Shisui Uchiha (うちはシスイ, Uchiha Shisui) was a shinobi from Konohagakure's Uchiha clan and was renowned as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" (瞬身のシスイ, Shunshin no Shisui, English TV: Shisui the Teleporter).
Born to Kagami Uchiha of the Uchiha clan,[3] Shisui was noted to be one of the most talented members of the famed clan.[4] At some point in the past, he fought with Ao of Kirigakure who retained an acute memory of Shisui's chakra colour, as well as the Uchiha's ability to control others with his Mangekyō Sharingan's ability.[5]
Shisui was best friends with Itachi Uchiha, who shortly after joining the ANBU began to act "oddly". Shisui was instructed by the Konoha Military Police Force to monitor Itachi because of this.[6] Soon afterwards Shisui was found drowned in the Naka River with a suicide note stating that he was tired of carrying out the clan's duties. The police suspected that Itachi had murdered him and used his Sharingan to fake the suicide note, since Shisui was very devoted to the clan, and suicide would have been highly unusual and uncharacteristic of him.[7] Itachi later told Sasuke Uchiha that he did in fact kill Shisui and forged the suicide note, all in order to awaken his own Mangekyō Sharingan.[8]
However, Itachi would later reveal the truth behind the incident to his brother: Shisui was perplexed that the clan would not deter from the coup d'etat that they were planning and Shisui was greatly concerned with the consequences that would follow their actions. He told Itachi that he had tried to use Kotoamatsukami to stop them, but Danzō Shimura stole his right eye, adamant on protecting the village his own way. Fearing that Danzō would get his left eye as well, Shisui entrusted it to Itachi, telling him to protect both the village and the Uchiha name.[9] In order to prevent conflict from arising over his eyes within the clan, Shisui made it appear as though he had crushed them before dying.[10] He would later erase his existence, leaving no corpse behind.[10][11] It would appear that Shisui's corpse had in fact disappeared, as even Kabuto Yakushi noted that he was unable to locate it. Shisui was one of Kabuto's prime candidates to be reincarnated.[11]
Itachi was Shisui's best friend; in fact, Itachi thought of him as a brother.[12] Shisui taught Itachi that "self-sacrifice… a nameless shinobi who protects peace from within its shadow…" was the true mark of a shinobi.[13] Shisui was also very devoted to the clan, which is why the Konoha Military Police Force asked him to spy on Itachi. It is because of this devotion that the police did not believe he could have committed suicide.[4]
Although Shisui was devoted to his clan, he was even more devoted to the well being of his village, a trait he inherited from his father. His devotion to his village was so strong that he never fell victim to the Curse of Hatred when awakening his Sharingan or even his Mangekyō Sharingan. He even went as far as to attempt to put his clan under a genjutsu in order to stop their coup d'etat which would lead to civil war.[14] However this failed when Danzo stole his right eye. Knowing Danzo's power hungry personality would eventually lead him to steal his left eye as well he resolved to prevent Danzo from stealing it. With this in mind, he entrusted his left eye to Itachi and told him to protect the village.[15] According to Itachi, he and Naruto Uzumaki hold similar ideals and goals.[10]
Bearing stark resemblance to his father, Shisui also had short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes, that were turned upwards at each end. In the anime however, these lines are broken instead of whole. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders.
Shisui was noted to be one of the most talented members of the Uchiha clan. He had earned the nickname of "Shisui of the Body Flicker", possibly implying that he had great mastery of the Body Flicker Technique.[4] He was also hailed as the most powerful genjutsu user of the clan.[13] Another testament to his prowess is that Kabuto Yakushi wanted to reincarnate him for the war but failed to find sufficient DNA samples.[11] He also displayed a high level of pain tolerance, as he didn't flinch from ripping out his own left eye to give to Itachi.[15] He wielded a tantō which he was presumably adept at using.[15]
Like many members of his clan, Shisui was a wielder of the Sharingan. Alongside his friend Itachi, he was praised for his mastery and sheer power in its use.[4]
Mangekyō Sharingan
Shisui was one of the few members in the clan's history that was able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. It granted him access to powerful genjutsu techniques, the strongest of which was a unique genjutsu noted to be of the highest calibre: Kotoamatsukami.[13] This technique allowed him to enter a person's mind and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things on their own free will; the victim wouldn't even notice they were being manipulated.[16]
This ability was so unique and powerful, that Tobi wanted it for himself and was angry that Danzō managed to destroy the eye before he died.[17] Kabuto was also extremely thrilled when he learned that the remaining eye was within Itachi's crow.[18] This genjutsu however, could only be used once a decade,[19] unless the user had a way to augment the process such as with Hashirama Senju's cells, thereby drastically reducing the time required from ten years to only a few hours.[20][21] Shisui's eyes were also seen as something of a treasure even within his own clan, as before his death he had to ensure that it looked like he had destroyed them before he had died, fearing it would end in conflict otherwise.[10]
Throughout his lifetime and even in death, Shisui influenced Itachi greatly as a friend in teaching him self-sacrifice and how a true shinobi must protect his village from within its own shadow. This possibly influenced Itachi in his future actions to the staving off of a possible civil war within the village that may have escalated into a world war.[14] Even years after his demise, Shisui's powers and actions left their mark on the world. While Danzō used the eye he stole for his questionable agendas to maintain their village, Itachi keeps Shisui's other eye to honour his friend's final request to protect the village and their clan's good name.[15] Inserting the eye in the body of a crow, Itachi made final arrangements to implant the bird in Naruto's body as a counter measure against Sasuke if he learned the truth behind the Uchiha Clan's demise and attempted to destroy Konoha.
Both of Shisui's eyes were eventually destroyed: Danzō destroying his eye in his final moments to keep Tobi from acquiring it, and a reincarnated Itachi, after Kotoamatsukami was used on him, he incinerated the crow so that the left eye would not fall into enemy hands. But Itachi also stated that above all else, Shisui wanted someone to inherit his will and ideals, believing Naruto to be that someone.[19]
- Shisui's name has two interpretable meanings. Combining the words Shi (死, Death) and Sui (水, Water), Shisui would mean "death water", which is a reference to his death by drowning. "Shisui" (止水) alone means "still water" or "stagnant water".
- (To Itachi) "…You're my best friend and the only one I can count on… Protect the village… and the Uchiha name."[15]

