Hi Everyone!
Since we started the new GDS Challenge Posting Bonus Program a few months ago, the posting bonuses have been a surprise.
Well how would you like to get a peek at this month's posting bonuses?
I think we should, don't you...
Just a little background first... The process is fairly simple. Our Designer, Created by Jill provides a palette and theme each month and our Designers volunteer to create mini kits for each GDS Challenge. The minikits all coordinate so all the participants of the GDS Challenges receive a huge collab if they complete all the challenges
And... if you didn't complete the challenges, no worries.. the pieces for the entire collab go on sale in the GDS store after the month's challenges are completed. You can find them here so you never miss out on our GDS's Design Team's awesome products!
The name of this month's Challenge Collab is "Boys, Boys, Boys"
Here the peek!
And that's not all of them!
Are you liking these?
If yes... you still have time to get in on the GDS Challenges! So, get to scrappin and lets see those beautiful keepsake pages!
Happy Scrapping Everyone!

Their mission: to create innovative high performance gear that reflects a love of adventure and devotion to the outdoors. Osprey Packs began setting a high bar for backpack makers in 1974 in Cortez, Colorado. They've since expanded to include a design studio in Mill Valley, California, and moved pack production to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. And through it all, the founder and head designer Mike Pfotenhauer has ensured that Osprey packs are still every bit as good as they have been from day one. He lives with his family in Vietnam, taking a hands-on approach to quality control and ensures fair labor standards throughout the production process.
Most of us know Osprey for their bombproof packs – which could easily survive a lifetime of UV on the trails and a few tumbles down granite scree fields. Ergonomic, fully-featured and roomy, these packs have earned a well-deserved place in our hearts. Over the years Osprey has expanded their lineup to include an array of sport-specific collections that are as deep as they are wide – each style is usually offered in a few sizes so you always get exactly what you're after. If you're looking to add a few more Osprey pieces to that tried and true Osprey Impala in you got for your first backpacking trip, check out their proud array:
Leading the charge for more comfortable backpacking, Osprey's very first pack had revolutionary breathable mesh. They're staying on top with other game-changing technologies like custom molded BioForm hipbelts, AirScape Backpanels, adjustable shoulder harnesses to fit any torso length and trekking pole attachment loops for storage on the move.
Using gender specific design and components, Osprey has a pack line for everyone. Here are a few of our favorite backpacking packs for men, women and kids:
These do-it-all multi-use packs are perfect for an overnight trip or a quick peak assault:
Thru hikers and ultralight backpackers rejoice, the superlight Osprey Exos and Hornet packs are back:
For adventures on two wheels, Osprey has a well rounded collection of bike specific packs, whether you're a daily bike commuter, you take on the single track on your weekends or you're headed out for an all-day ride in the woods. The Osprey Verve and Viper Packs are perfect for a few hours of riding. They come with a HydraForm Reservoir and have room for a few tools and an extra layer. Your bike commute just got a lot easier thanks to the comfort-focused and feature-rich design of the Osprey Metron and Momentum Backpacks. And if it's style you want, the retro-inspired FlapJack and FlapJill Packs are worthy of any single speed road warrior.
World travelers know they need luggage they can depend on, from tossing it on top of a bedazzled bus, to bumping it down cobbled alleyways, to hoisting it up to the 10th floor when the elevator breaks down. The Osprey Vector is wheeled for easy rolling and keeps your rig lightweight, while the Sojourn Wheeled Convertible Pack rolls like luggage and can be carried on your back when you deploy the stow-away shoulder straps. The Osprey Waypoint and Farpoint packs combine the comfort of a long haul hiker with the travel-friendly design of a sturdy duffle bag.
You may have little ones now but that won't slow you down on the trails when you're carrying your kid in the Osprey Poco Child Carrier Pack. These kid haulers are designed with an adjustable harness to fit any torso length, an adjustable saddle to fit any size kid, and a cushy, well-ventilated carry system to keep you hiking comfortably for miles. The hydration sleeve helps keep you both hydrated, and while the Poco Premium comes with a sunshade and a rain cover, you can purchase these add-ons for the Poco if you want to start with the basic model.
So many Osprey Packs to choose from -- good thing there are millions of trails out there to keep you busy. Let us know what you think the best Osprey pack is by writing a review of your favorite.
Happy Trails!
We're Available:
Mon-Fri: 7:30am-4:00pm PST

