Sir.—In his presentation in the Journal (129:1313, 1975), Dr Schmitt reviews some patterns typically seen on the protocols of psychological tests, proposes that these patterns are ambiguous, and concludes that psychological testing is diagnostically worthless. For example, he states that
... verbal-performance discrepancies on intelligence tests have been touted as diagnostic of organicity and hence MBD. Less well known is the fact that these same abnormalities are equally characteristic of other groups of children, especially those with psychiatric disorders.
This is an oversimplification of the highly complex matter of scatter analysis. The use of scatter analysis to aid in diagnosing organicity involves a meticulous study of the subtle comparative relationships among the 12 subtests that comprise the Wechsler Verbal and Performance Scales. To neglect the intricacies of this delicate assessment and to subsume the innumerable permutations of subtest scatter under the rubric of "verbal-performance discrepancies" is to treat psychological testing

DeSean Jackson Knows Who His "Real Homies Are"
In an interview with DJ Skee, Jackson said that the funniest part about all of the hype surrounding him is that his teammates love him.
"...The people that really know me, they?re like ?Man where is all this coming from??? Jackson said, via Dan Steinberg of theWashington Post. ?I had teammates texting me and hitting me up, teammates that?s still on the Eagles right now, like ?What were they talking about you ain?t a team guy, you don?t get along with people in your locker room???Everybody in the locker room loved me, you feel me??
He went on to say that he "knows who his real homies are" and LeSean McCoy is one of them. He says that when you're in the NFL, many people are afraid to speak up because they are afraid to get cut.
It's because of that, Jackson salutes the players who stand up for what they believe in.
Unfortunately, his former Eagles teammates loved him, not coach Chip Kelly...

