Silverglate's thesis is as provocative as it is simple: justice has become sufficiently perverted in this nation that federal prosecutors, if they put their minds to it, could find a way to indict almost any one of us for almost anything. It is a truly radical notion.
Silverglate presents a series of freestanding case studies that range from Wall Street to the Massachusetts State House, to Boston City Hall, to a suburban doctor's office, to a Midwest university, to the newsroom of the New York Times.
At this curious moment in history, Silverglate's book might not shock either the left or the right. For some time now, the two opposing wings of the American centrist polity have been alarmed by the predatory nature of our national government. For those in the middle of the political spectrum, however, Silverglate's book should be a bracing wake-up call. Liberty and freedom are being compromised, one prosecution at a time.

The good: For the most part, the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Things like walking into the dining room...everyone welcomed us like we were royalty. The food in the dining room was very good. Our waiters bent over backwards for us. People raved about the buffet at the Horizon, but I was not impressed. It doesn't help that I do not like buffets (especially on cruise ships were illnesses can be a problem.) We ate at the Crown Grill on the last night and it is worth the $25 bucks. I found the entertainment to be,well,very entertaining. The comedy shows were some of the best I have seen. Music and dance entertainers were very good.
The ports we visited were absolutely beautiful. We did not spend a fortune on excursions and they were wonderful. If you are interested in buying jewelry on the islands, I highly recommend going to the shopping seminar hosted by Marty Frost on the first full sea day. He is a wealth of information.
Overall, a wonderful cruise!

Looking for a sweet treat? You might want to check out the newest addition to downtown Bismarck.
Sweet Treats Cupcake Bar and Bakery is now open on 4th Avenue in Downtown Bismarck.
Owner Rachel Allerdings originally from Minot fell in love with baking at an early age helping her mom in the kitchen.
So when she and her family moved back to North Dakota a couple of years ago opening a bakery seemed like icing on the cake.
"One thing we really specialize in is our build your own cupcake bar you come in choose your cupcake and type of frosting and then two toppings to mix in some people choose sprinkle some cocoanut its really up to you."
Sweet Treats is open Monday-Friday 9:30 to 5:30 and Saturday's 10-2.
And if your prefer to eat lunch before desert, Sweet Treats has you covered.
The serve homemade soups and sandwiches from 11-2 daily.
If you are looking to add a little spice to your day...An Authentic Mexican redcurrant, Taco Palenque, is opening soon.
The owners say they hope to open sometime next week and are just waiting on a final inspection.
There are 15 other Taco Palenque locations in South Texas, this will be the first in North Dakota.
It was suppose to open after remodeling last spring, but the Missouri River had other plans. The Pier Restaurant and bar in South Port is planning to reopen on May 1st.
Co-owner Judy Moritz says last summer the restaurant took on a foot of water, but after a second remodel it is almost ready to re-open.
But it wont look quite like it did before, Moritz says they have moved the kitchen to the south end are only reopening the downstairs and deck.
The menu will feature 21 of their most popular items and they will offer a boat side to go option as well.
Taking you around town I'm Megan Lowry.
Also the Mysteria theater is up for sale in Mandan... The club that was currently running was evicted.
Now the building owner says buyers are welcome.
In addition, both had recently been released from state prison.

Agreed. While I agree most of what OP had to say, he took the average of RR against Hoke's best season. If you look at the direction that the wins each season was/is going RR was at least on the upswing and Hoke has been on the downswing. They both finished their third season with 7 wins. And it's not like Hoke magically built up the team in a single off season. I love Hoke, but that wording is completely disingenuous.

|The loophole that Aereo found
The loophole that Aereo found is based on the fact that the signal was being broadcast for free. ABC could have easily fixed this themselves by preventing the signal from being broadcast over the air, but then they'd lose out on advertising revenue. It was publicly stated that if the SCOTUS didn't rule in their favor that this was plan B. Now, they can have their cake and eat it too.
I wouldn't mind if this really was violating some kind of law or if the law was changed to ban this, but if you go through the steps, you can't find a legal issue with this. The reasoning behind the ruling boils down to the fact that it should be illegal (and I can agree with that), but the fact that it isn't illegal should mean that they have to rule in the favor of Aereo. I can legally buy an antenna and a DVR and host them at my house. I can legally rent an antenna and a DVR and host them at my house. Shouldn't I be legally allowed to rent an antenna and a DVR and have someone else host them for me? Their answer to this is no because they think that it looks like something else that is illegal.

|Some estimates come from cable companies. Others
Some estimates come from cable companies. Others are calculated. For example, I saw an article a couple of years ago that stated ESPN receives $5 per cable subscription and only 25% of those subscribed actually watched the channel. So, in order ESPN to maintain their current revenue, they'd need to charge $20 and retain all of their viewers. That doesn't account for people who would only get it for the season either. It's tricky to calculate, but I'd imagine that ESPN would go to a more predictable model like PPV. In any event, I think the price of sports channels will go through the roof.
|15 weeks 4 days ago
|I'm not sure where they get
I'm not sure where they get the $37 from. MLB.tv costs $20/month. I've seen estimates that ESPN alone would need to charge $20/month minimum to break even in terms of revenue and that didn't take into account people dropping the channel after the season for their sport of choice is over.
Also, it's not just the $37 for sports. It's the $30 (rumors from a while back) for HBO and $10 each for FX, AMC, ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS (or insert whichever channels your favorite TV shows are on) that all add up to $127 while cutting out those other channels that you don't watch. Maybe you don't watch any TV shows, but a majority of people do and they will have a hard time cutting out various stations due to their shows being on them.

