener can set the volume at the tone that is most pleasant to them.
Headsets aren't the only thing you need for listening exercises. When you want to play a song or recording out loud, a CD and cassette player can be quite helpful. We carry a high-quality battery-operated boom box from OSC. This convenient tool makes it easy to use music in the educational environment, whether you are conducting class listening exercises or you just want some background music to help students concentrate as they work.
When you have multiple sets of headphones, you need a good place to keep them. The audio-carrier from Wood Designs can store headsets and CDs all in one eco-friendly all-natural caddy. Unlike a regular box or crate where wires and devices can easily get tangled up, this convenient solution keeps everything lined up in an organized fashion.
At Hertz Furniture we know how much the right equipment can contribute to the experience of your students and employees. Our earphones, listening centers and boom boxes are designed to facilitate the ideal audio experience in a classroom or seminar. Show students, employees and clients just how modern your institution is with great audio equipment from Hertz Furniture.

There are lots of reasons to look for school furniture that is made in the USA. If we want to teach our students to be patriotic, we need to demonstrate our own patriotism in the classroom. By furnishing a learning space with American made school desks, student chairs and bookcases, we send a message to children that we are proud of our country and our home-grown goods. They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.
At Hertz Furniture, we know what is important to the American consumer. With our wide array of American made furniture, you can be patriotic and still rely on the quality, style and reliability you have come to expect from Hertz Furniture.

Alaska could end up reducing its cruise passenger head tax from $46 to $19.50 on itineraries that include Juneau and Ketchikan, according to a final bill that Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell submitted to the state's legislature on Thursday.
The 59% cut would more than double the 25% reduction that Parnell proposed last week.
The additional reduction in the state head tax comes from a provision that offsets municipal head taxes. Juneau and Ketchikan levy cruise head taxes of $8 and $7, respectively.
If the bill passes, passengers on cruises calling in Juneau and Ketchikan would pay a $19.50 head tax. (The 25% reduction would reduce the current $46 tax to $34.50, plus local head taxes totaling $15 would be offset.)
"Alaska's tourism head tax structure must be modified to grow our Alaska businesses," Parnell said on the governor's website. "Declining visitor numbers and dollars have been felt throughout the state. We must do more to make Alaska a more affordable destination for travelers and create jobs for Alaskans."

GG is TIRED of Samus Complaints: A ResponseGaijin Goombah is TIRED of Samus Complaints: A Response
Someone linked me this video after seeing my Fashion Savvy Samus comic, and it quickly became apparent that a LOT of people defending Samus's god-awful rocket boots were using THIS as their basis for argument. So, since this is the internet, I'm gonna respond to this video interjecting whenever I hear something I agree or disagree with.
1. I agree that we should separate Other M Samus from the rest of cannon based on the fact that it was conceived over a retcon of the character.
2. I agree that a lot of the hatred for Other M Samus came from her BADLY localized English translation and voice acting. I've stated many times that if the game had been left in Japanese with English subtitles, I sincerely doubt as many people would've had a problem with her "monologuing" than they do with the English version.
3. I do not agree that you should be "offended" that mal

kids this,
that i'm the wolf in the woods, i just
saw red and couldn't help it, what
can i say i've got a
temper, i couldn't wait
to grip her neck inside
my jaws n shake it, snap

you see she was a bitch she was a

ExplanationOk so..
All this drama and crap... here is some explanation we figured out with my friend.
" people are just out of order... I mean it must have took a lot to write that and people seemed to comment wothout reading it... sometimes people just dont know what to say so you write short answers cous you've heard it all before.... people are just idiots, pay no attention. "
This is what I wrote: http://scullreaper.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5lvhzl
It was a VERY IMPORTANT piece of text...
It started to feel like NONE OF YOU really read it so I felt down.
Then some people came and said to me I am the one to answer shortly, I can't blame anyone.
But what I have to say anymore?

Project Instructions
Cut a 1¼ loop of memory wire, using a memory wire cutter (use only memory wire cutters for this hardened wire).
Grasp one end of the memory wire with round nose pliers as shown, and hold with lots of pressure.
Twist the pliers so that the wire twists either counter-clockwise or clockwise, as shown. Always twist the memory wire either with the curve or opposing the curve, never to the side. Twisting to the side is very difficult.