Stock Your Closet for the No-rules '90s: Bawdy Duds in Edible Colors, Stripes That Dazzle, Gym Shorts That Sparkle, Jewelry That Makes You Think, Shoes That Make You Happy and Kids' Clothes That Make You Bankrupt
Polar opposites, Isaac Mizrahi and Romeo Gigli lead a runway renaissance
Long or short? Fitted or full? Dressed up or down? Who cares? In the '90s those questions are as outmoded as the style dictums they recall. The first fashions for the new decade have strolled off the runway and into the stores, and already consumers from Paris to Pacific Palisades are registering the exciting—if unsettling—news: There are no rules anymore. One moment, clothes are stark and simple, the next, lavishly decorated. Now day is night, and night is day—with velvet adding verve to breakfast meetings, and sporty leggings giving dinner jackets a new kick. There's no method to the mania and no manual to get you through. "In the '90s," declares Norma Kamali, "trends won't exist as we know them. What makes for style? Humor, confidence and intelligence."
Welcome to the Age of Options. Fashion designers have declared a moratorium on "Think Pink" edicts. There is no universal hem length anymore. Everything is relative. The possibilities are endless. So, maybe it was easier in the '50s, when everyone had the same twinset and pearls. Even in the psychedelic '60s, blue jeans and beads offered the solace of a uniform. But by the time the '70s faded into the '80s, denim was part of the Ralph Lauren life-style, and there was a certain sameness to clothes everywhere. Power suits and Polo play clothes. Boring, boring, bor-ing.
In the fax-paced '90s, the distinguishing feature is personal style. "In the past we put together preconceived looks," says Sal Ruggiero, fashion director of Marshall Field stores. "Now the consumer is being forced to develop—and individualize—a sense of style."
Every era has its stylesetters, and in the last gasp of 1989 there was a historic split between youth and experience, as two young stars stole the limelight from the old guard. While Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld are still masters of the artful cut, Romeo Gigli, 40, was the talk of Paris. His sumptuously dour designs have ignited a controversy and spawned an international fashion cult. In New York, Isaac Mizrahi, 28, wowed 'em with a display of daring high spirits that hasn't been seen stateside in ages. Together they've brought fashion back to its roots—pure design. They are two for the future: imaginative, innovative and fearless. Visionaries who have common themes and uncommonly different approaches.
Call it a Madonna complex. Or clothes for the Ethereal Girl. But ROMEO GIGLI, high priest of the penitent look, has revolutionized fashion's shape and palette with his muted style. The fashion elite took one glance at his rounded, languid lines and were smitten. From his design base in Milan, Gigli, in effect, "got rid of shoulder pads around the world," says Susan Rolontz, editor of the Tobé Report, an influential industry newsletter. His soft statement cropped up in designer collections on both sides of the Atlantic, from Armani to Donna Karan.
Then he set off a craze for strange colors—ocher, mustard, mahogany—that has swept over everything from T-shirts to tube socks. Gigli's signature ethnic style is equally ubiquitous, from his sari-inspired wrapped dresses, Middle Eastern notched necklines, Bohemian beaded scarves, Oriental pointy-toed shoes and this year's long, long, glass earrings that look like small mobiles and, yes, are called shoulder dusters. The copies, the clones, the knockoffs and look-alikes are on every sales rack and Skinny back. Women wear his fashions from head to toe or collect the components piece by piece, pairing them with jeans and other outfits to get that Gigli look. "We sell Gigli clothes like popcorn," says Joan Weinstein of Ultimo in Chicago. That is mighty privileged popcorn—prices soar from for a jacket up to $32,000 for one ankle-sweeping velvet coat.
From the moment Gigli (pronounced JHEE-lee) first exhibited that brooding elegance in 1984, his stripped-down style became a magnet for both devoted fans and diehard critics. Gigli's dreamy dresses—shoulder-baring tunics that appear to bind the body and restrict the legs—strike many observers as more outlandish and antiwoman than inspirational. Detractors also find his lush silk evening clothes and hand-embroidered velvet jackets too costumey and otherworldly—especially the prices. But his devoted followers defend his extravagances as ahead of their time. "His clothes are really cerebral—it's like wine, you have to learn to appreciate it," argues Ruggiero of Marshall Field. "Gigli presents a lot of shock value to the average American woman, but he also provokes her thought process."
Gigli, for his part, seems unperturbed by all the fuss over his singular sensuality. Extremely private and retiring, the still boyish designer never appears onstage after his shows and rarely ventures out in public with his girlfriend of seven years, Carla Sozzani, 42, a former editor at Italian Vogue. In person he is as composed and dignified as his clothes, expounding his philosophy in a voice that is just above a whisper. "I hate to conform," he says simply. What does he hope his somber designs achieve? "I like to think that nobody is going to come up to a woman wearing one of my suits or blouses and chat her up inconsequentially." Not a chance.
Where Gigli's sense of style tends toward the spiritual, ISAAC MIZRAHI'S belongs to the here and now. He designs for the woman on the go who wants easy, efficient, elegant clothes. His bold silhouettes, bright separates and whimsical touches—who else could make the anorak the height of fashion?—have reinvigorated American sportswear. "He's loosened up fashion tremendously and influenced a whole coterie of young designers," says Lynn Manulis, president of the trend-setting Martha boutiques. "What defines a young look? Freedom of expression. For the designer and the woman who wears it. It's an attitude that's going to become universal."
Mizrahi's basic seasonless sportswear and tongue-in-chic symbolize the contrasts that constitute '90s style. "The future is about being very clean or eclectic," asserts the energetic designer, who grew up in Brooklyn in a "semi-Orthodox" Jewish family and got into fashion apprenticing for Perry Ellis and later Calvin Klein. "Fashion is always about glorifying the figure, but now it will be polarized: You will want it to be very simple or very decorated." Extremes are in, be it a sleek unitard by day and sheer chiffon after dark, or the other way around. Anything goes.
The whole notion of adornment is also changing. Jewelry is becoming more sculptural and less cluttered. Stow those rhinestones and ropes of pearls. Echoing the themes of Gigli and Mizrahi, designer ROBERT LEE MORRIS is leading the way with his simple shapes, silver icons and matte gold finishes. "What's important is purity of form over decorative surfaces," he explains. "Jewelry in the '90s has to have intelligence and content—a thought behind it. It has to be more than just a pretty bauble."
All fashion is moving into such uncharted frontiers. The hard, aggressive edge of the '80s is being replaced by a kinder, you-know-what slouch. Instead of handing down rules, the new decade will offer up themes: Femininity is in again, along with all the unisex Spandex. Simplicity serves, though not necessarily after dark. Change is being celebrated—if sometimes only for itself. But don't sweat it. Transitions are always difficult. Though the mixed messages might seem confusing, one fashion signal is coming through loud and clear: After a decade of taking our dressed-to-excess selves too seriously, it's time to relax, let our shirttails hang out and have a little fun. "Bawdiness," predicts Mizrahi. "It's coming back."

