not well read is he?
People are dying and you want to play games Frankie? Dear Lord above what is wrong with you? Where are your priorities?
May I suggest that you start to use some of your intelligence to help us all figure out how we can best precede with obtaining legitimate research, appropriate treatment, and a possible cure instead of playing games?
Frankie boy, It has NEVER, EVER been Randy's approach to ask "please" and especially not "pretty please" to anyone in her entire life, she considers this type of proper etiquette to be begging and finds herself above that. I cannot believe that you have not read this thread before jumping in here. You are uninformed, please read up.
Randy's approach has always been her down fall. She, like you, wants to dictate, give orders, and treat adults like children. She is insultive and degrading just like the traits that you have displayed here. Please stop making the same mistake. The whole "holier than thou" attitude will get you nowhere here or anywhere else, in the civilian world anyway.
Read over her latest post and observe how unscientific she has just been in stating what this is and is not. She talks as an authority and has nothing to back it up. Her theory about the insect part of this is retarded and not accurate at all but hear her profess how correct she is and how everyone else is wrong. How about educating her in the scientific process? She obviously needs it more than the rest of us! If you can not see this then you are not objective at all and can only be biased.
And at what point and after how many years do we decide to stop politely asking them to "pretty please DO SOMETHING"?????? "Pretty please" aint doin it Frankie boy! We have no other alternative than to sue to get anybody to do any thing to help. If you have any other suggestions, I'm open.
First of all respect is earned in civilian life. You are in severe need of deprogramming. How many years did you spend being a GRUNT anyway? You're a lifer hu?
Hate to rain on your parade, but how about lets not. There is power in numbers Frankie boy. Why do you attempt to divide and not unite? And why would you want to be parasitic in personality and expect everyone to just do all the work for you while you reap the benefits?
Dear Fromcanada,
Thank you very much for posting on Dr. Nicolson. He is one of my heroes also.
I will repost what J Jill added also (excellent find Jill and thanks for posting it) in hopes that someday soon they will begin to do some valid research (that is not coming from us) so they can tell us something that we do not already know.
Dear Deena,
Got it. Thanks and I will keep everyone posted on my response.
Dear Maggie Mae,
You liked that one hu? Too bad it's true though. Keep up the great work sister!
To all,
I can vouch that southcity and his site are as legitimate as they come. The fear tactics used by Frankie boy can be discarded as just that, a tactic. I wish to thank South for being so instrumental in moving this issue forward. His actions speak for themselves and we all are indebted to him for his past and continued hard and selfless work. Thank you South for providing one more safe space for the suffering.
Genetic Isolation of Meningococci of the Electrophoretic Type 37 Complex
N. meningitidis is one of the most variable bacterial species colonizing the human host. This is reflected by the fact that over 1,000 STs have been identified by MLST since publication of the method in 1998 (28). The genetic variability is due in large part to recombination (11, 12). However, despite frequent recombination, the population structure of N. meningitidis is not panmictic. Only a few clonal groupings, which have been known for decades, have been demonstrated to be responsible for majority of cases of serogroup A, B, and C meningococcal disease. Accordingly, measurement of the frequency of recombination by using the homoplasy test revealed that recombination was much less obvious in meningococci than in H. pylori

Hey Tam, you need to garble that english up a bit. You're supposed to play some kind of European from the French Nose and C, tribal liberty council. of the Netherlands.
That first sentence is a dead give away buddy.
Re: not well read is he?
I notice nobody stepped into the batter's box.
Bump for the noob. This is why Tam Tam's video is a scam operation. When somebody, anybody, can provide data to counter this data set, we can develop a different conclusion. Until then, you're just posting BS on a scientific forum. Opinions are like A-holes, everyone has one. Science relies on data. Tam Scam was asked to provide data for over a year and had to leave this forum when he could no longer deny that he was just a common spammer using his presentation to lure people to his site. The supporting data for this claim and all others in this post can be found in the pages of this thread
OK, that's a fair question. Let's look at what is considered as proof in objective scientific analysis. In logical and scientific analysis, a known object of study is observed and measured for data which define a set characteristics, which in turn support a conclusion. There are many sets of observation which are considered valid. Not all data sets are composed of visible data.
An example of this is atomic observation. No one has seen an atom. Yet we know it exists because of its behavioral characteristics. We know how atoms behave, and therefore draw conclusions based upon their behavior. If one group of atoms behave in one manner, and another group behaves in another manner, we can then categorize them by their behavioral characteristics. We can't see atoms, but we know from the data characteristics that they display what they are, and how they will effect our environment.
Tam Tam can be evaluated in the same manner. Once again here is a set of known data that defines the conclusions that I have made about Tam Tam.
1) Tam Tam composed an elaborate thesis, but failed to validate it with requested data for over a year. A logical conclusion is that he may be lying, and therefore has no data to support his thesis.
2) Tam Tam operated a very expensive, high bandwidth, web site with no visible means of paying the bill. When questioned about this, Tam Tam stated that he has received funding from investors in the "French Nose & Co." investment company which does not exist. A logical conclusion is that Tam Tam is once again lying, and that he is making money to pay his bill from some other source.
3) Tam Tam's web site used a very professional, and expensive video presentation to capture a target audience, and led them to believe that he had identified the source of their problem, but did not disclose what the source was. The web page then invited the audience to create a "user login" where it is assumed that the audience will gain greater site privileges, and be given more information. After submitting the personal information, the audience finds that there are no more privileges or information beyond that which has already been given on the first and only page. A logical conclusion is that Tam Tam is using the video presentation to lure people to submit personal information, which he compiles and sells to data mining companies at a profit.
Now there is your data which is acceptable by scientific methodology. These three simple sets of data lead to a conclusion that Tam Tam is nothing more than a common spammer based upon behavioral characteristics. To reach a different conclusion, you would have to include different data. Tam Tam has been asked to provide data which would offset the balance of data displayed here, but has refused to do so.
Now I have answered your question by basing my conclusion upon scientific methodology.
Now I have a question for you, and will continue to ask this same question of you until you provide a valid answer that is also based upon scientific methodology.
Sabrina, what data can you provide that will indicate that Tam Tam is a valid microbiological researcher who has discovered that the source of the morgellons infection is a man made bacterium, that forms intelligent proteins within us, and is assembling insect parts within our bodies?
We will each go one question at a time here, and will not proceed to the next question until each has submitted a valid, objective answer. This is the biology-online.org scientific forum, not the USA Today entertainment forum.
Re: not well read is he?
Yea, I suppose it's always better to scam the adults and send the kids to bed frightened isn't it Sabrina? Scum.
Perhaps that is because this is no game Frankie boy.

