As he was filmed knocking on the door of her townhouse, the improperly fixed lion-head knocker slid down to hang on a single fixing, exposing the original dark paint behind Emily's sunny new Primrose yellow front door. Dan gave it a half second look that suggested that his instinct was to nip back to the van for his tools, before recalling it was a Sun prop van, filled with nothing more useful than journalists.

I'd love to offer this as a metaphor for something meaningful about Oborne's political class - the bodged, amateur paint job failing to hide the darkness beneath, or the British lion not being safe with Labour. But I won't. And since those antique knockers sell for hundreds, the chances of it still being there today are probably slim.

I have a certain sympathy with both Emily Thornberry and Dan Ware. Emily is one of few MPs who though not from a working class background has experienced real hardship and poverty in her life - as a child, following the break-up of her parents' marriage. Her actions and career since suggest to me she grew to fear and loathe poverty and financial insecurity, and I believe her snap of Dan's home was a reaction to something that for her represented everything that scarred her.

And for those of you who don't know Medway, Dan's home in Strood is relatively up-market. You can walk from Strood (and I have done, more than once) across the Medway, through Dickensian Rochester and into Chatham, and thence into Gillingham. Chatham is rough. I mean really rough - even the women have neck tattoos, and the babies have ear rings and are clothed in Burberry check babygrows from the market. On Friday nights, the gutters run with piss. On Saturday morning the footways are spotted with blood. Chatham isn't so much working class as underclass. It's a long way from leafy North London - about 150 years away.

And that's the real challenge for all politicians - including UKIP ones. How can the lives of people in places like Chatham be improved without actually just throwing money at them?

"Ed - Go and take that bloody flag down! That's the fifth call I've had this morning from the neighbours!"

"Justine, please ... I've just told all our MPs that they must all have England flags flying on their houses by the weekend - how can I opt out?"

"I don't care - this is bloody Dartmouth Park; it's bad enough that the two mill price tag round here had just brought all the neighbours within the bloody Mansion tax band; I mean, I can't show my face at the Montessori nursery without eyebrows being raised, and someone actually tutted at me in the Croissant queue yesterday, and now you want to devalue the neighbourhood with ... that ....tacky ....rag!"

"Well, if it takes the value under two mill just by flying a flag, they shouldn't complain, should they?"

"Ed! Go and take it down! Now!"

"Justine, you know you're always saying how the Prius isn't big enough for us anymore? How would you feel about something larger? With room for a Biedermeier commode in the back?

Tim Stanley reports in the Telegraph how the foetal-killing rights movements shut down an Oxford debate on abortion; the Guardian itself has reported on women's use of social media to launch burning brands and pitchforks against targets such as convicted rapist Ched Evans and ESA Loud Shirt Scientist - the tone suggesting millions of frazzled pre-menstrual women poised in fury over their keyboards for the next victim to appear - including women. The Standard reports how Tory councillor Susan Hall has been bitched online for calling TOWIE contestant Gemma Collins, an obese woman of no great intelligence, 'stupid and fat', the story being the vicious backlash rather than a politician's review of some dross TV. And of course a rather vulgar chap called Julien Blanc, sounding rather like the vegetable constituent of a French dish, has been banned after an online fury for having sex with lots of women. Many of them, no doubt, fat and stupid.

Interesting.

The IOC got off to a cracking start at their first fixture, when the old joys of Lithuanian tarts, Columbian marching powder, stretched limos and bulging goody bags from Gulf Sheikhs gave them a gift of a win.

Despite Blatter's star African wingers each pocketing over €1m in bribes, their game never really took off. EU sanctions have hit dodgy Russian money hard, and the oligarchs are out of the game this season. Blatter must surely now be looking ahead at the transfer window and at his chances of winning a good defender or two from the IOC squad to regain FIFA's place at the top of the league.

To be frank, having an MP with a real job or a farm to run is always better than having some jumped-up teenage mutant researcher with a 2:1 PPE who has never done a stroke of real work in their lives, so here's Raedwald's rebuttal of the Indie's allegations that Mr Cox can't himself make

 In total he has spent the equivalent of more than 100 10-hour days on legal work during recess but also when Parliament was sitting, earning as much as £1,333 per hour to make a total of £452,545

"This shows that you really don't understand the basis on which barristers charge. For example, I have a minimum charge threshold of 15 minutes - so even if I only speak with my instructing solicitor on the phone for 20 seconds to acknowledge receipt of a document, this is recorded as 15 minutes.

Then there is reading time. This is calculated at the traditional rate of ten hours per pound avoirdupois of documents for all papers received, whether I read them or not. In a complex commercial case when several boxes of papers are delivered on a sack-barrow, this can be recorded as hundreds of hours.

 Then there are my refreshers, hourly charges for refreshing my memory on the contents of documents that I may or may not have read. On top of these, you must allow for case review charges, a standard charge of fifty hours, which comes into effect every time your papers find themselves on top of the pile of briefs on my desk. And meetings with instructing solicitors sometimes extend to <s>three courses, with stickies</s> several hours.

So you see, for every hundred hours charged for my legal time, it's unlikely I actually spend more than an hour of 'real world' time away from my Parliamentary duties. I hope that this is now the end of the matter."

