BARTLEY, W. Va. — A West Virginia woman who had allegedly been beaten, shot and held against her will for two days by her husband managed to call 911 Wednesday afternoon in time for sheriff's deputies to rescue her and arrest her husband.
Daren Eugene Wood, 48, of Bartley, W. Va., was charged with wanton endangerment, malicious wounding, domestic battery, domestic assault and brandishing, according to Sgt. James E. Muncy of the McDowell County (W. Va.) Sheriff's Office.
The victim, a 44-year-old female whose name is being withheld, was able to use a telephone on Wednesday to contact authorities without her husband's knowledge, according to the sheriff's office.
"I was amazed she was still alive when we got there," Muncy said. The victim was taken to a hospital where she was treated for a gunshot wound to her leg, as well as bruising to her face.
"Her injuries are not life-threatening," Muncy said.
Deputies said Wood has had previous run-ins with law enforcement.
"We have responded to other incidents involving Mr. Wood in the past, but nothing that was domestic," Muncy said.

I actually got some time this past weekend to work on my last purchase.
The prior owner had this as static yard art for a number of years sitting out in the elements. Moss and all.
He made an attempt was made to get it going but that didn't last.
When I went to see it I hand cranked it and got it to fire for about one brief second.
That was all I needed to know there was hope.
It was set wide and the steering rods and tubes were as bent as a 66 year old tractor would be. I expected it to be frozen and to be a major headache. Fortunately I was wrong.
The tubes came apart and using a soft stump as an anvil I coaxed it straight again without buggering them up.
Sanding the rust and paint off the rods while using a 12 gauge shotgun barrel brush to clean the inside of the tubes made it all go back together hassle free. (don't laugh, it worked )
The rear wheels having cast weighted centers were stuck on the hubs and dealing with them has my back feeling it today but they are set narrower now making storage inside easier.
I was shocked that I was able to get that done as quick as I did and hadn't planed to get a crack at getting it running but I had another weekend day left.
Ok then. The after market fuel filter and original sediment bowl was packed with orange rust. I replaced the sediment bowl with a new one I had for my cub. I pulled the plugs on the carb and gave a spray.
Pulling the rod and it fired,...for about 2 seconds. Nope, not that lucky.
The carb was pulled and I found that between the 2 halves was a white gasket (???) looked like silicon bathroom calk.
Wow, ok. Not having a replacement gasket I cheated and took the carb off my running A. Sorry.
It worked though as the tractor fired right over and ran like a champ!
The clutch was stuck at first so I shut it down and fired it again in first gear which freed the clutch up.
The trans sounds good and the foot throttle works pretty good.
The left brake is stuck and won't work but the right side stops it fine. I can fix that later.
Here is the old carb, kind of scary huh?
Its a certainty it won't work again without a rebuild kit and having checked I'm a bit concerned that I may buy the wrong part.
It would seem there are alot of diferent Zenith carbs.
I'm thinking this would work...am I right?

Global South Welcomes Diocese of South Carolina
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus
As you will recall the 223rd Diocesan Convention of the Diocese of South Carolina meeting at Christ Church in Mt. Pleasant on March 14-15, 2014 unanimously accepted the offer of the Global South Primates Steering Committee for Provisional Primatial Oversight.
Now this morning we receive with gratitude this letter from the Global South Primatial Steering Committee. It is their acceptance of our request for this gracious relationship. I trust you will be heartened as I have been by their welcome of us "… as an active and faithful member within the Global South of the Anglican Communion, until such time as a permanent primatial affiliation can be found." It is my joy to share it with you.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
+Mark Lawrence
The Right Reverend Mark Joseph Lawrence
XIV Bishop of South Carolina

Announcement regarding the Diocese of South Carolina
My dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
The Global South of the Anglican Communion welcomes the unanimous request of The Rt. Rev. Mark Lawrence, XIV Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina, and the Convention of the Diocese of South Carolina to "accept the offer of the newly created Global South Primatial Oversight Council for pastoral oversight of our ministry as a diocese during the temporary period of our discernment of our final provincial affiliation."
The decision of the Diocese of South Carolina was made in response to the meeting of the Global South Primates Steering Committee in Cairo, Egypt from 14-15 February 2014 [1]. A recommendation from that meeting stated that, "we decided to establish a Primatial Oversight Council, in following-through the recommendations taken at Dar es Salam in 2007, to provide pastoral and primatial oversight to dissenting individuals, parishes, and dioceses in order to keep them within the Communion."
Recognizing the faithfulness of Bishop Mark Lawrence and the Diocese of South Carolina, and in appreciation for their contending for the faith once for all delivered to the saints, the Global South welcomes them as an active and faithful member within the Global South of the Anglican Communion, until such time as a permanent primatial affiliation can be found.

But all of those methods are expensive and none of them are efficient.
Enter the salmon cannon.
The device uses a pressure differential to suck up a fish, send it through a tube at up to 22 mph and then shoot it out the other side, reaching heights of up to 30 feet. This weekend, it will be used to move hatchery fish up a tributary of the Columbia River in Washington.

