Sen. Neal Kedzie running for re-election
ELKHORN—State Sen. Neal Kedzie, R-Elkhorn, announced Thursday he is seeking re-election to the Wisconsin State Senate's 11th District seat.
Kedzie currently represents the district, which includes portions of Walworth, Rock, Jefferson, Waukesha, Kenosha and Racine counties.
Kedzie was elected to the state senate in 2002, then re-elected in 2006 and 2010. Before that he served three terms in the state Assembly as its 43rd District representative.
Kedzie's campaign will focus on his past achievements and the history made in the Senate in the past three years, according to a news release.
In the last session, taxes were reduced by more than $1 billion. In the last three years, taxes were reduced by more than $2 billion, according to the release.
Kedzie claims deficits and tax increases are in the past and Wisconsin is "leading the way to real government reform."
Kedzie's successes include tax relief, government reform, and balancing environmental and economic needs, according to the release.
"Great things can be accomplished for Wisconsin when we work with each other to find common ground on mutual goals; but it requires the strength and resolve of an experienced lawmaker in the Senate. I have that experience," Kedzie said in the release.
Declarations of candidacy are due to the Government Accountability Board by 5 p.m. Monday, June 2. No other candidates are listed on the Campaign Finance Information System website.
The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 4.�

Electronics manufacturing services opportunities in the medical industry
Post a comment
The pervasiveness of electronics in the medical industry is increasing rapidly. The use of wireless communications, robotics, and software in this sector is expected to grow rapidly in the next three to four years.
At the same time medical original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are under increasing pressure to restructure their growth strategies and product portfolios. Increasing demand for affordable medical devices, convergence of electronics, and rising cost pressures have helped bolster electronics manufacturing service (EMS) providers participation in the last few years.
Medical OEMs have the requisite knowledge of designing, marketing, and other core competencies. However, they require continuous investment to keep pace with advancing electronic content in medical devices and with manufacturing and quality tools. EMS providers have the ability to offer effective solutions to lower cost, while increasing quality, efficiency, value of innovation, time-to-market and supply chain management.
Market pulse
Increasing cost pressures and generating profits in low-to-medium volume manufacturing have been the prime drivers for OEM outsourcing. The affordable healthcare act and the excise tax that have come into effect in January 2013 are expected to be key drivers for short-term EMS growth. For EMS providers, this will pave the way for increased outsourcing to mitigate the impact of these additional cost burdens. Additionally, increasing electronic content within the medical industry has further bolstered EMS growth.
According to a soon-to-be-published Frost & Sullivan research, titled EMS Opportunities in the Medical Industry, the EMS medical market generated revenue of approximately $16.56 billion in 2012. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0 percent between 2012 and 2019. The industry is witnessing rapid growth and demand in the remote diagnostics, patient monitoring, cardiovascular, neurology, consumer medical products, single use products, and other medical products.
Note: All figures are rounded. The base year is 2012.
Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis.
Electronics and medical product design are becoming more technical, which will increase opportunities for value engineering. EMS providers are also adept at refreshing older designs and updating electronic design and content within an existing medical device design. This helps lower cost and obsolescence issues associated with long product lifecycles. These factors will further encourage OEM outsourcing.
There are other non-traditional avenues of growth in the medical industry. For example, traditionally, there are two types of outsourcing in the medical industry. One is related to EMS and the other related to medical grade plastics and single use devices. Currently, both markets are converging due to increasing overlap between the two areas of outsourcing. Not many EMS companies, though, have gone after the medical grade plastics, but this trend is expected to increase very gradually over the next ten years. Medical grade plastics and single use devices present a sizable market in terms of revenue opportunity.

John "Red" Ahern, Janesville, WI
May 20, 2014
John "Red" Ahern, also known as "Jack", passed from this earthly realm on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, into the arms of his loving wife, Donna Ahern, with his family at his side. Donna passed on just seven short months ago.
For all who knew Jack, it was apparent that in this life, there was only one "Red" Ahern. He hid his big heart with a gruff exterior and was a man with a Litany of one-liners for every occasion, and each encounter with friends and Loved ones. He fiercely defended those he loved, played hard, worked hard, and lived life to the fullest.
Jack was loved and will be sadly missed by his children: Kim (Mike) Newlin, Kathy (Jim) Marbry, both of Janesville, Kevin (Cheryl) Ahern, of Spencer, IA, Kristy (Jody) Tollefson, Kelly (Jerry) Graham, both of Janesville, and Keri (Jim) Badertscher, of Marshfield, WI; his step-sons, Mark (Kimberlee) Ludois, and Scott (Tammy) Ludois, both of Janesville; 21 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; his sister, Donna (Douglas) Ahern Watson of Hilton Head, SC; nieces; nephews; and friends, as well as his loving canine buddy, Katie. Besides his wife, Donna, he was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Ione Ahern; his sister, Ruth (Roy) Olson; and also by his canine companions, Ceaser and Gus.
A special thanks to his personal care workers, Sandy and Julie, and most of all to two very special nieces, Cindy Eagle and Wendy Klocke, who devoted much love and many hours of care over the last year. Without their love and support, Jack would not have been able to stay in his home the last seven months.
Memorial Services celebrating Jack's life will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 29, 2014 at the WHITCOMB-LYNCH FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, with Rev. Jerry Amstutz officiating. Friends may call on Thursday from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the FUNERAL HOME.
"Jack, you are finally free of that tired, broken body. Let your spirit soar and give'm hell in heaven buddy!" We share this saying in honor of your passing. It sounds as though it was written just for you!
We love and miss you so.
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting, Holy ****....what a hell of a ride!"

Deer crashes into Janesville church's basement
JANESVILLE—Rutting bucks crash through a window or two at this time each year in Wisconsin, but the deer that ended up in the basement of a Janesville church Sunday is one for the books.
The six-pointer apparently ran into the side of the building, stumbled and then leaned on a window that was close to the ground, said Andrew Moffitt, youth pastor at Bethel Baptist Church, 3300 Mount Zion Ave. on the city's east side.
The window gave way, and the deer fell into the basement, Moffitt said. He knows because he talked to a truck driver who braked as the deer crossed the street and saw what happened.
The window was about 2 feet high and 4 feet wide.
"We were surprised how he fit in there," Moffitt said.
The deer fell into the church's library. A father and his two daughters were checking out books at the time but quickly left and closed the door, Moffitt said.
The deer was spurting blood as it crashed into bookshelves, trying to climb into the ceiling tiles to escape, said Moffitt, who was among those in the upstairs offices who went to see what was going on.
"It really does look like a murder scene down there. It really was hurt pretty bad," Moffitt said.
Police were soon on the scene, and a veterinarian and someone with a tranquilizer-dart rifle were called.
The marksman darted the deer, shooting through the window, Moffitt said. That allowed veterinarian Julie Johnson to administer a dose that put it down for good.
It appeared the deer was too severely wounded to save, Moffitt said.
The entire ordeal took nearly two hours.
No one seems to know how the deer got to the church, but a city greenbelt is nearby, Moffitt said.
Moffitt said most of the books in the library are contaminated with blood and will have to be replaced. Police called the damage to the room "extensive."
All the other windows along that side of the building were classrooms, which still contained children as Sunday school was ending around 10:30 a.m., Moffitt said.
"Parents were picking up kids from Sunday school, teachers were in the classrooms. It could have been a lot worse, so we just praise God that it wasn't," Moffitt said.