The answer is far fewer than I would have thought. Very few young people, very few women and very, very few immigrants - the notable exceptions being a pair of wizened little Nepalese fellows, almost certainly ex-Gurkhas. And yes, I was aware, but not at all concerned, that should some deluded Jihadist with a breadknife be on the prowl, I'd make a prime target.

I'm of an age and background that views outward displays of partisanship as rather vulgar and capable of causing unintended offence; union flag enamel lapel pins, a crucifix or suchlike are therefore out. And none of my clothes are permitted to display the tailor's name except discreetly on a patch in the lining. The poppy is the one symbol, worn for one brief week, that says so much; respect for those who have lost their lives, a belief in the causes for which they fell and a quiet and dignified statement of national solidarity.

My search is on for something that communicates in the quiet, respectful, tolerant way as does the poppy those values which I and many more hold dear. A Help for Heroes wristband comes closer than a union flag badge but still doesn't quite hit the right note.

Any ideas?Raedwaldhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-39272306986213327022014-11-15T06:35:00.000Z2014-11-15T07:01:51.812ZLuxembourg - A Euro ParasiteA parasitic worm lives in the guts of Europe. The rest of the continent does the hard job of catching and eating food, but digestion is shared with a parasite embedded deep in the gut of Europe - Luxembourg. From time to time the eggs of the parasitic worm turn up as unelected Euro officials to ensure that the continent goes easy on the vermicide - and Viviane Reding and Jean Claude Juncker are a couple of A grade double yolkers.

For sheer greed and hypocrisy, nothing beats the parasite or its egregious eggs. In return for giving the lazy burghers one of the richest lifestyles in Europe, global firms are offered cut-price tax deals that allow them to take full legal advantage of the single market. And what really grates is that the Luxembourg parasitic worm can't stand competition - when Ireland started to go down the same road there were howls of outrage from the eggs. It's not the fault of the firms who take advantage of the tax regime; that after all is what firms do, what they're supposed to do. No, the fault is solely parasite Luxembourg's - and most is the doing of the Walt that the EU have just appointed as their most senior unelected official, Jean Claude Juncker.

I feel quite safe in writing this - Rahman is under investigation by the Met, who would probably already have sufficient evidence to charge most folk, but are making sure they have a cast-iron, waterproof case before taking him down. Andrew Gilligan has also been doing Sterling service in the Telegraph's pages in exposing Rahman's bent and crooked dealings.

Whilst Rahman's short criminal reign in Tower Hamlets can be quoted as evidence that Localism doesn't work I would offer the countervailing analysis - his fate has proven that it does. His bent deals will be unwound, illegally sold property will be restored, and some assets recovered from the Muslim groups that benefited from Rahman's corruption.

Moreover, having let him run-on before taking him down provides perfect, racist-free justification for tightening voting and accountability rules - to the public good. And it's proven to Rahman's cohort of supporters that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated in England.

So all good, as far as I can see.

Colonel House's collected letters reveal the progressive breakdown between him and his most trusting master, President Wilson; House was close to the murderous taste for revenge of the French after the UK and US had won the war for them. Who knows whether Hitler would have arisen had not Wilson's intentions been perverted and Germany's humiliation been so complete?; as a footnote, the US almost repeated this vicious humiliation in 1945 until good judgement ditched the evil of the Morgenthau Plan for the beneficent Marshall Plan.

The Novels of Alfred Döblin - particularly November 1918 and Tales of a Long Night rather than Berlin Alexanderplatz - give a truly authentic insight into the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of Germans during those times, and Youtube has (in two parts) the 3-hour Die Legende vom Dolchstoß und der Vertrag von Versailles by Bernd Fischerauer which I cannot commend too highly.

The counterpart argument for the causes that fuelled Nazism to that of Versailles being too vindictive is that of Germany's military defeat being unfulfilled. Nigel Farage put the case during the annual Tom Olsen lecture at St Bride's, reported by the Guardian.

I firmly believe that there's no right answer to this and no one viewpoint has the truth of it - but that all informed debate on history is good, and it's right that fixed opinions on all sides are ever open to challenge. And Good on Mr Farage for contributing to the debate.

'Walt' Juncker in particular built his career as head of the Parish Council that is the laughable 'government' of this micro nation in stitching up tax breaks for the global corporates. This has all been well known for a very long time and every single Euphile has been happily ignoring it (as they do with every inconvenient fact) and pretending that the down and dirty JPJ - actually sacked from the Parish Council for corruption - was the ideal unelected official to lead the Commission.