Either Frankie boy is a liar or this website is having some problems. When I hit this link, "page cannot be displayed " came up. Maggie, did you test this link before posting it?
Nope, he is a liar alright!!!
Frankie boy keeps saying that he will go away for "a week or so" yet he is still here.
Gee Frankie boy, don't get mad. I would hate to see the stress tax your immune system because you would then have to do some push ups and drink some carrot jucie to get your condition back in check.
Sticks and stones Frankie boy, sticks and stones!
Please enjoy your week or so. We surly will.
I am really busy tonight with translation work but Nicholson stated that Tams video was bogus and I have the entire letter. He goes on to say that the stuff made no logical sense....anyways..I am way too tired to fight..have not slept in 35 hours and I have tons of work to catch up on so I will not be able to defend attacks..so please wait till tomorrow to lie about me and make up who I work for and who I am. Thank yoU!
During the End Times, Good will battle Evil. Where do you stand?
However, I am still here scum. The wife has this thing about prying me away from the computer upon occasions such as vacations. But she just got to read the thread and is POd. Guess who's taking the wi-fi laptop on vacation?......................scum
She has this thing about frightened kids, and sick adults..........scum
And liars MFC-Tam....................scum

Stomach bloating and weight gain
For discussing the functions of different structures of all organisms.
Moderator: BioTeam
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
I am nearly 18 years old, and a relatively short and small built person weighing only 48-49kg. To me being a healthy thin weight was something that is important to me because it makes me feel good about myself after spending my entire childhood being bullied about my weight.
I have been diagnose with Fructose & Lactose intolerance, Egg Allergy & Coeliac's Disease. Therefore my bloating cannot be a reaction due to sugar intake or for that matter wheat intake. I am constinatly on laxatives, as without them I would become severly constipated (this is due to my intolerances and allergies)
In 2010 I lost 23 kg (when I reached 48kg) & I felt absolutely fantastic - I was eating right and doing exercise every day.
About 8 months after losing all my weight I started putting on weight again to become 56kg. I can no longer fit into any of my clothes, and I feel so self concious. I hadn't changed anything in regards to my diet or exercise. I was burning more calories than what I was taking in.
I went to the doctors & I was told that I have less than a 1kg of fat on my stomach, so I was left feeling confused about why my stomach was the size of a basketball. I was told that it was due to abdominal gas and that was it. My test results came back that everything was normal. No problems with my thyroid.
Every time I eat or drink anything, no matter how small it is, I feel like I have eaten a basket ball. It is very saddening. I get no support from my parents about it either because they jsut don't seem to get it. It has pushed me to the point where I would rather be Anorexic that the weight I am. And I know the severe effects Anorexia can bring & I know how bad it is and how selfish it is for me to say something like that, but it's getting to the point where I just don't care about the side effect.
I have tried everything to get rid of my stomach - stomach toning exercises, no carbohydrates, everything. But nothing is working and it's really taking a toll on my mental health.
I just want it to go away.
Hay read a book called 'Wheat Belly' by William Davis.
If you eat too much "good" diet you can also gain weight, pigs eats vegetables and they are so fat. I don't think excessives exercise will help you. If you are not some kind of alien you will loose weight when you will start to eat less for 2-3 months.
Cushing Syndrom could be a problem, secondary or primary.
OMG, I have been hunting and hunting for others that are experiencing the same symptoms I have been going through.
Brief Story
This past summer of 2012 I started getting the "Blown Up" stomach after I ate. I was getting frustrated with it because I am only 5 1 1/2 and have never weighted over 100 lbs. Well I started gaining weight and I had to buy larger pants etc. I went to my GP doctor and he said if you think I am going to say anything about your weight your crazy you need to gain weight and left it at that. Ive had my appendix out, I have no gallbladder (out two years ago) and have had a complete Hysterectomy since I was 28, now 48. I had my gallbladder removed a couple of year ago because it was only working 15%.
The weekend before Thanksgiving I was experiencing not only the "blown up" stomach but massive pain. I laid in bed for 2 days. My husband insisted that he take me to the emergency room and they did a CT scan and told me that the bottom of my stomach was closing and they admitted me into the hospital. They gave me pain meds and nausea meds, that was on a Sat evening. On Monday they did an Upper GI on me and said they did not find anything but a hernia so they kept me in the hospital because I was unable to eat without getting severely nauseated and in pain, I begged them to just send me home. I went home and the pain has only gotten worse along with the swollen stomach and nausea. At first the pain started in the lower right side of my stomach. Now the pain starts just under my right rib cage then radiates down in a backwards "C" then back to the same spot that always causes the most pain. I've had every test done that they could think and still cannot figure out what is wrong. Ive been back in the hospital due to the massive pain and nausea. They said I have Celiac Disease, so I have been on a gluten free diet for almost two weeks and I have not noticed any change. I have been off work since before Thanksgiving. The pain gets worse when I eat and start moving about. If I don't eat and don't move about and don't drink anything it doesn't get to bad. I've tried to drink Boost drinks to keep my energy somewhat up but it makes me swell and get in pain so I am at a loss.
I am now being referred to Duke University to a specialist, I hope that they get it scheduled really soon because I cannot take this anymore. I've gained 15 lbs in 3 months.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need answers and don't know what else to do. I have read a lot of the posts and I don't want to wait for years for some doctor to practice medicine on me, I want someone that knows what they are dealing with and can give me definite answers. I do a lot of research and have found a few things but nothing exactly to what is going on.
Desperately in need of HELP!
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
This might be helpful. It's an article I wrote about the connection between chewing (or rather the lack of it) and stomach bloating.
I'm 13 and i weight 66kg already !
I have a big belly, but the other places of my body are not as fat...
I'm only 160+ cm tall, what should I do?
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Hi friends, I am pissed of this problem and confidence, workout everything is lost from my life.
As soon as i start going to gym and lift some weights , this problems starts. Bloated stomach, followed by constipation, null urge to eat food, headache lost stamina, increased heart beat and in extreme nose bleeding.
When i stop workout for few days things start getting back to normal. but gymming is my life..how can i stay so unfit. HELP!!!
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
I've read most of the comments and finally feel relieved it's not just me! I am 17 years old and this has been bothering me since last year. Since the summer I have put 1 stone on. I know we've had Christmas and I've had a holiday slipped in there too but I just don't understand. I bloat after anything I eat/drink and no one seems to understand. I do exercise 5-6 times a week and try to have the healthiest diet possible but sort of relax at weekends! I eat wheat and gluten free foods but still experiencing an extremely uncomfortable amount of bloating and the pain isn't getting any better. I have an appointment with my local gp next week. I just wanted to know if any of you could shine some light to what it may be! Just want to be able to eat normally along with being healthy and bloat free!!!!
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Most of the time, it is from a high carb diet- referring to all breads, pastas, sugars and yes beer. The present day foods are filled with problems that previous generations did not have to suffer with- including gmo foods,hormones/steroids in the food, estrogen in the soy, artificial coloring and many preservatives. It is getting to a near impossibility trying to eat to live, even with high organic proteins and veggies- one can still go wrong. Then we have Candida, which is indeed a problem and not totally solved with drowning it out with probiotics and yogurt. What is overlooked however, and extremely hard to do- though works like a charm and is much needed for all humans to do- is a good ol fashion FAST. A fast will clear out all toxins, impurities of the system, clears up potential risks and is the number one cure for all in preventing diseases. As hard as it is to do in western civilization, with the excess at our fingertips, a fast is the much needed answer for many. It also utilizes the stored fat and the energy is increased.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
If you have already been to your doctor and cannot find the cause, then it could be the candida problem. My personal experience with that is that it does cause extreme bloating and "weight gain for no reason". The McCombs Plan really does work to get it under control in my experience. If you google McCombs Plan you should find it, or go to CandidaPlan.com
My problem is that it keeps coming back. Through many, many doctors visits we've discovered the cause … lead and mercury poisoning. Those toxic metals are so toxic they can kill off your good flora, leaving plenty of room for the yeast to take over. If it keeps coming back for you, there are tests that can be run to check the toxic metals, and levels of good flora. I'm blogging about it now in effort to share helpful information about it, because it was so difficult to find the cause that I am sure others must be struggling as well. If you have interest in the information, I've named the site after my screen name. ExtremeBloating.com
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Janie I'm in similar situation. it has been many years since your original post in 2009. Can you tell me what your current status is please? Thanks. [email protected]