Natural selection is proven wrong
Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
Fair enough, at least for now I think I'm done with this topic (about God) and ready to switch back to the original one (natural selection) - I think at least there we mostly agree with one another ;)
I admit I sometimes get a bit agitated with this God-stuff, but believe me or not I'm actually quite a tolerant person - actually my sister is a priest and I'm okay with that, and she doesn't even believe in evolution!
Once again I have to admire your patience and skill to produce a mature and reasonable answer on a topic as "hot" as religion - without going into personal insults and petty flaming. Especially when the opposing view is presented by such a sarcastic and cynical person as me (well, I'm not always like that!)
Amen! ;)
Oh goodness, you're encamped with the enemy!
Just kidding of course. Thanks for the compliments, and thanks for taking the time to listen to what I had to say. Very rare display of maturity, that is.
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
Hi Alex,
Just wanted you to know that Im not religious either in the sense that I do not follow traditions of men and dogmas of certain denominations. I do go to church, but I may not agree with everything the preacher says, especially if I find no basis for it in the word of God. I've had my share of church politics, hypocrites and self righteous people in my 47 years. But there is a pure faith and it found only in Christ.
Do you then believe in a creator Alex? If you don't mind me asking.
Are you deist--God wound up the clock and let it go--evolution works nicely with deism? Are you pantheist? God is everything and everything is God--I get the sense some evolutionists are neopantheist with the attitude that life will always find a way to create, so in a sense Life would be god. Or are you a Christian who believes in the gap theory or the day age theory?
By the way, you know that neither one of us, nor anyone else saw the Himalayas rise out of the ocean or saw how long they took to come up, so I guess we have to hold to our beliefs on that one. I know about plate tectonics. I guess if you assume that all natural processes have always proceeded at the same rate as today with little change or change in direction, then you could calculate the duration.
But I know there have been alot of catastrophes. I like the one where the scientist theorize that the dinosaurs were killed by an asteroid. And we know what evidence they have found also to come to this theory. Lots and lots of sediment put down very very quickly. Fossils only become fossils under sediment. Slow gradual build up of sediment like evolutionary geologists say will never make a dead organism a fossil--it will decay to elements.
And there are many animal graveyards that show that the animals were carried together--all different types--bones all mangled up and twisted--buried together! Well they have to assign something to these bones, so it was an asteroid. Or maybe...a flood? No! That's religion! But sir what if that's what happened--would it still be religion or the truth?
I mean does a scientist, even if hes gone to school for a hundred years, really know how much rubidium was already in these rocks he's dating when the rock was formed. Its supposed to have evaporated all out but what if all of it doesn't? Or does he know how much strontium has leaked out of the rock. It has not been in a lab, it has been in the elements for many years. What if a rock was formed 1000 years ago that had 1 lb of of strontium and 10 lbs of rubidium. Does that mean all the strontium has changed to rubidium. Maybe water has entered the rock to remove much strontium. This can by all means happen. This is why rocks of ages known less than a century have been dated to be millions of years old!
If you know the scriptures they show us we are in the last days before Christ's return, and before Him will come the antichrist. Thessalonians says the God shall send them strong delusion because men received not the love of the TRUTH. I do not say this in a hateful or judgmental way, but with a heart that is saddened by America's rejection of scripture. Jesus said if you continue in my word you shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall make you free. Jesus loves you!
P.S. You didn't answer my question about the antimatter of the big bang--whoever made it up is irrelevant--seems like alot of people liked the idea.
Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
AFJ, I'll hopefully find time to write a more detailed response this weekend; I'm afraid I'm still caught up in the middle of final exams. Sorry I forgot about your big bang question; I thought the answer was implied but I forgot to make it clear. I'm not really sure what happened before the big bang; there might have been something or there might have been nothing. Either way, I believe in a God who created the universe and everything in it. I'm Roman Catholic. That's why I felt my need to go into my history lesson about how it was the Catholic Church that was responsible for the big bang theory; I'm rather proud of that one!
Anyway, this is about all I have the mental energy for right now. I'll try to type some more later in the week or possibly over the weekend. Later!
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
Alex I am glad that you are not an atheist, at least you leave the possibility for a supreme being, and you seem like a pretty good guy. Feel free to share with me what you are learning, and I hope you will let me share with you some things also.
I was puzzled about the creation evolution issue in my younger years, because I was taught as a child to have a personal relationship with God and trust in the authority of the scriptures. Later I was introduced to the day age theories, and the gap theory which as you might know are a "marrying" of scripture and evolution. I was always jealous for the scripture though and I never accepted or rejected those theories--just shelved them.
I had seen God answer prayer--sometimes with no other natural explanation--in other words I had felt and seen God work personally, and so it was hard to understand why there was so much alleged evidence coming out showing an old earth and that life had evolved.
Then I was able to meet and listen to some scientists and medical doctors, some who had actually obtained their PhDs from Harvard. They saw all the evidence, and all had sat under evolutionary professors, some had believed it in earlier life, and some were converted at college. They amazingly had no problem with a young earth as the scripture accounts and a worldwide flood--they showed much of their own evidence and research to show this--AND showed how worldview (your view of your own existence, origin, and purpose in life) will ultimately affect the way one conducts science, as well as the interpretation of the hard evidence. As can be said "fossils will not talk to you."
Some modern scientists who have accepted the biblical account of creation. Im sure you can google these names to contact them if you need to verify. This of course would not count high school science teachers, or scientists of the past or just after Darwin's time. This is a list of modern day creationists--those who have "come out."