First, all of the other characters are aging faster in the show. He needs to age at the same rate. I believe he was supposed to be 8 at the start of the show (6 in the books, but all kids got bumped up a year or two), so, assuming that the chronology of events is spaced out evenly with the seasons (based on the other kids aging at that rate), he should be around 12 this season.
Second, if you think the backlash after the rape scene was bad, wait until they hint at a 12-year-old, let alone an 8-year-old, getting married and potentially having sex with what basically amounts to an adult woman. I don't think that they are going to touch that one with a ten-foot pole.
Basically, I'm fine with how they are handling the child actors getting older. Unless they plan on changing out the actors every season to keep them young, there's not a whole lot that they can do.

At one point, Jerry Williams was in charge one of the largest banks in Southwest Florida. But now he is facing fraud and money laundering charges. We spoke to a former employee who says the mismanagement cost him more than $500,000.
While the former Orion Bank employee was willing to speak Thursday night, he didn't want his face shown.
Two years ago, he and 250 others were told their bank was shutting down and their retirements went away with it.
The former employee goes on to say he lost more than a half-million dollars.
"It was several hundreds of thousands of dollars: gone," he said. "The company was an awesome company brought down by one man."
That man, he says, is former CEO Jerry Williams. He is charged with conspiracy, money laundering, mail fraud, among many other federal charges.
Federal investigators say Orion Bank needed to raise capital and that began a series of illegal transactions to keep the company alive.
"There were a lot of people that put a lot of their lives into the company that lost it all," said the former employee.
Now, several former employees have joined together to sue the company and its directors.
The bank has since been bought by Iberia, where we are told some of those plaintiffs in the lawsuit work today.
"It didn't have to end like this. It was a great company," the former Orion employee said.
In addition to Williams, three other men were also charged with fraud or conspiracy and signed plea agreements:

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Full forecast and current conditions are always available on your mobile device.
Click here to download our StormTrack Mobile App.
Three people are dead, another injured, after an early Sunday morning shooting at a Fremont bar.
The victims are Jose "Andy" Chavez, an off-duty Elmore Police officer, bartender Ramiro Sanchez, and customer Daniel Ramirez.
Another customer, Ramiro Arreola, was wounded and hospitalized for treatment.
His condition is not known.
All the flags in Elmore are flying at half staff honoring the memory of 26-year-old Officer Chavez.
He's been on the force for two years, is married and has two children.
"He was a super nice guy. Very well liked in the area. I just can't understand it. Doesn't make much sense at all," said Elmore resident Melinda Chevalier.
Officer Chavez and the others were inside the Last Call Bar in Fremont.
The gunman is on the loose and is being pursued by U.S. Marshalls.
He's described as short and Hispanic.
"He had been in that bar for some time and there was an altercation of some kind and it went horribly bad and caused this tragedy," said Fremont Police Chief Timothy Wiersma.
Outside the bar, a memorial of flowers and balloons continues to grow for the victims.
Nathaniel Dickman brought flowers for his friend Ramiro Sanchez, the slain bartender.
Mr. Dickman lives above the bar and was in bed when he heard gunshots.
"I heard a lot of frantic people screaming. It was just chaos. I didn't know if it was coming up through my floor. I didn't get up for a few minutes. When I did, it was complete chaos, people crying outside, very sad," said Mr. Dickman.
Fremont Police are questioning patrons in the bar.
Surveillance tape is also being examined that may reveal a motive and provide a good look at the suspect.
"It's a helluva shame and I hope they catch whoever did it," said Ms. Chevalier.
Meanwhile, the Elmore Police Department has released a statement calling Officer Chavez "an exemplary officer in good standing with the department."

Affordable health care is in the prayers of Vermont's Interfaith Action members.
For many of the state's poor, health insurance costs will rise substantially when the state moves to an exchange program because of changes to current subsidies like Catamount Health.
The group says they fear the new system will make insurance too expensive for many, so clergy are pressing lawmakers to find ways to bring the prices down.
"As a person of faith, I believe we are all one another's neighbors. What happens with one of us affects all of us," says Rev. Mara Dowdall of the Unitarian Church of Montpelier.
The group says they support the soda tax or other potential funding sources that would help close the gap.

#Podcast – Then and now: Two years of the New York Times paywall
Just two days ago in the UK the Telegraph launched a metered paywall, which would require subscription once users exceed a 10 article allowance, following the introduction of the model for international-only traffic last year.
The Telegraph's model was described as having a "New York Times-style 'meter'", and was launched in the same week as the New York Times's paywall reaches two years in operation – two years today, in fact.
So in this week's podcast we speak to general manager for core digital products at the New York Times Paul Smurl about how the environment in 2011 at launch differs to that today, when it comes to launching an online payment model. We also discuss the impact of the metered model on the rest of the industry with Robert Picard, director of research at the Reuters Institute and Tim Cain, head of research and insight at the Association of Online Publishers.

