"From Betty Crocker and posting for safekeeping. "These mounds of flavorful mashed sweet potatoes nicely accompany ham, turkey, and pork. They're even more impressive when piped into rosettes". Can be made unbaked up to 24 hours ahead. Think it might even be possible to freeze unbaked and use within a month, making it possible for empty nesters to enjoy again."

The subject of how to fund long-term care is hugely emotive and one of the great political hot potatoes. The major reason for the apathy emanating from the population is the fact that there is no clear guidance from the Government, which leads the vast majority to sit and hope that the Government will pay for us all.
The Dilnot Commission no doubt provided interesting food for thought when it presented its findings and thoughts on the potential road/s ahead. The overriding issue is the fact that with our ever-growing ageing population, definitive answers and solutions are needed now to address the issue of how the costs of care will be funded.
First, we know that the Government is not going to pay. However, reticence on the part of the state to provide straightforward answers with regard to the reality of where we and the state stand on funding has resulted in a population that sits hoping and believing that somehow the state will provide.
It is now the time for honesty and clarity on the matter and this is what is expected of the Dilnot Commission in the long term. The reality is that the majority are going to have to pay for their care.
Shock, horror, this is already the case but we do not want to believe it. We will all have to make a contribution to the cost of care. This is the only way that what is seen as "the burden" of the cost of care can be effectively paid for without it falling on tomorrow's workers, who are in reality financially broken.
Mirfin: 'The state's reticence to give answers to where we stand on funding has resulted in a population hoping that the state will provide'
What are the options for those who will have to find funding? There have historically been a range of insurance options available but these have dwindled over the years due to lack of take-up. However, with clearer Government policy on the horizon, they are expected to return. The problem is that many do not necessarily have accessible cash available to meet the costs, so property will play a major part in helping to meet the costs of care. Tens of thousands of homes are being sold each year to fund care but there is a major tide of change occurring which will restrict this option.
Increasingly, more recipients of care want to stay in their own homes rather than move into residential homes. Many will need to utilise the value in their homes to help meet the costs of care.
For those receiving care in their homes, the major route to freeing up finance will be equity release. Many self-funders in residential care do not necessarily begrudge paying for that care by whatever means possible because being empowered with the ability to pay for the right care is seen by many as the major factor that outweighs the cost.
The hope has to be that Dilnot's suggestions will be listened to by the Government and will finally empower the UK population to make decisions about their care and their finances rather than burying their heads in the sand and hoping that the state will provide.

Your Letter: A scare at the hospital -- on me, not her
Halloween is intended to bring a scare to individuals. Well, here's something that could be scary. Rapidly rising food prices. The fear? Many diet programs may be forced to "belly up."
Not long ago, while being admitted to the hospital, I had hoped to put a scare in one of the nurses, yet she in turn put a scare in me. Having already been dressed in my "open end" white gown and escorted to my hospital bed, she placed an identification bracelet on my wrist. As she walked away I inquired, "Why does this bracelet have the name Mrs. Johnson on it?"
"It better not," she exclaimed, "or you'll be receiving a hysterectomy in the morning!"
That'll put a scare in you, right? Halloween before it's time!

"It has been an amazing run. I am closing the chapter on my playing career in the sport of curling that has been so good to me," said Martin. "I can't wait for what lies ahead in my new role with Sportsnet as we work together to elevate the sport to new heights, inspiring our curling youth."

Secure the Clones
Exchanging mutable data objects with untrusted code is a delicate matter because of the risk of creating a data space that is accessible by an attacker. Consequently, secure programming guidelines for Java stress the importance of using defensive copying before accepting or handing out references to an internal mutable object. However, implementation of a copy method (like clone ()) is entirely left to the programmer. It may not provide a sufficiently deep copy of an object and is subject to overriding by a malicious sub-class. Currently no language-based mechanism supports secure object cloning. This paper proposes a type-based annotation system for de ning modular copy policies for class-based object-oriented programs. A copy policy speci es the maximally allowed sharing between an object and its clone.

BURST Rogue of the Shadows
Ugh... I'm starving...
Dusk rummaged through the bush, but alas, no more berries.
damn... Looks like it's off to town then...
Stuffing his hands in his pockets he took his leave from the forest.
"What a drag..."
Town was the last place he'd wanted to go. It looked like berries were out of the question, so what choice did he have? As he walked he felt that precious gem in his pocket bump his hand. Digging it out he held it up in the sunlight, gazing into it for a few moments.
Dusk felt bitter cold winds glide across his face, carrying small flakes of snow as they fell to the ground. Each footstep made a slight crunching sound. This sound was fairly quiet however, as Dusk (due to a mixture of being extremely lightweight from how little he eats, and the fact that he's trained himself to make little-to-no sound) was very light on his feet. A bit of snow landed on his nose, but he did nothing to wipe it off. He lifted his head slightly as he listened in on another, faster set of footsteps. They were approaching behind him, but he did not stray from his path. Soon the footsteps were following beside him. Dusk stopped, kneeling down and resting his hand between the Poochyena's ears, petting him gently.
"Do you remember my promise?"
The Poochyena sat down, tail flicking back and forth, barking a few times.
"Yes... I'll never let anyone take you from me... I wear it on my life."
Dusk blinked his eyes, and as quickly as it had appeared, the familiar world had vanished.
He just arrived at Oldale town when something caught his attention. A large shadow that covered the sun for a fraction of a second. He looked up to see a Braviary-- No, a BURST Braviary-- flying above.
S***... They've come looking for my BURST Heart... Like hell if I'll let that happen!
"Hige, it's time... Let's
Dusk grabbed the the Heart and pressed it between his hands, centered in his chest.
Dusk's roar echoed throughout the entire town, shouting at the top of his lungs. He felt the very blood of the Poochyena mixing with his own, his DNA fusing with that of the Pokemon's, and it's power surging and coursing through his veins. Dusk formed a gray-black tail, triangular dark ears, and black skin. The white of his eyes faded to yellow, and his gray eyes turned crimson red. His teeth sharpened, and his fangs grew slightly longer.
He growled as he looked up at the bird with fury in his eyes. Scanning his surroundings he spotted the tallest building in town, and began a full sprint directly at it.
he muttered, and his full-on sprint turned into a blinding speed-run. he reached the building and began to run directly up it. When he reached the top, he took a large leap, straight into the sky, and straight into the Braviary man. His intimidating appearance startled the bird, and he quickly fled, leaving Dusk's bite a miss. He spun slightly in the air, positioning himself just right for the fall. He landed with a thud, on one knee, and a fist thrust into the ground.
"That works... He'd better not come near me anytime soon..."
As it turns out, he had landed somewhat close to a Pokemon Battle. He placed his hands palm-to-palm over his chest, and, reversing the process, formed a shiny crimson gem between them. It was only then.... That his stomach growled.