Light weight but handle with care
By Jason
from Worcester, MA
I really like the product, but now that we have been using them for a few weeks, I am seeing a lot of them coming back to me from students broken where the card holder attaches to a lanyard. This part is obviously the weakness in the design. Overall I am happy with the product.
Light weight and simple
I love how light weight and simple these card holders are. I keep business cards in the back slot and some students keep other forms of ID. The only drawback that I see is the area where you would clip a lanyard or other type device is not as strong as one that is made of fabric or has some sort of grommet. I passed these out to my entire student body and faculty and have heard few complaints.
Excellent choice
By Jeremy
from Lanham, MD
I'm able to fit my badge and all my proximity cards in this case. All my employees love this badge holder.
Not what I expected
By seeburt
from Whittier, Ca.
This is a very "soft" edge cover. I thought it would be sturdier. I was looking for something that covered the card completely, but it was hard to tell from the picture. Customer service and delivery was fine.
I would buy again
By Jimmy Education Manager

Good product and quick deliverly.

Federal Drive Show Blog - August 20, 2013
Tuesday - 8/20/2013, 10:45am EDT
This is the Federal Drive show blog. Here you can listen to our interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day, as well as links to other stories and resources we discuss.
Today's Interviews:
Vice President for Policy
Partnership for Public Service
The Office of Personnel Management has finalized new rules covering relocation, retention and recruitment. That means you've got to establish residence in a new geographic area before you can get a relocation benefits check. And it means managers will find it a little harder to hand out retention bonuses. First they'll have to prove a job it actually hard to fill. John Palguta is the Vice President for Policy at the Partnership for Public Service. He joined Tom and Emily with his take on the new rules.
Procurement Attorney
BP has gone to court to win back the chance to nab federal contracts. The Houston Chronicle reported last week that the energy company had filed a lawsuit against the government. It came after BP failed to persuade the Environmental Protection Agency that it had reformed its ways following the 2010 explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. EPA has debarred the company. For analysis, we turn to procurement attorney Joe Petrillo in our weekly Legal Loop segment.
Vice President of Legal Affairs
Public Knowledge
The Obama administration has emphasized the protection of intellectual property as a linch-pin economic growth. The president backed an overhaul of the patent and trademark system to better protect IP. Four years ago, he appointed the first intellectual property enforcement coordinator as part of his White House staff. Victoria Espinel left earlier this month. For an assessment of her tenure, we turn to Sherwin Ciy, vice president of legal affairs for the non-profit Public Knowledge.
National Capital Planning Commission
Congress has asked the National Capital Planning Commission to imagine a taller skyline for the District of Columbia. What would repealing the Height Act of 1910 mean for federal agencies, national security and public access? The Commission has just completed a series of town hall meetings on several scenarios. Chairman Preston Bryant joined Tom and Emily with an update
The Hill
When golfing during his vacation on Martha's Vineyard last week, President Obama couldn't hear the riots in Egypt or the whining from members of Congress. But he couldn't ignore them either. Now the president is back in town, all suited up. For a couple of weeks, he's got the place to himself because Congress doesn't return until Sept. 9. So what's on the agenda? Ben Goad covers these things for The Hill Newspaper.
Heard Tom and Emily talk about another story during the show, but don't see it here? Check out our daily federal headlines for the latest news affecting the federal community.