I was privileged to attend a Catholic high school, and during my time there I wrote a theology paper arguing that young-earth creationism is actually a heretical belief system without any sound basis in scripture; I was able to support this argument using scriptural and other evidence. Last semester, in a college-level English class, I wrote a paper arguing the American religious right, composed mostly of capitalists and war-hawks, is equally deceived and that a true Christian would be a socialist and a pacifist, and again I supported this with evidence from scripture. I'm not going to go into any detailed discussion on those points here, since this is supposed to be a science forum and we've had probably too much religious debate already; although if you'd like to pursue that conversation in a different venue, like e-mail, I'd be more than willing. I'm just mentioning it here as examples to hopefully encourage you to at least be open to the idea that the Bible might not necessarily say what you seem to be taking for granted it says.
Anyway, I owe you a more detailed description of radioisotope dating. I believe the question you asked was how one can know the original amounts of the isotopes in question. In short, the answer is that some isotopes of certain elements occur naturally, whereas others occur only as part of a decay process; this means that those that occur as part of a decay process can be indicated as having once been a different element, and thus how much of those there are can tell what the original amounts were.
I'll use the rubidium-strontium dating method as an example. The natural form of strontium is Sr86, but Rb87 decays to produce Sr87, and Sr87 is only produced as part of the decay process of Rb87. Because of this, if a geologist wanted to estimate the age of a rock, all he has to do is examine how much of each of these three isotopes occur in proportion to each other. The ratio of Rb87 and Sr87 to Sr86 can tell him what was the original ratio of Rb87 to Sr86, and the amount of Rb87 that has decayed to Sr87 allows him to approximate the age of the sample.
That's a good brief description and probably the best I'm going to do since I'm a biochemistry major and not a trained geologist, but you can find more info on the internet or, if you find time, a particularly good book I would recommend is Finding Darwin's God by Kenneth Miller, which is discusses this as well as other topics related to the issue. Also, here's a good article, not about isotope dating, but you might find it useful food for thought nonetheless:
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
How interesting Alex that you use scripture to "prove" that scripture is not literal. That a literal interpretation of it is heretical. How can you use scripture against scripture--either you have not read Genesis or you believe it is some kind of symbolic allegory. If such is the case then how do the scriptures you used in your paper have any authority as they may just be symbolic and not meaning what they seem to say.
And yet you believe wholeheartedly with millions of atheists, like Richard Dawkins, in evolution. Seems confusing to me. I also will not go into a detailed explanation for you are correct in saying this is a science forum. Email is fine.
I would like to say that most of the people on this forum are gracious, but I would ask for the liberty of speaking my opinion about supposedly deviating from the forum. First of all, the subject of evolution is about origins, and there are only two ways we got here--by completely natural forces working in our universe--or something or someone outside our universe. To expect that evolution is going to get a free ticket to the inner conviction of every person without question or contest is not realistic. Especially when their are(though they may be in the minority--a large minority nonetheless) many people who believe otherwise.
Secondly, evolution was brought to us to an unconverted man, Charles Darwin, and is followed by millions of atheists--even if it is held to by believers it is rudimentally atheistic. It's principles are independent of interaction with the Creator so He becomes irrelevant.
Thirdly, evolution flies not only in the face of the Creator but also in the face of one of the most universally observable principles in our world--namely that all designed objects have a designer. If I bring you a globe and tell you it formed itself you would laugh and then tell me that the earth we stand on is the result of chemical reactions, and physics. Can't buy it sorry. Logistically impossible-- and we can not account for all the forces that brought it together by the models offered by scientists. We can't even define a photon and we think we can understand how the world and the life on it was formed?
The crucial detail here is that this is a science forum and thus we are here to seek scientific explanations of natural phenomenon, not religious ones. Your religious beliefs are all well and good, but we live in a world full of thousands of different religions, each one claiming some sort of legitimacy, so unless you're able to back up your beliefs with scientific evidence then you have no more merit than the ancient Babylonians who thought the world sat on the back of a giant tortoise. There are plenty of religious discussion forums to debate varying forms of belief if that is your desire, but here it would be best to try to stick to science and leave the religious topic untouched. Sorry if I sound harsh but so far I haven't seen much in the way of real science in your posts, just religious doctrine.
I'll be the first to admit that science cannot explain everything, but the explanations it can offer are probably a lot more advanced than you seem to be giving them credit for, especially compared to young-earth creationist views that are mere fiction. Sorry to be harsh again, but there is much that young-earth types claim as truth that is blatantly false. After all, if the earth were only a few thousand years old, we shouldn't be able to see stars at night; and yet we do.
If you wish to pursue a religious/doctrinal discussion, feel free to drop me an e-mail:
[email protected]
If you wish to pursue a scientific debate, then I hope you don't mind if I take the liberty to suggest an opening question of discussion. Would you mind explaining to me how, if the earth is only a few thousand years old, we are able to see stars at night?

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
Good grief...
You make it sound like particle physics is something people do in kindergarten! A civilization that is even able to study photons with more precise methods than a lens and a prism is already an extremely advanced one. When you are as close to understanding the basic essence of matter that you can even try to define what a photon is you should also be well capable of contemplating on the origins of life.
And like I've said a thousand times, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it was just made by god. For Pete's sake, if we used such a method we'd be still in stone age, telling our children that lightning bolts are thrown at us by an angy god. With evolution it is exactly the same thing: you cannot figure out how life has originated, you use fairy tales to explain it. You guys are the ones who wanted to burn Galileo Galilei alive (or whatever it is you do with people who oppose your views) for suggesting that the Earth may actually revolve around the Sun, not the other way round.
You all probably know what happened next: Galileo was naturally wrong and his absurd, heretic theories about heliocentricism were just scientific theories, no match for the Holy Book, and the Earth naturally was and is the centre of all universe. Luckily nobody listened to the scientist and believed the holy men, because otherwise we'd believe in such an absurd concept as heliocentric world! Phew, that was close. Thank God and thank Christianity, once again they saved us from science!

