Judge casts cloud over web of sex offender residency restrictions
Starting in 2005, Milwaukee suburbs began, one by one, adopting strict rules on where sex offenders could live. As they did, more and more of the released inmates wound up in the city and a shrinking number of places without bans.
Now a judge has declared that the local restrictions, while legally acceptable in isolation, collectively act to defeat the state law meant to manage sex offenders after release from secure state treatment.
City attorneys expect to challenge the ruling, which could have implications far beyond the placement of the offender in question in the case.
"We're certainly aware of it, and are evaluating an appropriate response," Deputy Assistant City Attorney Danielle Bergner said. "Every municipality in Milwaukee County is doing the same thing."
District Attorney John Chisholm said he and others have warned about such a consequence.» Read Full Article

Mequon-Thiensville speaks out against Gov. Walker's proposed budget
Mequon — The Mequon-Thiensville School Board recently passed a legislative resolution expressing its concerns with the proposed 2015-2017 budget drafted by Gov. Scott Walker.
The resolution highlights how Walker's proposed budget would affect the school district, including a $470,000 loss in per-pupil categorial aid and a $230,000 loss resulting from the freeze on state revenue limits. The resolution also expresses apprehension about the proposed phase-out of the Chapter 220 program, which would result in a tax increase of about $0.05 per $1,000 of equalized value over a five-year period.
In the resolution, the school board calls on Sen. Alberta Darling, as well as Reps. Jim Ott and Dan Knodl, to advocate for an increase in public education funding.
"The board's strong resolution indicates the critical need to ensure the state budget reflects the values of residents in Mequon and Thiensville as it relates to their public schools," said Demond Means, superintendent of the Mequon-Thiensville School District. "The board looks forward to its continued dialogue with our locally elected state legislators."
North Shore couple probed for collecting state aid
A Whitefish Bay couple collected nearly $115,000 in public assistance benefits while remodeling and residing in one of the nicer homes on their block, according to investigators.
The stately Lannon stone colonial was so well designed and decorated, it was featured in "At Home" in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2012.
The story apparently didn't trip the radar of state officials who knew Mary Carini Gallagher was on state books as a recipient of food shares and Medicaid benefits, according to court records. That didn't happen until someone sent the Office of Inspector General an anonymous letter in July 2014.
The letter detailed how Gallagher, 51, and Todd Schaller, 51, failed to disclose income and included copies of Gallagher's Quest card, an application for free and reduced lunch for her child, and the Journal Sentinel feature about the couple's blended family and the work Gallagher had done on the house at 5918 N. Santa Monica Blvd.
Agents raided the house earlier this week and seized financial records, travel and shopping receipts, computers and other items investigators believe might reveal evidence of public assistance fraud. Prosecutors are now reviewing the case.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay School Board says radio station would be better suited for community use
Whitefish Bay — The Whitefish Bay School Board decided that a student-run radio station would be unfeasible at Whitefish Bay High School, but might be better suited for use by the Whitefish Bay community at-large.
The idea of a student-run radio station was first proposed by Whitefish Bay resident John Davis in November 2013 when he asked the school board to complete a FCC application for the 103.3 FM frequency that had recently become available.
The school board agreed at that time to complete the application, with the understanding that the district was not obligated to construct a radio station or facilitate a radio program in the future.
The FCC approved Whitefish Bay's application in October.
The FCC license gives the school district 18 months, or until mid-April 2016, to construct a radio station. The school district can also file an 18-month extension if it is making a good-faith effort to construct a station.» Read Full Article