When I met with the assistant dean of students, she welcomed me warmly and seemed surprised that my group would be affected by the new policy. I told her I was a woman in the ordination process, that my husband was a PhD candidate in Vanderbilt's religion department, and that we loved the university. There was an air of hope that we could work things out.
But as I met with other administrators, the tone began to change. The word discrimination began to be used—a lot—specifically in regard to creedal requirements. It was lobbed like a grenade to end all argument. Administrators compared Christian students to 1960s segregationists. I once mustered courage to ask them if they truly thought it was fair to equate racial prejudice with asking Bible study leaders to affirm the Resurrection. The vice chancellor replied, "Creedal discrimination is still discrimination."

After a battle lasting several hours, "Boko Haram has taken Bama town and the soldiers have gone away," Ahmed Zanna, who represents the Borno Central region, said today by phone from the Nigerian capital, Abuja. "Lots of youths have been killed by the insurgents; I even lost two of my family members from the attacks."
The armed forces of Africa's largest economy and local vigilantes who have mobilized to fight Boko Haram said the town hasn't entirely fallen.

Previously, the new bishop was either already consecrated or the consecration took place in Brisbane.
People are travelling from all over the diocese to witness the historic occasion, including as far afield as Winton.
The diocese spreads from Agnes Water in the south, to the Northern Territory border in the west, and just south of Carmila in the north.

ZENIT: What does "Gospel of work" mean?
Father Stramare: "Gospel" is the Good News that refers to Jesus, the Savior of humanity. Well, despite the fact that in general we see Jesus as someone who teaches and does miracles, he was so identified with work that in his time he was regarded as "the son of the carpenter," namely, an artisan himself. Among many possible activities, the Wisdom of God chose for Jesus manual work, entrusted the education of his Son not to the school of the learned but to a humble artisan, namely, St. Joseph.

Many conversations, emails, and messages that I will never hear or see exist within a world where there are no men and women of color. This is what I call white space. The opportunity to confront privilege, bigotry and systemic racism is not exclusively a responsibility of the black church or the more liberal/urban wing of evangelicalism. This is not a black church responsibility, it is a church responsibility. Let me say it plainly: white Christians need to check friends, family and acquaintances when they see anything racist that doesn't resemble the gospel of Jesus Christ. The power of individual influence can marginalize those who hold onto the evil of bigotry all while claiming to love God.
In conclusion, the above suggestions—Indoctrination, Incarnation, and Influence—are public, personal and practical ways for contemporary evangelical Christians to confront ongoing racism within our culture and even within the church. Yes, Christ is the answer to America's race problem. And faith in Christ without works is dead (James 2:17).

Players begin filing through the doors a few minutes before 10 a.m., some wearing dreadlocks and others buzz cuts. Several carry Bibles. Christian music plays through the speakers of this 200-seat auditorium, and Freeze mouths the words to a song titled "Jesus Paid It All."
This room in the Manning Center is where the Ole Miss football team gathers to discuss its mistakes, players' hopes and goals, the opportunities and pitfalls that lay ahead in the season, and anyway, doesn't that sound like life? To Freeze, it makes sense to merge his beliefs with his coaching, holding a Fellowship of Christian Athletes worship service each Sunday during the school year.

But these days, most of Al-Qosh is as silent as the overlooking the village from a hill. A few Kurdish security men guard the entrance to the village, primarily concerned with keeping potential looters away from the tidy stone and cement homes.
The villagers fled en masse in early August, when Islamist fighters made a move in Al-Qosh's direction. Now, as Kurdish forces begin to retake territory around Mosul, including the strategic Mosul dam, some families have begun to trickle back to Al-Qosh. Most stay only during daylight hours, however, afraid to stay overnight with Islamic State forces a mere 20 miles away.

CNN: Death toll passes 1,550 as Ebola outbreak accelerates, officials say
The Ebola outbreak "continues to accelerate" in West Africa and has killed 1,552 people so far, the World Health Organization said Thursday. The total number of cases stands at 3,069, with 40% occurring in the past three weeks. "However, most cases are concentrated in only a few localities," the WHO said. The outbreak, the deadliest ever, has been centered in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, with a handful of cases in Nigeria. The overall fatality rate is 52%, the WHO said, ranging from 42% in Sierra Leone to 66% in Guinea. (emphasis added)
Bloomberg: Ebola Cases May Surpass 20,000, WHO Says in Updated Plan
More than 20,000 people may be infected with the Ebola virus before the outbreak in West Africa is controlled and curbing the epidemic will cost at least $490 million, according to a World Health Organization plan.