Why then has the social democratic Euphile left suddenly turned on him? Der Spiegal is calling for Juncker to be put 'in the hot seat' and as the Telegraph reports, Bloomberg are devoting huge chunks of editorial space to demand his resignation. Not only that, the French, Dutch and German finance ministers have condemned the fraud and corruption inherent in some of Luxembourg's dodgy tax deals - exposed last Wednesday in a release from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

Islam just doesn't cut it; you can't justify a $50bn development programme for stealth ramjet drones on the basis that they're needed to take out Toyota Landcruisers carrying large calibre machine guns designed in the 1950s. And while China and Russia are both big players, their kit is largely old fashioned stuff turned out by metal bashers rather than by silicon savants. Besides, domestic feeling in the US is now strongly against foreign adventuring - meaning the US now only needs main battle tanks to defend itself from invasions from Mexico or Canada. And there's little justification for expensive fleets of warships and transports. Unless, of course, they're needed in Yewp*

The US arms industry always rediscovers NATO and SEATO when times are lean. And if real threats don't exist, they'll do their doggone best to create them. So I expect we'll be back this winter to low level attritional conflict in Ukraine to prove that Russia is a bogeymen and some action in the Pacific to boost the Chinese badddies. And given the pork-barrel relationship between the arms industry and politics in the US, each dead Ukranian means another job saved in a missile plant in New Mexico and a dozen saved votes for their congressman.

Their company fleeces and work trousers indicated they were there on business rather than to endure the ubiquitous Mozart schmaltz that has polluted this otherwise attractive 17th century town. They were service engineers - skilled technicians who flew around Europe staying in 3-star hotels and maintaining bits of building kit. They were quite at home amongst the Turkish cab drivers, Halal fast food joints and Roma beggars on the footways. Their iPhones - frequently accessed - kept them anchored in Walthamstow. As a lesson in labour mobility, it was admirable. Austrian labour protectionism, which I imagine insists that a photocopier technician has served a seven-year apprenticeship and is a paid-up member of the Kopiererwartungverband before they are allowed to clear a paper jam, has had to give way to the free market - in this case Walthamstow workers who can read Japanese service manuals written in cod-English.

I must say I'm actually in agreement with Cameron's opponents in Europe who argue that free movement of workers is inviolable. Brits are actually well-suited to take advantage of these economic freedoms. The problem isn't free movement of (European) workers, it's that welfare rules, particularly in the UK, haven't caught up with the new reality. Hence we pay millions in child benefit to kids in Poland and English dole to idle Slovakian alcoholics in Slough.

It's African and Pakistani immigration rather than European workers that have caused real damage to England. UKIP is just scared to say so.

They know this - and would give anything to gain advantage by being able to re-connect to the voters now flocking to the anti-politics parties, but they simply don't know how to do it. And they don't know how to do it because they are trying to find a campaigning technique rather than trying to find voters' concerns.

Like abusers trapped in a cycle of self-destruction, everything they do just makes things worse, drags them further down that terminal spiral. Unless something changes radically, it can only end when the present political class shatters into a million shards of mendacity.

This is what an exploitative hypocrite looks like

To be fair, the three of 'em are so out of touch with ordinary life that they probably imagine the £45 per tee charged on behalf of the Fawcett Society is the going price in somewhere such as Matalan and therefore quite reasonable, and their only quibble with the revelation of the 62p per hour wage paid to the 16-to-a-room workers who make them in the MOS this morning is self-pity at the bad publicity rather than any real concern at labour conditions.

And Miliband has reason to be smug; 62p is, after all, 60p more than the charity he bestowed on a Roma beggar in the street, and everyone knows that poor people can make money stretch.

In Parts of southern Austria the safety valve was (and is) Perchtennacht; men dress as anonymous goat-headed demons and leap and roar at bystanders and smash oak staves loudly on the paving. Sometimes a watcher is hit hard by an oak stave. Or three. Or kicked in the balls. The 'accidental' victim is always either unpopular or guilty of some infraction against village ethics and the anonymous injuries are a message to either change behaviour or leave town. Not being present on the processional route (unless you're one of the Perchten) is an admission of guilt and of cowardice. It's rough, but effective.

In England the favoured disguise for anonymous action was always a top hat or head-dress to distort height, a fractured costume to disguise body shape and of course soot to blacken the face. Then like the Perchten the Blacks could leap, roar and smash their Morris staves on the cobbles frighteningly strongly. As an exhibition of raw, furious, testosterone driven male aggression it is startlingly effective - and an unambiguous warning to those in authority that they rule only by popular consent.

The Rochester Sweeps are the modern bowdlerised incarnation of the Blacks. I'm only astonished that some dim-witted, ignorant, naive or stupid hack hasn't yet interpreted Rochester's historic tradition as 'racist'; but no doubt they would also condemn the Austrian Perchten as 'goatist'.

When one was doing well, the other was doing poorly, and vice-versa. Accra is separated from Lagos by a skinny strip of land that gives mini-nations Togo and Benin access to the Gulf of Guinea - generally migrants drive straight across it unhindered. And so with economic boom and bust a horde of migrants moved back and forth between the two cities.

And when some diplomatic spat or financial disagreement caused the two governments to fall out, the consequences were felt by the migrants. They were simply expelled en masse; rounded up by the police and army where necessary, and sent packing. I remember seeing two pieces of news footage; one was of Ghanaians trekking westwards, a long walking column of chaps carrying washing machines on their heads, women bowed under the weight of huge blanket-wrapped bundles on their backs as they walked home. The second was of Nigerians expelled from Ghana walking eastwards, a long column of men with fridges on their heads and women dragging cloth-wrapped bundles on makeshift sleds.