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
Just flicked my eyes down the page and noticed...
Logistically impossible? There is a vast difference between logic and beliefs, i think you are getting them confused, the physics we have now can easily account for 99% of the processes which brought this rock into place, and that 1%? Well we have only been studying these processes for a few hundred years. And what do you mean we cant even define a photon, you speak of it as something simple, even so, its not that we cant define a photon its that it doesn't fit into our classification and a little time will fix that. Now, something that IS LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE is the world being created in six days by a being that is nothing and has existed as nothing for all eternity, what would be logically possible would be that someone a few thousand years ago thought very hard and concluded that energy (and therefore matter) cannot have existed for all eternity and that an invisible allpowerful spirit would seem a much more appropriate device for the explanation of existence.
A wise man once said to me:
"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Sugar Allergy
Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!
Moderator: BioTeam
Re: Sugar Allergy
I guess I have a food intolerance to cane sugar. If I eat too many cookies or chocolates or drink way too much pop (32ozer doesn't give me a problem by itself one day in a week), I get a nosebleed and a sometimes a rush. if I space things too close together, I have a problem. I was told by my mother that when a woman has had a baby, they check food allergies/whatever by taking the person off of the food for 2 weeks. so I guess once I have a problem with a nosebleed I should lay off things for at least 2 weeks for stuff to get out of my system.
most kinds of dark chocolate will cause me to immediately to sneeze at least once. if I eat too much milk chocolate, I have the same reaction. I guess the dark chocolate thing is bordering on an allergy.
I ate too much chocolate and candy as a kid (but not dark chocolate ). I figure now it has caught up to me.
as for an earlier comment about potatoes and wheat, I am told that it is not so much that they contain sugar, but that the body makes sugar out of them, and this is why diabetics try to stay away from them. but that's not my problem. I can eat wheat & potatoes & oranges.
Re: sugar allergy
'Dr' David Dahlman is no more qualified than my pet dog...
He is NOT a doctor...
He is NOT a scientist...
I don't even think he has a real science degree...
His 'qualifications'... tsk...
Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, Life University, Marietta, Georgia, December 1996
Doctor of Chiropractic, Life University, Marietta, Georgia, December 1996
It may have escaped your attention - it takes three and a half years to obtain a doctorate...
NO ONE CAN GRADUATE FROM UNIVERSITY WITH A BSc AND A PhD IN THE SAME MONTH!...
That is why I suspect this 'Life University' isn't a real university and that his BSc is fake... 'Life University' doesn't even sound like a real university...
It goes that says on it's profile that he Attended University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio... What on earth does that mean - did he dropo out of a real university after one week?...
Then it goes...
Granted Chiropractic Licensure, State of Ohio, License # 2437, February 26, 1997
Three months later?... with a fake degrees?... he was licenced chiropracter...?
Btw, this sounds just like 'Dr' Gillian McKeith...
For those of you that are unfortunate enough not to be English - you probably never heard of her...
But the annoying fake 'doctor' was a massive hit with the moronic public and she had her own lame TV series...
Anywayz, it turns out that her PhD was ordered online from a fake american university (just as this 'Dr' David Dahlman seems to be)...
This was all uncovered by the work of a genius (Ben Goldacre) who managed to order the same qualification for his dead cat...
It's a good read if you have time...
"CV. For example, she is proud to announce under "Professional Associations" that she is a certified member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants (AANC), which certainly sounds impressive. I bet you get a little certificate and everything.
· In fact, I know you get a certificate, because I'm holding it in my hand right now. It's in the name of my cat, Henrietta. I got it in return for $60, and it's a particular honour since dear, sweet, little Hettie died about a year ago. So, coming in a bit cheaper than Gillian's non-accredited correspondence course PhD and Masters degrees (although she will have got a discount from "Clayton College of Natural Health" if she ordered them both at once), it looks as if all you need to be a certified member of the AANC is a name, an address, and a spare $60. You don't need to be human. You don't even need to be alive. No exam. No check-up on your qualifications. And no assessment of your practice. I guess that could be embarrassing for some of their certified professional members. Presumably, the diploma is there to certify that you have $60."
"· But back to the money: if anybody wants nutritional advice from the decomposing corpse of my ex-cat, I shall be setting up a small shrine at the bottom of the garden, where you can leave chewed mice, ready cash, and offers of a primetime TV series on Channel 4."
Re: Sugar Allergy
Perhaps I might help you out a bit. You are incorrect in so many ways....and your sense of time is outlandishly juvenile. I am a doctor, I am not a scientist. I graduated from Life University in 1996 after a 4 year program where I received a chiropractic degree and also a BS in nutrition. Both were bestowed upon me in December of 1996. That's right, I studied for both degrees at the same time. It required 30 hours each of the last 8 quarters of school to do that. The date "1996" in my biography denotes the year of graduation, not the "year" I spent in school. I began there in January of 1993. Do the math...that's 4 years.
Life University is an accredited chiropractic school, providing the educational requirements of the National Board of Chiropractic and also the various State Boards.
In the State of Ohio, Chiropractors, MD's and Osteopaths are all considered primary care physicians according to the Ohio State Revised Code. We all have equal footing, though it does not require you to have any respect for me.
I was granted license # 2437 on February 26th, 1997 after successfully passing the State Board Exam.
I "attended" the University of Cincinnati for 5 years, playing football there and then dropped out without a degree to pursue business interests.
Nothing fake going on here but your analysis. Please see the Ohio State Board of Chiropractic and the Ohio Attorney General's office as well and the BBB in Cincinnati for more followup on my credentials and reputation.
In the future, your time may be better spent analyzing and discussing where you see failures in my therapies instead of attacking me personally. But, we both know you can't do that.

Well out of curiosity I checked the Ohio State board. The name Dr. David Dahlman checks out.