Janesville police: Missing man found; search timeline expanded for suspect's activities
JANESVILLE--The investigation into possibly undiscovered killings by Clayton J. Courtney took a new, worrisome turn Monday.
Police are now asking for the public's help to look several years into Courtney's past for clues of possible killings. Police previously had focused on the few days before the death of Britney N. Cross, 21, of Indianford.
Cross' body was found behind a vacant building on North Main Street in Janesville on May 5.
Courtney, a suspect in Cross' murder, is accused of saying that he had killed three people. He allegedly said those words while he was assaulting his roommate the night of May 4 in what police have described as a drug-fueled rage.
Courtney, 28, Janesville, is charged with attempted first-degree homicide in the stabbing of his roommate, Michael J. Clark.
Clark's initial statement to police included these words from Courtney: "I have killed three people tonight. We are all going to die."
But in a follow-up interview with investigators, Clark said Courtney actually told him: "I have killed three people. We are all going to die tonight."
Police Chief David Moore indicated at a news conference Monday that police now are concerned that if Courtney was telling the truth, the killings could have happened years earlier.
Police are asking anyone who knows of suspicious activities or statements by Courtney's in years past to come forward.
Moore said police also will consider any missing-person information that this new information might elicit.
Moore also revealed new information in the investigation of the death of Mary Coulthard of Janesville, whose body was found Friday in the Rock River in Janesville.
Coulthard died of drowning, but the autopsy revealed a fresh injury to her body that occurred before she died, Moore said.
Moore would not reveal the nature of the injury so as not to impede the investigation.
Moore said police don't know if the injury was incapacitating.
Courtney is not a suspect in Coulthard's death, and police have not found any evidence that their paths crossed, but Coulthard's injury could have happened in one of three ways, Moore said: an accident, suicidal behavior or a criminal act.
Police are not yet able to prove any of those scenarios, Moore said, but it could have been from a fall, from a fall into the river, or inflicted by someone unintentionally.
Moore also announced that a Janesville man reported missing last week has been found in northern Wisconsin.
Gerald Hockensmith, 59, had been last seen at his residence, 120 N. River St., on May 1. Police learned Wednesday that he was missing.
Monday morning, detectives verified with surveillance video from a northern Wisconsin bank that Hockensmith is alive and well.
Hockensmith apparently had decided to move to up north and did not take many of his possessions with him, Moore said. He had withdrawn money from the bank.
He is alive and well, Moore said, but detectives were on their way Monday to see Hockensmith in person.
Moore agreed Courtney could have been lying when he said he had killed three, "but we have a young woman who is dead in our community," so police have to take Courtney's words seriously.
Police have followed up on about 70 tips since the investigation began, Moore said, and many of those were helpful.
Coulthard had been missing since May 2. Her water bottle was found on the Milwaukee Street bridge, and her purse was found in the 200 block of South Jackson Street the next morning. The purse and contents will be sent to the state Crime Lab for DNA analysis, Moore said.
Some property was missing from the purse, but again, Moore said he could not reveal what it was.
Police are interested in any information about the purse's contents and about how Coulthard might have been injured, Moore said.
Coulthard's injury is "significantly different" from the blow to the head by a blunt object that caused Cross' death, Moore said.
Asked about Courtney's tattoo that includes the words "Pure hate" across his chest, and the fact that one of his favorite books listed on his Facebook page was "The Turner Diaries," which is popular in white supremacist circles, Moore said police have made no connection to a racist motive in the case, "but anything that is out there on his Facebook page will be vetted and investigated."
The Gazette covered the news conference live via Twitter. Read those Twitter posts below.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted two declaratory rulings that clarified the applicability of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act's (TCPA) consent requirements regarding informational text messages. While the rulings in each are limited to the specific requests set forth in the petitions, they include reasoning helpful for businesses looking for ways to reach their customers without running afoul of the TCPA.
The TCPA
The TCPA, enacted in 1991, seeks to regulate practices that threaten consumer privacy and public safety. The TCPA and the FCC's implementing rules prohibit, among other things, the use of an artificial or prerecorded voice or an automatic telephone dialing system to make a non-emergency, informational, or other noncommercial call without "prior express consent" to cellular telephones. These prohibitions extend to both voice calls and text messages.
The TCPA provides a private right of action and per violation penalties. The plaintiffs' class action bar has therefore aggressively pursued TCPA class action litigation. Given the litigation costs and ambiguity of the TCPA, companies have submitted dozens of TCPA petitions seeking clarification. The CAA and GroupMe Orders provide welcome clarification for informational text messages.
The CAA and GroupMe Orders
GroupMe: GroupMe is a free social networking application that allows individuals to create and join text-based groups to communicate with one another. To comply with TCPA obligations, GroupMe's terms of service require group creators to obtain consent from other group members to receive group text messages. When an individual joins a GroupMe group, he or she receives a series of automatic administrative text messages from GroupMe about the ground and the service. In its petition, GroupMe requested that the FCC clarify that for non-telemarketing voice calls or text messages to wireless numbers, the caller can rely on a representation from an intermediary, i.e., a group creator, that he or she has obtained the requisite consent from the consumer to receive such calls or text messages. In the GroupMe Order, the FCC clarified that text-based social networks may send administrative text messages confirming consumers' interest in joining text message groups, without violating the TCPA, when consumers give express consent to participate in the group, even when that consent is conveyed to the text-based social network by an intermediary.
CAA: The Cargo Airline Association is a nationwide voice for members of the all-cargo air carrier industry, and others in the air cargo marketplace that depend on these services. In its petition, the CAA requested clarification that for non-telemarketing, informational calls related to package delivery sent via voice or text messages to wireless numbers, the package delivery company can rely upon a representation from a package sender that it has obtained the requisite consent from the consumer. In the CAA Order, the FCC granted an exemption that allows package delivery companies to alert wireless consumers about their packages subject to a set of conditions designed to protect the consumers' privacy.
Potential ramifications
Consumers are increasingly relying on smartphones for day-to-day communications, and companies want to provide better customer service by communicating with their customers through those devises.
While the CAA and GroupMe Orders are limited to their facts, they include business-friendly language that clarifies some of the uncertainty surrounding the TCPA. The GroupMe Order, for example, acknowledged that the TCPA is ambiguous with respect to how consent may be obtained and rejected claims that the TCPA requires recipients themselves to directly consent to receiving informational messages. It also includes helpful language for interpreting the meaning of "prior express consent" in the non-telemarketing context. Based on the agency's 2008 ACA Order, the FCC concluded that a consumer's "consent to be called at a number in conjunction with a transaction extends to a wide range of calls 'regarding' that transaction, even in at least some cases where the calls were made by a third party." Finally, in both decisions, the FCC agreed that the messages at issue would facilitate "normal," "expected," and "desired" communications in a manner that still preserves the intended protections of the TCPA.
In conclusion, these Orders may make it more difficult for TCPA plaintiffs that provided their wireless telephone number in connection with a transaction to argue that they did not provide "prior express consent" to receive autodialed or prerecorded telephone calls or text messages related to the transaction, whether from a party to the transaction or from a related third party.