August 11, 2014 12:31 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsThe startup has developed a box it that will simultaneously split a TV or tablet screen into four functional windows. 4seTV will be going the retail route for its box, but it has an interesting proposition for cable companies: something for nothing.
House authorizes death of CableCard
July 23, 2014 4:52 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsThe U.S. House of Representatives has reauthorized STELA. The cable industry had hoped to tack on provisions to reform retransmission consent rules, but the House declined. But the House did include language to end separable security requirements. In other words, the House has agreed to let the loathed CableCard die.
Aereo loss is a very big deal
June 26, 2014 1:34 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsAnother thing the average viewer doesn't get is that Aereo and its approach was a hedge against rising cable costs. Retrans fees are going to keep going up. Cable fees are going to keep going up. That's a win for broadcasters, but for no one else. It's a clear loss for viewers, larger than most realize.
TV Everywhere apps: "Market the damn things"
June 16, 2014 1:49 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsMSOs are getting crushed by their over the top rivals when it comes to TV Everywhere – an area where the only thing they have to do to become more competitive is to let their customers know that they are, in fact, competing. The Diffusion Group's advice to MSOs: "Market the damn things."
Oliver's Army
June 6, 2014 6:04 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsJohn Oliver's rant about network neutrality early this week was impassioned, entertaining, and, in the end, completely wrong about what network neutrality is and how it works. But that may well end up being irrelevant for a couple of reasons.
Comcast's Roberts ranks 10th among nation's highest-paid CEOs
May 27, 2014 12:30 pm | by Mike Robuck | CommentsComcast CEO Brian Roberts was among the nation's highest-paid CEOs last year, according to recent research by the Associated Press and executive pay research firm Equilar. Ranked 10th overall, Roberts pulled down $31.4 million last year, which was up 8 percent from the previous year.
TWC: We'll try harder
May 21, 2014 12:32 pm | by Mike Robuck | CommentsWith their $45 billion merger making the regulatory rounds, the last thing Comcast and Time Warner Cable needed was a very public black eye in American Customer Satisfaction Index survey (ACSI), which was released yesterday. To recap, Time Warner Cable finished dead last in customer satisfaction for both its video and data services while Comcast was second to last in the same catagories in the survey.
Mystery operator deploys Benu Networks for community Wi-Fi
May 20, 2014 1:04 pm | by Mike Robuck | CommentsGiven all of the Wi-Fi related news over the past few months, an interesting press release came over the transom this morning. Benu Networks announced today that a "major North American MSO" had deployed its technology for community Wi-Fi deployments. Benu added more mystery to release by saying that it was in lab trials with two more North American service providers.
FCC: Four more months of bickering about net-neut
May 16, 2014 1:47 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsNetwork neutrality advocates insist the Internet has already been destroyed by the opening of so-called fast lanes. Meanwhile the industry is behaving as if FCC Chair Tom Wheeler's willingness to consider reclassifying broadband as a Title II service is a done deal.
CableLabs working on information models for industry
May 15, 2014 12:15 pm | by Mike Robuck | CommentsOver the past few years, CableLabs has been cooking up information models for the cable operator industry that are designed to provide commonality across the various technologies and systems. CableLabs chief technology officer Ralph Brown said the data information architecture seeks to integrate the different networks and systems into a common platform that will improve the rate of innovation and provide a seamless experience.
AT&T's pursuit of DirecTV thrills no one
May 13, 2014 1:39 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsAT&T is on the verge of buying DirecTV, according to reports. The deal could be worth $50 billion, but no one thinks this is about synergy, or subscribers, or scale. Most think it's about AT&T's dividend. Whoo. Hoo. AT&T can buy DirecTV, but it won't be able to buy an exclamation point.
Verizon: Stormy weather in Q1
April 25, 2014 1:20 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsVerizon's FiOS TV penetration strategy seems to be running out of steam at the 35 percent mark, but subscriber adds were down in Q1 mostly because people don't want installers in their homes when it's snowing. Meanwhile, FiOS broadband is growing okay. The FiOS footprint is what it is, but what about Verizon over the top?
Review: Tablo a nifty little over-the-air HDTV system
April 19, 2014 2:24 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsThe Tablo is a nifty little item that lets you play over-the-air signals on your tablet. You can watch live, or record in advance and watch later. You can choose to record specific episodes, new episodes of a series, or an entire series. You can take your device anywhere, connect to the Internet, and you have access to your Tablo, including everything you've got stored on your disk drive.
From NAB: A reckoning is coming. Not now, but soon enough
April 10, 2014 2:42 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsUltra high definition TV. Workflow management. End-to-end multi-screen (or "over the top") delivery. For anyone even remotely involved in content preparation and distribution, those were the three big themes at the NAB Show that concludes today. And there's a glut of vendors aiming to provide each of those technologies.
Sense and Copyrightability
March 24, 2014 6:42 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsThe fact that OTA broadcast stations are also carried on cable systems is thoroughly and absolutely irrelevant to Aereo – Cablevision is absolutely irrelevant to Aereo, and even if five Supreme Court Justices disagree I still won't buy the argument.

This act usually includes other items, such as eggs(see Egging), bird feed, corn kernels, honey, forks, spoons, honey, bologna, and anything else one wishes to use against their victim. Note that bologna removes paint from cars when it dries.

Quarrier Corner: Mascot redesign still underway
Over the past year and a half that I have been Athletic Director, I have been working with several groups in an effort to update our Quarrier mascot. This process has been met with everything from excitement to anger, with a whole lot of miscommunication mixed in. Hopefully, this article will help clear up our intentions.First off, let me define or identify "our." I am part of a mascot committee made up of representatives from the booster club, coaching staff, students, administration and fine arts, In all, eight members meet once each month with one goal in mind: come up with approximately four mascot/logo choices that will be put out to students, staff and the public for a vote. We are hoping to have these choices ready this spring, but as we are finding, things don't always go as quickly as we'd like.Secondly, let me explain why we are doing this. It is a simple question: When you think of your favorite sports team's mascot, what image comes to your mind? My guess is that there is only one image that you think of. (Hopefully, there are a lot of pictures of that sweet Duke Blue Devil floating around in people's minds right now.) Well, this past fall I sent a student around our school to take pictures of any Quarrier mascot he could find. In about 20 minutes he returned with over 10 different "Quarrier" designs.This is simply why we need to update our mascot – we don't have just one. We are and will always be the Quarriers, but we do not have a single, consistent icon that is ours and is recognizable as the Quarrier. We live in a highly advanced technological age compared to that of the 1960s when our current and most popular mascot was drawn. As a result, any time we want to print posters, rugs, banners, etc., we do not have an image with a resolution high enough for most companies to use. So they simply have their graphic people draw one. We feel this is unacceptable and is exactly why we need an updated mascot. Finally, let me address some of the possibilities for an update. I have been in contact with professional graphic artists as well as students and professors from local universities who are in the process of helping us with this project. In discussing our vision for a Quarrier mascot with these artists, we have explained that one option is simply to draw with minimal changes our current, most popular icon into an appropriately pixelated format. We have also explained that we would like to see stronger, sleeker, more proud versions and choices– much along the lines that some of the local colleges have done. USD's Charlie Coyote went from a mascot that resembled Wiley Coyote to the fierce Coyote we see on the USD logo today.Change can be really tough for some folks and sometimes nothing is broken so there is no need for change. However, in this case it is quite obvious that the time for change or at least an update is now. For 23 years I have been a Quarrier, and I couldn't be prouder of that, my community and my school. For some it might just be a superficial thing, but I want there to be one recognizable Quarrier mascot that symbolizes the pride and strength of our students at Dell Rapids High School and the people of Dell Rapids.