Warhammer Online Ships September 18By Maarten Goldstein, Aug 06, 2008 4:00am PDT
Ready or not, Electronic Arts today announced that Mythic Entertainment's newest MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will launch September 18.
The publisher also announced that a monthly subscription will cost $14.99 USD, with slight discounts available when signing up for 3- ($41.97 / $13.99 per month) or 6 month ($77.94 / $12.99 per month) periods.
"The countdown has officially begun. Mark your calendars! September 18th is the Day of Reckoning," said Mythic founder Mark Jacobs. He added, "For the last three years, the entire team at Mythic has poured their hearts into making Warhammer Online the next great MMORPG. We are so excited to open up this world and share it with the fans that will live in it, quest in it, go to war in it and make it come alive."
Mythic recently announced it had cut several cities and player classes from the game out of quality concerns.

By: Derringer x Show Full PostI am a huge fan of Warhammer, but I'm realistic. WoW is untouchable and as long as the server I'm on in War has a good population for lots of RvR I'd be happy even it didn't dethrone WoW.
I am also biased because I always loved the Warhammer universe.
Also, something of note that's interesting is that Warhammer is outselling WotLK on Amazon, even though ti's Amazon, it at least shows there's a lot of interest.
Also, the 60k Collector's Editions are sold out, so that's pretty good for them.

By: xcalibur19 x Show Full PostThe fact that beta is still closed and the NDA is still in effect does not bode well, imho. If you know your product is solid and ready for primetime, you will want everyone seeing it and talking about is as much as possible. Look at WoW... every release they have had from the original game up to WOLK now, they have lifted the NDA several months in advance, because they knew they had a killer product.
I am holding out hope for WAR, as I loved the RVR in DAOC. But I fear that it wil get crushed under the giant, crushing foot of WOLK (which looks very cool).

Agree there. : illwill18
By: finger x Show Full PostI think that this game was developed under the impression that WoW doesn't ever change.
It does.
The Burning Crusade changed so much about the original game, and the new expansion is set to change even more. Sure, the basic mechanics are still the same; fire mages still cast Fireball in end-game raiding like they did before, things like that. But those basics are the foundation, and everything else changes with a new WoW expansion. It's not just a few new places to go kill stuff - or, it isn't for anyone who plays more than 10-12 hours a week.
I imagine that Warhammer will be moderately successful and will likely do better than Conan did, but it's all about what they can do to keep people at the end-game interested. Conan didn't do much at that level at all, even with all of their PvP action - but that's mostly because Conan's PvP was fairly poorly designed and still overall an afterthought rather than a basis for the game.Aug 06, 2008 9:43am PDT
By: Lukiopimp x Show Full PostI was expecting WAR to launch in Spring 2009, as it still is very far away from looking and playing in a "productive" state.
Q:Is this EA putting the hammer on Mythic to get it out before WotLK or why first remove 4 cities and classes (some that have been around since the beginning of development) and then jump to a early fall release date? I smell another rushed game that has EAids.Aug 06, 2008 8:43am PDT

I usually write a clever headline, but there just isn't one for this story.
Any turn of phrase based on the unique situation of Zach Hodskins would be inappropriate. Zach happens to have only one full arm. Zach also now has a spot on the University of Florida basketball team.
This is another one of those moments when I am reminded that I shouldn't complain about any inconvenience or lament those who have it better than I do. I am reminded of Pete Gray and Jim Abbott, who each chased the Field of Dreams and made it to the majors in baseball. Maybe one day we'll see Zach Hodskins in the Final Four and perhaps the NBA.