[...]There is nowhere in the Church where there is more vulnerability for the Gospel to be undermined than in the Anglican Communion. Certainly, there are other churches and denominations where the historic faith has been more fully and formally abandoned by the official decisions of institutional leadership, but the current vulnerability in the Anglican Communion is that the historic faith and Gospel commitment which has driven missionary zeal and Biblical fidelity for centuries is being de-emphasized in order to "get along."
Right now, there are countless initiatives at the institutional level to attempt to convince people that the "cut-glass crystal punch bowl" is so beautiful that when it is polished, preserved, and appreciated the recipe of the punch it contains is unimportant. The challenge, however, is how much adulteration to the punch is acceptable. I addressed the House of Bishops in one of our Anglican Provinces and pointed out that the soup that was being made (to switch metaphors) has lovely carrots, beautiful potatoes, succulent chicken, and tasty broth. "How much manure can be added to the soup before you no longer can consume it and stay healthy?" I asked them. Not surprisingly, they did not want to have any manure added to the soup, and yet, quite a number of them were participating in conferences sponsored by liberal entities that completely undermined the Gospel, replacing it with institutional focus and uncritical acceptance of sin.
While I was tremendously excited at the selection of Justin Welby as the Archbishop of Canterbury, and had hoped and prayed for his selection believing that he was the best of the available candidates, I have been concerned at what appears to be a perspective that everything can be reconciled with everything else. While most relational disruptions can be reconciled, theological positions are another matter. It is impossible, for example, for the position "Jesus is Lord of all" to be reconciled with "Jesus is not Lord of all." While theological disagreements may not seem to be that stark, it is precisely that revelation that is at stake in the Anglican Communion. The Lordship of Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture, and how He viewed Scriptural authority is very much in play.

The Wrong Kind of Christian
Image: KEVIN VANDIVIER / GENESIS
I thought I was an acceptable kind of evangelical.
I'm not a fundamentalist. My friends and I enjoy art, alcohol, and cultural engagement.
We avoid spiritual clichés and buzzwords. We value authenticity, study, racial reconciliation, and social and environmental justice.
Being a Christian made me somewhat weird in my urban, progressive context, but despite some clear differences, I held a lot in common with unbelieving friends. We could disagree about truth, spirituality, and morality, and remain on the best of terms. The failures of the church often made me more uncomfortable than those in the broader culture.
Then, two years ago, the student organization I worked for at Vanderbilt University got kicked off campus for being the wrong kind of Christians.
At first I thought this was all a misunderstanding that could be sorted out between reasonable parties. If I could explain to the administration that doctrinal statements are an important part of religious expression—an ancient, enduring practice that would be a given for respected thinkers like Thomas Aquinas—then surely they'd see that creedal communities are intellectually valid and permissible. If we could show that we weren't homophobic culture warriors but friendly, thoughtful evangelicals committed to a diverse, flourishing campus, then the administration and religious groups could find common ground.
But as I met with other administrators, the tone began to change. The word discrimination began to be used—a lot—specifically in regard to creedal requirements. It was lobbed like a grenade to end all argument. Administrators compared Christian students to 1960s segregationists. I once mustered courage to ask them if they truly thought it was fair to equate racial prejudice with asking Bible study leaders to affirm the Resurrection. The vice chancellor replied, "Creedal discrimination is still discrimination."
Feeling battered, I talked with my InterVarsity supervisor. He responded with a wry smile, "But we're moderates!" We thought we were nuanced and reasonable. The university seemed to think of us as a threat.
For me, it was revolutionary, a reorientation of my place in the university and in culture.
I began to realize that inside the church, the territory between Augustine of Hippo and Jerry Falwell seems vast, and miles lie between Ron Sider and Pat Robertson. But in the eyes of the university (and much of the press), subscribers to broad Christian orthodoxy occupy the same square foot of cultural space.
The line between good and evil was drawn by two issues: creedal belief and sexual expression. If religious groups required set truths or limited sexual autonomy, they were bad—not just wrong but evil, narrow-minded, and too dangerous to be tolerated on campus.

In a recent forum, "Conservative Christianity After the Christian Right," Tim Keller predicted moderate growth of conservative evangelicalism even as the culture at large has grown more secular. In these remarks, he explains why these trends are leading to increasing polarization:
When I say "growing moderately," I mean that the number of the devout people in the country is increasing, as well as the number of secular people. The big change is the erosion is in the middle. The devout numbers have not actually gone down that much. It depends on how you read them. But basically, they are not in freefall by any means.
You don't so much see secularization as polarization, and what is really disappearing is the middle.
Keller sees the middle as having once leaned toward nominal Christianity, out of a sense of respect, tradition, or for social reasons. He says:
It used to be that the devout and the mushy middle — nominal Christians, people that would identify as Christians, people who would come to church sporadically, people who certainly respect the Bible and Christianity — the devout and the mushy middle together was a super majority of people who just created a kind of "Christian-y" sort of culture.
The mushy middle used to be more identified with the devout. Now it's more identified with the secular. That's all.
What does this mean for conservative Christians? Keller uses the analogy of an umbrella:
So what's happening is the roof has come off for the devout. The devout had a kind of a shelter, an umbrella. You couldn't be all that caustic toward traditional classic Christian teaching and truth. I spoke on Friday morning to the American Bible Society's board. American Bible Society does a lot of polling about the Bible. The use of the Bible, reading the Bible, attitudes toward the Bible. They said that actually the number of people who are devout Bible readers is not changing that much.
What is changing is for the first time in history a growing group of people who think the Bible is bad, it's dangerous, it's regressive, it's a bad cultural force, that was just never there. It was very tiny. And that's because the middle ground has shifted, so it is more identified with the more secular, the less religious, and it's less identified now with the more devout.

Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV)
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Dear Father in heaven,
We acknowledge that all of these ecclesiastical legal disputes within the Episcopal Church are a poor witness and a sorry mess. However, with You nothing is impossible. So, even in the mess, we say, To You be the glory. Amen.