Magnum Showcase:Territory
September 12, 2013
by London Office
Magnum's monthly competition Magnum Showcase, run in collaboration with IdeasTap, is an opportunity for young photographers to have their portfolio's critiqued by a Magnum photographer or senior staff member. That work is then shown on Magnum & IdeasTap's websites.
Photographers were invited to submit portfolio's to the theme 'Territory' to win written feedback from Magnum London's Cultural Director, Sophie Wright.
The winning photographer is Nicholas White, whose successful project can be viewed here:
The photographs belong to a larger series which examines the way in which Dartmoor is utilised for the training of our Armed Forces. Embracing the infrastructure as part of Dartmoor's cultural heritage, whilst simultaneously acknowledging the environmental impacts inherent with military practices, the body of work invites the viewer to consider the ways in which the Ministry of Defence use our natural spaces and encourages them to draw their own conclusions about the politics of such uses, with relation to conservation, public access, land ownership and national defense.
You can apply for our next Showcase judged by Magnum photographer Mark Power to the theme of Suburbia now:

burrs on handles need to file down very sharp takea a couple of minutes
September 8, 2014
This product works as expected. Havent had any problems in the couple weeks I've owned it.
March 6, 2013
Could be better
I own 3 different kinds of kettlebells and this one is my least favorite. It can be awkward in your hands due to the handle being more triangular. The kettlebells with the rounded handles feel more comfortable. I cant always get both hands around the handle. Some fingers would not fit because the triangle make the space smaller.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Samuel Adams Boston Lager® is the best example of the fundamental characteristics of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex. It is brewed using a decoction mash, a time consuming, traditional four vessel brewing process discarded by many contemporary brewers. This process brings forth a rich sweetness from the malt that makes it well worth the effort. Samuel Adams Boston Lager® also uses only the finest of ingredients including two row barley, as well as German Noble aroma hops. The exclusive use of two row barley not only imparts a full, smooth body but also gives the beer a wide spectrum of malt flavor ranging from slightly sweet to caramel to slightly roasted. The Noble hops varieties, Hallertau Mittelfruh and Tettnang Tettnanger, add a wide range of floral, piney and citrus notes, which are present from the aroma, through the flavor, to the lingering smooth finish. We take great pride in the Noble hops used in our beers. They are hand selected by Jim Koch and our other brewers from the worlds oldest hops growing area. Among the worlds most expensive, they cost twenty times as much as other hops.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - You're suffocating in the dark and you can't move. The snow that had seemed so fluffy moments before as you carved wide S turns down the slope is cemented in your nose, your eyes and your mouth. Your life depends on a small avalanche transceiver - if you decided to bring it - and your companions - if you decided to ski with friends.
If you ask Randall Osterhuber, by this point the key mistakes have already been made and much of what he would recommend when it comes to avalanche safety is moot. For Osterhuber, director and treasurer of the Sierra Avalanche Center, the key to surviving an avalanche is to never get caught up in one.
"My first answer would be to get an education and a formal outdoor backcountry class. Since the weather and snowpack change constantly, you have to check the advisory daily," Osterhuber said.
SAC publishes a daily avalanche advisory on its website, www.sierraavalanchecenter.org, that covers the Central Sierra Nevada between Yuba Pass on the north and Ebbetts Pass on the south. The forecast applies only to backcountry areas outside established ski boundaries and describes general avalanche conditions.
It's important to monitor the advisory even when the snowpack is light. In fact, dry winters can sometimes make for the worst avalanche seasons. Last year, there were two avalanche fatalities in the Tahoe basin both caused by an early, weak snowpack that gave way in March as snow accumulated on top.
"The old, weak snow that had been reburied was the fault line. Dry winters can breed especially weak grains within the snowpack," Osterhuber said.
To assess specific conditions for where you're skiing, you need to know what to look for. Donner Summit Avalanche Seminars and Expedition: Kirkwood Avalanche Education both offer backcountry classes in the Tahoe area.
The avalanche safety sessions can help you recognize dangerous conditions like wet snow instabilities and storm and wind slabs, as well as which routes are more avalanche-prone. They can also teach you basic backcountry protocol, like skiing with a buddy and exposing only one skier at a time to avalanche danger.
Though Osterhuber said you can't rely on gear, there are three pieces no skier should leave home without, according to the SAC website: an avalanche transceiver, also known as an avalanche beacon, which emits a signal that can guide rescuers to your body; a collapsible probe; and a shovel. There are no guarantees when it comes to avalanches though, and skiers must know how the gadgets work before heading into the backcountry.
"You can't have gear trump your knowledge of how to use it. You can't look at this gear as protecting you from an avalanche. It won't keep you from being killed," Osterhuber said. "What it does is help with body retrieval. You can't be fooled that just because you're wearing a transceiver that you have immunity."
Avalanche backpacks such as the ABS TwinBag that deploys two airbags when you pull a cord can save your life - according to the ABS website, 97 percent of the 262 who have activated the air bag survived - but are geared more toward advanced skiers and can't replace a transceiver, probe or shovel, Osterhuber said.
"The equipment takes a fair bit of knowledge. People are severely traumatized even if they survive. They get really worked. They're done," Osterhuber said.
If worst comes to worst and you do get caught in an avalanche, Osterhuber had one word of advice: fight. If you can get your head above the snow, it increases your chance of survival exponentially.
Securing at least some breathing space around your nose and mouth can also help, even if your head is buried. By grabbing trees and working your way to the top of the snow could mean the difference between life and death.
"The bottom line is that you have to fight for your life. At that point, the mistakes have already been made," Osterhuber said.