Advertisements claim testosterone supplements can improve libido and energy levels for aging men. While it is true that testosterone levels drop as part of the normal aging process, the need for supplements is not clear. Experts are not even sure if the normal testosterone drop is good or bad. In addition, normal levels are difficult to determine because testosterone is different during stress, exercise, and time of day.
A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association , reports that oral testosterone supplementation does not improve muscle strength, overall physical ability, intellectual function, bone mineral density, or quality of life in healthy men aged 60-80 years.
About the Study
The researchers studied the effects of testosterone therapy in a trial of 237 healthy men aged 60-80 years. The men were divided into two groups. One group received testosterone undecenoate 80 mg tablets, while the second group received a placebo (fake pill). Both groups took their pill twice daily for six months.
The men underwent many tests to determine the effect of the medication:
- Overall physical ability was tested with a timed get up and go test, and hand and leg strength tests.
- Intellectual ability was tested on eight different instruments.
- Bone mineral density of the hip and lumbar spine (low back) was performed with a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan .
- Body fat and lean tissue percentages were determined with a total body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and abdominal ultrasound of fat mass.
- Quality of life was assessed with a survey.
- Metabolic risk factors were assessed with blood tests for cholesterol, blood sugar, and insulin.
- Prostate health was assessed with serum prostate-specific antigen level, ultrasonographic prostate volume, and international prostate symptom score.
- Overall safety of the medication was followed with blood tests for liver and kidney function.
- After 207 men (87% of total) completed the trial there was no significant differences between testosterone and placebo groups in muscle strength and physical ability, intellectual function, bone mineral density, and quality of life. However, the testosterone group had increased lean body mass, decreased fat mass, and improved insulin sensitivity. Unfortunately, the testosterone group also had worsening of factors related to heart disease risk: decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol), increased blood pressure, and increased incidence of metabolic syndrome . There were no adverse effects on the prostate detected by this study.
How Does This Affect You?
Testosterone therapy is definitely recommended for patients with congenital or acquired primary hypogonadism (the testicles fail to produce testosterone). This study was specifically looking for effects of testosterone therapy in healthy men with low but still active testosterone production.
There are many studies with contradictory results regarding quality of life and safety of testosterone supplementation in healthy men. Those that discourage testosterone use in healthy men are concerned over the effect on prostate and prostate cancer which has not been studied enough. While this study revealed no prostate problems from testosterone, the participants did have some worsening of risk factors for heart disease including worsened cholesterol profiles and increased blood pressure. This study reinforces the importance of checking with your doctor before taking any medication or supplement.

Powerboat races return to Lake Koshkonong
NEWVILLE—It's getting late in the year for the usual buzz and whine of squadrons of personal watercraft and ski boats on Lake Koshkonong. But that doesn't mean the lake near Newville will be quiet this weekend.
For the first time since the 1950s, nationally sanctioned powerboat racing is returning to Lake Koshkonong.
Organizers for the Badger State Outboard Association, an affiliate of the American Power Boat Association, say they're bringing in more than 60 hydroplane powerboat racers from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan for races at the lake all day Saturday and Sunday.
Spectators can watch the races from the water or for free from seats along the beach at Lakeview Bar and Campground, where the race's one-mile, oval-shaped watercourse will be buoyed off.�
The course's "hot pit," a starting line, which boat racers cross at speeds up to 85 miles per hour, will be on the water right in front of the beach, organizers said.
If you're new to hydroplane powerboat racing, Badger State Outboard Association boat-racer Ryan Burdick says you'll see:
- Racers kneeling in the single, open cockpits of low-slung, fiberglass boats which measure 9 to 13 feet long.
- Boats that look similar to wheel-less Indy-style race cars with small, modified outboard motors flying around the watercourse at full speed. At any given time, just 4 to 6 inches of the back ends of the watercrafts contact the water. They literally hydroplane.
- Racers using their own weight and body English to maneuver the boats around turns and over wave chop amid a field of powerboats buzzing along, just a foot or two from each other.����
"In these little boats, it feels like you're doing well over 100 and to the spectator it looks just as fast. It's exhilarating," Burdick said.
�A commercial jet pilot from Delavan, the 33-year-old Burdick has been racing boats since he was eight years old and is racing this weekend at the lake. The races Saturday and Sunday, include age classes for youths to adults in their 60s, Burdick said.
The event, which organizers say will wrap up the national powerboat-racing season, could become an annual season finale boat race at the lake and a new, late-season draw for lake tourists.
"The business association is making an effort to extend the tourism season later into the fall. We want to give people something more to do, to keep coming back," said Jim Bowers, a race organizer for one of its sponsors, the Rock-Koshkonong Business Association.
"When you have a year like this, when it was so cold and wet in the spring and early summer—the lake tourism industry, the businesses, they really need a draw. That's what these late-season events are about," Bowers said.�
For years, the lake had powerboat races at Newville. Boats would race on a course that passed underneath the low-hanging Highway 59 Bridge. Jerry Richardson, a manager at Harbor Recreation at Newville, said the races stopped because it was too dangerous to have boats flying beneath the bridge.
Bowers said the lake's business association approached the Badger State Outboard Association, which used to race on the Rock River near downtown Beloit, and negotiated the group wanted to hold its season-ending race at Lake Koshkonong.
Lake Koshkonong has a reputation for being unpredictable. A north wind can whip up whitecaps on the lake in a hurry. Organizers said they chose a spot for the race's watercourse that's relatively protected from wind by a ridge and has a relatively low amount of wave- producing boat traffic.��
The forecast calls for sunny weather in the 70s with light winds this weekend. Bowers said organizers and racers will just have to wait and see how the lake responds.
"This year is a test run, so we'll see how well it works. Hopefully, we can turn the lake into the spot for this an annual event—just keep it coming back, and keep those tourists coming back," Bowers said.