I am going out on a limb here, and suggest that not everybody who reads this has graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in one or more of the ag sciences, and therefore might not be fully versed in the glorious history of the "Pioneer Land Grant College (now University)" The fact is, some of the stories and anecdotes in the just-published catalog about AG EXPO, 2013 on campus July 16,17,& 18, may come as surprises to some of those generally quite knowledgeable.
At the front of the catalog, there's a letter, signed by CANR Dean Fred Poston, MSU Extension Director Tom Coon, and Doug Buhler, Director of the MSU AgBioResearch division. That letter lists a number of the major accomplishments that are among the biggest discoveries in the history of food science and agricultural production, such as Malcolm Trout's process of homogenizing milk, the hybridization of corn by William Beal, and the pioneering horticultural work of Liberty Hyde Bailey and early consumer advocate Robert C. Kedzie's work organizing the forerunner of MSU Extension in 1876.
Not so far back as that, in the mid-1970s as I recall, what is now Ag Expo got its start with a County Extension Director on the eastern side of Michigan, who put together a Corn/Soybean Expo. Within a few years, he was summoned to campus to put together what we now know as Ag Expo.
This year, as always, there will be elements of production agriculture that have been with us forever, as well demonstrations and representations of the absolutely newest, most far-ranging, most sophisticated of new ways of doing things, old and new. For example, one that I plan to hit, just because I've always had a warm spot in my heart for horses, is one of the daily tours of the MSU Horse Teaching & Research Center. There'll be demonstrations and discussions on general horse care. MSU, by the way, maintains the third-longest continuing Arabian breeding herd in the United States.
There's a jam-packed two-page listing of learning possibilities for the single-crop backyard gardener and for the contract producer, and for those in between. Unique and amazing wheelchairs will be demonstrated for wheelchair-bound farmers; another demo will cover tools for farming in spite of injury, illness, or pain; tomato gardening can be rewarding, or frustrating, or a combination--you can find out how to deal with it. How about backyard bee-keeping? Want to try it - - or just explore it? It's at Ag Expo.
We hear from time to time about farming running head-on into urbanization - - or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway, Ag Expo exposes the Michigan Agricultural Mediation program. It's all about resolving issues on agreeable terms.
Maybe we ought to talk to the folks in Extension about extending that mediation concept to our legislators in Washington. They've not shown us much by way of resolving issues.

At Dingo Brands, we live by a few rules inspired by the selfless nature of the dogs we serve. Behold the Golden Rules of Dingo:
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Dingo Goof Balls Chicken & Rawhide Chews Small 4 Pack 1.3 oz. (36 g)
Dingo Goof Balls Chicken & Rawhide Chew offers the same great taste as the original Meat in the Middle Rawhide Chews, but in a fun and playful shape dogs can't resist! Dogs love the great taste of Dingo rawhide chews with Real Chicken in the Middle. Dingo Rawhide Chews are made with the highest quality ingredients to give your dog a fun and delicious treat that is bursting with flavor! Dingo combines the tasty quality of Real Meat Jerky wrapped with the highest quality natural rawhide that is healthy and fun to chew - Dingo rawhide helps promote clean teeth and gums. 9 out of 10 dogs prefer Dingo brand treats over standard rawhide chews. Dingo Rawhide Chews are so unique, they're patented.
The idea for knotting a rolled sheet of rawhide is over 30 years old. Originally it was used as an entertainment toy or as a tool for redirecting the instinctive chewing urge of a dog. There is still no other product tough enough to withstand vigorous canine chewing, soft enough not to damage teeth and yet be highly digestible. With the advent of modern soft food diets, chews have played a greater role in ensuring that dogs get effective teeth cleaning and gum conditioning.
The rawhide bone has worked well for many years, but it still has no or only limited appeal to a significant number of dogs. About 40% of dogs do not find rawhide appealing. Numerous attempts to improve on this age-old bone have included synthetic plastics and polymer substitutes that are essentially tasteless, odorless and indigestible.
Les got the idea to improve the rawhide chew after making a special two-in-one chew for his dog Dingo. This unique chew consisted of rawhide on the outside and REAL MEAT jerky on the inside. Les, with the help of other people, decided to market this new kind of rawhide chew and named it...Dingo. This new chew fully satisfies a dog's chew instinct while being biodegradable and safely digested by dogs. In 1997 Dingo Brand, LLC was granted a US Patent for the single most logical improvement on the rawhide dog chew in 30 years... a superior treat-within-a-treat product that combines the individual advantages of delicious real meat jerky and rawhide in a single chew.
You didn't need to be a "Rocket Scientist" to know that a dog would choose this bone over any other simply due to it's great taste, but just the same, the product was put to the test.