The 5 Worst Christmas Specials of All Time [VIDEOS]
Prepare to be bombarded with various Christmas specials over the next few weeks, from classics like "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer" to a special just for daddy, "The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show". But what about those not so "classic" specials? The ones that were sooooo bad that they were permanently exiled to the island of misfit Christmas specials? All these specials get big lumps of coal for being terrible.
"We Wish You a Turtle Christmas"
Starring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles this Christmas special captured the hearts and minds of no one when it was released straight to video in 1994. This special has some of the worst Christmas songs I've ever heard!! Here is part I of the special, links to part II and III are below.
He-Man & She-Ra Christmas Special
From 1985 comes the Christmas special form the Master of The Universe himself, He-Man and his Skeletor fighting sister She-Ra. Apparently the demand was so great for this special that is was released on DVD in 2005, don't waste your money, here's the whole special, enjoy.
Pee-Wee's Christmas Special
Pee-Wee ruled the late 80's and so there was bound to be a Christmas special starring the grey suited man-child. Airing in 1988, "Pee-Wee's Christmas Special" featured celebrity guests Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Little Richard, Cher, Magic Johnson and more. This copy of the special on YouTube even includes the original commercials that aired with the special.
Alf's Special Christmas
Even our favorite TV alien life form had his own Christmas special, from 1987 I give you, "Alf's Special Christmas". The only thing special about this is when the final credits roll. Enjoy the Christmas adventures of ALF and the Tanner family, can you make it all the way through?
The Star Wars Holiday Special
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but it's not hard for me to make this the worst Christmas special of ALL TIME!! Airing in 1978, this was more than just your average half hour or hour seasonal TV special, this was a 2 hour epic steamy pile during primetime TV. Even Star Wars creator George Lucas once said about the special "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it."

Estimating appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals for food fortification programmes
A WHO modeling software program
22 July 2009, Geneva, Switzerland
In order to facilitate use of methodology described in the 2006 WHO/FAO Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients for determining the appropriate level of micronutrients to add to a food vehicle, WHO is working in collaboration with the University of Hawaii, Iowa State University, and the USDA ARS Western Human Nutrition Research Center to develop a software tool to aid public health managers in calculating the optimal level of additional micronutrients in a user-friendly way, using locally available data.
The Department of Nutrition for Health and Development (NHD) will convene a meeting to present a draft the WHO software modeling program and solicit feedback from potential users.
The objectives of the meeting are:
- To present the WHO software program to estimate the level of food fortification with micronutrients
- To understand the synergies of this software tool with existing USAID Formulator program
- To solicit feedback on the software program from potential users

Finally, a genetics item that puts the brakes on some of the hype. Also: no genetics test will find a Marlboro logo. But that's the number one cause of preventable death in America..
Whole genome testing... how are we going to pay for this and the slew of tests it generates? Such a bad idea. Glad to see an article that shows some of the problems..
Stephen Sorsby, MD, MHA, FAAFP
Human beings have hard-wired aversity to deviations from "normal". Even physicians and others who think scientifically have trouble overcoming the bias; how is the average layperson going to react to the knowledge that s/he has 100,000 genomic variants from "normal"? Additionally, in this presumably healthy population of volunteers, sequencing led to recommendations of multiple tests apiece. And folks want to blame Obamacare for driving up the price of health care?.
healthcare field
I know, it's bad enough already when the patient comes in well informed and hoping we can give them any useful recommendations or at least be knowledgeable about their condition. With information about their own genetic health tendencies like this, how can we begin to appear competent when most of us may at times feel it is nearly impossible in our hectic lives to stay on top of our respective journals. Who will be there to help the overburdened practitioner with such a paradigm shift such as this? So frustrating all the way around unless a program could possibly tie this new information to a patient's existing lab database. Will having this knowledge make the patient more proactive about adopting a healthier lifestyle to ward off possible tendencies to a disease process [''you've got the APOE genetic variant'']or will them having this knowledge make more trouble for us when we need to get that patient in and out with their needs met as quickly and efficiently as is feasible?.

Whole genome DNA sequencing almost entirely misses the epigenome. There's going to be a ton of hurt hidden in the epigenome and we'll need a way to find it and Illumina DNA sequencing isn't it..

LETTER: Flag theft is symbol of what's wrong with US
To the Editor:
To the thief who took my flag: I am a U.S. Air Force retiree and a card-carrying member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Air Force Sergeant's Association, the American Legion and the Disabled American Veterans.
You didn't just steal a "flag." You stole a symbol of America that I gave the majority of my life to defend. You stole a nation's symbol that represented all those who fought for, were wounded and/or disabled for and who lost their lives in all wars to make sure you could walk free on the streets of Mitchell today. I still honor our country and my fallen friends by displaying that symbol of freedom 24 hours a day. You on the other hand do not.
I'm guessing I have socks older than you and you really don't understand what you've done and what the word "honor" means. Your undisciplined actions are absolutely reprehensible and a symbol of what's gone wrong in this country today. You and a lot of other "youngsters" need a trip to the "woodshed" for a little education. I don't want my flag back; I want an apology.