While it isn't oft publicized, Pixar and DreamWorks have quite a little game of swapping going on that basically started right from the beginning. Need evidence? Well you know Pixar's Toy Story and DreamWorks had a remarkably similar film in Small Soldiers. DreamWorks had Antz and Pixar A Bug's Life. Pixar had Finding Nemo, DreamWorks Shark Tale and so on and so forth. Pixar led the monster genre with Monsters Inc. but DreamWorks had even bigger ambitions in mind when they decided to enter the game in 2009.
Monsters are good science fiction fun but then again so are aliens. Rather than choose between the two, DreamWorks wisely opted to pit them against each other in a plot that works way better than the title insinuates possible. The big gag surrounding this one in its theatrical debut was that it was DreamWorks' first 3D motion picture (a trend that has been slowly gaining momentum of late). Of course my encounter with this one was limited to the realm of high definition LED display and the power of the BluRay so I cannot comment on the 3D effects in this critique.
The story tells of typical California girl Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is unwittingly clobbered on her wedding day by a meteor full of mysterious space gunk. The encounter results in her growing to 49-feet-11-inches tall.
As is expected in a 1950s B-movie spoof, the military jumps into action and captures the freshly mutated girl and transports her to a covert government compound where she is renamed Ginormica.
The confused and abused gentle giant finds herself placed in confinement with a ragtag group of Monsters: the brilliant insect/ mad scientist Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie); a fish man thawed mid evolution named The Missing Link (Will Arnet); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (Seth Rogen); and a 350-foot grub known only as Insectosaurus.
Their confinement & governmental study is cut short, however, when a deadly alien robot lands on Earth and begins wreaking havoc upon the planet. In a moment of desperation, the president thanks in no small part to the persuasion of General WR Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) decides to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
On the surface, it's a pretty decent plot and honestly, the potential for depth or layered plot structure are certainly secondary considerations to the primary goal of presenting really, really impressive visuals and near-constant stabs at humor. The latter has much to do with the cast even over the writing as it was the adlibbing of Seth Rogen, Will Arnet and Hugh Laurie that manage to inspire the giggles over the in-your-face gags and comedic setups.
The textures, lighting, and rendering are simply stellar throughout (again even discounting the 3D experience) and hold up still even in this ever-advancing industry. The pacing is fairly consistent if a bit more plodding than what is considered standard fair in the kid-friendly computer animated feature film game. In fact, with a runtime of 94-minutes, the sensation that it's a bit longer than most films of the sort is no mere illusion.
However, the film comes up a little short in the area of providing the sheer cleverness commonly found in the top entries to the CG-game. It's got enough humorous moments and visual charm to make the experience rewarding regardless, but the potential for absolute greatness is frequently apparent.
In all Monsters Versus Aliens follows the formula that most of DreamWorks' heavily hyped (exception Kung-Fu Panda and the Shreks) films in that a bit of structure inconsistency takes away from what could be a true top contender. It's good fun, awesome to behold, and offers up some genuine hilarity at times. At the end of the day, that's a resume strong enough even for a monster.