Burglary suspects flee police in Brown Deer, crash car in Whitefish Bay
Brown Deer — Five teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17 were arrested after allegedly burglarizing a house in Brown Deer, leading police on a high-speed chase through the North Shore and eventually crashing into a light pole in Whitefish Bay.
A Brown Deer resident called police at 9:15 a.m. Wednesday to report a burglary at a neighbor's house in the 8500 block of N. 66th St. Brown Deer police arrived in time to see two vehicles flee the scene of the burglary. One of the vehicles fled into Milwaukee, where officers stopped pursuing the car after the chase exceeded 100 miles per hour. Police later learned the vehicle was stolen.
The other vehicle, which was also stolen, led police east on Brown Deer Road, then south on Lake Drive before it drove over police stop sticks on Lake Drive in Fox Point, Whitefish Bay Police Chief Michael Young said. When the vehicle started to slow down, four teenagers bailed from the vehicle and were arrested, Young said.
The 17-year-old driver continued driving south on Lake Drive, turning right onto Henry Clay Drive and crashing into a light pole just east of Whitefish Bay Middle School. The driver attempted to flee on foot, but was caught by officers less than 30 seconds after the crash, Young said.
No one was injured during the incident, which involved collaboration between officers from Brown Deer, Bayside, Fox Point, Whitefish Bay and Glendale.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay hires John Edlebeck as public works director
Whitefish Bay — After four months without a public works director, Whitefish Bay officials have hired Waupaca city engineer and public works director John Edlebeck for the job.
Edlebeck, who has been with Waupaca for 18 years, will start work in Whitefish Bay on May 1, earning a salary of $95,000. Prior to his work in Waupaca, he served as the city engineer for Geneva, Illinois, for 10 years. He started his career in Elgin, Illinois, with D'Onofrio, Kottke and Associates, where he worked for three years.
Edlebeck earned a bachelor's degree in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983. He is a licensed professional engineer in Wisconsin and Illinois. In 2013, he was named one of the top 10 national Public Works Leaders of the Year by the American Public Works Association.
Edlebeck is excited about the opportunity to return to Whitefish Bay, which is his wife Kay's hometown. The two married in 1983 at St. Monica Parish. His new job opportunity will place him and Kay within close driving distance of her parents in Bayside, her sister and brother-in-law in Whitefish Bay and their four children, who all live in the Milwaukee and Chicago area.
"Right now we are driving down to Milwaukee or Chicago every other weekend, so when the position came open, it was something I was very interested in pursuing," he said.» Read Full Article

Area has some of state's highest, lowest divorce rates
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
ROCHESTER — Divorce rates in the Granite State are on the rise according to recent U.S. Census Bureau figures and some of the communities with the highest and lowest rates are located in the Seacoast and Tri-City regions.
"I don't think Carroll or Belknap County are seeing a sharp increase as compared with other locales in New Hampshire," Kalled said. "I think it is fair to say that ever since the economic recession was triggered by the events of 2008, as people face increasingly hard financial pressures, those pressures add to and worsen the pressures that already exist in a marriage."
Kalled said his office doesn't base its data on its socioeconomic status of clients so he couldn't say if these statistics applied specifically to New Hampshire couples. But he said in most cases, couples get divorced because it's the best decision for them.
"Given the way the economy is right now, the way it is, most people can't afford a lawyer," she said, noting there are alternatives available and most times, people elect to represent themselves in court. She estimates in her 20 years of experience, approximately 75 percent of people represent themselves.
The Huffington Post reports even a Norwegian study published last year says heterosexual couples where men share in household work are 50 percent more likely to divorce from their partners.

Series 40 UI design port from Android webinar - companion article
This article is companion for the UI design techniques for porting Android apps to Series 40 full touch webinars held in October 2012. It covers both sessions (4 October 2012 and 10 October 2012).
Series 40
Porting an application design from Android to Series 40 is not as difficult as it might first appear. While Series 40 phones are cost-optimized, their smartphone-like experience is provided by a UI with many comparable features. We recommend that you never compare designs for different size screens because the screen real estate for relevant information and call-to-action becomes more and more of an issue when reducing the screen size. For the webinar examples we're comparing designs for devices with similar sizes: Series 40 Full touch (3'' screen) and e.g. Galaxy Mini (3,14'' screen). Some of the advice may also apply to devices with larger sizes.
The webinar addresses basic UI design aspects when porting a design from Android "Jelly Bean" to Series 40 full touch. This wiki page is the "companion" to the webinar. It includes:
- Webinar exercises (we will add "recommended solutions" after the second webinar session)
- Q/A from the webinar sessions
- Link to slide deck [will be added].
- Link to recording [will be added]
Webinar exercises
This section contains problems raised in the webinar exercises. The recommended solutions will be added after the second session.
- How would you change the following structure for Series 40 full touch?
- How do Android Jelly Bean and Series 40 full touch differ in their use of the "select multiple items" pattern?
- Which device has more pixels, the Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 or the Nokia Asha 311?
- Are there any limitations in using buttons in Series 40 full touch?
- What are the benefits of Series 40 full touch backstep paradigm?
- To be added after webinar