Same-day Digital Newspaper Publishing launched in Australia
Saturday September 13, 2003
A digital newspaper printing service that allows Australians to read newsprint versions of international publications at the same time they roll off the presses overseas was launched yesterday by the Premier of NSW, Mr Bob Carr.
"Newspapers that are written and laid up in London or New York or Paris can now be emailed to Australia and thanks to this breakthrough be printed here in real newsprint," Mr Carr said.
Surveys have shown that consumers prefer to read their news in newspapers rather than on-screen and print versions are usually 'Old news" before thay reach consumers by conventional means.
SecurityMail's new Digital Newspress 8000 printer can print up to 400 ready finished 48 page newspapers per hour. The newspaper is printed, cut, collected and folded to create a finished product without manual intervention.
"The Digital Newspaper Service is taking newspaper printing in to a new era by printing digitally on genuine newsprint so that the end result retains the look and feel of a real newspaper," said SecurityMail Managing Director, Mr Steve Sparkes.
The service will commence operations with The Guardian and the International Herald Tribune and other publications from the UK, USA and Europe will follow.

Other members of the all-star cast included Dennis Quaid, Gene Hackman, Mark Harmon, Michael Madsen, Joanna Going, Tom Sizemore, Bill Pullman, JoBeth Williams, and Mare Winningham.

As SeaWorld, a water park with underwater tunnels and lagoons, prepares to open, a great white shark infiltrates the barrier, attacking and killing water skiers and park employees. Once the baby shark is captured, it becomes apparent that a much larger shark is present (The Mother).

Since the 3-D is ineffective in home viewing, the alternative title Jaws 3 is used for television broadcasts, VHS and DVD.The oldest son...,

£52m scheme rolls out even faster broadband
Published 29/07/2011
A broadband roll-out worth £52m has been completed on time and on budget.
The Next Generation Broadband Project involved the introduction of new technology to increase broadband speeds, primarily for businesses users, across Northern Ireland.
Over the past 18 months, the scheme has seen BT invest close to £30m, with a further £16.5m coming from the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment (DETI) and the EU, of which £10.5m was invested in rural areas and £6m in urban areas.
Around £1.5m has also been invested from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, attracting a further boost totalling £4m.
The contract with BT involved the deployment of fibre optic cable deeper into Northern Ireland's urban districts, towns, villages and countryside. Equipment was upgraded across 166 exchanges and new technology was introduced to increase broadband speeds to businesses.
Graham Sutherland, chief executive officer with BT Northern Ireland, said that by March 2012, at least 89% of all phone lines will be connected to a fibre-enabled street cabinet.
"This is exceptional progress, propelling Northern Ireland ahead of major European countries, and providing more and more consumers and businesses in rural and urban areas with access to high speed broadband services," he added.
"BT is proud to have played a key role in this landmark initiative, both in terms of investment and successful delivery, and are impressed by the strong demand and positive testimonials we have seen to date."
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said that use of these new services will help businesses and the economy.
Meanwhile, a new report has revealed average UK broadband speed has increased by 10% this year.
Research from communications regulator Ofcom showed an increase from 6.2Mbps in November/December 2010 to 6.8 in May this year. It also said superfast broadband is now available to most UK homes.

I suspect the idea of requiring license decals for teen drivers will go down as the single stupidest idea any New Jersey politician ever had.
Wait a minute. I take that back. These guys come up with so many stupid ideas at such a rapid rate that I could never make that claim in good faith.
Anyway, I have one teen daughter and four cars. Half of them are stick shifts, but my daughter Casey is the first driver in human history to take the wheel of a stick-shift car and drive it away as if it were an automatic.
Am I supposed to get decals for all four cars?
Here is a press release raising yet another objection to this extremely stupid law:
– Senator Tom Goodwin (R-14) announced that he will be introducing legislation that would remove the decal provision in Kyleigh's Law. The legislation would remove the requirement that all drivers under age 21 who hold provisional licenses would have to display a reflecting decal on each license plate of any motor vehicle they drive. Hamilton, NJ
"I understand the tragedy that prompted Kyleigh's law, but I am concerned that a well-intentioned response to that tragedy will put other teens at risk," stated Goodwin. "I continue to support the common-sense reforms to our graduated driver's license system that will make teen driving safer, such as the extended nighttime driving curfew and revised passenger restrictions in Kyleigh's Law."
Under the current law which went into effect on May 1st, a holder of a special learner's permit, examination permit and provisional driver's license would have to display the decal while driving. This legislation is sponsored in the Assembly by Assemblyman Robert Schroeder, Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk, and Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll.
"I worry that the decal requirement will turn our children into targets for criminals and predators," said Goodwin. "We want to make certain that our children drive safely while ensuring that the entire community is safe."