Tastes Like Chicken: Because It Is
From Soup to Rooster Fries
When I moved into my house just outside Concord in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was intent on being a gentleman, quasi-hippie, organic farmer. I immediately rented a tiller and started a quarter acre organic garden. The folks who lived there before me had apparently at one time raised chickens. There were "wild" chickens roaming about the property and roosting in trees at night. They laid eggs under bushes in out of the way places. None of them ever survived. Various varmints would get to the eggs and devour them. I decided I wanted to raise chickens in a more controlled environment where I would have access to the eggs.
For me, anyway, the question as to which came first the chicken or the egg is a moot or, more precisely, a cluck point. It was chicks for me, baby chicks, that is. Ain't nothing cuter. I ordered a couple of dozen through the mail. Rhode Island Reds and Barred Plymouth Rocks – all hens, of course. Both breeds lay brown eggs. And their eggs are larger than the white Leghorn eggs. The girls are nearly twice as large as Leghorns – six or seven pounds.
This was when I was young and energetic and as idealistic as I have ever been. It was the 70's and I was in the Bay Area. I owned and operated a restaurant in Oakland, California at the time. And, later opened Mudd's for Virginia Mudd, as executive chef.
I bought a couple of books on organic chicken raising and studied them. While they were small I kept the chicks in the house in a plastic wading pool. Had feeders, waterers heat lamps etc. Lots of contented peeping going on.
Meanwhile I was building a chicken house and yard in my back yard. This involved lots of 2x4's, scrap lumber, plywood, tar paper and lots of chicken wire and cursing. I ciphered the square footage so as to have happy hens. I attached it to my Quonset hut. (Yes, I had a Quonset hut.) . Chickens will never roam vary far from their house. The only reason I had a fenced in yard was to protect the chickens from predators – mostly neighborhood dogs. Oh, and don't even ask me about my Lop-eared rabbit fiasco!
Let me move ahead a little here…
When my girls got a little older - they had begun to lay eggs – I decided it was time to introduce them to a gentleman chicken (little did I know there was no such thing.) I've never been one who knows when to leave well enough alone. My readings indicated that fertilized eggs were lower in cholesterol. My neighbor had a small flock of Araucanas. This breed was introduced to the USA from Chile in the 1920's. There was a claim that Araucana eggs had lower cholesterol, too. This turned out to be wrong. The hens lay a light bluish or greenish egg. Now, these varmints are a smaller breed than my girls, but my neighbor assured me that would be no problem. So, one bright morning when my girls were promenading around their yard, clucking, soaking up some rays, preening, my neighbor brought over a burlap sack containing a young Araucana cock.
I opened the door to the yard and let him out of the bag. Hmmm. He was half their size. The girls stopped their contented clucking and there was dead silence. They surrounded him. One let out a squawk. There was another squawk. Then lots of squawks. No demur sotto voce here. It was like a slumber party run amok. One where all the girls were armed to the teeth and taking speed. Screeching – I didn't know chickens could screech. Then lots of dust and violence. They jumped the poor little clueless adolescent bastard. The hysterical cackling was deafening. They pecked him mercilessly. These broads were large and in charge. He fled for his life – into the chicken house. The total disaster resulting from my matchmaking attempt put me in mind of a couple of blind dates I had experienced.
I had built a roost of 2X4's in the house. There was a kind of trough underneath where I could rake out the chicken droppings from the outside by means of a small door I had inserted on the side of the house. That was I could clean without going in. Poor little bastard got in there and I could not retrieve him. He was immediately placed at the bottom of the pecking order. Yes, Virginia there is a pecking order.