Forsyth County Animal Control has a variety of wonderful companion animals waiting to share a lifetime of love with you and your family. Adopting a pet is a big step in your life and in the pet's life as well. You will be choosing a companion with whom you can expect to spend the next decade or more. Our adoption procedures are designed to help place the right animal in just the right home.
The selection of pets available for adoption changes on a daily basis, and this website listing is updated every night. If you see an animal you are interested in adopting, please print the Detail Report or write down the Animal ID number and come to the Shelter as soon as possible! For fees and other information, please read our Adoption Procedures.
Many of the animals in the adoption program came to the shelter as strays, meaning we don't know their behavioral background or breed information. Each animal in adoption has been evaluated for the positive behavior traits we need to see in adoptable pets before they are placed in adoption. However, the breed/breeds listed for the dogs are often educated guesses. Some of them, patricularly if they are purebred, are easy to identify; others are not. Puppies are the hardest to identify if we don't know their background, because they change so much in their first year. We can make no guarantees about size of breed in these cases.

Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen: Zum Wohl!
Paulaner Brauerei (Brewery) first opened its doors in 1634, the same year that the citizens of Boston purchased (for 30 pounds!) the land that became Boston Common, the country's first public park. Like many breweries in Europe, this one was founded by monks – in this case, the Minim friars of the Cloister Neudeck ob der Au. The brewery was named after St. Francis of Paola, the founder of the Minim Order.
The Paulaner Brewery is located in Munich, the capital of Bavaria and longtime home to Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest is a sixteen day festival with attendance ranging in the millions, attracting natives and foreigners alike. Chickens and whole oxen are roasted on spits, char-grilled mackerel are a specialty and, of course, there is the beer. Only beer from Munich breweries is permitted at the festival.
Oktoberfest finds its origins in a five-day festival that kicked off on October 15, 1810, the day when Crown Prince Ludwig of Wittelsbach married Therese Charlotte of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Bavaria became a kingdom in 1806 and Ludwig's wedding was the first opportunity local royalty had to introduce some pomp and circumstance. Since that first festival, Oktoberfest has only been canceled 24 times, due to insurmountable obstacles such as war, hyper-inflation or cholera.
Bavaria lends its own unique terroir to beer. Water, comprising roughly 90% of any brew, is always crucial to flavor and, in the Munich area, the water is sourced from a strata of the earth that is generally inaccessible. About 65 million years ago, tectonic plate activity led to the creation of the Molasse basin, a sedimentary deposit at the foot of the Alps. Consisting of clay, sand and gravel it can be up to 16,250 feet underground. However, near Munich the strata above the basin are shallow and the upper Molasse basin is accessed at depths of 325-975 ft. Generally not used for everyday drinking water, this fresh water source is, however, tapped by breweries. The water is soft and has lower levels of calcium and magnesium salts than the "hard" water found in the Alps, making it ideal for beer brewing.
To me, this beer is what Oktoberfest tastes like, especially when you drink it with some roasted or grilled game meats. Balance means different things on different continents, and thus, the balance of this beer is between malt and grain, without much to offer in the way of hops, which is true to the Märzen style. It is sweet without seeming so, with a subtle grassyness and a clean dry finish. Easy to drink and meant to be consumed in quantity, it is perfect for that last BBQ of summer or first BBQ of autumn.
Note: this year, Oktoberfest goes from September 17 through October 3.

My patients benefit from psychotherapy with me because I show them not only how to feel better but get better. Getting better means learning how they make themselves upset and how to stop doing this even when life and people are blocking them. I teach skills for directly changing self-defeating behavior. I give patients tools for self-direction and emotional responsibility. I send my patients emails to prompt them to think differently between sessions. I help them to transfer the skills I teach from my office to their home and work environments. I teach people how to maintain and extend treatment gains so that they do not need to be in psychotherapy forever.

I often say that if you don't like therapy or your therapist, this is a pretty good indicator that you do not have the right therapist. This isn't to say that therapy is always comfortable or fun, but therapy should be an overall positive experience. I use evidenced based techniques in my practice, included CBT, DBT and mindfulness. However, the most important aspect of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. I aspire to create a safe space of my clients to share their struggles. You are the expert on your life. In therapy, my job is to create and hold space for you to process your past and current experiences, forgive others and yourself and provide tools for you to do that.

Therapy can provide the opportunity to express and process emotions in order to understand the root of a problem as well as create the possibility for lasting positive change. Therapy can also be a safe place where not only can you learn about who you are, you can come to understand what you want for your life. Therapy can help you make sense out of the loss and past traumas as well as a place to give voice and understand better our story and the meaning we make from that story we want to tell to others about our life and who we are.

Ever wonder why you think or respond a certain way? Through the process of psychotherapy, you can learn why you think , react and respond the way you do. Oftentimes our reactions to situations are grounded in our family of origin. Family of origin is just a fancy way of saying our parents and other role models made an impression on us that, as adults, impacts our current relationships and self worth. By learning why you respond a certain way in a particular situation, you can create new ways of interacting with the world.

I believe that the quality of your life depends on the quality of your relationships with yourself and the most important people in your life. I am very skilled in helping people to change the way they think about themselves, by gaining personal insight into what is preventing them from attaining the personal growth they wish to achieve. I am especially skilled in self-empowerment, and helping people to take their lives to a whole new level to create lasting change.

Sometimes it can be difficult to fully grasp who we are and how we became to be. Past trauma, loss, negative patterns, anxiety, etc., all have lasting impacts on who we are and how we function. I provide therapy that can help you gain better insight into your current troubles by often, sifting through past events. I offer psychotherapy with a strength-based approach; there is good in all of us and we are all capable of being who/what we desire. Therapy can be vulnerable and therefore, I am empathic and offer a safe and confidential environment.