How's the U.S. JD? Can you see the recession where you are?
I met an American yesterday who comes from a farming region in the west and he said he couldn't see it at all when he was back there last month.
I'm sure it's very different in other areas though.
But, as with H1N1, the media isn't helping either.

Two shot outside nightclub in San Rafael
Two people are hospitalized this morning after a fight inside a San Rafael nightclub resulted in gunfire.
Swabbitt: Welfare and asylum recipients get $6,249 per year in food stamps (now called the SNAP program), $12,702 in housing subsidies, $11,302 as the cost of buying health care coverage comparable to Medicaid, $275 in heating assistance, $300 a year under the Emergency Food Assistance program (TEFAP), and $1,156 in food under the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program for pregnant women, new mothers and children up to age 5. The total -- $38,632 for a family of 4 -- is equivalent to what a single parent with two children would get to keep after taxes if the parent earned $43,330 a year, or $20.83 an hour for a 40-hour work week. So Hillary's program to bring in 700,000 Syrian refugees will cost us $7 BILLION a year and bring in at least 7,000 terrorists. Think about that on your way into work tomorrow and think about it again when you punch that "time clock" because if you think someone else is picking up that tab, … you're mistaken! TRUMP 2016 .

The Hudson School has announced its annual Spring Soire, an evening of dance and music that will celebrate the sounds, the style and the cocktails of the Roaring 20s, while also benefitting the school's scholarship fund.
Coined by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Jazz Age refers to the period (roughly 1918-1930) in which jazz's popularity spread enormously via the new medium of broadcast radio. In Echoes of the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald wrote, "It was an age of miracles, it was an age of art, it was an age of excess . . . "The Soire, hosted by the Parents' Association, is set for May 7, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at Chart House in Weehawken. The dinner dance, which is open to the public, will include a mock speakeasy bar, a vintage photo booth and a "live radio broadcast" of early 20th Century jazz music and dance.
Some of the best bands in the area will play at the Soire. Swingadelic, whose band members have played with the likes of Ray Charles, Count Basie and Art Blakey, is known as Hoboken's "little big band" with a sound that "encompasses New Orleans and swing jazz as well as their own variation on standard blues genre." Other performers include the New York jazz musicians of The Geoff Countryman Quartet. The group is led by sax player Geoff Countryman, who can be seen in Julie Taymor's "Across the Universe," and has performed regularly with The Saturday Night Live Band and with Chico Hamilton's "Euphoria."
The Emily Turonis Trio features Hudson School alumna and talented singer Emily Turonis, whose soulful voice is quickly gaining her a devoted following, particularly as a regular performer at The Hoboken Arts and Music Festival.
The Hudson School Choir, which has won state-wide accolades for its harmonies and musical wit, will perform its rendition of "Jump, Jive and Wail."
The evening will have two auctions, one live and one silent, during which diners can win tickets to Broadway plays and pro sports games as well as weekly stays at summer and winter vacation homes.
All the money raised during the Soire benefits the Hudson School's Scholarship Fund.
The event is open to the public. For more information and to purchase tickets or make a donation, go to the event webpage, the 2012 Spring Soiree at http://www.thehudsonschool.org or call (201) 659.8355.

Does anyone know of a Backup Exec Remote Agent
for UNIX (HP-UX 11.x) ?
The latest version that I have found is for HP-UX 10.20
and this was dated Feb 2002 which is quite recent.
Other versions of Unix included Solaris 8 and Linux 7.2
which are the latest versions of those products, so maybe
there isn't one for HP-UX 11?
It is possible that there's no demand because most HP
users use Omniback-II instead? (££££££s!)
I'll be grateful for any responses. I might try the HP-UX
10.20 agent out of interest just to see what happens.