Re: Sugar Allergy
Thanks for checking facts. I appreciate it. That's so much better than emotional, personal attacks.
Re: Sugar Allergy
I suppose this could be viewed as a learning experience
Re: Sugar Allergy
Read MichealXY...
"Life University College of Chiropractic
Placed on Probation (June 2001), Then
Loses CCE Accreditation (June 2002)"
"From 1992 to 1996, when I attended Life College in Marietta, Georgia, all chiropractic students were required to attend a one-hour class called "Chiropractic Philosophy." Officially, it was a pass-or-fail class with grades based solely on attendance. Unofficially, it was called "assembly" and loathed by many students who resented forced attendance at a program lasting over an hour. Fifteen minutes before the assigned time, long lines of students and faculty could be seen slowly moving toward the gymnasium."
"On June 7, 2002, the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), which is the national organization that accredits chiropractic schools, revoked the accreditation status of Life University of Marietta, Georgia. Life advocates a "straight" chiropractic approach which holds that spinal malfunction ("subluxations") is the underlying cause of ill health and that spinal adjustments enable the body to heal itself."
"Five men who are students or former students of Life University have filed suit charging that the university and its president, Sid E. Williams, D.C., have damaged them by failing to maintain the accreditation necessary for its graduates to be eligible for licensure"
And to this 'Dr' chiropracter... Firstly, you should not even be allowed to be able to call yourself a doctor and secondly you university lost accreditation in 2002 - and yet you practice as a chiropracter... That says a lot regulation about chiropracters...
Also Micheal XY... There is a LOT of dodgy universities about... A private that only specialises in alternative therapy is bound to be dodgy...
In the UK we have the following 'medical schools' that the General Medical Counsil will not licence you to practice as a doctor... So effectively you pay for a degree that is worthless... You aren't allowed to ever practice in the UK (or in most other countries) with such as degree...
European College of Medicine, London (ECM)
Grace University School of Medicine, London
London College of Medicine
London School of Medicine
London Medical School
School of Health and Neural Sciences, Nottingham
American International School of Medicine, UK satellite campus
St. Christopher's College of Medicine, Luton
Kigezi International School of Medicine, Cambridge
Medical College London, Montserrat
If this is the case with medicine... You can imagine how poorly redulated the world of 'alternative' medicine is like...
Re: Sugar Allergy
Your quite the detective Revenge.
Ok, here is the thing. I really had no bias in this issue one way or the other, so as for myself I could care less either way, but since you chose to single me out; I decided to do a little detctive work as well. You mention that the CCE has revoked the accreditation of Life University.
According to the CCE web site, the Life University is listed as an accredited Doctor of Chiropractic Degree Programs.
You can verify this on their link at http://www.cce-usa.org/adcp.php
And although I am sure that quackwatch (Chirobase.org) is a reliable source, I would not consider the site as being the end all know all experts.
Again, let me say I could care less about this Dr. person, I simply verifid that he held a valid license with the Ohio state board.
Yawn. Well now, isn't "Revenged's" name appropriate? Here sir, are the indisputable facts:
I am licensed by the State of Ohio as a Chiropractic Physician. MichaelXY already did the research.
I am licensed by that law to diagnose any and all human conditions and treat them using chiropractic technique and other natural methods including dietary changes, nutrition and supplements. There are 50,000 licensed chiropractors in the US and many more in the UK. Also note, there is no "e" in chiropractor.
I use no chiropractic technique in my practice, it's all nutrition and supplements.
I have one of the largest privately owned alternative health care websites in the world with 100k visitors each month. The amount of revenue associated with that far exceeds that earned by any of the world's finest surgeons.
The internet is a wonderful source for health information as well as one of the worst sources. Buyer beware.
I graduated from Life University fully 6 years before they had their accreditation problems. I could not care less that they had those problems. I was long gone.
Life University is fully accredited now.
Quackwatch is run by a "hit man" for the medical establishment, "Dr." Stephen Barrett. He unfortunately is no longer licensed, revocation of his psychiatric license was in the 90's. He said he simply allowed it to lapse. He has since run a website that attacks everything not medical. He has been embarrassed by me in radio debates and by a California Appeals court after he sued a homeopathic supplement company for "false and misleading" advertising. Hey Revenged...isn't homeopathy popular in the UK? Doesn't the Royal family participate?
The judge in the case declared Barrett to not be a qualified expert in any shape or form to be a reliable witness in this case and found for the defendant in very strong language. You can read about the case with links to the actual judge's comments and the documents of the case here:
California Appeals Court BLUDGEONS Quackbusters
The quackbusters had accused King Bio of false advertising. At issue was the credibility of the NCAHF's witnesses, Stephen Barrett, and Wallace Sampson MD. ...
http://www.quackpotwatch.org/opinionpieces/ california_appeals_court_bludgeo.htm
Or, simply Google "King Bio Barrett" for more than you can read about this huckster.
So, Revenged...you can see you are very late to the party. Attackers of me and hucksters like Barrett have already been dealt with. Nice try on your part, but my promotion of alternative health care marches forward in spite of you and the 1000's of people I help each year continues to grow.
I'm sure you would get a kick out of my new book: Why Doesn't My Doctor Know This? Conquering Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Crohn's Disease and Colitis. The name is the #1 question I heard in my office after I explained to my patients in simple terms what was wrong with them, what was the cause and the all natural treatment I suggested for them. Your beloved MD's prefer to suppress/mask/manage symptoms using drugs with side effects, patients are tired of that approach and they are making a career for me. I am grateful.
And, you are doing what many before you have tried to do and failed. You prefer to attempt to dismiss me in ways other than addressing the facts of my protocols and debating the merits. Debate my treatments instead of attacking me. You can't, because you can't understand them and...you're just a mean guy. Shame on you.
So, I know you won't let this go, you will post something else that tries to show what an unqualified failure I am. Problem is, wishing doesn't make it so and I continue to help more people than I ever imagined I could.
Re: Sugar Allergy
yeah, that may be... but you have to consider what this licencing actually is... tbh i don't know what happens in the states (i don't really want to go into it) but i do know that we don't have any real licencing of alternative therapy here... it seems pretty much anyone can do it...
recently in the news there is supposed to be a regulatory board being set up in the UK... however, this scheme is supposed to be 'voluntary'... you have to wonder what good a voluntary scheme is supposed to do and you have to wonder why no one has bothered to set up any sort of law to protect patients that get harmed by alternative therapists...
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_a ... 134337.ece
perhaps chirobase isn't the most reliable source... however, what I said about Ben Goldacre is definitely accurate... He a medical doctor who works as a journalist in one of the UK best selling broadsheet newspapers (the guardian)... he definitely managed to managed to get his dead cat to become a certified member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants (AANC) for 60 dollars {the same qualification 'dr' gillian mckeith had)...
and this licensing is quite an important issue... i'll tell you about an interesting case... whilst on a clinical placement at a GP surgery i saw someone with had a total left foot drop... initially he presented with left sided sciatica (sciatica is compression of the sciatic nerve - it innervates the muscles in the lower leg)... he had the standard tests - initial lumbar MRI showed slight compression of the lumbar spine... the standard treatment was given (strong pain killers) and he was being monitored... he got fed up with the doctors as they just gave him pain killers and sent him home so he decided to go to a chiropracter...the manipulation of the spine had caused compression of the sciatic nerve and he could no longer dorsiflex his left foot two days later (so he couldn't move his foot upwards - all his dorsiflexor muscles had atrophied)... the damage was irreversible... since the nerve damage he had two failed surgeries and they sent him to have electrical stimulation of the muscle (i'm not really sure what this was it happened at a specialist neurological hospital - but it didn't work)... he had to wear a foot brace but he still couldn't really walk properly... the gait was very unsteady even with the foot brace... but without the brace he would trip over his left foot since it literally dropped completely - and he would trip over his left leg every time he walked... the worst part was that he couldn't sue... he didn't have a legal leg to stand on (sorry for the pun)... it seems that if you get disabled by an alternative therapist in the UK then you just have to live with it... there seems to be no regulation here... we don't have the equvalent of the GMC (general medical counsil) for this 'alternative' therapists... which is very worrying...
i just told you that story to show my cynicism of alternative therapies is not totally unfounded...

1) your link doesn't even work... i have no idea what you are talking about... i clicked on it but i got a 'forbidden you cannot access the website'
2) i'm am english (not american)... we spell colour and neighbour like that and we can spell chiropracter with an 'e'...

3) thirdly, i don't shamelessly plug myself on websites...
i did find it quite odd that someone joins here just to make one post advertising mr wonder chiropracter... and the next post after we have this mr wonder chiropracter defending myself... my cynical side tells me that you posed and made a fake account to advertise yourself online... your shameless plug of your book (of which i genuinely have no interest whatsoever) only makes me think that you would pose as someone else to advertise yourself...
4) fourthly, your book in nonsense... IBS isn meaningless... it isn't even a real medical condition, it is just a label given to a bowel problem of known cause... it's used like TATT (tired all the time)... and your arrogance on the subject is astounding... you can't claim to know better about the subject than specialist gastroenterologist...
5) homeopathy i don't really care about and it's only the prince of wales that likes alternative therapy (not the whole royal family like you were saying)... as for prince charles - i dislike even more than you - so i don't care what the he thinks... and the main difference between hoemopathy is giving sugar tablets never harmed anyone (whereas chiropracters do)...
6) i think homeopathy medicine is a waste of money... unlike in the states where the FDA licence anti-cancer drugs straight away... our clinical body - the national institue of clinical excellence - is not licencing most of the latests anti cancer drugs despite clinical evidence that they prolong life of patients for months because they apparently are too expensive... but we waste millions of pounds on areas in the NHS - it is badly organised... and funding homeopathy is just one of many areas that's waste in my opinion...
7) Don't say i don't understand what i'm talking about just because you don't like what i'm saying... You don't even know me...