Take Command of your Practice Time!
The New JUGS Field General football machine will throw over 600 passes or punts in less than an hour.
Jugs Field General Football Machine
The JUGS Field General will throw accurately up to 50 yards, allowing you to hit your receivers in stride, running any route in your playbook. It also simulates punts with a hang time of over 5 seconds, allowing you to do drills that include both punt and punt return teams. Its lightweight and portable--weighing less than 95 lbs. It also comes with its own transport wheel. This makes it easy to move to any spot on your practice field.
The JUGS Field General improves teams in these areas:
- Running backs, and wide receivers need constant practice catching the football. With JUGS, these players see a week's worth of passes in a 15-minute drill session. Simply put, more passes caught in practice means more receptions in games.
- Defensive players can be given practice on a variety of reaction and zone-coverage drills in a 15-minute session without taking your quarterbacks away from their work with the offense.
- With hang times of up to 5 seconds, this machine can accurately "kick" high-lofting punts directly at one player or another, or at any point in between. You can save 30 minutes of practice time each day because you will eliminate shanked punts. Remember, crisper special team drills will produce the game results you want.
- More effective and enjoyable conditioning drills. All players like catching passes--they'll love sprinting after 50-yard bombs thrown from the Field General.

The Obscure Sprinter
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.

The Obscure Sprinter
I'm sure you've noticed my interest in the obscure. That.."who?"..seems to intrique me. Not sure the why however..ha~~~! I guess that's why them old primitive blues interests me. That world is full of.."who?" Cats that recorded "a" record then..poof!!!!!!!!!! Then here comes some Brit doing a cover of one of those old.."who?"..and only guys like myself know it's just a cover of an old blues tune.
Francis Baldwin was out of Dallas Baptist, while there he ran a 9.2, it even got him a picture in T&FN. Where did he go? Yes the classic fifteen minutes then...poof!!!!!!!!!!! Remember when Jordan Vaden stunned us all with his sub20.00? Remember that...who? Now it appears he's...poof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now there is a guy at NC A&T, he'll be a junior in 2009. In 2008 he ran a 10.18. Yet he is currently an obscure talent on the national scene. Now he might stay that way. His 10.18 was probably windy and he might just fade away. Look at the yearly lists in T&FN and you'll find so many...who? Some cat who ran a solid time then...poof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where do they go, what happens?
I've mentioned this before (oh well) it remains a mystery to me. What happened to Cal State sprint champs/JC stars Alvin Mahn (Edison of Fresno) and Bill Cowings (Fowler). I saw Mahn run while at Fresno City then....poof! Cowings was the school record holder in the 100/200 at COS (Visalia JC) when I was there. A 9.5/20.5 guy in the 60's. Then he took off for Texas Southern and...poof!!!!!!!! I have no doubts most of you reading this have similiar memories. That local star who just....poof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah....
Calesio Newman being the obscure NC A&T sprinter.
I guess the classic example would be the Carter Suggs story. While in HS he ran a slew of 9.3's then off to East Carolina and..yep...poof!!!!!!! What happened to Carter Suggs? Then there was Cyriil Wyatt at Illinois. I guess Obea Moore would also fit. Another..?????...would be Mel Clipper. What happens?
The answer is simple for most, particulalrly if you're talking the hand-timing era. Lots of bad timing, chances of rolling starts in small meets and false wind readings. No other event has more opportunties to generate fake marks than the 100.
I hear ya as far as times go. Then there's..