Hall of fame inductee Joe Dye transformed Parker football
JANESVILLE—Joe Dye holds no grudges against his doubters. There were far too many of them to take it personally more than two decades later, and some of them came from far too close to home.
Dye was an assistant coach for the Janesville Parker High football team in the 1980s and early '90s. He recalls a certain car ride home from one of many losses. His son, Jeff, told him, "I hate Parker; Parker always loses."
In 1993, Dye was hired to take over the program as head coach, and he heard from plenty of others.
"They've never won there; you'll never win there," he was told.
Dye spent 19 years as Parker's head football coach, taking the Vikings from a 3-51 record in the six seasons leading up to his hiring to being five-time Big Eight Conference champions. He also guided the Parker boys track and field team to multiple dual-meet and conference-meet titles and coached three WIAA state champions before retiring in 2013.
Now in his third year as Parker's athletic director, Dye was a no-doubt selection for the Janesville Sports Hall of Fame. He'll join Shawn Fredricks, Joe Kaster, George Lynch and Eric Burdette in being inducted during a ceremony Saturday, May 10, at the Janesville Country Club.
"He always exuded the highest character and the highest level of integrity," Middleton head football coach Tim Simon said. "Good games, bad games, wins, losses, during the season or out of season, he never varied from that.
"If you have a son that plays football, you want that son to be coached by Joe Dye. You want that son to be running track for Joe Dye. If you have a kid taking math class, you want Joe Dye teaching that class, pure and simple."
The foundation for Dye's success was a tenacious work ethic. He credits his father and grandfather, the latter of whom he spent childhood summers with on a Missouri farm, with instilling that drive.
Dye described himself as an average or even below-average high school athlete at Beloit Turner. But his experiences there—learning from his friend's father who was the athletic director and from his teachers and coaches—gave him the desire to teach and coach.
"I wanted to have a great part in it because I just saw the relationships you can build with kids," Dye said. "You can talk about curriculum or you can talk about mechanics, but sooner or later, the kids who are playing want to know that we care about kids.
"I could never say thank you loud enough, in a large enough public arena, to the people that partnered with me as we built our programs at Parker High School."
While Beloit was home growing up, Dye never had specific designs on returning to the area. He met his wife, Janis, also a longtime educator, at UW-Whitewater, and the two moved to Menasha after graduation.
Dye coached girls track and field and latched onto head football coach Jim Corrigan and his staff as a volunteer assistant.
"I was a sponge," he said. "I went to every clinic, every football thing you can think of. Jim Corrigan won a conference championship, the only one Menasha has won in the Fox Valley. He subsequently got fired two years later."
Dye decided it was time for a change for himself, as well.
At a state football clinic, Dye found a hand-written note on a bulletin board. Parker football coach Don Barnabo was potentially looking for an assistant.
Dye joined the Vikings as an assistant coach in 1980. He took over as the head boys track and field coach in '81.
"(Speed has) kind of become vogue for people," Dye said. "There are all kinds of persons out there now that are vendors, selling the opportunity to gain athletic movement, gain speed.
"We built our whole training program based on infusing speed and athletic movement, and we never charged one kid one nickel."
It wasn't until 1993, however, that Dye finally realized his goal of becoming a head football coach.
Some in the community wondered aloud about hiring a coach from within as opposed to venturing out of district.
The process of building up the program, which had recently endured a 37-game losing streak, began immediately.
"He transferred his passion for planning and the care of the players and his desire to win to the other coaches," said Dave Figi, a longtime Dye assistant who coached Parker's sophomores. "Joe has a great sense of humor, but you can read between the lines that there are expectations. Things have to be done in a certain way.
"Joe was kind of neat in the way he organized things (with coaches). It could have been at an informal dinner or at a fast-food restaurant. I don't know when he ever slept."
The first few years were stressful. The Vikings went 2-7, then 3-9, then 2-7 again. Internally, Dye questioned whether the team was on the right track, but he never wavered.
In 1996, Parker made its first WIAA playoff appearance. The Vikings went back every year but one until Dye resigned after the 2011 season, but they won just one playoff game in the '90s.
"We learned right away that you have to ratchet it up," Dye said. "Our first few trips to Mukwonago were not fun.
"But all of the sudden, you wake up one day, and you're in a different place."
Those days came in 2000. Entering the season, a Madison newspaper listed the Big Eight Conference teams and their most recent league championships. Parker was the only team listed with "none."
After six games, the Vikings found themselves in a three-way tie in the league standings at 4-1. The next week brought a date with Big Eight power Middleton, which was a half-game ahead at 5-1.
Senior Phil Austin stunned the Cardinals with a 43-yard fake-punt scramble for a touchdown in the second quarter and kicked a 21-yard field goal with 84 seconds remaining to deliver a 16-14 victory.
"I would say the game that really turned the corner for us was our 2000 game against Middleton," Dye said. "And if there's a single play that probably made it happen, the fake punt."
Parker went on the road to Madison West and notched a 28-0 victory in Week 8, setting up a showdown with Madison La Follette. The winner between the teams with 6-1 league marks would likely share the conference crown with Sun Prairie, and Dye decided to utilize a bit of locker room inspiration.
He had managers put a sheet in every player's locker. On the sheet was the preseason graphic showing Parker as the lone team in the league never to win a conference title. It also included anecdotes about setting lofty goals rather than those that are easily attainable and a note from Dye that said, "The choice is ours!!"
Lancers running back Nate Brown had piled up 444 yards rushing in his two previous games. But the Vikings held him to 20 yards on nine carries, and Parker back Cas Prime carried a whopping 39 times for 140 yards. Parker jumped out to a 10-point lead and held on to win 17-14, delivering a share of the program's first-ever Big Eight title.
"Before the season, Joe was discouraged, and he wondered if we'd ever get it done," Figi said. "But he just kept working, and that season they were Big Eight champs. He took a group that, as sophomores, had a very below-average record, and they won. And things started to grow from there."
Dye and the Vikings proved they were no fluke. They won a Big Eight title in each of the next three seasons, as well, and again in 2006. Dye was named the league's Coach of the Year in four of those five seasons.
In 2001, the Vikings advanced all the way to the WIAA Division 1 state semifinals, but a loss to Kenosha Tremper kept them from a state berth.
Nine of Dye's football players were named Associated Press first-team all-state, and Dye was inducted into the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2007.
"He was a mentor to me and, I think, to a lot of coaches in the Big Eight," Simon said. "I'd call him for advice, things he was doing with his program, and he was always willing to share ideas and philosophies.
"He was in it for the right reasons. It was all about the kids."
Dye's track programs won Big Eight dual-meet and conference titles in 2003 and 2005.
As a teacher, he earned accolades as the Janesville School District's High School Teacher of the Year in 1999 and was a UW-Madison Rockwell Teacher of Teachers Award recipient in 2003.
Sit with him for an hour and he'll mention how blessed he was to have countless determined and committed athletes at Parker. And Dye especially relished the fact that the Vikings broke through on the football field while his son, Jeff, was in school.
His daughter, Jenni—who is engaged to marry Ben Brikowski this summer—graduated in 1999. Jeff—whose family now includes wife, Kacie, a son, Dathan, and a daughter, Avery, who was born Saturday morning—graduated in 2002 and still has the sheet he found in his locker following the victory at Madison West in 2000.
"I will never forget that time I was driving home and my son said, 'I hate Parker. Parker always loses,'" Joe Dye said. "I just vowed to myself that, if ever given a chance, I wanted to try and create a different environment for kids at Parker."
Without a doubt, he accomplished that goal.