Assembly OKs officer death probe bill
MADISON — Wisconsin police departments would have to enlist outside investigators to probe officer-involved deaths, Milwaukee police would get money for more gunshot sensors and jail guards could strip search more inmates under a trio of bills the state Assembly passed overwhelmingly on Tuesday.
Rep. Garey Bies, R-Sister Bay, introduced the investigations measure in October in response to a number of high-profile officer-involved deaths over the last decade. Police in Kenosha killed Michael Bell in 2004; Derek Williams, a robbery suspect, died gasping for breath in a Milwaukee squad car in 2011; and a Madison officer shot and killed Paul Heenan during a sidewalk scuffle in 2012. None of the officers involved were criminally charged.
Bies said the bill is an attempt to allay concerns about the possibility of officers investigating their friends and covering up for them.
"(The bill will) give the public confidence. It'll give the relatives of the person who died confidence. It also will give police officers more satisfaction when they are found that they did nothing wrong that they'll have more credibility on that finding," Bies, a former Door County sheriff's deputy, told reporters at a news conference before the Assembly convened.
Currently, smaller Wisconsin departments often rely on outside agencies to investigate officer-involved deaths. But the state's two biggest police departments, in Madison and Milwaukee, investigate their own officers.
The bill will allow agencies to use outside investigators from any county, including their own. The measure passed easily on a voice vote Tuesday.
Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, one of the bill's co-sponsors, told the Assembly she lives about a mile from where Heenan was killed. She said the shooting shook the state's capital city.
"(The bill) doesn't solve all the problems," she said. "It doesn't bring people's loved ones back. But I do think it makes a difference for families."
The Assembly also passed a bill that would funnel $175,000 from the state's general fund to the Milwaukee Police Department's ShotSpotter program, a system of sensors the department has deployed around the city to pick up the sounds of gunshots. Police Chief Ed Flynn says the system allows his officers to respond quickly to crime scenes and analyze crime patterns.
Flynn wants to use the state money and a matching $175,000 in the Milwaukee County budget to buy enough sensors to expand the system's coverage area from the current 3 square miles to 10. Rep. Mike Kuglitsch, R-New Berlin, the bill's main author, called the bill an "epiphany" during a news conference Tuesday because state, county and city government came to an agreement on something. It passed 95-1.
The chamber also passed a measure that would expand jail strip searches. Under current Wisconsin law, county jailors can strip search only people arrested for a felony or certain misdemeanors involving weapons, battery and reckless injury. The bill would allow jailors to strip search anyone who will be held with other prisoners.
Rep. Duey Stroebel, R-Saukville, the bill's main sponsor, says the change would simplify jail policies and ensure facilities are safer. Opponents say the bill would allow children to be strip searched and open the door to abuse.
It looked like a fierce debate was on tap until a group of Assembly Republicans and Democrats introduced an amendment that would exclude juveniles from searches, make the searches visual unless touching is necessary and require each agency that performs such searches to adopt written policies and train its employees in performing them. The amendment defused tensions and the bill passed on a voice vote.
All three measures now go to the state Senate, but their fate in that chamber is unclear. A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said Senate Republicans haven't discussed any of the proposals.

Meeting focuses on Interstate noise barriers
JANESVILLE—Several hundred people affected by proposed noise barriers along Interstate 90/39 will have an opportunity Tuesday to ask questions before they cast ballots in support or opposition.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation will stage a public information meeting to discuss the nine barriers proposed for the expansion project's central segment, which runs from County O to the Dane County line.
Derek Potter, the segment's project manager, said the meeting is primarily for potential wall neighbors: property owners, renters and those living within 500 feet of each wall.
"But we're not going to turn anyone away," Potter said.
While it's been cut into three segments, the entire Interstate expansion runs about 45 miles from the Illinois state line to the Beltline in Madison.
Built in the early 1960s, all of the 11 interchanges along the corridor have outdated design features that contribute to safety concerns, the department has determined. By 2030—with no corrective action—the department expects all three segments of the corridor will be operating with an unstable traffic flow and stop-and-go conditions.
The expansion project will start in 2015 and wrap up in 2021. Crews will:
-- Reconstruct and expand the Interstate from four to six lanes and reconfigure all 11 interchanges.
-- Expand the Interstate to eight lanes—four lanes in each direction—from Avalon Road south of Janesville to the Highway 26 interchange on the city's north side.
In addition to a variety of different interchanges, the department is proposing nine noise barriers, most of which will be 16 feet high and run contiguously.
The department estimates the cost of the barriers at $2.2 million per mile per side of the highway.
Federal guidelines mandate that for a noise barrier to be constructed it must be feasible, reasonable and approved by�a majority of people who live nearby.
The department has determined the nine walls are feasible and reasonable, and now it's up to affected property owners and residents to cast their ballots.
Those affected received barrier information, a ballot and an invitation to Tuesday's meeting.
For each owner-occupied residence, the owner gets one vote. For non-owner occupied residences, the owner and the resident each get one vote.
Ballots are due back to the department by Friday, Sept. 27, and the majority of votes per noise barrier wall will determine the outcome.

Janesville Police looking for missing man, piecing together timeline
JANESVILLE—The Janesville Police Department is looking for a missing man.
Gerald Hockensmith, 59, of Janesville, was last seen Thursday, May 1 at his apartment, 120 N. River St., according to police.
He may have been seen Thursday, May 8 near at Five Points Liquor Store, 600 W. Milwaukee St.
Hockensmith was reported missing by his roommate Wednesday, May 7, Sgt. Mike Blaser said.
He was wearing a black sweatshirt, black pants, and white tennis shoes. He is white, approximately 6 feet tall and 250 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes.
Hockensmith primarily travels by foot and frequents convenience and liquor stores.
Police are investigating his disappearance "on its own merit," Blaser said.
Hockensmith's disappearance is at a time when Janesville authorities are investigating claims made by Clayton Courtney.�
Courtney, 28, is charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide after stabbing his roommate multiple times on May 4.
Before the stabbing, Courtney reportedly told a roommate he killed three people earlier.
"We're taking all the details about his (Hockensmith's) specific situation and his roommate's report and investing it solely on that claim," Blaser said. "We're not tying anything together at this point."
On Friday, police pulled the body of Mary Coulthard, 75, from the Rock River. She was last seen May 2. The search for her began May 3.
Police do not have any information linking Coulthard's death and Courtney at this time, Blaser said.
As part of the investigation into Hockensmith's disappearance, police are attempting to gather video footage from area locations. They are also trying to put together a timeline using information gathered about his habits and schedules to help find any leads.
This is routine when someone is reported missing, Blaser said.
If you know where Hockensmith is, or have seen him since May 1 or May 8, please call the police department at 608-755-3100.