It must have seemed that power would be found in the pagan temple, linked to the Roman Empire and the king. But they are no more than a footnote in history. Jesus turned to his weary, footsore band of fellow-pilgrims and said, in effect: choose. It was a huge leap of faith. The ministry of Jesus must have seemed a fragile thing, that could be swept away at any moment. In fact, a year or so later, Herod and Pilate thought that they had managed to do just that.
But Peter sees that Jesus is the Christ. The long-awaited promises of the coming of the Messiah are being fulfilled. Peter and the other disciples, despite their weaknesses, will be rock-like foundations for the Church, on which God can build. Their faith and love must seem so little against the powerful forces of the world. It must feel the same today for the beleaguered Christians of Iraq. When I see the masked faces of gunmen or evil executioners like those who killed James Foley this week, I see people who think that they have power. But then you have to ask yourself, why do they keep their faces covered? If they are so powerful, why hide their identity? It is because, deep down, they are afraid. Indeed, I would go further and say that despite the swashbuckling with guns, they are cowards.
The men with masked faces and Kalashnikovs will learn the hard way that earthly power comes and goes, like that pagan temple. But the City of God goes on eternally. I would also remind them of the words of the one who had so little power that he hung upon a cross:
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
These words come from true strength. These words come from a faith that endures. The men with the masked faces will create nothing. They can only destroy. True strength comes from the faith that creates justice, love and integrity. Only if we have these then we can build under God that which endures

"Dearly beloved Disciples of Jesus Christ, wherever you are in the world, I beseech you, in the Name of our Lord, to join me in heart and mind for seven days of prayer and fasting for peace and justice in God's World.
Please join me in praying especially for those places in our global village devastated by militarism, idolatry (the worship of God wrongly conceived), dictatorships and abject poverty.
One way of making our solidarity and commitment together to be instruments and makers of peace is to place white linen in our windows. All people of good will may do this! Be the change you want to see".

Here's an excerpt.
What do you want to come from this?
Jeremy: I think the perspective that we hope others will gain from this is that in suffering there is hope, namely Jesus himself. Often we are tempted to think "why me" when suffering comes about and unless we see it in the larger picture of God's glory and the unfolding and revealing of his character and nature to the world we will miss the joy that it is to be part of God's great story.
In suffering there is hope, namely Jesus himself.
Brian: I think I would like those who look into our lives through this time to see Christ and see He alone in our refuge in trying times. This "strong tower" comes in the form of prayer, Scripture, and the Holy Sprint providing comfort and peace in our hearts in the darkest moments. Through this peace we are able to worship and glorify him no matter the outcome.
Esther: I want people to see Christ lifted high and to see that God's plans for each of our lives is always for our good and His glory. God is Sovereign, he is Holy and he is good- all the time, no matter what the circumstances in our lives are- we can trust him to lovingly walk us through the dark and scary times as well as the joyful times of our lives.
How has this affected her faith?
Brian: In conversations with Mom I've picked up a sense that she has a deeper understanding on Christ sufficiency in all circumstances. He really is able to give peace and comfort when we have no where else to turn.
Stephanie: I had a wonderful conversation with my mother-in-law one day while she was laying in the bed at Emory University—looking at her through glass. She said:
"Steph, I have asked myself many, many times in my life, Is Jesus enough? I wasn't always sure how I could really answer that. When I was being put on that plane to come to the US, I knew I was leaving my home where all my things would be destroyed. I was saying goodbye to David, not knowing if I would see him again. I was getting on that plane unsure if I would be alive when I got to the US to see all of you. It was that moment when I cried out and knew, 'Jesus, you have to be enough. Jesus, you are all I have - you are enough.'"
Oh how perspective changes—He really is enough!
It's worth reading the whole article.