Boy in custody for Germantown house fire
Germantown - A 12-year-old boy was arrested Thursday on suspicion of setting the fire that destroyed his family's home at N11546 Shadow Wood Drive, Police Chief Peter Hoell said.
Hoell described the boy as being responsible for the fire but did not release other information.
Douglas and Sadie Bugni and their eight other children safely fled the burning two-story residence after a neighbor, Richard Hanson, woke them about 1:10 a.m., Hoell said. Damage to the home, garage and vehicles is estimated at $500,000.
The suspect was found outside the home after a search, Hoell said. The nine children include six girls, ages 12, 6, 6, 5, 3 and 1. The two other boys are ages 15 and 8.
Hanson lives next door and ran to help the Bugni family after he saw smoke and flames coming from their home, Hoell said. Hanson's daughter, Katie, called 911.» Read Full Article
Germantown affirms heavyweight status
Perhaps first-year Greenfield coach Joe Koch had the best perspective on the disparity between Germantown and the Hustlin' Hawks on Friday, Aug. 22, in the season opener for both teams.
"We're like an amateur boxer who stepped up to try and fight Mike Tyson in his prime," said Koch, who is embarking in his fourth reclamation project, having previously turned around programs at Whitefish Bay Dominican, Oak Creek and Pius XI.
The way Germantown rolled to the 56-7 victory in Datka Stadium was very familiar to Koch; he's seen it from his teams in the past.
The Warhawks turned a 7-0 first-quarter lead into a 42-0 halftime cushion that invoked the WIAA's running clock mercy rule throughout the second half. Germantown needed just eight plays in the second quarter to put up those 35 points.
"You want to see guys not let down and play down a level," Germantown coach Jake Davis said. "Great teams will continue to play great no matter who they face. That's what I was looking for out of these guys."» Read Full Article
Oak Creek rallies for victory over Falls
For 2 1/2 quarters on Friday, the Menomonee Falls football team, despite giving up hundreds of pounds of line weight and years of experience to visiting Oak Creek, had the Knights on the ropes to the tune of a 10-0 deficit in opening-night action.
But then the Knights forgot all their lofty, preseason rankings and just started playing football.
They scored two quick touchdowns in the third quarter and then held on to overwhelm the game Indians by a 20-10 to count.
"This should serve as a lesson to us," said Oak Creek coach Mike Bartholomew to the team afterwards on the muggy, foggy evening. "We are not the hunter this year; we are the hunted. We've got to practice like we're in second place all week long and then play like we're in first place all game long."
One key player who did do that this evening was senior defensive back/receiver Doran Turchin. Turchin, the NOW Newspapers Baseball Player of the Year for the Knights, did not play football last season in order to concentrate on baseball, but he made his presence felt in his return to the gridiron.» Read Full Article
Preps football photos of the week: Aug. 22
As August ends, the Wisconsin preps football season begins.
Games started Thursday and continued through Saturday as programs faced off against Week 1 opponents.
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 1.
Peeping Tom caught in the act at Germantown bar
Germantown — A man accused of peeping through a bathroom door vent at a Germantown bar has been taken into custody.
Two undercover police officers who were monitoring the situation after an initial report on August 15 caught the 40-year-old West Bend man in the act at 12:22 a.m. August 21 at Gamroth's Khurburg Junction, W140 N10385 Fond du Lac Avenue.
When a woman went into the bathroom, the officers caught the man looking through the bathroom door vent for a second time, according to Germantown Police Chief Peter Hoell.
The man was arrested on two counts of invasion of privacy and disorderly conduct, and is currently being held at the Washington County Jail.
Reports will be completed and forwarded to the Washington County District Attorney's Office for charging purposes.
Menomonee Falls considers its twelfth TIF
Menomonee Falls — Advanced Waste is out, and a new tax-incremental financing district could be in. The village's recent settlement with the Milwaukee-based industrial waste treatment business was part of a much larger long-term plan for the area as village officials consider a new industrial TIF district along the east and west sides of Lilly Road, north of Silver Spring Drive in the Manhardt Drive area.
About three weeks after the village board approved a $2.8 million settlement agreement with AWS authorizing the purchase of 21.6 acres of land, an initial meeting of the Joint Review Board was held this morning to review proposed plan for TIF No. 12.
Including what would have been the new home of a ChemWorks industrial waste processing business, the proposed TIF 107.5 acres of land that Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald said could become the home to up to seven new light industrial businesses.
The majority of the land within the proposed district is currently zoned for heavy industrial development, so Fitzgerald said something of a smaller scale will be a better fit in the area. The plan includes vacant land in addition to the AWS site, which will be completely redeveloped as part of the estimated $3 million in improvements to the area.
TIF is a mechanism that allows municipalities to borrow money to fund infrastructure improvements for an area that otherwise would be difficult to develop or redevelop. The increased property tax revenue from the improved land is then diverted from the tax roll to pay off the loan.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Avenue facelift almost complete
Menomonee Falls — The much-needed facelift to Menomonee Avenue has been revealed, and while village officials know its not as good as new, it is certainly an improvement.
At an estimated cost of about $200,000, the repaving project removed rough spots and resurfaced the stretch of road between Appleton Avenue and Town Hall Road. Originally slated for late-May, the project was delayed until August due to the high demand of contractors during the summer months.
It was the first time the village attempted this kind of repaving project, which essentially recycles existing roadway and reuses the asphalt. Taking just about a week to complete, Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald said the village will likely use the method again elsewhere in the village.
In the meantime, village officials plan to continue seeking state assistance to fund a complete $3 million overhaul of the road, hopefully by 2018.
Menomonee Falls revises policy on placement of campaign signs
Menomonee Falls — If you plan on running for office in Menomonee Falls any time soon, take head. Village officials are cracking down on the location and placement of campaign signs throughout the community.
The Village Board on August 18 approved a new campaign sign policy that trustee Steve Raymonds said provides more clear definitions of where signs can and cannot be located, as well as how police enforce the policy. Under the new policy, campaign signs must be located on private property and only with permission from the property owner can be placed 12 feet from the back of the curb in urban areas with curb and gutter or 18 feet from the edge of the street in rural areas with roadside drainage ditches.
Signs may not be placed between the curb and gutter and sidewalk, between the edge of the street pavement and walking paths or roadside drainage ditches, in the grass area adjacent to the street pavement, on boulevard medians or on power and telephone poles.
"The new policy is more expedient, that when (police) see signs placed incorrectly, they will not need to call the people, they'll just take the signs down to let them know they have them," Raymonds explained. "(This is) a much more simplified and also expedient proposal."
The more proactive approach to enforcement was sanctioned by the police department, according to Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald who said this will become a part of regular patrol activity.» Read Full Article
Water rates in Menomonee Falls could spike as much as 9 percent
Menomonee Falls — The fight to keep water rates down continues in Menomonee Falls.
The proposed 28.7 percent increase to the village of Menomonee Falls Milwaukee Water Works has dropped slightly to 26.6 percent, but that is not enough of a decrease to save the average homeowner in the village from a water bill spike of as much as 9 percent.
Director of Utilities Jeff Nettesheim on August 18 updated the board on the status of the proposed increase, which is currently in the final stages of review by the Public Service Commission.
As it stands, the increase would affect the 87 percent of homeowners whose water is sourced from Lake Michigan. The other 13 percent of the village west of the subcontinental divide is serviced by wells. The exact figures will not be known until the Public Service Commission approves it, which it hopes to do by August. The PSC does not have oversight of sewer rates.
It is the second time in recent years the village was faced with the potential for an increase of this size. In 2010, a proposed 36 percent hike was reduced to 8.2 percent through negotiations with the PSC. A consultant team has been testifying on the village's behalf to the PSC, which is expected to make a decision by mid-September.» Read Full Article
Work on Menomonee River Bridge begins tonight
Germantown — On the evening of Monday, Aug. 18, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will begin a $4 million reconstruction project of less than a mile of Highway 41/45 at the Menomonee River Bridge, immediately west of Maple Road.
The project includes removing the existing northbound and southbound roadway and bridges; reconstructing the roadway and bridges, retaining walls, concrete barrier and high tension cable guard; replacing beam guards, storm sewer and permanent signing and restoring landscaping.
The project will be completed in four stages to allow for three lanes of traffic in each direction of the freeway during daily peak hours of travel. Although there may be temporary lane closures in the area during off-peak hours, the freeway will remain open to traffic at all times and no detour route will be necessary.
The contractor, Edward Kraemer and Sons, plans on completing the project by June 2015.