Red Sox beat Tigers, advance to World Series
BOSTON—The Boston Red Sox are going back to the World Series for the third time in 10 seasons.
Shane Victorino's seventh-inning grand slam propelled Boston to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night, clinching the AL championship series in six games and setting up a World Series rematch with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Red Sox will host Game 1 on Wednesday night against the team they swept in 2004 to end their 86-year title drought. The Cardinals won the NL pennant on Friday night by eliminating the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games.
With 21-game winner Max Scherzer on the mound, Detroit took a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning and held it until Boston loaded the bases on a double, a walk and an error by shortstop Jose Iglesias. Victorino lofted an 0-2 pitch from Jose Veras over the Green Monster.
Beards vs. fresh faces
Big Papi, Dustin Pedroia and the bearded guys from Boston. Michael Wacha, Trevor Rosenthal and those fresh mugs from St. Louis.
Pretty neat face-off in this World Series.
Cardinals-Red Sox, once again in October. Fully rested, they'll open Wednesday night at Fenway Park.
Postseason stars from past and present—Carlos Beltran, David Freese, John Lackey, David Ortiz and Adam Wainwright.
Juicy plotlines—can Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina shut down Jacoby Ellsbury and the runnin' Red Sox? Can all-world closer Koji Uehara stop Matt Holliday and the Cardinals?
Plus, plenty of history—think Stan Musial vs. Ted Williams in 1946, Bob Gibson vs. Carl Yastrzemski in '67 or Pedro Martinez vs. Albert Pujols in 2004. Or, perhaps more memorably that last time, Curt Schilling and the bloody sock vs. The Curse.
The Red Sox and Cardinals are hardly arch enemies, however. They haven't played since Kevin Youkilis homered over the Green Monster in the 13th inning on June 22, 2008.
This year, Boston and St. Louis bounced back from disappointments and tied for the most victories in the majors with 97. Not since the Braves and Yankees in 1999 have league win leaders met in the World Series (the Cardinals and Red Sox were the top-scoring teams in their leagues, too).
Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Boston's scraggly band rose under first-year manager John Farrell, a season after the team hit bottom under Bobby Valentine with its most losses in nearly five decades.
Matt Carpenter, Matt Adams and St. Louis rebounded a year after wasting a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series against the Giants. Manager Mike Matheny got lots of help from a rookie-laden staff.
Wacha was the MVP of the NLCS and is 3-0 with a 0.43 ERA in the postseason. Rosenthal took over the closer role with a 100 mph fastball. Shelby Miller, Carlos Martinez and others also made major contributions.
The Cardinals captured their 19th NL pennant by trouncing Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Friday night in Game 6 of the NLCS.
The Red Sox earned their 13th pennant Saturday night, riding Victorino's go-ahead grand slam to a 5-2 victory over Detroit in Game 6 of the ALCS.

�Angels Among Us
An angel ascended to heaven tonight
Free from the constraints of her earthly being.
She slipped past her loved ones as they said goodbye
And traveled the light path that beckoned her soul.
While her past lay before her, she searched through the years
Of tragedy and triumph, of love and regret.
She had said her goodbyes and made her amends,
Her lessons well learned and a life well lived,
A legacy of love for those left behind.
Catching a moonbeam, she soared through the stars.
Closer to heaven and those that await.
A beautiful reunion with those she had loved
Having journeyed before her and traveled their light.
She will bask in the glory of her newfound awareness
While she awaits her earthbound loved ones to call
With outstretched arms as our angel she will wait
To guide us home safely as we soar through the stars
and catch our own moonbeam until safe in her arms.
Kimberlee Bell Ludois

Janesville Jets cleared to land
JANESVILLE—When Joe Dibble arrived here for the first time in 2012, the Janesville Jets team that he was charged with coaching didn't necessarily need an image change.
The Jets simply needed an image in the community altogether.
"The team didn't have a bad image," said Greg Hanthorn, who grew up in Janesville and took over as the Jets' manager of business operations and community relations last offseason. "But we wanted to make it Janesville's team, and it is Janesville's team."
Dibble's and the organizations' goals were three-fold, with the early emphasis coming in the form of community service. Service initiatives had been a staple of Dibble's past work, which included his most previous stint as a coach in Springfield, Ill.
Jets players took turns volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring youngsters after school until their parents got off work. They read to students at schools. Hanthorn said the organization turned down just one service opportunity because it conflicted with a scheduled game time.
The result, Dibble and Hanthorn said, was nearly 2,200 hours of service in less than seven months.
"My players have always done community service … but we were actually trying to turn a hockey team into the town's team instead of our team," Dibble said. "To see these guys change the image and the mindset, it just shows you how important the things away from the rink are."
Local fans took notice, judging by attendance figures. The Jets averaged an attendance of about 800 per night at the Janesville Ice Arena, which seats 1,152. And, according to Hanthorn, they sold out a game for the first time last season.
"They start to identify and meet these kids," Jets assistant coach Jason Dobes said. "These kids have to take a different path to accomplish a dream."
It didn't take first-year Jets player Elliot Tisdale, who came from a team in Jamestown, N.Y., to notice something different.
"It's taken up a notch here, definitely," he said. "There are way more hours involved off the ice, with community service and whatnot. But I think the fans appreciate it, and the people in the community appreciate it. That's what it's all about."
Yet now, with the service portion of their plan implemented and even growing, the Jets enter the 2013-14 season ready to attack the other two goals on Dibble's list.
One of those objectives is to prepare more players to sign at the Division I college hockey level. The team had four players sign on to play at that level last year and has four already on the books with the season-opener coming Wednesday in Blaine, Minn.
"We're expecting to get close to the 10 mark this year," Dibble said.
The final piece to the puzzle—though certainly not the least important one—is sending a team on the ice that can compete for an NAHL North Division crown, and potentially even the Robertson Cup.
The youngest team in the league last year, the Jets missed out on a top-six divisional finish and a spot in the playoffs by the narrowest of margins—a tiebreaker—after tying Springfield with 56 points.
One year later, Dibble and Co. have put together a roster with a bevy of experience.
"We've got 10 or 11 guys back, but we also have eight others that have played a year in our league or the USHL," Dibble said. "So we have 18 veterans right now. Last year we started with four.
"We made some trades, tendered a kid that played in the USHL. A couple teams folded, so they became free agents and came our direction. Last year, you want to beat your head off the wall at times, as young as we were."
There's a different feeling around the rink in 2013.
Playing for the Robertson Cup feels more like a goal than a dream.
"Everyone's kind of on the same page right now with where we think we can take things," Tisdale said. "We have a lot of guys stepping up and protecting each other. That brings together a team and really shows us how far down the line we can take things."
It's just the second year under this group of Jets leadership, but with their initial plan still on track, the Jets might make a rumble during the 2013-14 season.
"Making it as far as we can in the playoffs, that's number one this year," Dibble said, "because we know everything else we did is going to continue."