1960 Cali Championships
1 Bill Cowings Fowler 9.7
2 John Peters Jordan 9.8
3 Hubie Watson Jordan 9.9
4 Tom Webb Pleasant Hill 9.9
5-T John Lacey Fontana 10.0
5-T Tim Russell Lakewood 10.0
1963 Cali Championships
1 Alvin Mahn Edison 9.6
2 John House Muir 9.7
3 Travis Williams Ells 9.7
4 Tommie Smith Lemoore 9.7
5 Jerry Williams Berkeley 9.8
6 Julius Wheeler Manual Arts 9.8
gh the next time you get bored, could you check in your archives there at T&FN and see what you got on Cowings and Mahn?
It's that sort of thing that interests me. So what did happen to House? As we look at the names up there, obviously Tommie Smith jumps out at us. We all know his story. Then there's Travis Williams. He'd run a 9.3 while at Contra Costa and another one while at Arizona State. He was also a footballer and would become one of the greatest kick returners in NFL history. He'd score 6 times on kick returns, one year averaging a gaudy 41 yards a return. Played with the Packers and Rams.
All of you Xavier Carter worshipers should stop hyping him...cuz it would just hurt his legacy if he ends up on a forum like this...let's just be a little bit more rational and realize that he's got a great range of talent, but still has yet to prove himself...so lets just treat him like a regular track Joe for now...when he gets into a Championship final...that's when we should hype him...not now...or not yet.
And per Distant Replay, the long after sequel to Instant Replay, Travis Williams ended up a homeless person and died on the streets.
19.63 is in the record books - 2nd fastest alltime when he ran it
he heeds no hype
injury has delayed his progress
That's a great example of what I'm talking about. We know his story. How about the Carter Suggs story? What about the James Jackson story or the DeMario Wesley story?
He became a teacher/coach at Boys and Girls High School in Brooklyn NY, his alma mater.
I'm talking about the Cali James Jackson who was beating Leamon King in the 54 Cali HS Championships. A 9.4 as a high schooler.
1 James Jackson Alameda 09.6
2 Leamon King Delano 9.7
3 Bill Swisshelm Santa Ana 9.9
4 Dick Dorsey Santa Monica 10.0
5 Ronald Giardina Castlemont 10.1
1 James Jackson Alameda 21.2
2 Leamon King Delano 21.3
3 Bill Swisshelm Santa Ana 21.9
4 Everett Jackson Manual Arts 22.0
5 Dick Dorsey Santa Monica 22.0
If he went to a JC, he probably was not an academic blue chipper. If he left JC after 1 year to join the Air Force, he probably was considerably less than an honor roll student at the JC. And after being in the Air Force, it is time to move on into normal non-military adulthood. Does not seem unusual at all.
I seriously doubt the track world has seen that many Rhodes Scholars. I'm pretty sure a 9.4 guy could have ended up somewhere like a San Francisco State/Sacramento State/U of San Francisco.
Ok there we go, now that would explain things. Which is what I was trying to dig up.
Speaking in general, whenever we wonder "what happened to", especially in the first few years after HS, it is easy to forget that just like all of us, these kids have families, spouses/significant others, many times children, parents, unique circumstances, the whole nine yards.
Sure! The deal is we track freaks see....Marion Sims 9.3 Laney. Then watch him run a dead heat with fellow Laney-ite Micky Matthews who was also a 9.3 guy who would run for Kansas, then wonder where did Marion Sims end up? He just vanished. I've love to know what happened to guys who did have the gift but for some reason or another did nothing with it.
Texas, I haven't seen the name "Julius Wheeler" in years. Wow! I think he went to Manual Arts High in Los Angeles. I think he held the LA Schools 100 yd mark for a long time--probably until the Ronnie Ray Smith ascendancy in 1966. Speaking of obscurity, just curious: would you happen to know why Charles Moch, a sprint marvel in Junior High and High School ( I think at LA High School), never made a splash at levels beyond? Thanks.
[quote="Texas"]I hear ya as far as times go. Then there's..