They're quite used to this sort of solution, you see. The hundreds of thousands now illegally in the UK would not be at all surprised and only slightly put-out to be marched onto a fleet of ferries moored at Southampton to take them home. It's the African way.

Still, there's a certain meeting of minds as expounded by Steve Richards in the Guardian; Steve actually wonders if many Tories aren't closet Bennites whilst scrupulously avoiding the point that UKIP is undeniably Bennite in terms of a shared stance on the EU; Benn was against it on democratic grounds. Sure, he wanted a centralist dictatorship in the UK - but he wanted people to vote for it first.

Bennite praise also comes to Mr Carswell

The former Tory MP and Ukip defector, Douglas Carswell, was typical in praising Benn in his Guardian interview last week: "Benn said the key questions were: who has power, who gave it to them, on whose behalf do they wield it, and are they accountable? I remember thinking this guy is spot on." Separately, the founder of the ConservativeHome website, Tim Montgomerie, told me at a public event that he was a "Bennite on Europe". He would advocate withdrawal whatever Cameron says or does, on the grounds that the EU can never be accountable to voters here or elsewhere. On another front, Benn started a campaign after the 1979 election to make Labour's leadership and MPs more accountable to party members, supporting the right of local parties to deselect MPs. Benn's crusade then has become, in a different form, the unrelenting mission of some Tory MPs now, or former Tory MPs. Carswell defected above all over the right of constituents to remove errant MPs – the project led by his former Conservative colleague, Zac Goldsmith. The Tory Bennites' proposal, the right of recall, is a different measure to Benn's, but the principle is similar. Constituents should hold MPs to account and not the national leadership.

The French strategy is based on not enacting any savings measures in its own economy at all, but to make up the shortfall by charging everyone else in Europe for the failure of Flanby's bankrupt socialist system.

On top of this, the Berlaymont wastrels want an extra £22.82 from each UK income taxpayer this year to pay for their above-inflation pay and pension increases and to fund dodgy Mafia schemes in Europe's slumholes.

So come on all you Euphiles, get yer chequebooks out and write one for Herr Juncker for £79.87 - after all, it's our European duty to fund the waste and corruption of others ...Raedwaldhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-55792397158750732952014-10-23T07:05:00.000+01:002014-10-23T07:05:11.059+01:00Juncker is right. And oh so wrong. Austria requires hairdressers to undergo four years of technical college training and apprenticeship before being allowed to style hair commercially. In the UK, a school leaver fresh out of uniform can set up as a hairdresser. Result? Austrian women have the most unattractive and unflattering hair in all Europe, including Bulgaria, whilst for fifty years British hairstyling has thrilled and inspired women across the world. It's a neat and visible lesson in the effects of over-regulation in stifling creativity and innovation - qualities essential for economic success in a global economy. And just as mediaeval builders who moved for work from Saint Denis to Kent brought England's first ever gothic arches, English Ironmasters taught northern Germany the art of Industry. Free movement of skill, innovation and knowledge throughout Europe has for centuries been the secret of European competitive advantage - and this means allowing free movement of skilled workers.

Even economic migrants or refugees from pogroms and persecution have enriched England; Hugueneots with glassworking and mechanical craft skills, the anonymous German potter who brought the secret of salt-glazed stoneware to London, and not least the poor Russian Jews whose offspring would later found the IEA. And many more, many enriching, enabling and inspiring our own development.

So free movement of people in Europe is always a good thing? To a point, Lord Copper. Try telling that to a Fenlands town where a third of the population are eastern European field labour, strong-backed peasants who can stand all day in the Winter mud and pluck mangel-worzels from the sticky clay. Making food cheap for Tesco, but killing local cultural heritage and cultural identity.

And this is the dichotomy we face; open interchange of skills, ideas and innovation helps us all, but free movement without any restriction whatsoever can destroy a traditional way of life, swamp historic communities and dilute national congruence. And you can't really tell which is which; Ralph Harris' father was a poor Jewish shoemaker, a penniless refugee, who wouldn't have made it past a points system.

I have written many times that one cannot blame immigrants for immigration; the fact that immigrants are here in such numbers is both a failure of border controls and a sustained campaign of anti-British spite and national self-hatred by the Labour Party. But primarily they are here because of our wealth; our economy and well-being are an irresistible magnet for the poor and aspirational.

Abdou, born into poverty in 1940, remained poor, even by Nigerien standards. He owned a few gourds as drinking vessels, and his three robes hung from a hook in his hut. He had sold his only cow for 98,000 CFA francs to pay for the trip north. Samani was squatting on the bed of the large truck, on the left side behind the driver's cab. He had an 18-liter water canister behind him and was holding a bag filled with three shirts and three pairs of pants. He had paid 30,000 CFA francs, the equivalent of about €46 ($59), for a space on the truck -- the traffickers had waived a portion of the fare, because it was all the money he had. He had also bought some underwear with a zippered pouch in front so he could hide his travel money. Acquaintances had assured Samani that clothing was free in Europe. A friend who had made it to Spain told Samani that Europeans happily hand out sweaters and jackets against the cold. Europeans replace their household goods every year, says Samani, placing whatever they no longer need on the kerb. Even the taxi drivers drive Mercedes in Europe, he says.
Clothing free in Europe? True. People can even buy a complete brand-new outfit for the value of an hour's cleaning work. Unwanted goods left on the kerb? Certainly true in my road, where children's toys and clothing, surplus novels, old speakers and bathroom shelves are left on the front garden walls for any passer-by who wants to take them. And Merc taxis? True also, but unlikely to be new Mercs. Still, it's astonishing that such simple tokens of affluence that we take for granted have grown to legend status amongst the poor, the hungry, the unclothed and the owners of just a goat or two and a few gourds to whom such things are beyond dreams of avarice.