Jo Koy
From filling sold–out clubs across the nation, to appearing weekly as a regular on Chelsea Lately, Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings at a Las Vegas coffee house. His infectious, explosive energy onstage, insightful jokes, and family–inspired humor crosses all boundaries. In 2007, Variety magazine named Jo Koy one of the "10 Comics to Watch!" Raised in Tacoma, Washington, Jo credits his mother for his comedic and acting talents. Encouraged by his mom, Jo participated in school talent shows and presented impromptu performances for his family and friends. This loving support led to the Las Vegas coffee house, and inspired a move to Los Angeles.
In 2005, Jo hit the "opportunity of a lifetime" with a performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He became one of a select few ever to receive a standing ovation. Since then, he has appeared several times throughout the years. A single father, Jo Koy was inspired by his son and began working on his first Comedy Central special "Don't Make Him Angry."
Jo has appeared on various VH1 I Love series, as well as The Joy Behar Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, and Jamie Foxx: Laffapalooza. He is a regular headlining comedian at the world famous Improv, tours the college circuit nationwide, and performs in comedy clubs both in the U.S., and internationally. A firm believer in service and giving back to the community, Jo is currently working with The Lupus Foundation bringing awareness to this cause. Jo resides in Los Angeles, California.

Ask the judge that told the USPTO that mice were patentable (against the USPTO's wishes).How the hell is all this mess supposed to support progress, which was the original intention when the concept of patents was introduced⁈
Not at all, but the system does need to be reformed to prevent certain kinds of patents.Does anyone else here think that patents have outlived their usefulness a very long time ago?
I'm not convinced patents are useful at all. Really, there are enough incentives already, like being the first to market or raising funds through a variety of means (even donations or pledges). What patents do instead is create an opportunity for excess profits by stifling competition, effectively enacting a monopoly. They might also reduce incentives for innovation, if it proves some new technology builds upon patented ideas.
So I don't really get this "some patents are ok" thing. Do they become evil once they visibly step on your toes?
The problem is with all the generic patents that cover everything, and the patents that cover obvious things that many people would inevitably come up with as soon as they start working in that field. That's a job for major patent reform, not necessarily abolishing them altogether.
Aww, please let it be true!
See my signature.
You forgot sarcasm tags here. A large enterprise (global player) has by far a longer breath for a patent / law fight than a small business. Patents are always in favour of the large fishes.Originally Posted by yogi_berra
In the 18th Century, when the Founding Fathers established the United States, communications and distribution of a good were slow. The Founding Fathers felt 7 years was an adequate amount of time for an inventor/investor to recover their development costs and possibly ("POSSIBLY", mind you, not guarantee) make some profit. Fast forward to the 21st Century: communications are near instant, the time to distribute a good has decreased significantly, and patent terms have been extended. Extended. In a world where recovery of the development costs is also significantly reduced and a company CAN make a profit. Excessive profits even. Extending patent protection was not the answer, since now, instead of promoting the arts and sciences, patents now hinder said progress.
The correct solution should have been to decrease patent terms to 3 to 3.5 years: a suitable amount of time to recover costs and make a profit. Patents in the 21st Century are used as a means to lock others out of a market and stifle competitors(or at least make attempts to: see the recent Apple suits against everyone in the mobile computing device space). As it stands, when most patents expire nowadays, the technology/concept it covered has long since been abandoned by consumers, making the technology/concept worthless, except for any historical value it may hold. Think about it: what company in their right mind would now build a cellphone crammed full of tech from 1994? Consumers will say "Oh! How quaint! an antique cellphone!" and pass it on by.....
I don't feel abolishing patents completely is the answer(except software patents: software evolves too fast to be hindered by patents). Again, as I stated before: patent terms need to be reduced, not extended.
Remember the US legal system is not based on right or wrong, it is based on who has the best argument.

For developers (which are also "users" of firmware code bases), coreboot offers different design decisions in a number of places: We try to separate hardware init from "user interface" (where uboot combines both), we try to keep the hardware init part small (I think that was one of the reasons why the Qi bootloader project was started, too), we try to keep vendor branches at a minimum, and finally we don't shy away from tree cleanups across all boards and architectures (since there are few decisions that truly stand the test of time - and hardware progress).
In the end we hope this provides a code base that is more pleasing to work with, but that's obviously both biased and a matter of taste :-)
This is a general statement, so I don't know which of these things motivated Alexandru to do the port (if any), but http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/co...ry/076972.html points at least to the cleanup thing... If in doubt, it was "because - why not?"
I would love to see a single-board computer like Cubieboard or Raspberry Pi but with ARMv8 64-bit architecture.
Or with quad-core 2.3 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi.