Nicolet cancels varsity football season
In a stunning development, Nicolet High School has elected to cancel the varsity football season in 2014, citing a lack of numbers within the program. The season was slated to begin with a game against Waukesha South on Aug. 22.
A statement from Nicolet athletics director Kirk Krychowiak was released Thursday and reads as follows:
"Nicolet High School has always considered excellence in athletics to be a key component of the quality education we provide to our students. The success we have achieved in our athletic programs is a direct result of the enthusiasm of our coaches, students and the community.

Brandtjen tops GOP field in Assembly primary
Menomonee Falls — Republican Janel Brandtjen will face off against Democrat Jessie Read for Wisconsin State Assembly District 22 in the Nov. 4 general election. With 60 percent of the votes, Brandtjen defeated Blair Rogacki (27 percent) for the GOP nomination in the primary election Tuesday, Aug. 12, while Nick Oliver was third with 13 percent.
"I'm humbled by the support of thousands of my friends and neighbors, and am grateful that they chose me to represent them in Madison," said Brandtjen, of Menomonee Falls. "This is a solemn responsibility and I will defend our values, fight for fiscal responsibility, and always be listening to the voters who chose me to speak for them."
Brandtjen, Oliver and Rogacki competed to represent the Republican party, as Republican incumbent Don Pridemore is stepping down after 10 years in the position. Jessie Read of Lisbon ran unopposed for the Democratic spot for the seat, which was created in 2010 and includes all of the towns of Erin and Lisbon, the villages of Lannon, Butler and portions of the villages of Richfield and Menomonee Falls.
Brandtjen has a bachelor of science degree in finance and marketing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She owns and operates Group One Marketing, Inc. in Menomonee Falls and is married with two children.
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

after she pleaded guilty to tax, mail and food stamp fraud.A Menomonee Falls woman has been sentenced to 30 months in prison
Tiffiny Harden, 30, filed fake tax returns that netted her more than $120,000 in refunds, according to federal court documents.

Whitefish Bay latest to enact sex offender residency rules
Whitefish Bay has become the latest municipality in Milwaukee County to enact an ordinance imposing residency restrictions on registered sex offenders.
River Hills, Shorewood and Hales Corners are contemplating enacting ordinances as well.
If those villages pass ordinances, each community would have some form of residency restrictions for sex offenders.
The recent rush to restrict sex offenders appears to be a reaction to Milwaukee's new ordinance, which severely restricts the placement of registered sex offenders in the city. Mayor Tom Barrett, who with other city officials has said the city has had to house a disproportionate number of sex offenders compared with other municipalities, has called on the state Department of Corrections to come up with a statewide solution.
In River Hills, Village President Robert Brunner said the board would meet in September to discuss a residency restriction ordinance.» Read Full Article

Swindon and District Animal Sanctuary needs to rehome more than 300 animals
4:00pm Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in News By Emma Dunn, @EmmaDunnn
ANIMAL sanctuary boss John Warwick is appealing for homes for more than 300 animals before a court appearance at the end of the month.
The owner of the Swindon and District Animal Haven, in Royal Wootton Bassett, was banned from keeping farm animals for 10 years and domestic animals for four years when he appeared before Chippenham Magistrates in November 2011.
The 54-year-old, who has appealed to the High Court to reverse the decision, pleaded guilty to breaching the ban at Chippenham Magistrates last month, and is hoping to find homes for the animals in his care before he is sentenced on January 29.
"To ban me from having animals is crazy. We have been doing this for 16 years and you can't just turn that off," he said.
"When someone phones you up saying they have tried the RSPCA and the Blue Cross and various places and none of them can help, what can you do?
"There are so many different reasons why people need help and you can't really say no, not when you have been doing it for 16 years.
"Since I have been banned we have rehomed 458 cats and dogs. That shows there is a need. They would have been destroyed unless we took them in. We don't take in any animal unless nobody else will.
"We have been trying not to take any in but if they are going to be destroyed then we have got to. I have to do it – if not, these animals will be killed.
"If I could find someone else that could do what I do they could take over and it would be lovely. Nobody can give the time that I do."
John needs to rehome 30 cats, 12 rabbits, a couple of dogs and about 300 hens.
Last year, John appealed against the ban at Swindon Crown Court but his appeal was quashed.
It came after he admitted four offences of animal cruelty under the Animal Welfare Act, which related to pigs he kept at the family-owned Warwick Farm.
It is thought the High Court decision about his appeal to reverse the ban will also be given at the court case at the end of the month.
"You can't just turn everything off just because you have got an appeal going through. The legal process is taking a long time. We can't let the animals die and they can't expect us to," he added.
John says his solicitor has advised him to rehome all the animals before his next appearance.
"Somehow or other the sanctuary will keep going, even if I'm not involved. My son, Matthew, said he will help out," he said.
"We have a great team of volunteers. We will make sure the place is still going. Since we have been doing this we have helped out more than 150,000 people."
To rehome any of the animals email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 07990 868887.

I reckon the man deserves a break, give him a chance, and, too, it would help him and the rescued animals if some more animal saviours came forward to help him, do you not think? And, too, take in to account many animals' lives are at stake here!

