Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Warn of Online Escrow Scams
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is warning consumers about recent postings on Craigslist for a boat for sale in Wisconsin.

Governor Walker Leave Insurance Exchanges to Feds
Governor Walker's decision to defer to the federal government's insurance exchange takes the burden off of Wisconsin taxpayers who would otherwise pay for a system that they cannot control. In the past, many Americans including myself have voiced the opinion that the healthcare law is unconstitutional because it forces Americans to buy a product or service. However, the US Supreme Court upheld the law. Moving forward, I will continue to do all I can to protect the taxpayers of Wisconsin and be a voice for the hardworking individuals of the 28th district.
Column from Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp: New Office Strengthens DNR's Role with Business

Here is a book that elegantly shows the potential for comic book storytelling. Deep and emotionally complex, WHEN DAVID LOST HIS VOICE subtly unfolds into a gripping, lovely work.
They're no longer a supercouple, but Superman and Lois Lane had a good run for much of Superman's 75 years in existence. That's why Lois is getting her own hardcover retrospective in the collection LOIS LANE: A CELEBRATION OF 75 YEARS.
Geary's series is one of the most interesting examinations of historical events going on in comics. While comics are proving somewhat popular for historical fiction and nonfiction these days, few get it right the way Geary does --- thoroughly researched, with bibliographies, and a keen eye for detail.
Back in 1987, in the days of the black spider suit, Spider-Man got a one-way ticket to a mental institution. Unfortunately for him, it was an institution run by the evil Kingpin, who used it as a front for drugging and then manipulating inmates into committing his crimes. Even worse for Spider-Man, he would take another trip back to the mental institution in 1992 in a sequel to the epic storyline.
With great power comes great responsibility. With a great Paul Pope superhero book comes a whole lot of fun.
The colors pop and the artwork sings throughout the seven stories featured in EXPLORER: THE LOST ISLANDS, the second anthology from editor Kazu Kibuishi (the creator behind the wonderful Amulet series). Kibuishi's AMULET is known for these eye-grabbing splashes, which take full advantage of the spectrum of four-color creativity that comics allows, so it's no surprise to see them on display here as well.
POWER RANGERS MEGAFORCE is technically aimed for kids (and at 64 pages it's a short, kid-friendly length) but it can also be fun for adults who have an inner kid in them.
THE BEST AMERICAN COMICS showcases the work of both established and up-and-coming contributors. Editor Jeff Smith --- creater of the classic comic Bone, a comedy/adventure about three lost cousins from Boneville --- has culled the best stories from graphic novels, pamphlet comics, newspapers, magazines, mini-comics, and web comics to create this cutting-edge collection.
Written and illustrated by sibling team Ginny and Penelope Skinner and published by the London-based indie press Limehouse Books, Briony Hatch is a poignant yet mischievous romp through the warts-and-all life-world of a geeky, teenage girl growing up in contemporary England. It's also a feminist fantasy and a ghost story and a coming-of-age tale.
Now 16 years old, Jacob Portman has grown up listening to outlandish tales told by his grandfather, who claims he escaped monsters as a young boy and was able to take shelter in Miss Peregrine's home. Jacob believes the monsters his grandfather was hiding from during World War II were the Nazis, but after his grandfather dies, horrifically, before his very eyes, Jacob is confronted with the truth.

Clinical psychology is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of psychological disorders through assessments and psychotherapy. Unlike many of the specialized branches of psychology that focus on subgroups or certain processes, clinical psychologists consider all of the intellectual, biological, emotional, psychological, behavioral, and social contexts of humans and their environments. Clinical psychologists are not limited to performing mental examinations or providing therapy in health care settings; they also participate in research, consultation, teaching, and forensic testimony.
Becoming a clinical psychologist or another mental health professional requires several years of formal education and training in the field. The bachelor's degree in applied psychology with a concentration in clinical psychology is an excellent starting point for those who want to practice psychology. Students in this program will receive a comprehensive introduction to the theories and applications of psychology as well as specialized instruction in the assessment and treatment of mental and behavioral disorders, including adjustment disorder and substance abuse. Some common courses students can expect to take include abnormal psychology, substance abuse, and professional ethics and assessment techniques.
Graduates of the psychology bachelor's degree program may be qualified to work as a psychological assistant, behavior analyst, or clinical director in various health care settings, schools, and businesses. Those who want to advance their careers in counseling, business, law, sociology, or another field can use this degree to prepare for graduate school.