Below are explanations of the Fast Facts that accompany our images. Not all Fast Facts will appear in every news release.
This section describes the object that is the subject of an image or science discovery. These facts include:
A name or number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. This can be a descriptive name (Crab Nebula, Whirlpool Galaxy) or an abbreviation and number (M1, NGC 1952) that reflects its designation in any one of many catalogs of astronomical objects. In those examples, for instance, the M would show that an object is listed in the Messier Catalog, while the NGC would indicate the New General Catalogue.
The type of astronomical object being presented. Astronomers classify objects according to their properties with varying levels of detail, such as star, planet, nebula, cluster, galaxy, etc. Within these broad classifications are finer divisions: spiral galaxy, elliptical galaxy, irregular galaxy, etc.
The position of the object in the sky. A celestial coordinate system maps positions in the sky similar to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. It provides a consistent way to locate celestial objects with any telescope. For objects showing substantial motion on the sky over a relatively short time, such as planets, the position — when stated — is given at the time of the observations. Positions are often not reported for moving objects.
The "epoch" of the celestial coordinates. The coordinates must refer to a particular date because they are relative to the orientation of the Earth in space. Earth's rotation axis changes over thousands of years. The measurements of an object's coordinates on the sky 100 years ago will not be identical today. J2000 refers to the coordinates based in the year 2000. Astronomers use the J2000 coordinates along with the date of observation to calculate the correct coordinates.
Right ascension is one of two coordinates (with declination) used by astronomers to locate stars and other celestial objects in the sky. Right ascension is comparable to longitude, but is measured and displayed in units of time: hours (h), minutes (m), and seconds (s) because the entire sky appears to pass overhead over a period of 24 hours. The zero hour corresponds to the apparent location of the Sun with respect to the stars at the time of the vernal (spring) equinox (approximately March 21).
Declination is one of two celestial coordinates (with right ascension) required to locate an astronomical object, such as a star, on the celestial sphere. Declination is the measure of angular distance of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator and is comparable to latitude. Declination is measured and displayed in angular units: degrees (°), minutes (') and seconds (") of arc.
Traditionally, a constellation is a pattern of stars in the sky, with names often based on mythological themes. Astronomers now divide the sky into 88 distinct constellations defined by exact boundaries. Every location on the celestial sphere falls in one of these formal constellations. Leo (the Lion) is one example of the 88 constellations formally identified by astronomers.
The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU), the average distance between the Sun and Earth, about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Distances between stars are usually measured in light years, the distance that a particle of light will travel in a year — about 6 trillion miles or 10 trillion km. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs, with one parsec equal to 3.26 light-years. For objects whose distance changes over a relatively short time, such as planets, the distance is given at the time of the observation.
This value refers to the physical size of an astronomical object and/or to the apparent angle it subtends on the sky. Because the sky appears "flat" from Earth, the apparent size of the object must be described in terms of how much of the sky it covers. To do this, astronomers split the sky into angles. The full sky is 360 degrees, or a circle. Both the Moon and Sun appear to take up the same amount of space on the sky — about 0.5 degrees, or 30 arcminutes — and thus have similar apparent sizes. When we know the distance to an object, however, we can also give a true, physical size. For instance, the physical diameter of the Moon is 2,159 miles (3,475 km), and the physical diameter of the Sun is about 870,000 miles (1.4 million km).Back to top

Watson says he won't mine gravel for Interstate expansion
MILTON— Landowner Bill Watson won't rule out gravel pits as a potential part of a 1,500-acre industrial development he plans west of Milton, but he said he doesn't plan to supply aggregate for the Interstate 90/39 expansion.
In a meeting with The Gazette editorial board Tuesday, Watson sought to quell rumors he has an ulterior motive to rezone farmland he owns west of Milton so he could immediately mine the land for sand and gravel and sell it for upcoming highway projects.
Watson told the editorial board he has drafted a letter that says he won't dig gravel pits to sell aggregate to the state for the Interstate 90/39 expansion project, which is set to begin in 2016.
"Absolutely not. I'll absolutely guarantee that," Watson said. "I've given a letter, and I'll give a letter to anybody that I'm not going to sell to the Interstate system."
�Yet the California resident who owns Janesville-based Mulder Dairy Farms said he's hesitant to make zoning agreements that would bar gravel pits in his proposed Evermor development.
Zoning that allows sand and gravel mining would be an "asset" and a "valuable tool for investment bankers" who would invest in his plans to build out large-scale industrial facilities, shipping warehouses and intermodal freight hubs west of Milton, he said.
Any gravel mining would be 30 years from now, and mining gravel now "wouldn't make economic sense," he said. Even so, he wouldn't be comfortable with zoning that shuts the door on gravel mining, he said.
"If you have that zoned for aggregate, then you have a very valuable tool with investment bankers that I can use to build a project like this. Bankers can look at that as a way they can get bailed out if your project doesn't work," Watson said. "If you say you're never going to do it, you've just wiped out the value of the asset."
It's a mixed message that's gotten residents worried. The land runs adjacent to at least a dozen farms and residences.
Watson estimated the land has at least 700 million tons of sand and gravel underneath it.
In recent weeks, he has said gravel prices are below a threshold he considers profitable, and he estimates it could be another 30 years before it could be profitable to dig gravel from the land.
Milton Mayor Brett Frazier has said he doesn't want any gravel pits developed on land annexed into the city of Milton. In the city of Milton, industrial zoning designations allow for gravel pits.
Watson has not yet requested annexation, and none of the land is in the city. Much of it falls outside of a 1.5-mile area in which the city holds an extraterritorial agreement on land use.
Watson said Tuesday that some town of Milton and town of Fulton officials have said they wouldn't oppose gravel mining on Watson's land.�
"The townships don't care what I put on it," Watson said. "The townships wanted to get a royalty on the property on the mining if it went in, but they didn't care if we mined it."
Watson said an agreement to pay mining royalties wouldn't make any sense with the current value of gravel.
"Profits are made in pennies on the aggregate business," he said.
Fulton Town Chairman Evan Sayre said Tuesday the town's stance is not that cut and dried, and no one in the town of Fulton has rubber stamped the idea of gravel pits.
"The only thing you could say about Fulton or any township is they'd have to take a long, hard look at any mine, whether you do it and how you handle reclamation and even revenue. It's the kind of thing that's going to change permanently the look and the structure of a township," Sayre said.
"Milton could wind up being just a little mushroom sitting on top of a 50-foot hole around it," he said.
Some city of Milton and town of Fulton officials have said they'd push for zoning and developer agreements that would prohibit gravel pits as part of the Evermor development.
The city of Milton has not received an annexation petition, specific project plans or re-zoning requests from Watson, and he's only supplied what he calls "generic" drawings that show the footprint of buildings he'd develop in several hundred acres adjacent to an area where Watson is proposing an interchange at County M and I-90/39.
Watson said Tuesday he's still negotiating with landowner Kerry Hull, who owns land adjacent to the proposed Evermor development area along the south end of Milton.
He's asking Hull, who is a Fulton Town Board member, to enter the annexation petition because he says Hull's land would link the development area directly to Milton city limits.
At the same time, Watson has only completed a portion of the work on an Interstate justification report he's required to submit to the state and federal government for approval of the interchange he's proposing.
If Watson seeks to get the interchange approved, it could need to happen soon. The state is within months of finalizing designs for the Interstate expansion, which would include any new interchanges.
Watson's pushing for a "diamond" interchange at the location, which he said could be put in either before or during the Interstate expansion and be made to fit the Interstate's future six-lane layout.�
Meanwhile, Watson's waiting to learn whether the towns of Milton and Fulton and the city of Milton will strike an intergovernmental agreement over zoning and taxing authority for his project.
Officials from the local municipalities have indicated they're waiting to hear more details on Watson's plans before they begin to have serious talks on tax revenue sharing or potential zoning of the property.
Watson has said he won't seek municipal incentives for infrastructure for his project and that he'd bankroll the plan, including infrastructure within the industrial area.