Huawei Tron was announced today, it is an android games console for $120 (in china) inc gamepad with these specs:
Android 4.2
Tegra 4 (quadcore cortex a15 at an unknown clockspeed)
2gb ram
16gb storage
802.11ac wifi
bluetooth 3.0
1 x usb 3.0 port
1 x ethernet port (unknown if gigabit or not)
micro sd card slot
3.5mm stereo jack.
Huawei game controller.
If we could get ubuntu or another linux distro working on this it would make for a good spec low power pc.

The Huawei Tron is also available with 32GB with an unknown price.
Here is a photo of the controller:
The circle in the middle is a touchpad.
I have an Odroid-X, which I purchase last year. It's now been superseded by the Odroid-XU ($139):
...and the less expensive Odroid-U3 ($59):
As yet, no 64-bit Odroid board, but I would guess it will be available sometime in 2014. No idea what the price would be. I'm torn between upgrading to the XU now or waiting for a 64-bit board.

Chinese – Asian Languages & Literature B.A.
Many majors require only two years of high school algebra, a year of high school geometry, and a semester of quantitative or formal reasoning on the college level.
If you are interested in the Chinese B.A. you will need a quantitative or formal reasoning course as part of the General Education Program, but you won't need a specific math or statistics course.
If you decide to add an Entrepreneurship Certificate or an International Business Certificate to your major, or if you want to prepare for law school, professional work in the health sciences, or a graduate business degree, you may need additional math or formal reasoning course work.
So even if you are planning a major that does not require college math or statistics courses, you will have more options in college if you take four years of high school math and work to master the material. That's why the University of Iowa strongly recommends that you take four years of high school math.If you are interested in more information about this major, click here.

Parking fine? It's a joke says Carlisle pensioner
Last updated at 12:13, Tuesday, 06 November 2012
A pensioner has received a £100 fine – because he visited a Carlisle car park twice in the same day.
Tommy Salkeld, 66, visited the Asda store on St Nicholas Gate Retail Park twice on October 13.
The rules state that cars are only allowed to park at the complex – which is home to Burger King, Halfords, Asda and Toys 'R' Us – for two hours.
They say that Mr Salkeld stayed for seven hours and 16 minutes.
Mr Salkeld, of Chapel Close, Warwick Bridge, near Carlisle, said: "I first went at about 10.40am and I was in the car park for about 20 to 40 minutes.
"I went home and my car was parked outside my house for most of the day until I returned to Asda later on to get some shopping.
"I couldn't believe it when I got the fine through the post. It's a joke."
Mr Salkeld, who drives a Nissan Micra Acenta, has written to the car park regulator ParkingEye.
He said: "I entered at 10.40am at the entrance beside Burger King and left within 40 minutes at the south exit of the car park besides Halfords. I asked the company to check their camera at that exit.
"When I left at 5.56pm I entered via London Road and exited onto Currock Road.
"Between these times my car was parked outside my home."
The firm wrote back to Mr Salkeld after his correspondence and said: "You say that you were not on site for the stated period.
"After reviewing your case, there is no evidence to substantiate your claim therefore the parking charge still stands.
"In order for ParkingEye to cancel this charge, we will need valid evidence indicating that you did not break the terms and conditions stipulated on the signage."
Mr Salkeld had until today to pay a reduced £60 fine, otherwise he must cough up the full £100 amount.
He said: "I'm not paying it. If they checked their cameras properly they would see that I wasn't there all day."
A spokesman for ParkingEye said: "Mr Salkeld says he visited the car park at St Nicholas Gate on two separate occasions on the same day to go shopping.
"He has appealed his charge, and we are still waiting for him to send us evidence of his shopping. When he does this, we hope to resolve the matter as we always support genuine shoppers."
Last week Canon Maurice Bartlett accused the company of "extracting money by false pretences".
He says he was also unfairly penalised for driving through St Nicholas Gate retail car park, in Carlisle.
The 79-year-old drove through the car park on the way to pick up friends.
He then drove back through St Nicholas Gate on his way home.
Despite outlining his day to ParkingEye, his appeal was rejected.