- Nice transformationjarlkrDined on 8/15/2014We had Avery nice meal food was very good service was also . Very pleasant music being played by a Violinist overall very nice choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Monday night dinnerLandenbergianDined on 8/11/2014I had the tenderloin tip tortellini and my companion had the frutti di mare. We shared a glass of the Macmurray ranch pinot noir. We were satisfied.Special Features:
- Lovely food in college atmosphereRocdocDined on 8/5/2014We went there to celebrate a birthday on a Tuesday evening. Wine by the bottle was 1/2 price, which made the evening much better. The food was excellent but the environment somewhat noisy for elderly people and service a bit slow. Overall very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what it used to beTooBlueVIPDined on 8/4/2014This used to be a regular place for us even if it was out of the way from our home. They make an effort to bring you back with occasional coupons. Their service has always been haphazard, this time it was better than usual. Unfortunately that was not the case for the food, they are clearly starting to skimp. The antipasti had only 2 small pieces of meat, the rest some olives and vegetables. The salad did not fill the plate, more croutons than anything else. The pesto was lacking in basil flavor and pasta overcooked and swimming in oil. Will probably not return.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/31/2014As always the food was very good. I had the mussels appetizer, the sauce was outstanding, but the muessls were very small, not plump, and somewhat overcooked. The beef tenderloin-mushroom pasta dish had great pasta and sauce, some of the pieces of tenerloing were a little chewy, but otherwise, the dish was superb. My friend had the veal chop which he requested "medium" and it came out very rare and had to be sent back. Not a big deal, but the waiter specified mashed potatos and it came out with fingerling potatos instead. He asked for an appetizer of noodles with bolognase sauce, which, despite the sauce being on the menu they could not acconmodate. The ched did make a special carbonara. Serice overall was spotty.Special Features:
- MMCSDined on 7/28/2014We had an enjoyable evening. All the staff was very friendly and attentive, and our waiter was fantastic…very friendly. We are looking forward to going again!Special Features:
- Excellent as usual.going2mauiDined on 7/26/2014Great food, great service. Will come back again in the near future.Special Features:
- Consistently great fine diningDavidsonJackDined on 7/22/2014We love Caffe Gelato in Newark for the consistently great fine dining experience. We were greeted pleasantly by Hostess Allison who facilitated our Open Table reservation with a special request for a half moon booth in the new section. Our waiter Garrett performed admirably with a smile each time he attentively approached the table. Our dinner choice was Tenderloin Tip Tortellini Filet mignon tips sautéed with shiitake, button and portabella mushrooms, roasted garlic, baby spinach and roasted shallots, finished with a Marsala cream sauce over goat cheese and ricotta stuffed house-crafted tortellini ($ 24.75). Thanks to being on the mailing list our dinner got a $20 credit.Special Features:
- caffe gelatostilllookingDined on 7/21/2014I was there to celebrate my 50th with my family. I always get coupons in mail so I looked at menu online and it looked great. I had the polenta and short rib app. Beef tender but no flavor at all. Scallop entrée. Scallops cooked well. Peach relish did not belong. Tasted like canned corn and the peaches had no flavor. Asparagus woody. Entrée was luke warm. Others had filet which was very tough, brussel sprouts dry and cold. Pasta with shrimp and crab, shell in first bite. I really wanted to like this place. Hopefully it will improve. I brought the leftovers home and then threw them away. Server Eddie was great!Special Features:
- Collage Town ResturantDiDiDined on 7/20/2014I'm in Delaware at least 4 times each year and we always go to Caffe Gelato as my step-daughter is a vegetating and they are happy to help her create food items. We all love the food BUT the service is another story. This past Sunday was very slow and we till had to wait almost 20 min.s for our first round of drinks. The staff was in the private wine room eating fast food and not giving a hoot what was going on in the restaurant. I drink what I think is a very simple drink, gray goose shaken ice cold straight up. I was asked 2 times what did you want & served a warm drink. The front of the house needs some serious work and a seasoned manager.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great as always!TeachDined on 7/19/2014As usual awesome food, great drinks, wonderful service, and the best gelato. I have also attended their wine tastings and wine dinners and have enjoyed both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything was excellent!new2DEDined on 7/18/2014No issues whatsoever. The service was exemplary and the ambience was the best in downtown Newark. We had the wine room at the front and it made the evening ideal. We a were able to shut the for when we needed a quieter moment for conversations on a very busy Friday night at Gelatos. Incredible food quality and selection for a fair price. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No change from last timenewark123Dined on 7/16/2014I haven't been to Caffe Gelato for many years due to a bad experience, and generally not impressed. So I went again as my friends wanted to go there. Same experience. Average to poor service. Overpriced food with average food. Young college kids working that aren't customer oriented - just going through the motions. A very simple request to have black olives on the Caesar salad. Instead of the server saying that they don't have black olives, he sets it down and says nothing. Okay - maybe he doesn't know the difference. He did - when it was mentioned to him he said "yeah, I figured they would put kalamata olives on it." When were you going to tell me.
- Good food, but expensivehonestopinionDined on 7/13/2014My wife and I had the pan seared ahi tuna entree which was just fine, nothing out of the ordinary. We had three kids who only ordered entrees, only I had a glass of wine and we each had one scoop of gelato for dessert. The bill for the five of us was over $200, which I think is too expensive for the amount of food we were actually served. The food is good, but it's expensive.
- toddVIPDined on 7/12/2014Food was great. Had the Tuna Steak again, and this time was better than any of the previous. Prepared perfectly, seared on outside and the inside was of high quality to the taste. Quinoa with eggplant was excellent as well.Special Features:
- The best in Newark4stardinnerDined on 7/11/2014A 4 star resturant in a college town! Awesome softshell crabs and the pasta is outstanding. The service is top notch. The gelato is the best you will find outside of Italy!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must go when in Newark!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/9/2014Caffe Gelato has everything! The food is delicious and the servers are excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TrubyDined on 7/8/2014It's a great spot for a meeting. You have choices. If you want a bistro scene, they have it. If you want a spot for a quiet negotiation, it's there too. And if you enjoy a European flair for outside dining, all the better.Special Features:
- DisappointedfoodicoupleDined on 7/6/2014Service slow, had chicken over pasta - overcooked dark meat instead of breast noted on menu, steak over salad also overcooked, appetizers were acceptable, Cudos to manager who called to appoligizeSpecial Features:
- Great bunch - outdoors!RunningSapDined on 7/6/2014We went to Sunday brunch and were surprised to find an outside table in the shade. The food was outstanding. My wife had a salad with scallops. I had calamari and lentil chorizo soup. Both very tasty. Had wonderful service (mcKenzie), again. We'll be back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy as Always!JohnVIPDined on 6/27/2014Café Gelato rarely fails to make me feel good inside. The wines are nice. This time I ordered a salad which was very scrumptious, with yellow beets and some sort of marinated poached pears and marcona almonds-great flavors when all put together. My shrimp and lump crabmeat linguine is my favorite dish and (ordered as low sodium) was excellent. Jeff, our waiter, was impeccable as usual. He is the best waiter (and most handsome) at Gelato !Special Features:
- Good foodFuzzof1980Dined on 6/24/2014Specials are always interesting and always good, as is all the food.Special Features:
- Patio diningGDudeVIPDined on 6/22/2014Ahh, the joys of summer! With the CIty of Newark back into a quiet urban mode for a few weeks, it was the right time to enjoy Cafe Gelato's patio and a great meal. Our wiater was very attentive, the food and beverages were properly served and a fine relaxing dining experince was enjoyed. Now, if only the City would relax its parking regulations! Even on Sunday, you need to keep your quarters handy or have acredit card at the ready. But, don't let that issue sway you from enjoying a nice meal and atmosphere at Cafe Gelato!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Going down hillGoodWineGoodFoodDined on 6/21/2014Gelato's used to be our go to location in Newark for a great meal on special occasions. Food and Service were unmatched in the area. Now unfortunately (4 visits in the past 3 months) both the food and the services has declined to the point that we will not go back. When the owner is present, the experience is better, but when he is not there, it is just another college town eatery.
- BobdinerDined on 6/21/2014Great home made pasta dishes. The gelato doesn't have the richness of that in Italy, but it's very good nonetheless.Special Features:
- food and noise levelcathodDined on 6/20/2014Had a very good waiter but it did seem to take quite a while to get served. Noticed that folks who came in after us were served before we were. When I got my Eggplant Parmesan It was just warm and a little on the dry side. I think that it might have been sitting out for a little while in the back before I got it. Sorry if I am sounding so negative but to the 3 of us at my table, we felt that the noise level was high and a bit distracting. Your restaurant was charming and everyone we dealt with was very professional and pleasant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerblueroxDined on 6/16/2014This is my favorite restaurant! Always a treat to eat here. A good value and delicious food (always). We shared the artisan cheese plate (yummy) and I had the diver scallop special with cous cous pilaf (perfectly cooked and beautifully presented). Contacted the restaurant ahead of time and they accommodated a custom dessert. Highly recommend this restaurant!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ljwiVIPDined on 6/11/2014Great food, great staff!! ThanksSpecial Features:
- Nice RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/7/2014We had a small group and had dinner in their wine room. Was nice ambiance and service. Food was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice when you have a couponGoingoutonightDined on 6/7/2014Great food and service but expensive with entrees that can top $34. Nice if you have a coupon which they have special pricing often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrunchDofDEDined on 6/7/2014The Saturday/Sunday brunch menu is wonderfully diverse and creative. It is really hard to decide what to eat. I would highly recommend the food here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatGuestDined on 6/4/2014My family and I went there after my graduation and as a vegetarian it was nice that they had a whole separate menu for vegetarians with lots of options. The staff is very nice and the food is good. I would recommend this place to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant EveningDiningDianaDined on 6/1/2014Rack of Lamb was outstanding. Nice broad menu. Friendly service. Expensive.Special Features:
- Patricia KelsoKeystoneDined on 6/1/2014We recently had a special graduation celebration dinner for my daughter. The staff worked with me to develop a customized pre-fixe menu for the event; this was a very nice feature. The day of the event was very quiet within the restuarant. We had a nice private table but it felt like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. This was our first dining experience at Caffe Gelato. The food was amazing-especially the parmesan truffeled risotto-YUM. Some of our party ordered fillet mignon and some ordered salmon; both were well prepared and delicious. Several ordered pasta and thought it was good, but not special. Don't forget the gelato; I chose a scoop of creme brulee with toffee, and a scoop of caramel cashew crunch-Fab!!! Service was great.Special Features:
- EdwardDined on 5/31/2014Great meal, great service. Never disappoints. From apps (lemon ravioli!!!) thru the main course (rack of lamb and veal chop were superb and plentiful!). Always a winner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great mealBreifneVIPDined on 5/31/2014Second visit to this restaurant. Great food, attentive & professional service (which is remarkable given the servers' youth), broad and thoughtful wine list. Dined outside on a beautiful day.Special Features:
- Son graduated.Will miss C.GelattoJanetSeeDined on 5/31/2014We had lunch for 6 immediately following our sons graduation from the University of Delaware. Sat on the patio. Perfect setting and wonderful service and food. When we first toured UDel campus 5 years ago, we had lunch here. Loved it then, and loved it again this weekend. Only sorry we waited until graduation to try the gelatto.Special Features:
- Graduation DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/30/2014We were there for an early dinner to celebrate our son's graduation from University of Delaware, so the whole place, like the town itself, was packed. The food was very good, although pricy, but the service was a little chaotic. They'd obviously brought in extra staff for the weekend, but they seemed to be tripping over themselves, and frequently forgot things. They also have an excellent Gelato Station, so there were people coming in and out just to buy ice cream, hence the name of the restaurant. We all had gelato for dessert, and were not disappointed.Special Features:
- Lovely dinnerTooBlueVIPDined on 5/26/2014Very good quality dinner served by friendly staff, college students that don't know much about the wine, preparations or specials so be prepared to have them run back to the kitchen or bar to ask. Consistently good and rare quality among the casual bar places in the college town. The pastas are alway fresh and scallops got rave reviews from our guests.Special Features:
- Losing groundmsmdp2uVIPDined on 5/22/2014Once a favorite, this restaurant is not so upscale as it used to be. We ordered a bottle of wine from the specials: there was none left at 7:30 pm. We asked for a comparable bottle and were told that the refrigerator was broken, none of the whites were cold. Our server was pleasant and apologetic, if not helpful. We each ordered pasta: beautifully presented, but received about 8oz pasta with less than 2 oz meat/fish/vegetables. The sauces were very good. We sat in a booth: the wall had dried food spots on it. We are sorry to see these lapses.