It gives you access to advanced features like persistent HTTP connections, parallel requests, exponential backoff, over the wire logging, MD5 validation, cookie jars, and a caching forward proxy.
Nibble Framework is a plug-in based framework that enables fast development of small to medium Web sites. It is designed using PHP 5.3 functionality such as namespaces. Web sites and applications are developed using collections of plug-ins that can be reused and shared with other developers. Plug-ins can be installed using a drag and drop interface. Many classes are provided, including the Nibble Forms class, Twitter feeds class, and RedBean PHP ORM.
log2command was created as a sort of reverse fail2ban or cheap VPN-firewall: a machine with a closed firewall can be told, by a foreign machine, to accept connections from a specific IP. log2command then keeps track of the Web server log file and watches for inactivity from the user's IP. After an amount of time, another command is executed that can remove the user's IP from the firewall, closing down the machine again.

Analog PHP is a short and simple logging package for PHP 5.3+ based around the idea of using closures for configurability and extensibility. It functions as a static class, but you can completely control the handling of log messages through closures (aka anonymous functions), and it also comes with a dozen pre-written handlers. It is well-documented, with examples for each type of log handler, and ultra-concise. The core is literally only 43 lines of clear, non-obfuscated code, and the whole is only a fraction of the size of comparable packages (for example, 293 total lines vs 1021 for Monolog).

Implemented protocols are HTTP1.1/1.0, Comet, Telnet, DNS, mail, and FTP. Each protocol runs modules that build response data based on the requests. Memory object persistence allows data and caches to be shared across protocols or time. All configuration uses XML. It can be launched as a daemon, with or without forked workers, and is nearly as fast as Apache in preliminary tests.

Walters: Walker is boxed in on Kenosha casino
The 60-day deadline that Gov. Scott Walker set for a decision on the Menominee Tribe's proposed Kenosha casino ends one month from today.
After the Bureau of Indian Affairs signed off on a Kenosha casino Aug. 23, Walker said he wanted a decision within 60 days.
More important, Walker also set three conditions for its approval: It must have local support. It can't increase "net" casino gaming—a term so vague it allows Walker to write his own definition. And there must be a "consensus" by Wisconsin's 11 tribes for the Kenosha casino.
Developments since have put Walker in a box on the Kenosha casino.
How Walker climbs out of that box will have implications for his future, in terms of both his re-election bid next year and a potential run for president in 2016. It's his next chance to make potent pre-election friends and enemies.
Why is the first-term governor boxed in on the Kenosha casino, which has the backing of area officials and, based on past referendums, local residents?
First, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and 15 Milwaukee-area Democratic legislators oppose it.
In their Sept. 10 letter to the governor, the 15 Democrats said a Kenosha casino would hurt the Milwaukee casino of the Potawatomi Tribe—a tribe they said has "helped create thousands of family-supporting jobs while investing in the community through diverse charitable giving."
The Democrats then used the all-important "J" word: "Economic analysis by the city and county of Milwaukee found that the proposed casino could result in the loss of 3,000 direct and indirect jobs. Our community cannot afford to lose such a significant number of jobs."
Kenosha's Democratic senator, Bob Wirch, did not sign that letter. He supports the casino, whose backers use their own "J" word number: Building the Kenosha casino would create 3,300 new jobs.
Second, seven Republican legislators now support the Kenosha casino and more are expected. Supporting it are Reps. Paul Tittl of Manitowoc, David Craig of Big Bend, Tyler August of Lake Geneva, Thomas Weatherston of Caledonia, Jeff Mursaw of Crivitz, Samathana Kerkman of Randall and Gary Tauchen of Bonduel.
Personal relationships can also be very important in these decisions.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos started his Capitol career working for then-Republican Rep. Jim Ladwig, now Kenosha County executive and a casino backer. When Ladwig left the Assembly, Vos worked for his wife, Rep. Bonnie Ladwig, who then held that Assembly seat.
Another key Republican, Senate President Mike Ellis, thinks Walker is wrong to lay out conditions before the Menominee Tribe gets the Kenosha casino.
Ellis said the marketplace should decide whether a Kenosha casino is viable; a CVS pharmacy doesn't get to decide how close to it a new Walgreens can be built, for example.
Ellis, facing a tough re-election next year in which he will be criticized as a rubber-stamp "yes" for Walker's controversial changes to collective bargaining and expanding school choice, wants to be able to list his disagreements with the governor.
Third, the three tribes with the most profitable casinos—Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Oneida—won't agree to the Kenosha casino. The eight other tribes, including the Menominee, have asked Walker to approve it.
In a WisconsinEye interview, Walker made it clear that a "consensus—not a majority"—of the 11 tribes must back the Kenosha casino for it to be approved.
In the new second edition of her book, "Indian Nations of Wisconsin," UW-Madison professor Patty Loew summarized the stalemate this way:
"Tribes that perceive themselves economically to be the 'have nots' continue to press for off-reservation casinos, efforts that will undoubtedly meet resistance from native nations with existing gaming operations in the area."
Loew, a former Wisconsin Public Television host, is a member of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe. She said she's now an "advocate" on tribal issues.
In a WisconsinEye interview last week, Loew called Walker's three conditions "a successful attempt by state government to drive a wedge between the tribes."
"To say, 'Sure, I'll support this casino, but you have to give one up, and you all have to agree'—that's not going to happen," she said.
But Kenosha casino backers are quietly saying something else: We still have a month to go.

Two updated forecasts for the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season slightly reduce the number of named storms expected this year, but there is no change in outlook for another above-average season.
The National Hurricane Center released its August update calling for an above average hurricane season of 13-19 named storms, including 7-9 hurricanes and 3-5 major hurricanes. In May, NHC forecast 13-20 named storms, including 7-11 hurricanes and 3-6 major hurricanes. The weather service says there is a 70 percent probability of each of the ranges of activity.
Factors causing the increased intensity are reduced trade winds over the Caribbean Sea and the tropical North Atlantic through September, which will influence cyclone activity in the Atlantic. Also, forecasters expect Atlantic sea surface temperatures to be slightly above normal.
Aon Benfield's research unit Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) slightly reduced its prediction to 15 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
In June, TSR predicted 16 named storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes this season. Still, the season is poised to be stronger than the historic norm.
TSR says an average year produces 11 named storms, six hurricanes and three Category 3 and above hurricanes of sustained winds of 111 mph or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. TSR scientists project that there is about a 50 percent probability the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Index will be above-average, a 41 percent likelihood it will be near-normal, and a 10 percent chance it will be below-normal.
To date, four named storms have popped up in the Atlantic reaching tropical storm status and doing little damage.