Brookfield man okay in Nepal according to email sent to parents
A Brookfield couple says that they have received word that their son in Nepal is okay but have not directly heard from him since Saturday's earthquake.
Kevin Woods was staying at a guest house 18 miles southeast of Kathmandu when the disaster struck. Woods, who lives in Thailand and is working on PhD, was in Nepal for a conference.
Kevin's parents, Mike and Joyce, learned of the earthquake like many others in the western hemisphere as they woke up on Saturday morning.
After many attempts to contact Kevin via email as well as attempting to call the guest house at which he was staying, the Mike and Joyce received word that their son was okay via an email from one Kevin's friend James.
Author of book featuring Brookfield, Elm Grove police stories to host signing at Brookfield Square
Barnes & Noble at Brookfield Square will be hosting a book signing this weekend for "Wisconsin 5-0: From High Risk Police Calls to Comic Cop Stories."
The book, released last summer, puts together 31 stories from police officers across the state of Wisconsin as author Hilary Dickinson looks to shed more light on what goes on in the minds of law enforcement agents as they respond to situations and how the calls can end up having lasting effects.
Two featured stories cover a pair of the most memorable events to happen in Brookfield and Elm Grove in recent years. Dickinson spoke with City of Brookfield police officer Adam Behnke talks about his experience responding to the Azana Salon and Spa shooting in 2012. Former Elm Grove officer John Krahn is also a voice in the book as he recalls the train crash during the Memorial Day parade in 2009 that left him with injuries that forced him to retire.
Dickinson will be at Barnes & Noble from 1 – 3 p.m. on Sunday.
Brookfield TIF district for The Corridor gets final approval
The developer Irgens got the final approval it needed Monday evening for the creation of the city of Brookfield's fifth tax-incremental financing district.
The Joint Review Board unanimously approved the creation of the district, which will house Irgens' proposed mixed-use development The Corridor.
The district will provide the developer with $7.42 million in grants to assist in the development of phase one of the project. The city's total costs will reach about $11.25 million including financing and will be recouped through new tax revenue generated by the development over a term of 14 or 15 years depending on how much tax-exempt financing Brookfield can obtain.
The Joint Review Board is a body made up of five members — one representative from each of the taxing bodies that will be affected by the TIF district. Mayor Steve Ponto voted for the city of Brookfield; Waukesha County was represented by Department of Administration head Norm Cummings; Cary Tessmann attended for the Waukesha County Technical College district; and school board member Glen Allgaier attended on behalf of the Elmbrook School District. Jeffrey Trader was the Joint Review Board's member from the general public.
Proceedings were smooth throughout the meeting as all members expressed support for the creation of the district.

A final approval stands between Irgens and the creation of the City of Brookfield's fifth tax-incremental financing district.
The joint review board will take up the item at 5:45 p.m. this evening at City Hall.
The board consists of one representative from each of the four taxing bodies that would be affected by the TID, as well as a citizen member.
The current proposal for TID #5 calls for the city to provide $7.42 million in grants to assist in the development of phase one of The Corridor. The city's total costs would reach approximately $11.25 million including financing.
Anthropologie coming to Brookfield
Anthropologie, an upscale women's apparel and accessories retailer, will open a shop in the Town of Brookfield, the chain's second Milwaukee-area location.
Anthropologie has joined the list of retailers that will locate in The Corners shopping and residential complex, Chris Speciale of Bradford Real Estate, one of the project's developers, said Tuesday. Speciale spoke at the 2015 Wisconsin Retail Conference at the Potawatomi Hotel and Casino.
The Corners, which is being built between W. Blue Mound Road and I-94, east of N. Barker Road, is to open in October 2016. Anchored by a 140,000-square-foot Von Maur department store, the complex also will include such retailers as Sendik's Food Market, Chico's, White House Black Market, Café Benelux and Colectivo Coffee.
Anthropologie's more than 200 locations include shops in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward, and in Madison's Hilldale Shopping Center.
Brookfield couple charged in child neglect case pleads not guilty
The Brookfield couple charged with neglecting a child entered separate not guilty pleas last week.
Both the mother and stepfather, who are accused of keeping a 13-year-old child locked in the basement and not allowing her to shower, brush her teeth or use the restroom, are next scheduled to appear in Waukesha County court for a hearing on the morning of May 18.
The defendants are not being named to protect the identity of the child.
City of Brookfield Police began investigating the case after an anonymous tip and later executed a search warrant on the property March 5.
The parents were charged in late March after police found the child was being kept in the basement throughout the night and attended school on multiple occasions with a soiled diaper.

One week after the City of Brookfield's Plan Commission unanimously approved a change to its sign code in order to accommodate advertisements on six bus shelters, the common council expressed a great deal more skepticism.
Aldermen brought up concerns regarding the city's powers to enforce cleanliness and maintenance of the shelters as well as questions about the precedent that allowing such advertising might set.
The council voted 12-0-1 to postpone the topic and directed staff to review the issue and report back to the council regarding the concerns that were raised.
Brookfield committee discusses chicken ordinance specifics
The city of Brookfield's Legislative & Licensing Committee went through a list of details Tuesday night that might be included as the city staff continues to move toward an ordinance that would allow more residences to have residential chickens.
In March the committee advised City Attorney Karen Flaherty, Zoning & Building Administrator Larry Goudy and other staff to compose a list of issues regarding the potential ordinance that the aldermen could then go through one-by-one and address.
That list was presented Tuesday night and consisted of 27 separate line items that varied from basics such as the required size of a lot in order for its owner to raise chickens to specifics like the cost of a permit.
The committee, made up of Aldermen Gary Mahkorn, Lisa Mellone, Jeff McCarthy, Bill Carnell and Buck Jurken has been discussing the topic since last fall.
In Tuesday's discussions, Mellone, McCarthy and Carnell maintained their status in favor of increasing the allowance of chickens, while Mahkorn remained skeptical. Jurken was not in attendance.