(Changes source, adds analysts' comments and share movement)
Feb 20 (Reuters) - Analysts at Credit Suisse, Raymond James and Cantor Fitzgerald downgraded Internet protocol devices provider Veraz Networks Inc VRAZ.O citing the company's disappointing outlook for fiscal 2008.
Veraz shares fell nearly 38 percent to a new year-low of $3.04, a day after it forecast fiscal 2008 results significantly below Wall Street expectations.
Credit Suisse analyst Paul Silverstein, who downgraded the stock to "neutral" from "outperform," said while he viewed Veraz Networks' outlook as conservative, his original growth expectations for internet protocol and overall revenue appeared well out of reach.
Analyst Edward Jackson of Cantor said, "While we continue to project solid growth for the company's internet protocol products business, sales of these products have been below expectations for the past two quarters and thus our confidence relative to fiscal 2008 is reduced."
Jackson cut his view on the stock to "hold" from "buy."
For 2008, Veraz forecast earnings of 6 cents to 11 cents a share, on revenue of $132 million to $137 million. Analysts on average expected earnings of 27 cents a share, on revenue of $154.09 million, according to Reuters Estimates.
Raymond James analyst Todd Koffman lowered his rating on the stock to "market perform" from "outperform", saying the downgrade was based on concerns that the transition to internet protocol softswitch and gateways from legacy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) networks had stalled.
The company, based in San Jose, California, went public in April and competes with computer networking and telecom equipment makers like Sonus Networks Inc (SONS.O) and Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O).
Shares of the firm were trading down $1.71 at $3.19 in afternoon trade on Nasdaq. (Reporting by Tenzin Pema in Bangalore; Editing by Anupama Dwivedi)

In Search Of History: Navajo Code Talkers
In the 1940s, twenty-nine young men from government-run Navajo reservations bravely heeded the call of a nation, which once nearly wiped out their ancestors and the memory of their culture completely.
During the second world war, the United States and its allies were struggling to find a code by which to communicate across the Pacific Ocean - one that could not be broken by the Japanese enemy. The solution came in the form of the Navajo people, whose language was as elusive as it was complex. Through their incredible linguistic skills, the Allied were able to convey life-or-death information to one another - information that, in some cases, altered the very course of the war.
In this eye-opening documentary, renowned historians and several Navajo veterans relate how a mere handful of WWII marines devised the only unbreakable code in modern military history.

Besiktas plotting swoop for Arsenal and Chelsea target Arda Turan
Besiktas are attempting to lure Arsenal and Chelsea target Arda Turan back to Turkey.
The two London clubs have both been linked with moves for the £20million-rated Barcelona attacking midfielder.
But, according to Fanatik, they will face stiff competition from his homeland for his signature this summer with Besiktas lining up a move.
It has been suggested that the Black Eagles have already enquired about his availability and are hoping to complete a season-long loan deal for Turan.
That idea could appeal to Barca, who only landed the 29-year-old 12 months ago from Atletico Madrid.
Turan had to wait until January to make his debut due to the Spanish club's transfer ban and managed just nine starts in La Liga in the second half of last season.
It has been suggested that Barca could allow him to leave this summer but Turan is said to be happy at the Nou Camp and is willing to stay and fight for his place.
But that will not put Besiktas off bidding for the former Galatasaray ace as they strive to strengthen their squad during the summer.

" Brand: Dr Oetker's / Type: Baking Aids "
It's my dad's birthday soon, and we're all getting together for a bit of a gathering. We don't do it that often as we're all rather spread out from furthest south of Kent all the way up to Brum and beyond, and there's rather a lot of us now too with all the kids and extended family members etc. Anyhow, for the event I thought some cakes might be rather nice, so this morning in Tesco, I set about gathering the ingredients for a nice batch of individual cakes including those ingredients needed to make a butter icing and some decorations. Cakes aren't something I make that often, we're more a cookies or ice-cream sort of family really when it comes to sweet things, so I had to go and really look properly in the baking isle to see what was what.
One of the things I found (and added to my basket), was these jelly diamonds. I remember them from when I was a kid, and thought hey why not go retro. I bought smarties, hundreds and thousands, little silver balls, and these! Hey if you're gonna relive the past why not do it properly - I may have been inspired a little by having watched Heston Blumenthal doing a 70's style meal on TV last night a little too.
I'm not going to make my cakes yet, as the gathering is a few days away yet, but I have to say I have opened this tub just to reacquaint myself with these you know. After all, a cook has to know her ingredients ahem doesn't she! These really are terribly kitch... errr I mean retro. Little diamond shapes of gelatine covered in sugar. Actually, looking on the packet I see these have improved since I was a child, they're now free from artificial colours and flavours, they're suitable for vegetarians, and don't even contain any artificial sweeteners or preservatives either, so time has changed them a little.
To me they still taste the same. They have a similar consistency to jelly tots, although the flavours aren't quite as defined as jelly tots are (ooh I could have used those instead couldn't I - blast!). I'm sure there are specific flavours in there, but I don't think I can describe which fruits they're supposed to belong to exactly. The dark purpley red one is kind of blackcurrent/blackberry ish flavoured, the orange one is orangey the yellow one lemony, and then from there I get sort of lost as to what the rest are supposed to represent to be honest. The tub is 85g and cost me 79p, and it contains plenty of jelly diamonds to thoroughly decorate any large cake or batch of smaller ones, and still leave lots over, and I think for what you get and for the fun of the thing, that's a pretty good price really.
Overall do I recommend them. I suppose so yes, they're free from a lot of the nasties that come in many cake decorations, and they're quite nice tasting. They're suitable for everyone, and they're pretty to look at which is sort of the point when you're using them to decorate a cake. I think if you're looking to go posh then you're gonna be out of luck with these, they're not posh they're too kitch and childish really to ever be able to do posh even if you placed them in very fancy ways. (Thought: I wonder if you could make a pretend mosaic with them? Hmmm...). For what I want them for, they're perfect however, and I'm sure for kids parties or for baking with the kids they'd go down a storm too.