Oceania Exclusive Tour
For those travelers who prefer an added measure of intimacy and flexibility, we are pleased to offer our new Oceania Exclusive tours. With a minimum of 10 guests and a maximum capacity of just 16 guests, each tour benefits from a higher level of personal attention and the added flexibility and agility that come from traveling in a small group.
Oceania Exclusive tours are available for a specially selected number of tours in almost every port we visit, in every corner of the world.
Once a great maritime power and the rival of Venice and Genoa, Pisa is best known today for the famed Leaning Tower. This tour begins at the Piazza del Duomo, which is a revered World Heritage site containing four of masterpieces of medieval architecture-a cathedral, baptistery, campanile (the Leaning Tower) and cemetery. Your first stop is the Duomo, the five-naved basilica within the Field of Miracles. Begun in 1064, the vast interior contains granite columns, mosaics, and a magnificent pulpit carved by Giovanni Pisano. The Romanesque Baptistery, the largest in Italy, has an immense interior that produces peculiar acoustics. Another highlight is the magnificent Romanesque campanile, which took nearly 200 years to construct, but began to tilt as soon as the third level was completed because the settling sub-soil was unable to withstand the tower's weight. At the northern end of the complex lies the walled cemetery, which while damaged during World War II, has been largely restored to its original magnificence. After this portion of the tour, you will have free time to wander through the historic heart of Pisa for shopping and other diversions.
Please note: Dress conservatively to enter churches and monasteries. This tour cannot be operated on Sunday mornings since the cathedral cannot be visited due to services. During Bank Holidays shops will be closed. Ascending to the Leaning Tower is not included in the tour as timing restrictions make this difficult to incorporate. This tour involves a modest amount of walking, and certain locations involve steps and a very challenging ascent at the Duomo, however, this tour is wheelchair-accessible. There is approximately 15 minutes walking involved from the parking aria to "Miracle Square" and back.
NOTICE: All Oceania Cruises shore excursion fares are listed per person, and are subject to change and availability. Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time. Minor children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a an adult parent or guardian on all shore excursions.