Another new fitness trend is spreading to Brookfield.
In early May, The Barre Code will be opening at Harvard Square, 18000 W. Bluemound Road. It will be the second location for franchise owner and instructor Betsy Wong.
"I have a franchise in the Third Ward already that has been operating since December of 2013," Wong said. "We have a gotten a lot of interest from people in Wauwatosa, Brookfield, Elm Grove and Waukesha, but they are only able to come sporadically because it's a bit of a drive."
Wong, a Wauwatosa native, believes that Brookfield will provide a good central location for clientele in western Milwaukee County and Waukesha County.
As for the fitness routine itself, Wong says that Barre has been around for 7 - 10 years but has only recently been gaining steam in the Midwest.
» Read Full ArticleDevelopers looking to start on Corners parking structure early
The trio of developers involved with The Corners are attempting to accellerate the progress of the development.
At Monday night's Town of Brookfield Plan Commission meeting, officials discussed a request by Bradford Real Estate Companies to allow for work on the development's underground parking structure to begin sooner.
Officials cited the need to provide Bradford, IM Properties, and the Marcus Corporation with as large of a time window as possible to work on the structure before winter.
The Plan Commission made recommendations to the Town Board in regard to early start approval for the parking structure as well as for a certified survey map.
County planning work on Brookfield intersection
Waukesha County briefed residents of Brookfield on a plan last week that will involve a number of improvements to the intersection of Pilgrim Road and Burleigh Road.
Pilgrim, also known as County Highway YY will see a number of changes next summer in order to make it both safer and more convenient for commuters.
The improvements will include leveling out the area to improve visibility for drivers, installing and widening turn lanes, and replacing the existing traffic signal with a newer one.
The project is expected to take place throughout the summer of 2016.
Elmbrook Humane Society receives threats to burn down building
City of Brookfield Police have increased their patrols around the Elmbrook Humane Society in recent weeks after the shelter received threats via social media to burn the building down.
In late-March, Elmbrook Humane Society euthanized a dog that had been a resident for 15 months. Elmbrook Executive Director Heather Gehrke says that the animal had had four instances in the past in which the dog had caused injury; however, Elmbrook personnel felt that the incidents were not necessarily aggressive or intended to be vicious.
"The county last year did, after the fourth incident, label him a vicious dog. We appealed it, we reached a settlement, and they repealed it," Gehrke said.
But last month the dog was involved in additional bite incidents that required medical attention, and the decision was made that the dog was not a candidate for placement.
Elmbrook Humane Society is the only no-kill shelter in Waukesha County; however, Gehrke notes that being labeled as no-kill shelter does not actually mean that an animal shelter will never, under any circumstances, euthanize an animal.
» Read Full ArticleBrookfield feels sting of tax fraud
Residents of the city of Brookfield have been reporting in droves that they are struggling to get their tax returns this season.
And no, it's not because they're having trouble filing them or figuring out what they quality for. It's because someone else has already filed for them.
So far this tax season, Brookfield Police estimate that they have received at least 60 complaints from residents who say that while attempting to file their taxes they were notified that someone else had already stolen their identity and done so.
Brookfield Police Capt. Phil Horter says that this is by far the worst season he can remember for this type of crime.
"I think one of the contributing factors is probably the increase in identity theft in the last couple of years," Horter said. "There's been some very large breaches of personal information, and some of those breaches may be responsible for the amount of personal information that is illegally available."
» Read Full ArticleBus shelters coming to Bluemound Road in Brookfield
Commuters using public transportation in the city of Brookfield will soon have at least somewhat more hospitable conditions while they wait for their buses.
Clear Channel Outdoor and the Waukesha County Transit system are planning to install six shelters along the Bluemound Road corridor this summer.
Clear Channel has relationships with both the Waukesha County Transit System and the Milwaukee County Transit System which has the company front the cost for the shelters in exchange for being allowed to sell advertising space on one side wall of the structure.
It is that deal that brought the topic before the Brookfield plan commission Monday night, as the city does not allow off-site advertising.
Waukesha County Director of Public Works Allison Bussler sent a letter to commissioners requesting that they approve the exception to that rule in order to allow the shelters to be built.

Join the Expose & Expunge CampaignDisclose and purge data collected throughillegal domestic spying and surveillanceSign the Letter
The IndictBushNow movement would like to invite you to join a campaign to oppose domestic spying, mass surveillance and data collection on the people of the United States. Bush and Cheney's secret spying program broke the law. This has been admitted and some of those programs were suspended. This new national campaign insists that the data that was collected on millions of people through these illegal spying operations should not be retained by the government.This new nation-wide effort is called Expose & Expunge. It was initiated by the public interest legal organization, Partnership for Civil Justice Fund.The national Expose and Expunge campaign has launched a sign-on letter that all can participate in. The initial signers, including former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, have come together to take a stand against these continuing violations of fundamental rights. The initial signers represent a broad and diverse cross-section of leaders, human rights advocates, attorneys and legal scholars (see the initial list of signers). Please join this urgently needed campaign, sign the letter, and forward it widely to friends and family members. If we all work together we can succeed in defending and advancing our basic rights.
Sign-On Letter for the Expose & Expunge CampaignDisclose and purge data collected through illegal domestic spying and surveillance programsSign the Letter
We the undersigned call on the Obama Administration and Congress to immediately begin identifying and expunging from all government databases the massive accumulation of information collected by the Bush administration's illegal domestic spying operations on millions of people who broke no law. Some of these illegal spying programs were suspended and yet the government maintains the illegally collected data. These databases should be expunged. We also oppose the continuation of other programs initiated during the Bush era which continue on in wholesale data collection and mass surveillance, unchecked and unabated. For instance, federal agents, local law enforcement and U.S. military personnel, with input from private right-wing political groups, continue to collect and report surveillance data, including fabricated disinformation, to the 72 government Fusion Centers around the United States. Fusion Centers have been found to target political, student, and religious organizations and activities. The people of the United States have a legal right to be free from government surveillance, the type of which was initiated by the Bush administration on an enormous scale. Using the Sept. 11 attacks as a pretext, the Bush White House permitted the FBI, the National Security Agency, the CIA, Pentagon and other law-enforcement and military agencies to conduct unprecedented data collection against the people. Thousands have been targeted because of their political beliefs and activities, their religious beliefs, their race and ethnicity, or because they inadvertently fell into one of the many broad categories to justify and execute the sweeping data collection programs. This is the modern-day variant of the discredited witch-hunts of the 1950s. We call on the Obama Administration and Congress to order a complete audit of law-enforcement and military data and record-keeping systems and to disclose to the public the scope and parameters of data-collection on people and organizations in the United States. The people's rights protected under the Constitution are fundamentally diminished unless these illegal operations are halted and the rights of all people are restored by the identification of data collection programs, and the expunging of those databases.