The Hand That Feeds: The Remixes
Invisible Records
Founded in the early 1980s by electronic innovator Martin Bowes, Attrition has always stood apart from its gloom-and-doom contemporaries. While dark, Attrition's music has always been geared for dance. Back in the day, dour goths had yet to realize that bands don't need guitars to be goth. Now heralded as one of the UK's original "darkwave" or "dark electronic" bands, Attrition recently jumped labels and released The Hand That Feeds, a remix album primed to slide into the dance and technorave scenes.
Darkwave was first dubbed in Germany, where goth and rivethead culture vultures maintained their distance. Darkwave was used to define those bands that seemed to borrow elements from both scenes. Even so, Attrition, often associated with UK contemporaries In the Nursery and the Legendary Pink Dots, never had the harshness of today's industrial bands. With a revolving set of collaborators, Attrition is probably the only electronic group to use a violist.
Attrition's work at times sounds like something a classical composer might have written had she the necessary tools. "Cold Genius," in fact, is a reworking of Henry Purcell's "What Power Art Thou," a famous baroque melody. The lyrics by poet John Dryden refer to the "cold genius" that rises from the dead. While the instrumentation is obviously different, with the tinky beats and sampled operatic vocals, the remix retains the majesty of an operetta. Despite its source, "Cold Genius" is an extremely danceable number. The remix by Mick Dabrowski emphasizes the organic feel of the song.

The Attrition remixes are, in part, a payback for Bowes, who has remixed songs for others. Over the years, he's just been collecting remixes. The Hand That Feeds features exclusive remixes from such noted electronic artists as Chris and Cosey, In the Nursery, New Mind, Dance or Die, Regenerator, Stromkern and Morbus Kitahara. Various techno and drum 'n' bass DJs also contribute.
Most of the remixers add beats and sampling, and extend the dance vibe. "I Am (Eternity)," last seen on the Etude album, in which Attrition transformed its e-songs into classical pieces, goes through a radical transfiguration. Here, after a classical-sounding intro, ex-Throbbing Gristle members Chris and Cosey rev it up, mixing the ethereal vocals with a techno beat. The string instrumentation is shortened and distorted into repeated beats.
Drum 'n' bass, another techno variation, takes center stage in Mark Crumby's remix of "The Second Hand." While the vocals and melodies are reduced to little snippets that appear every once in a while, this remix is easily the most addictive of the entire album.
That's just one of the reasons The Hand That Feeds could be the crossover album that Attrition craves. Not only do the remixes serve as an introduction to Attrition's most-loved singles, but they also satisfy Attrition fans eager for the next innovation.

Arête, (French: "ridge"), in geology, a sharp-crested serrate ridge separating the heads of opposing valleys (cirques) that formerly were occupied by Alpine glaciers. It has steep sides formed by the collapse of unsupported rock, undercut by continual freezing and thawing (glacial sapping; see cirque). Two opposing glaciers meeting at an arête will carve a low, smooth gap, or col. An arête may culminate in a high triangular peak or horn (such as the Matterhorn) formed by three or more glaciers eroding toward each other.