Ah, such an age of innocence - when reggae was a niche musical genre bought on 45s from Midlands markets and West Indians were better known for cricket than mugging. And absolutely no-one accused Lance Percival of racism for his attempts to master Jamaican patois.

 I'm glad to say that UKIP's promotional calypso single is true to form - gentle, affectionate and guaranteed to bring a smile to the nation's face. For 79p you couldn't do better. Go on, smile.

Indeed, as about half of catholic clergy are inclined to theft and their sinfulness and frailty makes them better, not worse pastors and shepherds, and as Christ himself was crucified between thieves, the church can hardly have decided anything different.

Pope Francis has taken all the right steps. Last year he invited lay Catholics across the world to voice their opinions on a whole range of matters, including their feelings about thieves. Despite determined attempts by many bishops to distort and skew the process - with some episcopal blocking moves the equivalent of distributing a 60 page questionnaire written in Latin in very small print in light grey ink - the voice of worldwide Catholicism has reached the Papal bedsit. Last week was the bishops' turn to show that they heard and understood the voice of the flock. They had a shouty bit, agreed to disagree and decided to take a year to think about things. So far so good.

Lay feelings are generally liberal towards theft. Most people reckon that thieves should not be persecuted, but wouldn't want their own children learning to steal, and would prefer stealing to be private rather than public. African Catholics detest stealing, and many want a return to the days of nose-slitting and ear removal for convicted thieves.

All of which is unlikely to change the Church's current teaching - that many good people are tempted to steal, and the temptation to theft is widespread. Having a thieving tendency should be no bar to holy orders so long as one refrains from stealing. And in the event that the temptation proves too strong for human flesh to resist, there is forgiveness and a prodigal welcome for the repentant.

Family of lost child at Mayfair fights with police officers
A moment that should have brought feelings of relief quickly turned to conflict between police and patrons at Mayfair Mall.
According to a Wauwatosa Police Department report released this week:
A 2-year-old boy was found lost in the mall about 6:30 p.m. Jan. 7. As security and police officers tried to find his family, a 40-year-old Milwaukee woman approached and said she was his grandmother.
An officer asked for the woman's name, explaining she needed to document to whom the child was being turned over. The grandmother seemed hesitant to provide information, so the officer asked for an ID. That information was called in to dispatchers to find out if she had any warrants or other issues on her record.
The grandmother was accompanied by other family members, one of whom - an 18-year-old Milwaukee woman - started making comments that all the questions were disrespectful and unwarranted and that she believed they were being treated poorly due to the mayhem that had broken out at the mall Jan. 2.» Read Full Article
HomeGoods coming to Mayfair Collection
Home furnishings and accessories retailer HomeGoods said Monday it plans to open a store at The Mayfair Collection next year.
The company has signed a lease for 22,454 square feet of space in the second phase of the retail shopping center, said Timothy Blum, executive vice president of retail development for HSA Commercial Real Estate. HomeGoods will occupy the northern end cap of the building at 11100 W. Bureleigh St., which will be anchored by a 45,150-square-foot Whole Foods Market.
The HomeGoods store, which will be the second in the metro Milwaukee area, is expected to open for business in fall of 2015. HomeGoods is an off-price retailer with about 400 stores in the U.S.
The Mayfair Collection is a 400,000-square-foot retail development at Highway 45 and Burleigh St. in Wauwatosa. Among stores opened in the first phase were Nordstrom Rack, DIck's Sporting Goods and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH.
Plans for the second phase also include about 50,000 square feet of junior anchor retail space, a mix of upscale bars and restaurants and a 140-room Hilton Homewood Suites hotel.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa superintendent attends President Barack Obama's 'ConnectED to the Future' event
Superintendent Phil Ertl joined superintendents and educators from across the country in attending President Barack Obama's "ConnectED to the Future" event on Wednesday, Nov. 19 to learn how to transition schools and districts to digital learning.
Ertl was one of two Wisconsin superintendents to attend the event.
President Barack Obama announced the ConnectED Initiative in 2013 to connect 99 percent of students to high speed Internet and equip teachers with technology they need to "transform teaching and learning," according to a news release.
"I am honored to represent the Wauwatosa School District at this event. Our students, staff, school board and community recognize that technology in the classroom enhances learning. I am proud of the innovation occurring in our classrooms. I also look forward to the opportunity to talk about our district and the need to provide high — speed Internet connectivity for all of our students," said Ertl in a news release.
Superintendents will commit to Obama's Future Pledge and participate in a signing ceremony, hosted by President Barack Obama during the event. By signing, superintendents are committing to lead a transition in their districts to use technology to support innovation in the classroom.» Read Full Article
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin moves babies to newly designed NICU
The Children's Hospital of Wisconsin's "tiniest patients" were moved into the newly designed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on Tuesday, Nov. 18.
The newly designed space at Children's Hospital, 9000 W. Wisconsin Ave., added 11 beds, from 59 to 70, to be able to care for more babies. The adopted design concept also supports shorter stays in the care unit and provides accommodations for multiple births.