Man arrested for sixth drunken driving offense
A Lannon man notched his sixth drunken driving arrest after city of Brookfield police were called to a home because of a reported trespasser.
Officers responded to the 600 block of Calhoun Road just after 10:30 p.m. Friday, when family of the 48-year-old man reported he was outside their home pounding on windows and shouting, according to police reports.
Also from the reports:
Officers were conducting increased patrols in an effort to crackdown on drunken driving at the time of the call.
They arrived at the home in time to see the man accelerate rapidly from the driveway.» Read Full Article
Library lot costs nearly double
The bill has come in a bit bigger than expected for the City of Brookfield for its renovations to parking areas adjacent to the Brookfield Public Library.
Having originally budgeted approximately half a million dollars to the project, Tuesday the city's Common Council approved nearly doubling the expense, with an increase of $485,000 to the project's expenditure account.
"The bids originally came in higher than expected and then we ran into a few things," City of Brookfield Director of Public Works Tom Grisa said.
Among the unanticipated expenditures was bid prices coming in well over the $500,000 budget. The contract was awarded to D.F. Tomasini Contractors, Inc. for $650,000.
Other additions to the project's cost have included the addition of an originally unplanned parking lot to the east of the library. After the city's initial plans, a small area adjacent to other parking lots remained unused. Poor soil conditions in the construction zone also contributed to the increases to the bottom line.» Read Full Article
Industrial development hinges on TIF district
A major development is shaping up north of Capitol Drive for the City of Brookfield.
Spectrum Development LLC and Rizzo Development Group LLC are proposing a 320,000 square foot light industrial development on a 26-acre site north of Gumina Road and between Springdale and Barker Roads. The City of Brookfield annexed the property from the Town of Brookfield on July 15.
"It fits into the City of Brookfield's master plan. The vacancy rate in Waukesha County is very low right now and there's a limited supply of sites available for industrial development," Todd Rizzo, principal at Rizzo Development, said. "So what is in short supply in the county is what the city (wants). So the timing is dead on."
Rizzo's partner Chris Leffler of Spectrum Development has owned the property for over 10 years and his desires for development are nothing new.
"We've wanted to develop here for years. It's partly been (waiting for) the economy, and the other part has been the annexation by the city and the availability of sewer and water for the property," Leffler said.» Read Full Article
Teen trio teams up to take on suicide, depression
In an era when bullying and depression are often hidden behind vague Facebook posts and passive-aggressive Tweets, three Milwaukee-area teens are bringing the issue of teen suicide and depression under the spotlight. The spotlights will be those of a stage at the Waukesha County Expo Center on Sept. 28 to be exact.
Isabel Pesci of Elm Grove, Taylor Newcomer or Pewaukee, and Elizabeth Korb of Cedarburg haven't even known each other for a year yet, but the terrific trio, that was brought together through their shared love of music, has become a dynamic force in the founding of their group Think Through Your Life (TTYL).
"We all met on Twitter. We knew that we went to the same concerts, but didn't really know each other. We just knew of each other," Isabel said.
Talks of the benefit concert to combat teen suicide and depression both through fundraising and raising awareness began in January with the young ladies quickly realizing how far they could take this cause.
"Elizabeth was just talking about it and slowly we were like 'Wow, we could actually probably do that,'" Isabel said. "And then we mentioned it to Taylor and one day she had suddenly found us a venue."» Read Full Article
Coast Guard ends search for Brookfield pilot missing after crash
The U.S. Coast Guard on Sunday called off its search for a Brookfield man whose plane left Waukesha on Saturday before running out of fuel and crashing into the Atlantic Ocean after he mysteriously lost consciousness and contact with aviation officials.
Retired Harley-Davidson executive Ronald Hutchinson, 67, was on a personal trip, his son Patrick Hutchinson said Sunday. He said his father had been flying for 40 years and was in very good health.
"I want to applaud the efforts of the Coast Guard," he said. "All the federal agencies involved kept us informed of every step of this."
Only a wheel and a piece of cowling had been found, by a fisherman in the vicinity of the crash, about 50 miles southeast of Chincoteague Island, Va., according to the Coast Guard.
As the single-engine plane entered restricted air space near Washington, D.C., fighter jets scrambled to inspect it. Those pilots reported that the operator of the small plane appeared to be unconscious. The Federal Aviation Administration said Saturday the pilot had stopped responding to radio communications about 1 p.m.» Read Full Article
Preps football photos of the week: Aug. 29
Teams were looking to continue winning ways or bounce back after opening-week losses Aug. 28 and 29.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 2.
Elm Grove's Imaging Biometrics granted a patent
Imaging Biometrics LLC, an Elm Grove software firm, has been issued a U.S. patent covering a technology for data acquisition and processing from certain medical images.
The technology has potential to improve radiology workflows, reduce costs and benefit stroke and brain tumor patients, the company said. It would be used with magnetic resonance images, or MRIs.
When Imaging Biometrics gets the technology commercialized, it will allow what are now two different types of images that can be obtained from an MRI to be processed from a single scan, the company said.
"The claims of this patent further strengthen our technology portfolio," said Michael Schmainda, the company's president and chief executive officer. "Providing twice the information using half the resources is a huge step in helping hospitals improve patient care while fighting rising costs."
Both husband, wife now have left loaded guns in restrooms
Apparently, carrying a concealed weapon for some people is so second nature they don't realize when they've left their gun behind in a restroom.
A 76-year-old Oconomowoc man — whose wife left a loaded handgun in a Brookfield church restroom this year — left his own weapon in the restroom of a Door County fun park this month, according to sheriff's department reports.
The loaded Ruger .380-caliber was found, in a holster, on the floor of a men's room at the Egg Harbor Fun Park on Aug. 9. A patron of the park — which features miniature golf, go-carts, arcade games and many other attractions for families — turned it in to the park's owner. The owner held it a few hours, assuming the owner would come back looking for the gun. When no one did, he called the sheriff's office.
Investigators traced the gun to Gerald Hitchler, who has a second home in Egg Harbor. Records showed he had purchased the weapon in 2012 from a Gander Mountain store.