Wisconsin's drought is officially over; Supreme Court urged to review Act 10; smokes swiped from ATF warehouse, more state news
The U.S. Drought Monitor reports the recent rain and snow seen over much of Wisconsin has ended the state's drought.
The latest weekly update indicates less than 13 percent of Wisconsin is in drought, although 14 percent is rated abnormally dry.
More than 60 percent was in drought as this year started.
It's not all good. The heavy rainfall has been delaying the start of planting for some farmers. Farmland in southern Wisconsin is covered by several feet of water in some locations.
That area has received about 10 inches of rain over the past two weeks.
Appeals court urges Supremes to review Act 10
MADISON -- The 4th District Court of Appeals is urging the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take on challenge to the law which effectively did away with collective bargaining for most state employees.
The appeals court says the legal issues brought up by a challenge from two unions needs to be put to rest.
Unions which represent city of Milwaukee workers and Madison school teachers argue the law backed by Gov. Scott Walker is unconstitutional.
A Dane County judge agreed last year, but it isn't clear whether the ruling applies outside Milwaukee and Dane counties.
An effort by the Wisconsin Department of Justice to put the ruling on hold while the appeal plays out was rejected.
Joint Finance largely supportive of Walker's budget
MADISON -- The Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee has decided to bounce only a dozen of the 58 non-fiscal policy items in the governor's budget which have been pointed out by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
Since Democrats only occupy four of the 16 positions on the budget committee, their protests didn't get very far. The practice isn't unique to either Republican or Democratic governors.
Proposals allowed to stay in the budget plan include private school vouchers for special needs students and putting an end to residency requirements for workers in local governments.
Democrats were told they would have the opportunity to argue against the policy items they don't like as they come up during budget deliberations.
WDNR likely to lose 32 jobs
MADISON -- Budget negotiators at the Capitol have approved the elimination of 32 positions in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
West Bend Republican Senator Glenn Grothman proposed the cuts Thursday. He says the jobs have been open for at least a year, though his formal motion didn't limit the cuts to currently vacant positions.
Democrats on the Joint Finance Committee argued Grothman's proposal wasn't specific enough, failing to include information about the positions he had targeted.
Republicans answered that the positions were apparently not critical, since the DNR has been doing its work without filling them.
Grothman's proposal was approved on a 12-to 4 party-line vote.
ATF cache of smokes swiped from Milwaukee warehouse
MILWAUKEE -- Federal agents conducting a sting aimed at cigarette sellers were stung themselves in Milwaukee.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives has received a lot of unwelcome attention for a botched gun-buying sting, but a year before that federal agents made another expensive mistake. When an effort to target cigarette sellers who were cheating the government out of tax payments ended, more than $82,000 worth were left in a Milwaukee warehouse location.
When agents finally returned to pick up the merchandise, about $10,000 worth of cigarettes had been swiped.
The ATF has a history of losing property. A federal spokesperson says a review is being done and appropriate disciplinary measures will be considered.
Judiciary panel OKs law change affecting doctor-patient conversations
MADISON -- The Wisconsin Judiciary Assembly Committee has approved a change in a law which requires doctors to give patients information about alternative treatments.
The changing of one word in the law would relax the requirement. The measure would change the law from a "reasonable patient standard" to a "reasonable physician standard," when it comes to informed consent.
The change has the backing of many in the Wisconsin medical community, despite concerns some patients won't get helpful information they need.
The bill comes in reaction to a ruling by the Wisconsin Supreme Court
Researcher predicts 'Obamacare' will lead to consolidation but no cheaper health care
MADISON -- A researcher from Washington, D.C., says the Affordable Care Act seeks to improve the quality of care people get in this country.
James Reschovsky says that doesn't necessarily mean the costs will go down. Reschovsky is a senior fellow at the Central for Studying Health System Change.
He says the new federal health care reform law is pushing states to become more aggressive about finding their own solutions. He says that helps bring on improvements.
Speaking at a health care forum in Madison Thursday, he also said the reforms are leading to consolidation of health care providers. That change could be good or bad.
The intent of Thursday's discussion was to evaluate progress toward implementation of the new health care law backed by the White House.
Future use of old ammo plant acreage still fuzzy
BARABOO -- A dozen years ago plans for the abandoned Badger Army Ammunition Plant included using the land for conservation, education and agriculture, plus low-impact recreational activities like hiking and bird-watching.
Now, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says it has to weigh whether conditions have changed and the use of the approximate 7,200-acre site should change with them.
Petitions have been presented to the state agency bearing the signatures of hundreds of people opposed to changing the first approach. The DNR is going to offer three alternatives this summer, then hold open houses to see what the public wants.
The ATV Association is already asking the state to set aside 500 acres with 20 miles of trails for enthusiasts.
Inmate who beat female guard waives hearing
WAUSAU -- The 20-year old Marathon County Jail inmate who attacked two guards will have to face a trial.
Fredrick Morris made a court appearance Wednesday under heavy security, waiving his right to a preliminary hearing.
More than a dozen law enforcement officers were reportedly in the courtroom at the time, making sure Morris' appearance was a peaceful one.
He's accused of attacking two corrections officers at the jail last month.
Julie Christensen, 36, was knocked unconscious in the attack. She suffered serious injuries and remains in the intensive care unit of Aspirus Wausau Hospital.
Court: Killer was insane when he bludgeoned neighbor with crowbar
EAU CLAIRE -- He isn't going to prison, but a man accused of a fatal attack on his neighbor has been committed to a mental health institution for the rest of his life.
James Olson, 52, was found not guilty by reason of mental illness in the fatal attack on Paul Oberle. Olson used a crowbar to beat Oberle.
He had pleaded guilty to homicide charges in the case, admitting he attacked the victim when he returned home after working an overnight shift at an Eau Claire grocery store last June.
the victim's son found his father's body in the backyard of his home.
Five-day manhunt ends with sex offender's arrest
Registered sex offender Larry Arnold was finally found and arrested in a Washington County field Thursday morning.
Arnold had been the subject of a manhunt in eastern Wisconsin since last weekend. He was wanted on several warrants from Wood County and had failed to comply with the sex offender registry.
The search for Arnold had started last Saturday when he abandoned a car on a hiking trail near the Kettle Moraine State Forest.
Search efforts became more intense when authorities found out he had been breaking into homes. People living near Kewaskum were told to lock their doors last Wednesday.
Arnold could find himself facing additional charges for the break-ins.
Milwaukee claims innocence in deaths of three children
WEST ALLIS -- A 24-year-old whose children were unable to escape a house fire because she'd locked them in a bedroom, has entered a not guilty plea to charges of felony child neglect.
Three of her four children belonging to Angelica D. Belen died in a house fire earlier this month after she left them alone in a locked bedroom.
The West Allis woman said she had to do that because she couldn't get a babysitter and she had to go to work. Her five-year-old daughter and four-year-old twin sons died when the house caught on fire.
Belen also faces six misdemeanor charges in another case. She was accused of leaving the same twins and a one-year-old son unattended last month.
Belen is being held in the Milwaukee County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Child Sponsor
Review for Plan International USA, Inc., Warwick, RI, USA
I am not fully satisfied with my sponsorship with Plan USA. I began sponsoring just over a year ago. I also have sponsored with several other organizations and developed my own case study. There are others that I like more than this one.
I have been sponsoring for 1.5 years and I have received one communication from my child. I feel as though I am blindly sponsoring this child.
I know that most of the reason to sponsor a child is for what the organization has to offer, but I feel that there are other things that my child may need, and communicating with her sponsor is one of them that may encourage her not to marry at age 13 like her mother. She is about 10 years old already.
What I do like is that this is the only organization that I have found that sponsors children in China. Although, my child is not in China, I would like to sponsor a child in China in the future.