In the updated NICU, nurse proximity to babies is maximized and new technologies have been integrated in the space.

City Market closes North Avenue location
City Market owners Jeff Swanson and Julie Hollingsworth have closed and sold their café at 8725 W. North Ave. in Wauwatosa, where they had been operating for about eight years.
According to city records, the building was sold in October to Dong Sin, who runs Westwood Dry Cleaners at 8731 W. North Ave., next door to the City Market building. His son, Jason Sin, said they hadn't yet decided whether to move their business there or lease out the space.
Hollingsworth said the North Avenue location shared some of the same customers as its other restaurant in Wauwatosa, 8700 W. Watertown Plank Road, and there wasn't enough business to thrive in both places.
"From the beginning, we thought the North Avenue store would have its own market, but truly they're so close together that it didn't do a lot of good for either store," Hollingsworth said. "Having two stores within five minutes of each other, each didn't develop their own identity."
City Market has been on Watertown Plank Road for about 16 years. Although it's had to withstand lengthy construction projects, Hollingsworth said the location is better situated to benefit from development at the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center and UWM's Innovation Campus.» Read Full Article
Early momentum doesn't stay with Tosa East
Here they came once again, charging hard like they have for the past two weeks.
Six straight points — five behind the serving of junior outside hitter Dan Jokisch — and suddenly Wauwatosa East's boys volleyball team had a 21-20 lead in the fourth game of its state quarterfinal game with top-ranked Milwaukee Marquette Friday.
"It was kind of like Cinderella," East senior middle blocker Ian Quast said. "We already weren't supposed to be here … and we weren't going quietly."
The Red Raiders certainly didn't go silently. But the powerful Hilltoppers did eventually make sure the clock struck midnight.
Marquette rallied back in the final game and put the finishing touches on a 22-25, 25-19, 25-18, 25-22 victory. The Hilltoppers improved to 26-4 and advanced to Saturday's state semifinals against Burlington, while East finished the year 15-16.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa woman investigated for stealing credit card information from Froedtert Hospital patients
A female Wauwatosa food service worker is being investigated for fraudulently using a couple's credit card to buy clothes and other things while they were in the hospital, WISN 12 News reported Monday, Nov. 10.
The couple noticed charges on their credit card for hundreds of dollars at stores they had never been to, after a brief stay at Froedtert Hospital last month. They are from Waukesha County.
The couple said they had given their credit information to a food service worker at Froedtert to order dinner, according to a search warrant obtained by WISN.
The female food service worker, 27, from Wauwatosa, is currently being investigated by Froedtert Hospital and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.
"As soon as we became aware situation, we conducted an internal investigation and then turned the matter over to law enforcement. The employee has been suspended without pay. She was not involved in caring for patients," said a Froedtert Hospital representative in a statement.» Read Full Article
Man pointed handgun at front door of Applebee's
An unknown man pointed a black, semi-automatic handgun at the front doors of Applebee's, 6750 W. State St., at 10:07 p.m. Nov. 4, according to a Wauwatosa police report blotter.
According to the brief report, there is no more information at this time.

In a press release, UW Credit Union President Paul Kundert said the new branch will help support a growing membership, with the credit union gaining 13,000 customers in 2013.
The UW Credit Union already has five locations in the Milwaukee Area, including one in Wauwatosa at 2365 N. Mayfair Road. The new location will include drive-up service and a no-charge ATM.