Elvis Presley - On Stage
Performing: Elvis Presley
Doors Open: 7:00PM
Starts: 8:00PM
More information about Elvis Presley tickets
If you've never seen Elvis Presley live in concert -this is the closest you'll ever get !
What was it like to experience an Elvis concert in Las Vegas? Those who were there say it was the pinnacle of entertainment - a ticket that was hard to be had - the biggest and best show in Sin City. Now, in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Rock & Roll and Elvis' first recording session that led to the birth of rock `n' roll, we are proud to present `ELVIS PRESLEY - ON STAGE'.
Using the latest technology, Elvis performs via state-of-the art video screens singing lead vocals backed by a live band, singers and an orchestra. Together, this multi-media creation puts the audience inside an Elvis Presley concert presented exactly like one of his classic live performances in a Las Vegas showroom. The contemporary staging and overall production create the illusion that Elvis is on stage for one of his finest concert performances as seen in the epic music documentary filmed on location in Las Vegas, "Elvis: That's the Way It Is."
Elvis started a rock 'n' roll revolution in 1954 and now, 60 years later, the King of Rock `n' Roll is once again shaking up the entertainment industry with this amazing show. "Elvis Presley - On Stage" is an exciting multi-media music event where a top session band and back-up vocalists perform live in tandem with Elvis' vocals as the King of Rock 'n' Roll is projected, larger than life, on state-of-the-art screens.
Following the worldwide success of the popular production, `Elvis Presley - In Concert' which featured Elvis original band and singers, this new show is designed for all Elvis fans past, present and future.
Performing his greatest hits and concert classics, including: That's Alright Mama, Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel, All Shook Up, Blue Suede Shoes, In The Ghetto.
And in-concert classics including: Suspicious Minds, Mystery Train, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Wonder of You, Love Me Tender, Can't Help Falling In Love.
Elvis' recorded voice and his on-screen presence are so powerful, the interaction with the live musicians and singers so seamless, the audience reaction so intense that, a few songs into the show, one can almost forget that Elvis isn't really there in person. Everything in terms of staging, set design, lighting, sound, and overall production is as if Elvis were there.
Elvis concert footage for the show comes primarily from material shot for the MGM concert film "Elvis, That's The Way It Is" (1970), including never-before-seen camera angles, plus a few surprise clips from the famous '68 Comeback Special'.
This is what an Elvis Presley concert was like, and exactly what it would be like today with technological enhancements - experience Elvis as you never have - and see why they call him the King.

NUMBER 107. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. FEBRUARY, 1900. (Thirty-first Year.) ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. The higher education of carefully selected Negro young men and women, in both academic and industrial lines, is emphasized by this Institution as necessary for the elementary and industrial training of the masses. "Men of light and leading" in other spheres of activity are also greatly needed by the race that has so long sat in darkness. Earnestly Christian, as required by its charter, yet entirely unsectarian, the Institution is controlled solely by its own board of trustees, on which several denominations are represented. Some 300 students are enrolled under . 22 officers and teachers. From the col lege and normal courses 352 graduates have been sent out, nearly all of whom have readily found permanent employment in teaching or other useful occupations. Situated only about seventy miles from the centre of the Negro population of the country, in one of the largest Southern cities, and at the railroad centre of the South, its location is of strategic importance for promoting the educational advancement of the South. Its plant includes sixty-five acres of land, four large brick buildings, library of 10, 500 volumes, apparatus and other equipment worth not less than $250,000. With practically no endowment, with no aid from public or denominational funds, receiving about one-fourth of its support from its own students, the Institution appeals for an endowment of $500,000, and, until that is secured, for $25,000 annually to meet current expenses. Gifts of any amount are welcome, but special appeal is made for subscriptions of $100 and upwards, and for $40 scholarships. Remittances may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bumstead, D. D., Atlanta, Ga On The Campus, On account of the growing seriousness of Mrs. Chase's condition, Prof. Chase left for Bellows Falls, Vt., Jan. 22. Mr. Leland's mother, and Mrs. Leland's father and mother, spent two weeks in January visiting Mr. and Mrs. Leland at their home, 173 For- Among our recent visitors have been Colonel and Mrs. Abernethy of Osage, Iowa. Colonel Abernethy was in General Sherman's army in the Atlanta campaign. Mr. Charles W. Wood, a graduate of Beloit College, and at present the head of the English department at Tuskegee, delighted teachers and students by readings and impersonations after our chapel exercises February 9. Mr. T. J. Calloway has recently visited us, in connection with his work in behalf of the Paris Exposition. Mrs. Calloway was with him here a part of the time, also Mr. Shepard of St. Paul, Minn., and Mr. Hillyer of Washington, D. C., both of whom are connected with the same work. The thirty one charts which constitute the Atlanta University exhibit for the Paris Exposition were shown to teachers and students prior to being sent away. They picture to the eye in a most interesting manner many facts about the Negro as a property holder, his educational progress, his means of earning a livelihood, his birth and death rate, his rate of increase as compared with the white population, etc. Our Graduates '81—Butler R. Wilson presided over a meeting at Young's Hotel, Boston, Feb. 12 (Lincoln's birthday), in the interest of the higher education of the Negro. Pres. Bumstead and Mr. Bradford were among the speakers. '85—Rev. L. B. Maxwell was the e-mancipation orator at Augusta, January 1. He is also conducting a vigorous campaign as field worker of the International Sunday School Convention. At a crowded mass meeting in Atlanta, January 15, he presented to the public a remarkable program, including addresses by Governor Candler, ex-Governor Nor-then, Hon. Hoke Smith, Rev. S. X. Floyd ('91) of Augusta, J. R. Porter ('86) of Atlanta, and others. '94—We print elsewhere a poem by J. W. Johnson, which appeared in the February Century. Those who knew him while a student here will at once recall his occasional practice of expressing himself in verse, to our great interest, and rejoice in this introduction thus given him to a wider audience. '94—Mamie L. Williams is teaching at Sandersville, near her home in Macon. '94—George A. Towns, of the class of 1900 in Harvard University, is published five times in the Rank List of that institution for the year 1898-99. He attained Grade B in the following courses ; English O, Economics 3, Philosophy 3, Philosophy 16, Philosophy 18. '96—Celia R. Brooks is teaching at Folsom, Ga.

Save money on traffic
Building highways is a heavy hitter on your budget, and noisy as well. If you place two roads side by side and connect every segment with streets (roads have stoplights), then you should be able to get traffic moving just as fast as on highways, but much cheaper and quieter.