Review for Children International, Kansas City, MO, USA
I absolutely love Children International! I am currently a graduate student studying engineering and I still prefer to donate money when I do not have too much of my own. It is very rewarding and when I began sponsoring about 1.5 years ago, I chose several different organizations and Children International far exceeds any of the other organizations that I have encountered.
My relationship with my children that I sponsor is really developing and I truly feel like I know them in only one year. I plan to visit them once I finish school and the sponsorship blog site www.LiftOne.org is extraordinary. I spend a lot of time on this site reading letters from other sponsors and watching videos from their visits and pictures they have sent.
Children International is so incredible, that it is addicting. My sponsorship family grows and grows especially with the ease of group sponsorships where you have 12 sponsors so you each pay for one month a year. Without the assistance of all the sponsors on LiftOne, it would be too difficult to find 11 other sponsors for your group.
I cannot explain how amazing Children International is and also their staff every time I call or email is incredibly helpful.
I have not bee completely satisfied with the customer service of the other organizations either.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Through my sponsorship experience I can see the results of the positive impact that this program has on my sponsored children. They are inspired to learn and say it has a lot to do with me. One of them would like to be just like me, and I hope that is true as I am working on my Ph.D. I am willing to do whatever I can to assist her to obtain this goal.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
The only changes I would like to make would be to make the cost of multi-chiild sponsors a little less. I know it might sound silly, but if a person sponsors several children, like more than 5 or so, then I would like to see the cost reduced per child to $20 a month as opposed to $22.
Was your donation impactful?
How likely is it that you would recommend that a friend donate to this group?
How likely are you to donate to this group again?
What specific problem, purpose, priority, or project prompted your gift?
I like to inspire.
Why did you make your donation at this time?
I saw a late night television promo for another organization so I did my research.
What would you tell others about this organization?
It is amazing you absolutely have to join and also join www.LiftOne.org. Even if you feel you do not have enough money to sponsor a single child, I am sure you can afford a $22 a year donation as part of a group sponsorship.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Covariate Shocks and Rural Poverty in Burkina Faso
The civil war in Côte d'Ivoire has caused an increase in household size due to returnees and a decrease in remittance received in rural Burkina Faso. This paper, taking advantage of a rare dataset covering the covariate shocks caused by the Ivorian Crisis, examines empirically the impact of such shocks on households' welfare in rural Burkina Faso. It is found that the number of working-age returnees increases household cropped area: one working-age returnees increase 0.64 ha of cropped area and that the decrease of remittance from Côte d'Ivoire increases non-agricultural income: 1 FCFA reduction of remittance increases 0.78 FCFA of non-agricultural income. In spite of those coping behaviors, this paper demonstrates that the households do not fully smooth consumption against the reduction of remittance form Côte d'Ivoire. The impact is much larger for the asset-poor households than the asset-rich household, as expected. Female human capital, on the other hand, is found to enhance household expenditure per capita. Two-stage regression with non-agricultural income variable confirms the role of non-agricultural income in the reduction of poverty.

Political correctness against all values
Dear Editor:
I have never seen a definition of the term "political correctness," so I will offer one.
Liberal. Hypocritical. Immoral. Unethical. Anti-social. Anti-Christian. Illegal. Racist. Irresponsible. Insane. Creates social attitudes of entitlement and dependency. A double standard where right is wrong and wrong is right. Revisionist history. Denier of truth. Nation wrecker. Common sense, decency, dignity, integrity, and respect for self and others are not taught. Patriotism is illegal. Political correctness is against all the values that created our great nation and is out to destroy it.
Readers, please come to your senses and return our great nation to its strong founding values. Otherwise, courtesy of liberals, socialists, and political correctness, we will soon no longer exist!

My point isn't that Dwayne isn't clutch, because obviously he is. My point also isn't about LeBron being clutch or the best in the league, because obviously he is. Really what I'm saying is the LeBron haters are so ridiculous with their double standards it ain't even funny. I can't wait to hear/read about how Skip Baseless and his bandwagon of idiot followers twists this one or just blatantly pretends it didn't happen.

DIAMONDHEAD, Miss., Jan. 12 (UPI) -- The younger sister of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was arrested at a Mississippi methamphetamine lab Wednesday, authorities said.
Hancock County, Miss., investigators said Brandi Favre was among five people arrested inside a Diamondhead, Miss., condominium where meth allegedly was being produced, WLOX-TV, Biloxi, Miss., reported.
Police evacuated seven units at the condominium complex during the arrests.
Authorities said they had observed an alleged drug buy at a gas station and followed a suspect back to the site.
WLOX reported Brandi Favre and the other suspects were taken to Hancock Medical Center in Bay St. Louis, Miss., for decontamination before being transported to jail.
She was charged with shoplifting in 1999 and in 1996 with unlawful use of a weapon in connection with a drive-by shooting at a motel in Slidell, La., while she was a student at Southern Mississippi, the New York Daily News reported.
Those charges were stricken from her record after she completed a program in Louisiana, the newspaper said.
Brett Favre has indicated he will not return for another year in the NFL after completing a stellar 20-year career.