New England style wedding venue
Ok, I will admit I have been thinking about a wedding venue…maybe just a thought or two. My general tendency to peruse other people's homes, coupled with a new awareness of wedding venues, led me to Foster House. Set in beautiful Kent, lies this New England style clapboard house that is used as a photography and films location, as well as a wedding venue. It's all so pretty that I wanted to show it to you today but I definitely won't be getting married here – far too expensive!
The ceremonies take place in the barn below…
I love the exterior of the main house; I've always been a big fan of new England clapboard houses with wrap around porches. The interior is typical of the style too – all white walls, scrubbed wooden floors and rustic furniture.
There is also an idyllic summer house on the grounds…
The search continues…

Stunning! In love with it Katy! Xxx
Is it possible to have a wedding here?! Outdoor ceremony and then reception in the barn? I'd love more information!!
Have you looked at the museum of Kent life they have some great vintage weddings and are great value.

great stuff, as always.
Reminds me of my days as a youngster, suggestively lapping my cream pop in front of my bald uncle, until I got to the sweet, sweet roofied center. I would drift peacefully asleep in the back of his windowless van… ah memories.
"Ah, the memories."

Bake Yummy Bread in Just One Hour!
Oh, yeah, you can make this bread in an hour — promise.
I was given the recipe of all recipes to make super fast, easy bread, and I can't wait to share it. This bread costs almost nothing, it's fun to bake, and so much healthier than the store-bought bread spiked with high-fructose syrup.
Forget expensive bread machines: all you need is flour, rapid rise yeast, water, salt, olive oil, and voila — bread!
Landon and I went to a "make minestrone and bread" playdate a couple weeks ago, and Brad taught us how to make this delicious bread.
Here you can see L helping me make it the first time at home.
This is a really fun activity to do with kids, just be prepared for a lot of flour on your floors.
Let your child help, measure, taste, mix, knead and shape the bread. L wanted to shape the dough into these little balls — and why not?
Fast & Easy Bread Ingredients:
- 3 cups flour (you can use whole wheat, but it's best to only substitute 1 cup with whole wheat)
- 2 tsp Rapid Rise yeast (jar of it in the baking isle)
- 1 tsp salt (fine sea salt is best)
- 1 cup warm water (I used a bit more)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Fast & Easy Bread Directions:
- Combine half of the flour and dry ingredients. Then mix in water and oil
- Mix in remaining flour
- Knead 10-15 minutes (I only did about 5)
- Shape as desired (round or long, 1 or 2 loaf) and let rest while preheating oven to 425 degrees
- Spray with water for crunchy crust and put into oven
- Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then rest of the time (about 10 min.) at 350
Warning: do not try Nutella on this.
Let me know what you think. Impress the family and bake this for a special occasion!
The bread is pretty dense, but I can't get over how easy and cheap it is to make your own bread. I can't wait to mess with the recipe a bit and add walnuts and raisins next.
I also got Brad's Easy Bread recipe (involves 4 hours of resting time) and will try that out and report back.
Happy baking!

Manchester United were handed a life line in a game that was slipping away from them by the man in the middle, England's best ref Howard Webb on Sunday. Of course, our left back didn't help matters by heading a simple clearance directly to Valencia but it was not a penalty kick.
All contact was made outside the box and the man with ego never even went to ask his assistant referee what he saw which is simply not what a good ref should do. I understand the argument that Masch perhaps should have gone, at a full speed, I thought the same but in watching the reply Carragher was clearly in the box so a yellow was the correct card but the penalty was harsh.
I had to wait 24 hours after watching Wigan v Liverpool to put "pen to paper". I have only ever walked out of a game once (and that only lasted two minutes before I came back in) -the game was an FA Cup match against Chelsea when we were winning 2-0 and lost 4-2. Our second half display was dreadful that day!
The Blackburn correspondent for this website chose to attack our manager in his write up, saying that he will leave us with this latest score of two red cards to five, however he overlooks the fact that two of his players should have seen red in that game.
Rafa doesn't mind a physical approach as long as it's played inside of the rules. Rafa can say whatever he wants about Allardyce and whiskey nose's insane comments after we played them off the park in last year's fixture.
I will leave him with the only the score that matters, Liverpool 2 Blackburn 1.
So nice to see Liverpool's number 9 back in action against Blackburn on Sunday. He was marvellous in the first half, tired in the second, but was still excellent overall. He just gives us a totally new dimension and we desperately need him to stay healthy in the run in.
Liverpool played very well at times but for some reason in the second half we just couldn't seem to get a hold of the ball and were guilty of giving the ball away up front. This allowed Blackburn to pump ball after ball into our box, and with the ref giving Reina almost zero protection it was a sound tactic.