The Harvest, 1888
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
While in Arles, Van Gogh painted a number of series on various subjects. He had already carried out a sequence of blossoming orchards in the spring of 1888, and in June of that year he turned his attention to the harvest and wheatfields. In little more than a week he executed as many as ten paintings and five drawings on the theme. He worked daily in the fields under the burning sun, until a huge storm put an unexpected end to the harvest on June 20th.

Kamloops Blazers forward Tim Bozon has been suspended by the WHL after a spitting incident following Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings at Interior Savings Centre.
Bozon, an 18-year-old forward who calls Lugano, Switzerland, home, will miss Friday's game against the host Spokane Chiefs. He will be eligible to return Saturday against the Tri-City Americans in Kennewick, Wash. Kamloops also will play the Winterhawks in Portland on Sunday.
As the clock ran out in Tuesday's loss — the Blazers' second in three games following a franchise-record 14 straight victories — Bozon got involved with Edmonton's Keegan Lowe.
Bozon spit on the defenceman, and was assessed two roughing minors, a misconduct and a game misconduct for his part in the fracas. Lowe received cross-checking and roughing minors, along with two misconducts.
The WHL announced Bozon's suspension on Wednesday.
Also on Wednesday, the BCHL's Salmon Arm SilverBacks traded F Riley Balson, formerly of the Blazers, to the Penticton Vees for forward Evan Anderson and defenceman Mitch Ferguson.
Balson, a Kamloops native, joined the Blazers partway through last season, and had six points, including three goals, in 42 games. He was released before this season.

Edward Yale charged with homicide in 2001 killing of wife in Monroe County
Joan Litts Yale found at bottom of basement steps, police say
A Northampton County man has been charged with homicide in the killing of his wife in Monroe County more than a decade ago.
Edward Yale stands accused of killing his wife, Joan Litts-Yale, inside the couple's home on Mount Nebo Road in Middle Smithfield Township in March 2001. Litts-Yale, 61, was found at the bottom of the basement steps.
An autopsy at the time showed the cause of death to be blunt force trauma, but the manner of death remained undetermined.
The case was presented to a Monroe County grand jury, which recommended that Edward Yale be charged in his wife's death, which has since been ruled a homicide.
The victim's son and brother both told police that Yale had been verbally abusive to her during the months before she died, according to court documents.
Yale, who now lives at 321 Bray St. in Bangor, Northampton Co., faces charges of homicide and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