A gathering place for sports analysis and opinion with Seattle Times sports columnist Jerry Brewer.
Husky football review: Three likes and dislikes about Washington's performance against San Diego State
Photo credit: Jordan Stead/The Seattle Times
Josh Shirley and John Timu celebrate one of many encouraging plays for the Husky defense.
If you noticed, my assignment for Sunday's newspaper was to write an early column off the Washington-San Diego State game, which means I wrote a pre-game piece that required little revision once the game began. Basically, I was charged with writing around the event instead of writing off it. It's a pretty common role for one writer to be given when you have multiple reporters and columnists writing on a tight deadline for a regular-season game. And a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on a Saturday night is the tightest of deadlines because we have to get the Sunday paper out earlier.
So I focused on the adjustment to playing at CenturyLink full time this season while Husky Stadium is being renovated. Click here to read that column. Steve Kelley wrote a column on what happened during the game, and you can read his thoughts here.
But what did I think about the actual game?
Well, glad you asked.
Here are three likes and dislikes that I have a day after Washington's 21-12 victory over San Diego State.
Bad news first, so we can end on a positive note.
1. Keith Price took too many hits. Between the offensive line's struggles to protect the quarterback and Price's frustrating penchant for hold onto the ball too long, the junior quarterback was sacked three times and knocked down way too much. The Huskies don't want to see a repeat of Price's nagging leg injuries a year ago. It seemed like he was limping at times on Saturday night, but afterward he said he felt fine and none of the hits hurt him. He also called it one of the worst games he has ever played, even though his passing stats (25 of 35 for 222 yards, one touchdown, no turnovers) suggested he was just fine. But Price misfired on a few throws that he makes easily, and after taking what the defense gave him in the first half, he tried to do too much to help an offense that didn't score in the final three quarters. He'll need to be better, and he will be better. Coach Steve Sarkisian admitted to a poor game calling plays, too. Over the course of the season, Price and Sarkisian will be the least of the offense's concerns, but they'll need better O-line play to assist them. Just as concerning as the pass protection was the run blocking. The Huskies gained only 106 yards rushing and averaged 3.4 yards per carry against an opponent that they should've been more successful against in the run game. Were the injuries to running back Jesse Callier (knee) and tackle Ben Riva (fractured arm) that impactful? And if they were, what's that say about the depth on offense? Season openers are nothing if not inconclusive, so keep that mind. But the Huskies will need to improve tremendously this week just to be competitive against No. 3 LSU.
2. Tackling remains an issue on defense. New Washington defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox is a stickler for fundamentals, and even though the Huskies showed plenty of positives defensively (more on that later), Wilcox was very balanced in his assessment of the performance. He praised the effort and the ballhawking, but he noticed too many mistakes, and the Huskies continue to be an inconsistent tackling team. They made some nice open-field tackles, but then they failed to wrap up on easier plays. The performance of linebacker John Timu was pretty indicative of the D. He made six tackles and put himself in the proper position to make a lot of plays, but if he had tackled better, he would've had double-digit tackles and made an even greater impact.
3. The offense didn't score in the final 47 minutes of the game. The Huskies scored touchdowns on their first two drives, but that was it for the rest of the night. The defense accounted for the final points they would score as safety Will Shamburger recovered a fumble and ran it back for a 44-yard touchdown. If not for that defensive score, this game would've gotten really tense in the fourth quarter. As we said earlier, Sark admitted to poor play calling and took much of the blame for the offense's ineffectiveness. The players made some key mistakes, too. Bishop Sankey had a red-zone fumble that cost the Huskies at least a field goal. Price also took a sack for an 11-yard loss at the San Diego State 23-yard line that eliminated a good chance to score. A debatable pass interference penalty on wide receiver Kasen Williams also cost the Huskies a 39-yard touchdown. So, their offensive numbers could've looked much better. They were a few plays from scoring in the mid-30s at least. Still, they were far from sharp. The offense should only be a small concern until we see reason to fret more. Remember, the Huskies were outgained 504-250 by Eastern Washington last season, and the offense went on to have a great year. The Huskies gained 328 yards in this game, but only 108 of those came in the second half. Sark experimented for a while and then went into survival mode after it became apparent that the Huskies weren't on their game. After one week, the offense is in need to better O-line play, a run game and more explosive plays from skilled players not named Williams and Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
1. Wilcox's aggressive, opportunistic defense had a positive debut. The Huskies forced three turnovers, collected four sacks and scored a defensive touchdown. They were exceptional in the first half, allowing just 121 yards, but their flaws showed more in the second half, particularly when they allowed quarterback Ryan Katz to create havoc outside the pocket. Katz gained 65 of his 77 rushing yards in the second half. He and Walter Kazee (nine rushes for 86 yards) were the biggest factors in the Huskies allowing 199 rushing yards and five yards per rush. I looked at the defense this way: The Wilcox's scheme is intriguing, and when the Huskies executed well, you saw the potential for big things. The mechanics of how the Huskies operate within that scheme still needs major work, but you had to expect that. After last season's epic disappointment under former coordinator Nick Holt, change is refreshing. It was nice to see players such as Josh Shirley and Travis Feeney and Shaq Thompson flying around. Cornerback Tre Watson had a great interception. The pass defense was tremendous, allowing only 10 completions and 128 yards through the air. Most important, though, is this positive, which might get hidden among the displeasure with the offense: The offense didn't score in the final three quarters, but the defense held onto that lead. And it provided a cushion with Shamburger's fumble return. The defense needs plenty of work, but this was a positive first step. If not for a trick play (one in which officials probably shouldn't have allowed) accounting for a 47-yard San Diego State touchdown, the Huskies' defensive numbers would've been rather eye-popping. Still, the Huskies' effectiveness on D was the story of the game. "They won the game for us, quite honestly," Price said of the defense.
2. Sophomore stars Seferian-Jenkins and Williams truly looked like future NFL players. The highly-regarded duo combined for 15 catches and 157 yards and a touchdown, accounting for 60 percent of the Huskies' receptions and 71 percent of their receiving yards. They both have man-child elements to their game. ASJ shoved a 225-pound defender into the ground with a great stiff arm. Williams
is a terrific combination of physicality and grace as a wide receiver. The Huskies will need more receiving threats to develop around them, and even though Price targeted ASJ and Williams quite a bit, nine players still caught passes, including Kevin Smith, who returned from a knee injury and posted two receptions for 20 yards. James Johnson (wrist) is still out, and true freshmen Kendyl Taylor and Jaydon Mickens are listed as starters on the depth chart currently. (Mickens started opposite Williams against the Aztecs, but Taylor didn't because the Huskies opened with two tight ends.) The Huskies will rely on ASJ and Williams all season, but especially early, and Sarkisian will need to be clever in designing plays for them even while they're the focus of the defense. There will be challenges, but it's realistic to expect huge numbers from both players this season. They're just that good.
3. The Huskies started the game with impressive energy and execution. It doesn't excuse how blah they looked afterward, but Washington played a great first quarter. The defense was off the field after five plays to start the game, and Watson's interception and 34-yard return set up the Huskies' first touchdown of the game on a two-yard Sankey run. Then, the defense came right back and forced San Diego State to go three and out -- a huge, underrated key that sent Aztecs reeling. The offense followed with a nine-play, 62-yard touchdown drive, finishing it off with Price's eight-yard pass to Williams. That's the way a home team is supposed to come out and step on a team's neck. The Huskies never lost the early lead.
Overall assessment
It wasn't a feel-good opener. The Huskies left plenty of room for doubt. If San Diego State coach Rocky Long hadn't been gracious (or foolish?) enough to test some theories about two-point conversions over extra points and going for it on fourth down, the Huskies might've been in real trouble.
But while this victory lacked style points, it also possessed some good substance. You can call it winning ugly, or you can call it winning a defensive fight. The Huskies haven't won too many of those in recent years. The fact this defense held onto an early 14-0 lead for the entire game is a huge first step to start the season. Sure, it came against San Diego State, not Notre Dame, but the Huskies ranked 106th of 120 teams in the Fooball Bowl Subdivision in total defense a year ago. Progress, against any opponent, shouldn't be ignored.
A dynamic blowout victory in which the Huskies showed all of their promise would've been more uplifting, but in the previous two openers, Sark's teams failed to impress and still went to a bowl. The expectations are a little higher for this team, and there's ample reason to fear the upcoming game with LSU could be ugly. But most of the Huskies' problems are fixable, including the special teams concerns involving the kicking game. As long as the offensive line can keep Price healthy, the offense will get better in a hurry. The Huskies don't seem to have the tools to be good in the run game, but perhaps they can compensate with some more of what we saw in the first half: the quick-hitting, short passes that are esentialy a substitute for run plays. Perhaps they'll be able to pass to set up the run a little bit. It's not as ideal as having a power run game to set up play-action passes, but Chris Polk is in the NFL now, and a new way that fits this personnel must emerge. You should be confident that Sarkisian will figure it out.
The only question is whether he'll figure it out in time for the Huskies to survive a rugged early-season schedule. That challenge begins this week. Rapid improvement is a must.