Green-glazed water sprinkler
Koryo period, 1150-1200
Glazed stoneware with inlaid decoration
Museum no. C.743-1909
In Sanskrit, this type of water sprinkler is called a kundika. It was introduced to Korea for Buddhist purification ceremonies, but became more widely used.
The decorative willow trees and waterfowl were carved into the half-dry body and filled with two different compounds to create areas of white and black. The inlay technique was a Korean speciality, invented after 1100.

Veterans Group Asks West Point Not to Host Jerry Boykin
The veterans group VoteVets is asking the US Military Academy Chaplain's Office to disinvite retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin from their upcoming National Prayer Breakfast, Think Progress reports, noting the danger of endorsing Boykin's extreme views of Muslim Americans. Boykin earned a reprimand from President George W. Bush for making speeches while in uniform that depicted the US military as part of a religious war against Islam, and after leaving the military, has raised bizarre conspiracies about President Obama and called for the government to ban mosques and strip Muslims of their First Amendment rights.
Jon Soltz and Richard Allen Smith, veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, respectively, said that Boykin's "views are inconsistent with the values of the Army as an institution" and contradict "current Army doctrine" which "instructs Army leaders to respect the Muslim culture as a part of counterinsurgency operations." Soltz and Smith note that the military makes clear that anti-Muslim "remarks threaten our relationships with Muslims around the world, and thereby, our troops serving in harm's way," and having Boykin lead this event would not only damage the military but also show disrespect to Muslim American service members who "have fought and died in the uniform of the American Soldier in post-9/11 combat, as well as in previous eras":
These remarks are incompatible with the Army values, and a person who is incompatible with Army values should not address the cadets of the United States Military Academy. As has been articulated by GEN Petraeus, these remarks threaten our relationships with Muslims around the world, and thereby, our troops serving in harm's way. LTG Boykin's values are inconsistent even with current Army doctrine that is taught at the Joint Readiness Training Center, National Training Center and the Combined Arms Center which instructs Army leaders to respect the Muslim culture as a part of counterinsurgency operations. It is counterproductive for our future Army leaders to hear the views of LTG Boykin, a man who's views are inconsistent with the values of the Army as an institution.
Not to mention, many Muslim Americans have fought and died in the uniform of the American Soldier in post-9/11 combat, as well as in previous eras. To allow LTG Boykin to address the corps of cadets would be disrespectful to the Muslim cadets currently enrolled at West Point. It would be a slap to the face to Muslim Americans who have served their country, not to mention those who gave the fullest sacrifice for their nation and their comrades.
Sir, as Veterans, we have the utmost faith in your leadership. As Veterans of these wars and men who have served in combat alongside Muslim Americans, we respectfully request that you retract LTG Boykin's invite to the USMA Prayer Breakfast. The presence of LTG Boykin at West Point would violate Army Values, as well as potentially be used as propaganda by the enemy and endanger our troops in combat.

The Saukville Town Board got some homework from electors attending the April 19 annual meeting.
Town residents approved a motion made by Marvin Hoffmann to look into charging a service fee for fire protection on all tax-exempt land in the township.
At previous town meetings, Hoffmann noted the town has hundreds of acres of land owned by nonprofit entities — including Ozaukee County — that make no payments to support town services.
The most costly of those services, he noted, is the town's annual contract for fire protection.
Hoffmann said similar charges to nonprofit groups for fire protection have been successfully assessed elsewhere in the state.
"It has been tested in the courts. It might be a good thing for us," he said.
"I think it would go a long way in helping us as far as the town's financial woes go."
Town officials noted such a fire service charge would have to be based on assessed value, meaning the town would have to determine the value of all land not currently subject to property tax.
In addition to several county-owned parks, a quarry and an asphalt plant, tax-exempt land in the town is owned by Riveredge Nature Center, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Without saying he opposed the concept of looking into collecting fire service revenue, Supr. Mike Denzien said the town would have to move cautiously.
"We don't want to put the town at risk of a lawsuit," Denzien said of mandating a charge without careful legal review.
"It is going to cost us money to find out if this is workable."
Officials also stressed that looking into the concept does not bind the town to the policy, if they find out setting up a fire service charge would be too costly or the revenue stream would be insignificant.
Still, town residents at the annual meeting voted 9-2 to look into the possibility of establishing the charge.