Anthem College closes its Brookfield campus, stranding 150 students
For-profit Anthem College closed its Brookfield campus Friday, abandoning a $1.7 million lease and displacing about 150 students in massage therapy, medical billing/coding, medical assisting and surgical technician programs, a state official confirmed.
The closing marks at least the fourth of a for-profit in the Milwaukee area in recent years. Everest College, Kaplan College and Sanford Brown have all left the Milwaukee market amid financial problems and pressures from federal officials to improve performance outcomes.
The state loaded about $250,000 in laboratory equipment from Anthem College into a moving van for safekeeping on Thursday, said David Dies, executive secretary of the Wisconsin Educational Approval Board. The board oversees 230 institutions that serve more than 60,000 working adults in Wisconsin — most of whom are ages 33 to 46.
Under terms of a teach-out agreement required by its accreditor, Anthem College will transfer equipment, faculty and curriculum for each of its defunct programs to whichever for-profit school in the area agrees to "teach out" the students through completion of their diploma or associate degree, Dies said.
"You pick up everything and move it over to the other school," he explained.» Read Full Article
Town Police warns against fake bills
Brookfield businesses should be on the lookout for counterfeit bills.
A New Berlin resident attempted to use a counterfeit $100 bill at Open Pantry, 17235 W. Bluemound Road, last week.
Town of Brookfield Police Lt. Detective Sean Schmidt noted that the Town has only seen one incident of this specific type of counterfeiting, but that there have also been multiple cases of fraudulent bills by a different method.
"What we usually see is people take a $5 bill and bleach it and then they print a $100 or a $50 bill on that," Schmidt said.
Bleaching a smaller bill and re-printing a larger bill's value on the same paper allows counterfeiters to have their product pass the pen test, which reveals illegitimate paper.» Read Full Article
Chick-fil-A celebrates National Lemonade Day with free samples in Brookfield, Greendale
Brookfield — Chick-fil-A will celebrate National Lemonade Day on Wednesday, August 20 with "pop up" lemonade stands in Brookfield and Greendale, the communities of the first two stand-alone restaurants in Wisconsin.
The Chick-fil-A stands will offer free lemonade samples and promotional items.
The Brookfield lemonade stand will be set up outside 200 N. Corporate Drive, in the Brookfield Lakes Corporate Center, at 11:30 a.m.
The Greendale stand will be located inside the Martin Luther High School parking lot, 5201 S. 76th Street, at 2:30 p.m.
These two new Wisconsin locations join Chick-fil-A's family of more than 1,800 restaurants in 39 states and Washington, D.C. Both restaurants are on schedule to open this September, when they will invite the local community to participate in the "First 100" free food promotion.
Brookfield police warn against phone scam
Brookfield residents are cautioned against a phone scam resurfacing this month.
Last week, at least four city of Brookfield residents were the victims of fraudulent calls that featured the caller impersonating a police officer. The caller then told the recipient that they had run a red light or missed their jury duty date and that the "officer" was going to put a warrant out for their arrest unless funds were transferred by the recipient of the calls using Vanilla Reload cards.
"We went through this about three to six months ago and we believe all the calls are coming from outside the country," Brookfield Police Department Captain Phil Horter said. "We don't have any leads."
Horter suggests suspicious calls from someone claiming to be a police officer work the same way as calls from people impersonating a bank asking for account information.
"Don't reply to these calls or make any payments until you call the appropriate agency. If somebody calls and says this is the city of Brookfield police, hang up, and call us," Horter said.» Read Full Article
Severson earns easy victory over challenger
Waukesha County GOP leaders were able to breathe a big sigh of relief when county sheriff's inspector Eric Severson eaily defeated challenger Tom Alioto, a former Lisbon police sergeant, in the Republican primary election Tuesday, Aug. 12.
These results will likely determine who will be sheriff for the next four years since there is no Democrat running in the heavily Republican county.
Severson earned 32,940 votes compared to Alioto's 5,485.
After the votes were counted, Severson said he was "happy" and "humbled" by the outcome.
"We stuck to our message that qualifications count and the voters sent us a strong message that they want someone who is qualified to serve them and that is what I will be honored to do," Severson added.» Read Full Article
Eric Severson wins landslide vote for Waukesha County sheriff
Eric Severson, the chief inspector for the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office, is bound to bear the sheriff's badge after a landslide victory in the Republican primary election.
With more than 70% of the vote counted Tuesday night, Severson earned about 86% of the vote — more than 26,000 supporters — in the race against Tom Alioto, a former Town of Lisbon police sergeant.
Alioto earned about 4,300 votes.
There is no Democratic candidate for Waukesha County sheriff.
The candidates were seeking to replace Dan Trawicki, who served as sheriff for 12 years but declined to run for a fourth term.» Read Full Article

I speak a bit of Perl, R, C, 6502 Assembler (yes, I'm that old), and I'm learning Javascript currently. After that will be Python, I suspect.
There's not a damned thing wrong with the serial comma, nor with adding two spaces after a period.
I prefer City of Heroes to Warcraft. I prefer how-to and textbooks to fiction and narrative non-fiction.
If you have to have a fictional personal hero, you could do a lot worse than Jubal Harshaw.
Minneapolis is a great place for both geeks and artists. I'm very fortunate to be living here when the geek and art cultures are so rich.

A "YES" vote will amend Missouri law to require large-scale dog breeding operations to provide each dog under their care with sufficient food, clean water, housing and space; necessary veterinary care; regular exercise and adequate rest between breeding cycles. The amendment further prohibits any breeder from having more than 50 breeding dogs for the purpose of selling their puppies as pets. The amendment also creates a misdemeanor crime of "puppy mill cruelty" for any violations.
A NO vote will not change the current Missouri law regarding dog breeders.