Is Miley Cyrus sending a message to her father?
That appeared to be the case last night when the singer seemingly posted a bizarre tweet directed to her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, who recently filed for divorce (for the second time) from his wife of 19 years, Tish.
"@billyraycyrus since you won't reply to my texts I'll give you an hour tell the truth or I'll tell it for you," Miley tweeted last night (the tweet has since been deleted, but the New York Daily News snagged a screengrab).
The strange statement included a snapshot of the pop star posing with a woman, who has now been identified as Dylis Croman. She costarred in the Broadway play Chicago with Billy Ray.
While it's unclear whether the social media star's Twitter was hacked, Miley attempted to clarify the cryptic tweet, suggesting she wasn't the one who blasted the message out to over 12 million followers.
"Wtf? My twitter was just actin all types of cray!" she wrote last night, after deleting the odd photo.
Billy Ray and Tish both filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
A source tells E! News the last few weeks have been "tough" for Miley's mother.
Although the former Disney star stayed mum on social media, she claimed she was "fine" after the news broke.
On Monday, the former Disney star's parents were spotted seemingly tension-free, enjoying a family lunch with their 13-year-old daughter, Noah.

Knesset Committee Advances Plans to Transform Harish Into ultra-Orthodox City
Committee appointed to run the Katzir-Harish Local Council will remain in place for another two years, after elections set for next month were called off.
Plans to transform the lower Galilee city of Harish into a burgeoning ultra-Orthodox community are moving ahead, even as residents warn the move could create ethnic tension.
The committee appointed to run the Katzir-Harish Local Council, headed by Nissim Dahan of Shas, will remain in place for another two years, after elections set for next month were called off on Wednesday by the Knesset's Interior and Environment Committee.
The committee, headed by MK Amnon Cohen (Shas ) voted 7-4 to accept the request of Interior Minister Eli Yishai (Shas ), who sought to delay elections originally scheduled for January. Ministry representatives said they had not made any preparations for the elections.
This marked the third time the Knesset panel had agreed to extend Dahan's tenure. Dahan, a former health minister, has headed the Katzir-Harish council since 2007, after then Interior Minister Roni Bar-On dissolved the local council, which could not pass a budget.
Interior Ministry director-general Amram Kalaji explained that the request stemmed from a plan to expand Harish and transform it into a large ultra-Orthodox city. Kalaji said the plan represented a project of national scope and insisted that it was important to keep Dahan in place in order to advance the process.
Kalaji noted that there are concerns the expansion of Harish could be derailed by harsh objections from area residents.
Katzir-Harish, in the lower Galilee, now has about 1,200 families, most of whom are secular. They are fighting the plan - which has developed over the past three years - to transform Harish, which has plans for a city of 150,000 people, into a Haredi city.
The plan was promoted in an effort to meet the burgeoning Haredi community's demand for housing, since few young Haredi families can afford homes in any of the traditional Haredi enclaves.
The idea to develop Harish for Haredim came after the original plans for an open city at the site ostensibly failed to attract enough interest among developers. But local residents say the government has been frustrating contractors' efforts to buy land there.
Kibbutzim and Arab local councils in the area, along with environmental groups, are also fighting the plan, which they say will drastically change the pastoral character of the area and create ethnic tension.
The head of the Committee for Harish's Future, Hemy Bar-Or, said in response to the panel's decision that the residents plan to petition the High Court of Justice to enable the residents to hold democratic elections.
"The residents of Harish are turning into cannon fodder for the Haredi city," Bar-Or said.