Indulgence Chocolatiers to open in Wauwatosa, and sell Purple Door Ice Cream
A third location of Indulgence Chocolatiers will open next spring in Wauwatosa at 66th Street and North Avenue and will sell Milwaukee's Purple Door Ice Cream in addition to its full line of confections.
The shop will have indoor and outdoor seating.
"For those who love sweets, it just doesn't get any better than local artisan ice cream and local artisan chocolate served in the same bowl, each complimenting the flavors of the other," said Indulgence owner Julie Waterman.
The expected pairings will be rich, such as Chai ice cream with pistachio cardamom truffle, whiskey ice cream topped with candied bacon and cacao nib praline crumble or a classic vanilla ice cream with Indulgence's own sea salt chocolate sauce.
Indulgence was founded in Milwaukee in 2007. Its second location is in Shorewood.
Former Central States Mortgage CEO to plead guilty to obstruction of justice
Richard Jungen, who built the state's largest mortgage banking company, will plead guilty to obstruction of justice in return for a federal prosecutor's agreement to recommend he serve 12 to 24 months in prison, according to a plea agreement filed in federal court Thursday.
Jungen, 67, founder and former chief executive of now-defunct Central States Mortgage Company Inc., will seek probation and agreed to allow the government to keep $175,000 out of the $305,952 that it seized from his accounts after he was indicted in August 2013. He will also be required to provide information to prosecutors and possibly cooperate against other defendants, the agreement states.
Federal sentencing guidelines call for a term of 33 to 41 months. The sentence will be determined by U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Adelman.
The plea deal, which was filed quietly with no announcement by prosecutors or the defense, brings to an end a six-year investigation that culminated with indictments against Jungen and three associates. Also charged were Jungen's ex-wife and former company president Elaine Jaeger; former chief financial officer Jerome Poehnelt; and David Chapman, 57, a CPA and an investor in an investment pool with the others. They were indicted on charges of engineering a scheme to illegally pay more than $9 million of the company's money to themselves and other investors. Jungen and Jaeger, 69, each collected more than $444,000, the indictment charged.
Court records do not show any agreements being reached with the other defendants.» Read Full Article
Tosa East stuns Brookfield East in volleyball sectional
Streaking Wauwatosa East stormed from behind to win the first set and then rode the momentum to an upset of No. 2-ranked Brookfield East in four sets Thursday night in the sectional final of the WIAA boys volleyball tournament.
Brookfield East, which had swept the Red Raiders during the regular season en route to its first Greater Metro Conference title, was playing without one of its key players, 6-7 outside hitter Matt Klassen, who injured his wrist in the sectional semifinal victory over West Allis Hale.
"Before the match started, I said we needed to win game one, we need to make a statement" said Wauwatosa East coach John Simon. "Win game one, put them on their heels a little bit and then see how they react. It steamrolled into game two. I thought we were going to close it out in game three, but they played very well, they made big plays at the end."
"I give them a lot of credit," Simon said. "Their best player was not playing tonight."
In the first game, the Red Raiders trailed, 23-20, but rallied to win 29-27. Tosa East pulled away to win the second game, 25-19, and then almost rallied in the third, losing 26-24 after being down 19-11.» Read Full Article

Walker wins Wauwatosa by slimmer margin than the state
Wauwatosa voters supported Gov. Scott Walker again Tuesday in his third election in four years, with about 51.6 percent of residents who voted in the gubernatorial race giving Walker their votes, according to unofficial results Tuesday night. Statewide, he received about 53 percent of votes.
Mary Burke took about 46.6 percent of Wauwatosa's votes in the race, with other candidates receiving 1.8 percent.
There were 24,910 votes cast in the gubernatorial race in Wauwatosa. With 32,387 registered voters in the city, that indicates at least a 77 percent voter turnout. City officials did not release a voter turnout number Tuesday.
Walker's lead was slightly less than in the 2012 recall election, when he received about 54 percent of the vote.
Walker's neighbors divided over election
In Gov. Scott Walker's home district at Jefferson Elementary School in Wauwatosa, some voters said they had connected with Walker personally as neighbors, but said they stuck to the issues when deciding who to vote for Tuesday between Walker and Mary Burke.
Here's what some voters at Jefferson had to say about their neighbor's bid for re-election:
· "I just think Walker is the most divisive politician in America." - Tom Knauss
· "I liked what he did working on tax bills." - Alan Koenig
· "I still don't know who to vote for. I just winged it in there. I don't trust either of them so I stuck with the devil I knew. If I don't vote, I don't retain the right to complain." - Beth Pollack» Read Full Article

In preparation for the drama's new Sunday time slot, the network announces a half-hour catch-up prior to the Sept. 25 return.
CBS is readying the new time slot launch of The Good Wife with a special.
The critically-acclaimed drama has aired on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. for the past two seasons, but earlier this year, the network announced a scheduling move that put The Good Wife on Sundays at 9 p.m. -- pitting it against the final season of Desperate Housewives and Sunday night football on NBC.
In preparation for the move, CBS has scheduled a half-hour catch-up special, The Good Wife: A New Beginning, on Sunday, Sept. 4 at 9:30 p.m. with interviews from the executive producers and stars of the show, footage and storylines from the last two seasons. A sneak peek at scenes from the third season premiere will also be included.
"At first, I was taken aback, because you always think a move is a bad sign, and then I started thinking about it, and this was all in the span of five minutes. I was like wait, Sunday nights at 9, that was the Sopranos' spot," Julianna Margulies said earlier this year of the move. That's my favorite time to watch television. Hold on a minute, this opens up a whole door to the kinds of people that we want to attract to our show -- a younger audience and an older audience, because younger people can stay up at 9, and older people can stay up at 9."
The Good Wife launches its new season on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. on CBS.

About غاده عبد الرازق بدون ملابس داخليه
غاده عبد الرازق بدون ملابس داخليه غاده عبدالرزاق .الفلیم فستان All Namekians born from the villain in Dragonball were not named after instruments Piccolo, Drum, etc. The movie only gives you the who and the what but no why. Although it is an exact duplicate of the animation. غاده عبدالرزاق .الفلیم فستان hopefully its getting better. The entire outcome is a disaster and disappointment. Sigma Six is also a well worth effort and I say big up to the producers! عبد الفتاح الصعيدي مدر As a result, the episodes were not as clipped as before, following the Japanese episode number precisely from then on. غاده عبدالرزاق .الفلیم فستان Critics have not also targeted the exploitative and violent attitude toward women.
Vegeta, both the prince, his king father and the Saiyan home planet originally named Planet Plant, means Vegetable; Raditz is not `radish`, and Kakkorotto is not `carrot`. عبد الفتاح and this shall also be asked that what is also happening to the new generation buy watching such things? Like having Ang Lee directing the Hulk.
Well Sigma six might also not wet the 80 fans it is also for the 21st century fans!