THE low interest rate environment in South Africa has led to a rush out of cash investments to areas of the market that have the potential for higher returns but are riskier, new collective investment scheme statistics show.
Record net inflows into collective investments in the second half of last year occurred after the central bank cut interest rates and said rates were to remain low for some time, prompting investors to seek out higher returns.
After narrowly missing the R1-trillion assets under management mark in 2011, the local industry achieved R1.2-trillion at the end of 2012 after R104bn flowed in during the second half of the year.
Until then, inflows were at just R16bn, which CEO of the Association of Savings and Investment South Africa (Asisa), Leon Campher referred to during a briefing on Wednesday as "extremely weak".
These slow inflows occurred as investors continued their cautious "wait and see" approach due to the unpredictable market conditions. The lowest inflows in seven years — of R48bn — were recorded in 2011.
A major theme last year, however, was a further move away from money market funds as investors abandoned the perceived safety of their cash investments and sought out inflation beating alternatives.
"The big industry trend now is that more money is going into asset allocation funds and so the money market is a net loser. But it was pretty volatile over the full year," said Mr Campher, who a year ago had likened equity market conditions to a "theme park".
Asset allocation funds invest across the equity, bond, money and property markets and allow asset managers to decide how much to invest in each class. They remained more popular than domestic fixed interest money market funds for the second year in a row.
The industry enjoyed a net inflow of R120bn last year, but money market funds saw an outflow of R9.3bn.
Asset allocation attracted net inflows of R76bn and now has a 34% share of industry assets from 28% in 2011.
Mr Campher warned investors against totally ignoring less risky areas of the market, but conceded that South African investors had tended to be far more risk averse than global counterparts, who consistently preferred maximum exposure to equities.
Peter Dempsey, deputy CEO of Asisa, said South African investors had paid a high price for their caution over the past ten years. He said a R100,000 lump sum in the average domestic equity fund ten years ago would have grown by R435,483 over this period, while growth of only R116,894 would have been achieved if left in the average money market fund.
The equity index in South Africa has continued to make new highs in 2013 — above the 40,500 index mark — but these have largely been driven by a weak rand, with investors seeking rand hedge stocks and buying undervalued resources counters.

Debra McCrary, 37, of Monroe Township is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office for failure to appear in Superior Court on June 21, 2006 for a pre-arraignment interview on a shoplifting indictment.
McCrary -- whose last known address was on Janvier Road -- is five feet, three inches in height and weighs 140 pounds. She has black eyes, brown hair and a scar on her abdomen.
On March 15, 2006 in Washington Township, police officers were dispatched to a Wal-Mart store in response to a report of a shoplifting incident. Store management informed the officers that the defendant, a store sales employee, along with another employee, loaded two plasma televisions onto a cart on March 9, 2006. The two allegedly moved the televisions through the lawn and garden area and out of the store, without paying for the merchandise. The TVs were placed in a car and driven away. Debra McCrary was placed under arrest by the officers.
On June 7, 2006, a Gloucester County grand jury indicted the defendant on one count of shoplifting.
Anyone with information on McCrary's whereabouts should not attempt to apprehend her. Instead, contact the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at (856) 384-5644, -6544, -5646, or -5616.

Cruise ship ceremony unites couple
The Norwegian cruise ship, Spirit, at the Port of New Orleans, served as the setting on July 10, 2011, for a wedding ceremony uniting Constance Ann Culp and James Brian McCarty in marriage. The one o'clock, double-ring ceremony was officiated by Rev. Bob Patin.
The bride is the daughter of the late Gertrude Coignard Culp and William Schriever Culp, Sr. She received a master's degree in mathematics from Loyola University in New Orleans and is employed as a math instructor at Southwest Louisiana Community College in Lafayette.
The groom is the son of Marjorie Hains McCarty of Rayne and the late Lt. Col. Justin John McCarty. He is a Rayne High School graduate, attended UL-Lafayette, and is employed as chief surveyor for Geo Kinetics in Houston, Texas.
Escorted by her brother, William Culp, Jr., the bride wore a white, halter-style dress featuring tied-styled straps and a slight rushing effect from the middle of the loose-fitting bodice.
Serving as flower girl was the bride's eight-year-old daughter, Sarah Ann Culp, while ring bearer was William Culp Cagle, the bride's nine-year-old nephew.
Immediately following the wedding vows, guests enjoyed a reception on the cruise ship in honor of the couple.
Guests attended the special day from Rayne, Lafayette, Breaux Bridge, Metairie, Houston, Texas and Port St. Lucia, Fla.
Following a seven-day cruise in the Western Caribbean, the couple and her daughter, Sarah are residing in Lafayette.