Global in Concept
Both the general concepts and specific tactics used by Schmidt and Blum apply wherever flutter jigging is practiced, whether it's in the inshore or offshore waters of the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Gulf of Mexico or Pacific. I've flutter jigged with good success for black sea bass off Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts; bluefish and striped bass off Connecticut; amberjack from Virginia Beach down through Key West; and tuna and wahoo off south Florida and in the Bahamas and Gulf of Mexico. Of course, there are subtleties involved with being species-specific, including leader selection and adapting to the environment you're fishing (i.e., in channels, bays, inlets, passes or canyons; over reefs or wrecks; or under bait and birds).
When fishing for toothy pelagics, I'll still stick with a fluorocarbon leader — unless the fish are so solid they're not deterred by a light (38- to 40-pound-test) single-strand wire leader. However, I'll change my retrieve. When dropping under floating debris and dolphin schools for wahoo, I'll let the flutter jig fall about 100 feet, then engage the drag and retrieve the jig as quickly and as straight as possible, so it looks like a healthy bait racing for the surface. That way if a wahoo strikes, it just may catch the flutter jig below the head and miss the fluorocarbon leader. If the jig were whipped in traditional fashion, a fish would likely strike on the fall, when the jig is ahead of the leader. When that happens, the fish catches the jig and leader on the bite, and you lose both jig and target!
Regardless of species, two things should remain foremost when selecting or rigging a flutter-style jig. Since line twist can become an issue due to the jigs' inherent erratic action, a swivel should be incorporated into the system, whether it's joining the leader and the fishing line or it's on the jig itself. This is especially true when you're using a flutter jig in conjunction with spin tackle. It's also important to add or make sure the jig has a solid eye ring. Avoid tying your line directly to the split-ring eye, as stories continue to mount on how fish are lost when the fishing line slides into the split ring — and eventually off of it.
Once you try flutter jigs over the course of several trips and review your score cards, you'll wonder why you didn't jump on the flutter-jig bandwagon a long time ago.
Flutter Jigging 101
1. Braided line is a must, because its thin diameter cuts through the water better than a monofilament of the same breaking strength. This enables lighter jigs to reach and hold bottom better. Braid telegraphs the feel and action of the jig and even the subtlest strike. There's no stretch, so positive hookups soar, especially with deep bottomfish.
2. Use small conventional reels and the new generation of light yet strong jigging and casting rods. Flutter jigging requires elbow grease, and lightweight tackle eliminates early fatigue.
3. Even though a flutter jig eye has a solid ring to tie to, use an overhand loop knot to join leader to lure. This will provide a bit more freedom for the jig to dance and maximize its action.
4. A single hook is proving just as effective as a dual setup. It's also easier on fish and the angler doing the releasing.
5. An increasing number of anglers have been replacing the standard J hook with an in-line circle hook and discovering better hookup and landing results.
6. Make sure a swivel is incorporated into the flutter-jig system. This will alleviate line twist caused by the action of the jig, particularly when fishing on spin tackle.
7. Avoid tying the leader to a split ring. There's a risk of losing your jig and fish because the leader can slip through the ring.

Missing targets not fazing Manning, Colts' passing attack
Colts QB Peyton Manning is further proving this season that he can post ridiculous numbers regardless of who his targets are.
Scobee's 59-yarder gives Jags win over Colbs
Josh Scobee's 59-yard field goal on the final play gave the Jacksonville Jaguars a 31-28 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Colts newcomer Tryon making presence felt
Justin Tryon, whom the Colts acquired in a deal last month, has been more than holding his own in spot duty at nickel back and particularly on special teams.
Colts rule out RB Brown, WR Garcon
The Colts ruled out RB Donald Brown and WR Pierre Garcon for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Both players were listed as questionable on Friday but did not travel with the team on Saturday.
Colts' McAfee a weapon in the kicking game
With all the star power on both sides of the ball in Indy, it's no surprise that P Pat McAfee doesn't receive many accolades, but his early-season success handling kickoff duties for the Colts is deserving of praise.
Colts rule out Sanders, Gonzalez, Conner for Week Four
The Colts have ruled out S Bob Sanders (biceps), WR Anthony Gonzalez (ankle) and LB Kavell Conner (foot) for their Week Four game against the Jaguars.
Collie's big day, stout red-zone 'D' spark Colts
A career day by WR Austin Collie and a defense that bent but didn't break propelled the Colts past the Broncos 27-13 in Week Three.
Collie has career game in Colts win
Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns even without Anthony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon and the Indianapolis Colts beat the crestfallen Denver Broncos 27-13 Sunday.
Colts' Garcon, Session will miss Denver game
Two starters, WR Pierre Garcon and WLB Clint Session, did not accompany the Colts to Denver, creating manpower shortages at both positions for Sunday's game.
Brown becoming bigger factor in Colts' ground game
Although his pass blocking needs more work, Colts RB Donald Brown is becoming more involved in Indianapolis' running attack, according to AFC South Whispers.
Colts rookies contribute in win over Giants
Two Colts rookies, TE Brody Eldridge and LB Kavell Conner, made a big impact in their first significant regular-season action in a Week Two victory over the Giants.
Four Colts starters miss practice with injuries
Four Colts starters were out of practice on Wednesday because of injuries. RB Joseph Addai (knee), LB Gary Brackett (back), LB Clint Session (hamstring) and OLT Charlie Johnson (right foot) were among the Colts missing practice.
Colts play like defending AFC champs
The Colts' ground game and "D" stole the spotlight from the Manning brothers in a 38-14 shellacking of the Giants on Sunday night.
Peyton, Colts cruise to 'Manning Bowl' victory
Four-time league MVP Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a surprisingly easy 38-14 victory over his kid brother and the New York Giants.
Colts' run 'D' must play with better gap integrity
The Colts' inability to stop Texans RB Arian Foster in Week One was in large part due to poor gap integrity.