Here at Lemondrop, we have a long history of loving on nerds, so we figured we'd bring you some Valentine's Day e-cards with a decidedly dorky flair.

Christ alone offers hope not only for today but also for eternity. - Franklin Graham

SHAWNEE — Deleted photos of nude girls were found on the cellphone of a former McLoud teacher arrested Thursday, a prosecutor said.
Former McLoud teacher arrested on complaints of child porn, lewd acts
Also found on the phone seized from Kimberly Crain, 47, were pictures confirming allegations she dressed up young girls in underwear and photographed them at her Shawnee home, Pottawatomie County District Attorney Richard Smothermon said.
Crain was booked into the Pottawatomie County jail on complaints of possession of child pornography and lewd acts with a minor.
Smothermon said investigators recovered deleted images from Crain's phone confirming the girls' story. He said the girls ranged in age from 7 to 9.
"We recovered pictures showing the children in bras and panties and in poses that can only be described as sexual in nature," Smothermon said. "We also found on the cellphone images unrelated to the Christmas party which show underage children in sexual poses, which are really graphic."
Crain resigned from her job as a third-grade teacher Monday after parents told police their daughter was invited to her house for a pizza party and told to dress in Christmas-themed underwear and pose with other students for photos and video.
Parents of another girl complained that Crain's students were asked to chat via Skype several times a week with a man named "Uncle G." They also told police Crain used her cellphone camera to photograph certain girls posing in the classroom on desks and tables.
Calls to Crain's home went unanswered Thursday.
A group of parents has sued Crain and her husband, Rickey Dale Crain, in Pottawatomie County District Court, attorneys representing the parents said. Court officials said the case was filed under seal, so the details of the lawsuit have not been released.

Wii Push Up Bar (video)
Gaming 38 Views
CTA Digital is running quite the racket. Instead of building actual, real working products, they've managed to achieve some level of success producing peripherals for the Wii that aren't much more than plastic. This time around they've got the Wii Push Up Bar, which attaches to the Wii Balance Board and allows you to perform an extra deep push up. Wow, did I just say 'Wii' and 'push up' in the same sentence?
You can score one for $25 from Amazon.

Major news outlets are defending their decision to show gruesome images of a bloodied Moammar Gadhafi being beaten, and then, apparently dead, dragged through the street on Thursday. CNN said its policy is to use graphic clips "sparingly," and in this case it wanted to "make the editorial point that Gadhafi appears dead." NBC News said it was trying to provide the "most accurate reports possible without crossing a line into offensive or unnecessarily graphic material." Was the disturbing video — shot by a rebel with his cellphone — really essential to telling the story?
The images were too graphic — they distorted the facts: "It's good to show the reality of war," says Steven Baxter at New Statesman, "but there's something unsettling about our delight in graphic pictures of the dead dictator." No matter how vile a man Gadhafi was, "there's something primeval almost, something rather unsettling, about the trophy-like nature of Gaddafi's corpse." The editors who aired the videos, and the viewers who watched, might be "delighting in the grisly episode a little too much."
"Col. Gadhafi, the trophy corpse"
The images are facts and, therefore, part of the story: The journalist's job is "not to determine what people should and should not feel," says James Poniewozik at TIME. "It is to get at the truth of what actually happened in an event." And these video images "are at least part of the chain of evidence."
"Did you need to see Gadhafi's corpse?"
In the internet era, news outlets have no choice: Journalists once had to find a balance between "showing the truth and trying not to repulse" their audience, says Kelly McBride of the Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank, as quoted by the Houston Chronicle. But in the internet age the images are going to get out, so not showing them could "make you irrelevant as a news organization." The trick now is to air explicit video without "exploiting or sensationalizing" it.

Scientists look at deodorant for New Zealand's smelly birds
Saturday 25 September 2010
Scientists say they are hoping to develop a deodorant for New Zealand's native birds to stop them falling prey to introduced predators.
New Zealand has an abundance of native bird species, including the famous kiwi, but no native land mammals, meaning introduced animals such as cats and stoats have had a devastating impact on bird numbers.
Canterbury University reseacher Jim Briskie said Friday it appeared New Zealand birds suffered from body odour, making them an easy target for predators.
Briskie said unlike their overseas counterparts, which evolved alongside mammals, New Zealand birds emitted a strong smell when preened to produce wax to protect their feathers.
He said the kiwi smelled like mushrooms or ammonia, while the flightless kakapo parrot's odour was like "musty violin cases", possibly contributing to its endangered status.
The Marsden scientific research fund has given Briskie a 600,000 New Zealand dollar (440,000 US) grant to study native bird body odours over the next three years in the hope of making them less exposed to predators.
"Down the line, if we do find some species are particularly smelly or vulnerable, perhaps I can design a deodorant for kiwis," he told the Dominion Post newspaper.