Have your say
I have a Nissan Leaf - all electric. There is a charging point in the car park, complete with 2 designated parking bays, reserved for their use. It can take 6 or 7 hours to fully charge the car from empty to full. I was there, solely to charge my car, for 2hours 20 minutes. I got the "automated" parking ticket from Parking eye, first week in July this year. I appealed, stating my case, which was fairly obvious, thinking I would hear no more. But, this appeal was rejected! The point being, you can't have a charging point for electric cars, then fine people for staying more than 2 hours to charge their car!
I have replied to the rejection, saying I will not pay, so far have not heard back from them. Perhaps someone with an ounce of common sense read my
second appeal.....
Don't ignore letters, especially if they come from the court. You have appealed the matter, and it was rejected. You do not have to prove your innocence - they have to prove "on the balance of probability" that you have breached the conditions, which relates to contract law. It's a disgrace. See it through - at the end of the day because it is a contract they have to show you have caused them loss, and this is not the case. It's shameful - you do not have to prove you shopped here - they have to prove you parked there for the time they allege. Why would you keep your receipts? I didn't and I won my case. Seek compensation as well.

Information Visualization For Mobile Applications
Information visualization is the methodology of visual representation of huge amount of data using various techniques to help people understand and analyze data in the most convenient manner. This article explains the need for and use of this technique in mobile applications.
Need for information visualization for mobile applications?
Mobile devices have many restrictions as compared to desktop computers that should be taken in to account when developing mobile applications.
- Small screen size
- Low resolution
- Fewer colors
- Difference in aspect ratio
- Hardware limitation – slow CPU speed, less powerful Graphics CPU, memory limitation
- Difference in Input Mechanism
- Variable physical environment
- Slow internet Connectivity
- Limited graphics tools
Mobile Visualization Design Guidelines
The following guidelines will help designers in developing effective mobile visualization application:
Only necessary and relevant information must be displayed to the user from the available data. Too less or too more information can cause difficulty to the user to in performing the task. Selection is especially critical in case of mobile device visualizations because the limited space restricts how much information can be displayed on the screen.
Data and visual mapping
Remember 'A picture speaks a thousand words!', the selected data must be appropriately mapped to visual objects (e.g. chart, graphs,images,animation, etc.) which will provide the information to the users in the most effective manner. The data and visual mapping must be consistently applied throughout the application.
The central purpose of visual presentation is to effectively communicate the information to the user.
Innovative screen usage
Remember that you can do different things with the display: Sometimes you can just turn things around!
Full Screen Mode - This will increase the space for visualizing information of the application. But keep in mind that the user may lose important information, such as the battery, network, and other indicators at the top of the screen.
User Interactivity
Keep in mind the input devices available to explore and rearrange the visualization. A high level of user interactivity is necessary for productive usage of the application.
Keep it Simple
Too much complex Information visualization can confuse the user. Investigate the core usage of the application and keep the visualization simple. Give options to drill down, if additional information is required. Don't get overwhelmed by the technology, new but complex visualization technology should not compromise the usability.
Ergonomic considerations
Consider human perceptual and cognitive capabilities. Users must be able to easily recognize and interpret the visualization.
More information on ergonomic design : Ergonomic Design
The visualization's effectiveness should be tested thoroughly.
Chart representation instead of textual representation of data.
Above is an example where data selection and its representation is done correctly, but in left image the presentation is not effective as compared to the right image because of unformatted text.

October 10th, 2008
I had to hurry and write before I change my mind that it was a good day! :) I had Micro Lab exam this morning. I'll let you know how I did next week. I wasn't as prepared as I could have been, life has been UNBELIEVABLY busy. (Got kids? Then you know what I'm talking about!)
Already by late Monday afternoon, I wasn't sure what day it was anymore. I sure got in some extra exercise running my tail off. My thought was that I was just having the Monday blues. Ha. It didn't get much better as the week progressed. Well, until today. I think it has something to do with not having classes again until next Monday. :) It's a full weekend though.
A football game on Friday night, marching band competition on Saturday (We host, so lots of parents volunteering. Big job, lots of fun!), and 'Walk Now for Autism' walk at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Sunday. Oh, and I'll need to study for that big micro lecture exam on Monday. DNA, tRNA, mRNA, ATP, obligatory anaerobes, log, lag, oh my!
How was your week? Are you hanging in there? What do you have planned for the weekend? Hope you get a chance to have some relaxed time!