gh the next time you get bored, could you check in your archives there at T&FN and see what you got on Cowings and Mahn?[/quote]
Re: Obscurity
Familiar with Moch but like Cowings and Mahn he just...poof!!!!!!!!!! I can see you get where I'm coming fom here. So many of these guys who show early promise and potential then....?????...nothing. You gotta wonder...what happened?
What happened to most of these guys after illustrious high school track and field records is unknowable. It's never been an interest to check JC records to see if, for example, Julius Wheeler or Charles Moch or the other guys that you name, continued track careers after high school. Let's face it, there is an unlimited range of reasons. Just we will not know unless someone comes to this Forum and provides additional information.
I have not explored the Track and Field News site. I will when I have the chance. I did want to mention that the Helms Foundation (?) in Southern California has high school and junior college track and field records posted on the internet. Brings back names from yesteryear. I was impressed by the records of Forest Beaty from Glendale Hoover. I remembered seeing his name in the past. Don't know if his sprint career went beyond high school.
Julius Wheeler ran 9.8 as a sophomore at Manual Arts in 1962, 9.6 as a junior and 9.7 as a senior, when he was hampered by a hamstring problem. He never set an "official" LA City 100 record: Hubie Watson's windy 9.5 in 1959 was the accepted record until Phil Underwood resolved the issue in 1966 when he blew away Ronnie Ray Smith by three long yards with a legal 9.5 on a very slow track. Charles Moch was an age-group star who managed a 9.6 in the 10th grade but was soon undone by a bulky body. He played football on one of the best teams in City history the next year, then popped a hamstring and (as far as I know) never ran again. Bill Cowings ran 9.6 and 20.4 (straight) in JC in 1963, when he was state champion in both sprints. He was supposed to attend Texas Southern the next year (the Year of Grambling), but I don't know that he ever made it. He worked as a ferry boat attendant on Puget Sound for many years before retiring back to California. Alvin Mann (correct spelling) reached his career pinnacle at the 1963 State Meet, when he won two events. Like the House twins, his T&F biography ended there. And Jerry Williams, who was fifth (between Wheeler and Mann) in that 100, ran at San Jose State, worked as a long-time police officer, and is the father of the current general manager of the Chicago White Sox.
Going from memory only, Beaty went to Cal and was a solid but not sensational quarter miler. I think they won the mile relay in the NCAA meet.
Forest Beatty did run for Cal, a multi faceted talent since he could also run a solid 400m. He was somebody who for sure should have been bigger than he ended up.
Great stuff..thanx!
At my old JC (COS-Visalia) there was a picture of Cowings and his school records of 9.5/20.5 were listed. I knew about his Texas Southern situation then he just vanished.
I saw Mann (have seen it spelled Mahn) run a couple times while at Fresno City. He was beating Sam Davis who was a legit 9.6 guy and a future Speed City-ite at SJS. Hard to believe talents like Cowings/Mann....poof!!!!!!!!!
Re: The Obscure Sprinter
I know this thread is quite old but I do what became of Julius Wheeler. I coached 2 of his children in age group track in Carson, CA.
One of his daughters ran for Hawthorne on the 4 x 1 team that held the national record for years. He also had a son that ran for Gardena.
Julius went to East Los Angeles Community College, ran track but due to lack of dedication in the classroom, was drafted and wounded in Vietnam (shrapnel in the legs). When I met him he was working for Pac Bell and as previously stated I coached his daughters in age group. He was a very supportive parent for our track club. He used to run the parent/coach relays with us. Still quick back in the 80's.
Today he's retired and still resides in Carson with his spouse.
I recently heard that Ronnie Ray Smith, also of Manual Arts, and a former Olympian is having many health issues.
Re: The Obscure Sprinter
Charles Lincoln Lindsay (RIP) was not only a champion LJ'er (State or CIF?) but Student Body Pres. of Manual Arts HS. It was always my notion that he'd jumped > 25 ft. in HS, although he dropped down to 24-ish at USC, while dominating Frosh/JC meets in 100/220.
Charles was my best pal at USC, even a cultural mentor: a Math Major deeply interested in Philosophy and the Arts, he was also a pal of Jazz phenom Charles Lloyd, who even then was already composing for Chico Hamilton. I'd say Charles's maturing breadth of interests likely contributed to his "planing off" as regards T & F. He was an early exponent of (pre-computer) Math-modelling of the Stock Market, forming his own company after moving to what was then waay out in The Valley, to the spanking new Westwood Village (which he certainly helped integrate early on).
Years later, I ran into his first wife, an Eartha Kitt lookalike, at the DC Airport; she was escorting their daughter, Alison, to Howard U. in DC.