Looking for In-wall Speakers?
Start shoppingVideo: Artison In-wall Speakers
Artison's in-wall LCR speakers deliver the front left and right channels, and also have dedicated built-in center channel drivers.
Steve: Hi, I'm Steve.
Tara: And I'm Tara, and we're here in the Crutchfield video studio to talk about Artison in-wall speakers. Now, Artison has a reputation for producing audiophile-quality sound from really unobtrusive speakers.
Steve: Yep. And these speakers use a lot of the same technology as Artison's acclaimed LCR flat-panel speakers, and those mount to the sides of your TV, but these are specifically designed for in-wall mounting.
Tara: Right. And we've seen a lot of different types of in-wall speakers before, but we knew these were special when we took them out of the box. The first thing we noticed was their built-in enclosure. Now, most in-wall speakers are open in the back so they create a cabinet within your wall and that means that the sound can differ depending on the materials that are in your wall.
Steve: Yeah, it can be kind of hit or miss because you don't necessarily know how wide your studs are going to be spaced or how deep the wall is, and it also makes a difference whether or not there's insulation in the wall.
Tara: Right. But with a built-in enclosure you're going to get really consistent sound no matter where, or what you're walls are made of, and they're ported for really good bass response.
Steve: Artison takes a really clever and unique approach to solving the common problem of ,"Where do I put my center channel speaker?"
Tara: Right. And this can be particularly tricky with an in-wall installation. Installing an in-wall center channel can sometimes force you to cut into a stud.
Steve: Yeah, you don't want to do that if you can avoid it. And Artison's solution is what they call the DualMono® center design, and that means that both your front left and right speakers also produce center channel information. So it sounds like the sound is coming straight out of the screen, rather than above or below the screen like with typical installations.
Tara: And this really simplifies installation too. You'll install two speakers instead of three, and just run an extra set of wires to each speaker for the center channel info.
Steve: Artison makes three different models of in-wall speakers, and they all sound great, but there are just some differences in the components that are used.
Tara: And they all feature seriously solid components. In fact, each of the speakers is pretty heavy. You might want an extra set of hands to help out during installation.
Steve: Yep. And what we have here is the top of the line model, and it's called the Masterpiece. And that's what we have mounted in this wall behind us, and that's the way all of these speakers mount — vertically. Now the Masterpiece has two 5-1/4" Kevlar woofers for rich, smooth mids and mid-bass.
Tara: And two 1" tweeters that give you really clear highs. They're also adjustable so you can aim them precisely to get the best sound for your room.
Steve: Then next in line is the Portrait, and that has two 4-1/2" Kevlar woofers and then also two tweeters, but those tweeters are not adjustable.
Tara: And Artison's entry-level speaker is called the Sketch. The Sketch features two tweeters and two 4-1/2" polypropylene woofers. These models take care of your front sound stage. To round out the system Artison makes matching surround speakers and subwoofers, including in-wall models.
Steve: And all of Artison's subwoofers include a special anti-vibration technology. And we actually saw that demonstrated and it's amazingly effective. It really cuts down on vibrations, and that's especially great for in-wall installation because you don't want the subwoofer shaking your walls.
Tara: To learn more about these speakers visit crutchfield.com/ArtisonInWall.
Steve: Or you can always call us at 1-800-555-9408.

Brewers look to complete sweep of Cubs
No one has to look deep into the Cubs' stats so far this season to get a sense of what their Achilles' heel has been.
The team is batting just .148 (17-for-115) with runners in scoring position, the lowest average in the Majors. In the last three games alone, Chicago is just 3-for-26 with runners in scoring position.
"It's a small sample at this point in the season, but the one thing besides some mistakes we're making in the field is it's holding us back from breaking games open and taking leads," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "We just can't seem to get going with men in scoring position."
The Cubs will try and reverse course on Sunday as the team looks to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Brewers.
Scott Feldman will make his third start for the Cubs this season as he continues to fight through stiffness in his back.
The right-hander took his second straight loss on April 11 against the Giants, allowing six runs, two earned, on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Meanwhile, right-hander Wily Peralta gets the nod for Milwaukee, still looking for his first win of the season as the Brewers go for their seventh straight win.
While the Brewers believe Peralta has an incredible upside, he's been fairly inconsistent this season. Trying to figure out a solution, the team will pair Peralta with backup catcher Martin Maldonado on Sunday. Maldonado is a fellow Spanish speaker who played with Peralta all through the Minors.
"I did a lot of thinking about it," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "That doesn't mean that [regular catcher Jonathan Lucroy] can't handle him, but what it means is you've got a couple guys that are friends, they talk all the time, the language, and I think their personalities. 'Maldy' is maybe a nice fit to get Peralta back pitching well."
The right-hander went just four innings in his last start against the Giants, allowing six runs on seven hits for the no-decision.
Cubs: Gregg hoping adjustments work
• Friday marked Kevin Gregg's first game action since March 30 and his first big league game since last September. The Cubs reliever gave up an infield single and then walked Ryan Braun before he was pulled.
After posting a 4.95 ERA in 40 games with the Orioles last season, Gregg started tweaking his mechanics this offseason before he was released by the Dodgers at the end of Spring Training.
"When I went in and got there, they said, 'Hey, we have some things we want to work on,' and a lot of it was similar to what I had done in the offseason," said Gregg.
Those changes include being in a better position on the mound and adjusting his hands.
Brewers: Aramis targets next homestand for return
• While he continues to play it safe, third baseman Aramis Ramirez is targeting the team's next homestand for his return from a left knee sprain.
Ramirez took soft toss and hit off a tee Friday for the third time since he sprained his left knee on April 5. He has also been playing catch on the field, and on the Brewers' upcoming West Coast road trip, will try running the bases for the first time.
"That's what I'm shooting for," Ramirez said. "I don't know if it will be in the Pirates series, that may be pushing it. But next homestand. That's what I'm looking at. I'm making strides."
Worth Noting
• The Brewers are a Major League-best 112-61 at home since 2011.
• Since making his Major League debut on May 7, 2010 at the age of 20, Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro has recorded 550 hits, the most in the National League in that span.