Not that this year's RadioShack All-Star Futures Game on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field will determine home-field advantage at the Texas League World Series or anything like that, but since the game's inception in 1999, there's always been a sense that it's just a little bit more than a simple exhibition.
The 50 players filling the United States and World rosters know the game, televised live on ESPN2 at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, is meant to be an enjoyable time -- a chance to live the big-league life for a few days. It can't be too serious, not if MLB.com reporters are allowed in the dugout to get participants to answer e-mails from fans during the game (Send e-mails to your favorite minor leaguers now).
At the same time, they all know this is an honor and a wonderful opportunity to showcase what they can do on an extremely large stage. Playing in front of a national TV audience, a large media contingent, and many high-ranking team officials adds a certain amount of pressure and will certainly motivate many players to try and stand out in the seven-inning game. Knowing the Futures alumni list in the big leagues is 76 and growing doesn't hurt, either.
"Guys are going to go out there and just play," Red Sox third-base prospect Kevin Youkilis said. "Everyone's going to try pretty hard. It's more than an exhibition game, because you have all the media, all the hype, all the attention around you, so I think everyone's going to go out and play as hard as they can."
"I'm not going to treat it like an exhibition," A's pitching phenom Rich Harden said. "I'm going to treat it like a regular game and go out there and pitch how I know how to pitch."
Since a hurler like Harden will go an inning, tops, expect some outstanding performances on the mound. Instead of having to conserve energy and worry about mixing pitches to last deep into games, Harden can just air it out and crank it up. It's one of the few times baseball is a sprint instead of a marathon.
Because of the abbreviated performances, and the fact it's a rare time where one might see a Single-A hitter face a Triple-A pitcher, it's not exactly a place where scouting judgments can be made. But for people like Twins general manager Terry Ryan, it's still a place where information can definitely be added to the file.
"The good thing about it is as you go through the summer reading all these scouting reports and you can put a face to a name now," Ryan said. "I don't want to pretend that I can make an accurate evaluation after watching a pitcher pitch an inning or a guy get one or two at-bats. But it does give you a little flavor for their body type. You watch what they do in pre-game. You certainly evaluate some of that raw strength and raw power in pre-game, so you get a pretty good look. It's a fantastic way to see approximately 50 players in one day in one game."
It's not exactly the same 50 players who started out on the Futures Game roster when the teams were first announced. Mainly because of callups to the big leagues -- a positive for prospects, a headache for Futures Game organizers -- and an injury, there have been several alterations to the roster. Gone are Dan Haren, Victor Martinez, Antonio Perez and Laynce Nix, all called to the majors, as well as Angel Guzman, who is out for the year with a shoulder injury. They were replaced by Chris Narveson, Edgar Gonzalez, Pete LaForest and Chin Feng-Chen. Chen then got promoted on Friday, so he was replaced by Scott Thorman.
These changes do nothing to detract from the excitement and meaning of the Futures Game for all those involved. Since it began at Fenway Park in 1999 -- a game that saw Alfonso Soriano hit two homers as a first glimpse at what the All-Star starter could do on the baseball field -- it has grown in stature, particularly in minor league circles. Now, agents call Major League Baseball pushing clients to be included, and the game, once a novelty, is now a staple that all prospects would love to add to their resumes.
"It's quite an honor for me, getting a chance to go out there and show everybody what I can do," Twins catcher and former No. 1 overall pick Joe Mauer said. "I'm really excited to go to Chicago and play in this game."
"It's a pressure we're going to have to face eventually," Twins pitcher and Mauer's teammate J.D. Durbin said about the increased crowds, hype and attention. "It's a stepping stone and hopefully Joe and I can get over it together."
"Getting invited alone is a feat in itself," Youkilis added.
There aren't many concepts in this world that are win-wins for everyone involved. Just five years into its existence, it appears the Futures Game is one of them.
"I've always thought this is one of the better things Major League Baseball has instituted the last couple of years," Ryan said. "When you go in and watch these guys, as far as the media attention, the exposure, the scouting, playing in the Major League park, and playing in front of the 30 or 40,000 people the have there, it can be nothing but a pleasurable experience for the player, the organization and the families."

Frenchie can hit. When Myriam Lebied-Julien signed on with the Buccaneer volleyball team, the freshman from Riom, France, nicknamed "Frenchie" by her teammates, expected to play as a setter. After all, that was her specialty. Or so she had been told. But it wasn't long after fall training camp began for the Dawson Community College women that Coach John Marble said Julien's talent as a hitter began to show. "We realized that she could contribute as an outside hitter," Marble said. "She reads the court very well and can find the open spot on the floor.