No-serve list part of larger police strategy to publicize names of troublemakers
JANESVILLE—Janesville police publish names of people it considers troublemakers.
Sound familiar?
The no-serve list, initiated last year, is one of a series of Janesville police initiatives different from police tactics a generation ago. Consider:
-- Digital billboard ads show people wanted by police, complete with huge mugshots.
-- Project Sober Streets is a website that maps the homes of Janesville residents who have been convicted of intoxicated driving five or more times, with the last conviction occurring within the last five years.�
-- Nixle, an app that sends notices via Twitter or email, is used by a number of local law enforcement agencies. Janesville police use it to notify subscribers of breaking news but also for "wanted" notices.
-- Sex-offender mapping, a state project, was enhanced at the urging of Janesville police to make it easier to identify neighbors who have been sex offenders.
Janesville Police Chief Dave Moore said the efforts are part of a broader policing philosophy that has gained traction nationwide in recent years. it's called problem-based policing.
"Gone are the days of just responding to the same calls over and over again and not trying get down to core issues and the core problems," Moore said.
The department works to identify problems and focus resources on those problems, Moore said.
Moore acknowledges listing names of people who have not been convicted of anything can deprive them of their privacy, but he says it's worth it in some cases to prevent crime and save tax dollars.
Other problem-oriented initiatives include closely working with neighborhood groups, officers walking beats in some areas, and liaison committees that keep communications open with African-Americans and Latinos.
For example, federal immigration agents were in Janesville last month. Typically, this prompts rumors among Latinos that make the situation larger and more sinister than it is, Moore said.
Police sent an email to the Latino advisory committee and said the federal agents had picked up a one bad guy and locked him up, Moore said. The timely information avoids distrust, Moore said.
Another way to reach out is a survey the department sent to residents five years ago. A new survey is in the works for sometime this year. Questions included how safe residents feel in the various neighborhoods.
Police learned from the first survey that many people believed police were not doing enough to address drug problems.
"We believe we were doing a lot more than the community knew," Moore said, so police now make a point of publicizing drug raids and arrests.
Previously, residents knew a lot of police showed up at a neighbor's house but not much more. Now, within a few days after a executing a search warrant, police meet with neighbors and tell them what happened, what was found, and what next steps will be, Moore said.

4tH is a Forth compiler with a little difference. Instead of the standard Forth engine it features a conventional compiler. 4tH is a very small compiler that can create bytecode, C-embeddable bytecode, standalone executables, but also works fine as a scripting language. It supports about 95% of the ANS Forth CORE wordset and features conditional compilation, pipes, files, assertions, forward declarations, enumerations, structures, suspended execution, recursion, include files, etc. It comes with an RPN calculator, line editor, preprocessor, compiler, decompiler, C-source generator, a virtual machine, and a multitasking environment.
AMC is a programmable compiler/preprocessor. It has a built-in programming language called CGL (Code Generation Language) that lets you add new syntactical elements to the source files that AMC processes. In addition, AMC has a module structure reminescent of the UCSD p-System compiler. AMC comes with a default package that adds a dynamic form of OOP to C.
ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is a language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing C++, Java, or Sather actions. It is similar to the popular compiler generator YACC, however ANTLR is much more powerful and easy to use. ANTLR-produced parsers are not only highly efficient, but are both human-readable and human-debuggable (especially with the interactive ParseView debugging tool). ANTLR can generate parsers, lexers, and tree-parsers in either C++, Java, or Sather. ANTLR is currently written in Java.
ATG Dynamo integration for JBuilder is a JBuilder 5 plugin that makes it easy to deploy J2EE applications to the ATG Dynamo Application Server version 5.1 (DAS). It can be installed and run with the other JBuilder 5 plugins such as BEA WebLogicServer 5.1, BEA WLS 6, IBM WebSphere 3.5, Borland AS 4.5, etc.

Paper Problems
The push toward digital is continuing throughout corporate America, but not all companies have made the switch from paper to a new medium, according to a new survey of U.S. managers conducted by Edelman Berland on behalf of Adobe Systems Inc. Survey participants pointed to various cons of using paper, reporting that it can complicate workflows, take up valuable office space and negatively impact the environment.
But despite the fact that almost three-quarters of survey respondents said that their life would be easier if they dealt only with digital contracts, nearly all of them said they still use paper in contracting.
56% Respondents who said that the risk of losing paper contracts was the primary negative of using paper
61% Managers who said that working digitally saves money
98% Survey participants who still use paper in transactions involving contracts
Climbing Confidence
Law firm managing partners are growing more confident in the economic climate, but worries still persist about rising expenses and continuing discount pressure, according to the Law Watch Managing Partner Confidence Index survey from Citi Private Bank.
The 76 managing partners surveyed expressed increased confidence in the economy as a whole, and the vast majority also predicted future revenue gains. But the respondents remained concerned that their clients would continue to push for more discounted services.
18 Point increase in managing partners' overall confidence in the economy between the third and fourth quarters of 2012
85% Managing partners who anticipate future revenue growth
43% Respondents who predicted that discounting pressure would increase modestly
72% Respondents who expect expenses to rise somewhat
Depressing Data
This week, the American Bar Association (ABA) released data on the employment status of 2012 law school graduates. This is the second year in which the ABA has required law schools to report more detailed employment numbers for inclusion in the survey.
And while last year's graduates had more luck landing full-time, long-term positions than their 2011 counterparts, the numbers didn't exactly paint a rosy picture of the post-grad employment landscape.
56.2% 2012 graduates who have full-time, long-term positions that required bar passage
54.9% 2011 graduates who secured such positions
10.6% 2012 grads who are unemployed and still seeking work, up 1.4 percent from 2011
Soaring Settlements
When it comes to securities class action settlements, 2012 was about quality—not quantity. The number of overall settlements decreased between 2011 and last year, but total settlement amounts increased by more than 100 percent over the same time period, owing largely to a rise in blockbuster settlements of more than $100 million.
Most of that settlement cash came from the financial services industry, followed by the technology and pharmaceutical sectors. Read on for more data:
53 Court-approved securities class action settlements in 2012, the lowest number in 14 years
$54.7 million Average settlement amount in 2012, up from $21.6 million the previous year
74% Percentage of total 2012 settlement dollars that came from settlements in excess of $100 million
Wage Woes
Companies dropped more cash on wage and hour settlements in 2012 than they did the previous year, according to a new report from National Economic Research Associates (NERA). The total amount that companies paid out last year came in slightly higher than the five-year average of $455 million, which NERA primarily attributes to a wage and hour settlement between Novartis Pharmaceuticals and 7,000 of its employees.
Although companies paid more on average to resolve cases in 2012 than they did in 2011, the amount was still significantly lower than the five-year average of $7.5 million.
102 Total settled wage and hour cases in 2012, down slightly from 107 the previous year
$467 million Total amount that companies paid in wage and hour settlements last year, up 18 percent from 2011
$4.8 million Average amount that companies paid to resolve a case in 2012, up from $4.6 million in 2011
$1,300 Average settlement value per plaintiff, down from $1,500 in 2011