I wanted to find a small camera that could be easily carried or stowed in my bag to take on a trip as my other cameras were large. The Olympus sounded good and had good reviews so I bought it. Glad I did! Despite being small it is easy to use and takes great photos.
I brought this camera for a cruise I was taking....im soooo glad I did! It takes beautiful quality shots. I took some shots from the tour bus and you would've never known we were moving at all!
I love this little camera. It takes great, sharp clear photos.
Love, Love, Love! Best little camera I have had in a long time
great camera. my wife loves it, she had another brand camera but never used it because there was always something that needed to be tweaked to get a good picture, even in auto-mode. I see that she is always using this Orange colored camera, she loves the orange coloer too!!
Great little camera for the money. Takes excellent pictures!
Love it! Really simple to use and a long battery life.
once I got the battery I ordered with the product it worked first time. still figuring out all the buttons and have to refer to manual for some things. I like that it will charge thru the USB cable while you are downing loading and editing pictures. It is fairly intuitive in operation, but some things require looking at the manual. Rich
Because of the unique case color, it'll be easy to locate. I know Olympus is a good quality product and so far it's working fine. Delivery was quick too. I though the price was good as well although I didn't really shop around much.

DAVID BERGELAND/Durango Herald
DAVID BERGELAND/Durango Herald
The Turtle Lake Refuge Cafe, a raw-food restaurant, serves edible weeds in a Third Avenue neighborhood where residents like to whack an invasive species called "commercial creep."
Lemonade dandelion ice cream, hollyhock burritos and wheatgrass shots are offered twice a week from the back patio of an East Third Avenue home built in 1892. Owners of the property called the Rocky Mountain Retreat "jumped through all the hoops" to get a compatible-use permit because the conversion of homes for commercial use in this historic neighborhood is often controversial.
The Boulevard Neighborhood Association has helped kill four proposals for bed-and-breakfasts on East Third Avenue since the mid-1980s. Most recently, it rallied opposition against allowing a 7,000-square foot, five-bedroom Victorian at 11th Street from becoming a B&B. It was the Jakway House's second attempt at getting permission for B&B status since 1992.
The mansion was built between 1884 and 1886. Keeping the surrounding neighborhood residential is key to preserving its landmark status as a historical district, said Maxine Peterson, a former mayor, but Jakway owner Carole Withers doesn't see it that way.
"There's a belief that a historic district prevents change," Withers said at a City Council meeting. "I disagree. I think historic districts are a useful tool for managing change in an increasingly complex reality."
B&Bs must be well-maintained to attract clientele. Because the caretaker and host would live in the B&B, "it's not a hotel, but someone's home," Withers said.
But city councilors were sympathetic to neighbors' arguments that allowing such a precedent would open the door for homes turning into offices for lawyers, dentists and real-estate firms. It would no longer be a neighborhood where kids went trick-or-treating or residents shoveled each other's sidewalks.
Councilor Sweetie Marbury said she saw the residential character of a historic district "melt away" in her hometown of Houston. She joined councilors Paul Broderick and Doug Lyon in opposing a conditional-use permit for the Jakway House in a 3-2 vote April 3. Former Mayor Christina Rinderle, whose father runs a B&B in southern Indiana, and Councilor Dick White, who said he likes staying at B&Bs, supported it.
Residents also had urged the council not to be persuaded by economic arguments.
"We cannot sacrifice the character of the neighborhood for economic gain. It's just not right," said Third Avenue resident Holly Jobson, whose house turns 100 this year.
The Jakway House, named after former resident Louis Jakway who owned a lumber mill, has been on the market for the last 10 years. Its asking price has dropped from $2 million to $925,000, said its real-estate agent, Judi Mora.
Despite its many amenities such as a wrap-around porch, a wood-paneled library, a wine cellar and fireplace, it's in danger of going into foreclosure because its enormous size and energy inefficiency has made it obsolete as a residential property, Mora said.
Because potential buyers have expressed interest in turning it into a B&B, the sellers wanted permission to market it as a potential B&B under a set of conditions outlined by the city.
Pat Blair, co-director of the Rocky Mountain Retreat on Third Avenue where the raw-food restaurant is located, believes in the principle of one home, one family but thinks the opposition to the Jakway B&B was shortsighted.
"What can you do with a big house?" Blair said. "Families can't afford it."
If no one can take care of it, then it becomes "an elephant, not a showpiece," Blair said.
Opponents raised all sorts of arguments, one neighbor feared the B&B guests would be voyeurs who would stare at sunbathers in their backyards.
But Mora noted that B&B guests are, on average, 50 years or older, well-educated visitors who like to walk or ride bicycles to shopping or restaurants. They're not the type to stay up all night, Mora said.
"They're not voyeurs," she said.
Supporters of the Jakway B&B argued that it would not be creating a precedent for more B&Bs on East Third Avenue because of the special circumstances of its location. The house is surrounded on four sides by public property. So City Attorney David Smith did not think future city councils would be obligated to approve other applications in the neighborhood.
As far as parking, Mora said a nearby site would handle overflow. In fact, she said it would be an improvement over the current situation where the 10 renters in the house "park anywhere and everywhere."
Greg Hoch, the city's chief planner, believes there are much bigger problems than commercial creep.
"It strikes me that amidst day care homes and centers, home occupations, vacation rentals, and, most importantly, absentee landlords, there is more than a hint of commercialization happening in virtually all our neighborhoods," Hoch said.
"The city receives way more complaints about rundown, overpopulated rental properties than from vacation rentals, home occupations, day cares, bed-and-breakfasts combined," he said.
East Third Avenue already has commercial properties such as Hood Mortuary, whose existence as a business precedes the city's zoning laws. A law office, an investment firm and La Plata County Democrats headquarters are located in a commercial zone of East Third Avenue at College Drive.
The raw-food restaurant was permitted under an exception that allows property to be used for charity, Hoch sad. The Turtle Lake Refuge is a not a commercial restaurant, and it does not charge customers. Instead, it accepts donations. Lunch is served only on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The house also is used for meditation, yoga and office space for small nonprofits.
"Our whole approach is to help the little guy," Blair said.
Gabriela Ranzi, a raw-food chef, is happy to educate the public about the nutritious benefits of wild edibles, a great "source of energy."
She wants to change the "consciousness around wild plants. They're here as gifts for us," Ranzi said.
But East Third Avenue residents remain vigilant at keeping commercial creep out of the historic neighborhood.