There will always be a top chicken. This chicken gets the best of everything in ChickenLand. It eats first. It gets the best spot on the roost. It gets to peck all the other chickens at will. And peck they do. All the chickens get to peck anybody below them in the pecking order. And, in turn, get pecked by anybody above. The sine qua non of corporate structure. How they establish the order is somewhat opaque to us. Where there is no rooster present the Alpha Hen is in charge. Some species have more clearly defined signposts. I read about a study where these guys tried to figure out orangutan hierarchy. They finally decided the guy with the bluest ass was at the top of the heap. So they took the guy with the palest ass and painted it bright blue. (Hey, I'm just the messenger here!) Sure enough, he shot right to the top of the corporate orangutan ladder. CEO's take note.
At any rate it ain't so clear with chickens. But, what was crystal clear was my poor little guy was at the bottom. My neighbor said not to worry, we had just introduced him when he was too young to handle the girls. A kind of chicken version of an acne-ridden, squeaky voiced gawky tweener. He said he'd wait about a month and bring me a mature rooster. I said okay - somewhat skeptically, though.
A month later…
Another bright, crisp day and my neighbor shows up with another burlap sack. I am dubious. For one thing I've recently read that one rooster can only comfortably handle 7 or 8 hens. I'm thinking even a big super stud like Foghorn Leghorn or Rhode Island Red might well be over matched here. And I'm going to get another 4-pound weakling – my girls will just kick sand in his face. I am having thoughts of one of my favorite Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. The Dog ("I say, Dog…) has just tricked him into going through a hay baler. He comes out the other end buck naked, completely plucked, carrying a large, neat bale of all his feathers. In typical, optimistic Foghorn fashion he turns to the camera and says, ""Fortunately, ah keep mah feathers numbahed for just such occasions." The boy I had introduced earlier to do a man's job had no such numbering system and was looking pretty plucked. I really feared for the new guy in town.
With much trepidation I once again entered the yard with the sack. The girls stopped what they were doing and looked at me with those cocked heads and sideways glances with jerky head bobbing. I let him out and backed out of the yard fearing the worst. They gathered round him and sized him up. He was nearly twice as big as his predecessor, but still much smaller than the girls. The squawk! The horror! They jumped! There was a huge pile of dust and the scuffle was on. It was truly Wagnerian.
When the dust had lifted I saw what had occurred. Casey was swinging for the fences - only connecting this time. Much to my amazement, they had fled, almost as one – well all but one – to the fenced sides of the chicken yard. They cowered – or chickened - there with much cackling, squawking and flapping of wings. He was on top of the one doing what roosters do. The cackling was subsiding. He proceeded to go around the yard kicking ass, taking names and boinking them one by one. That day everybody moved down one in the pecking order. There was a new sheriff in town.
My girls were content. During the season they laid an egg a day each. I had more than I could eat or use at the restaurant. I had dozens in my refrigerator in the Quonset hut. All was as peaceful as it ever gets in ChickenLand.

Detroit police are looking for a gunman after two people are shot and killed on Meyers. One of the victims is a woman who was 9-months-pregnant. The baby and a third shooting victim, an elderly man, survived.
Click on the video player to watch Randy Wimbley's report.
Police are not saying what may have been the suspect's motive or the circumstances surrounding the shooting on the city's west side. But, they're pulling out all the stops to try and find the man who pulled the trigger.
We saw investigators combing the scene of the triple shooting that left a young man and a pregnant 23-year-old woman dead. Her baby survived; a baby girl born the day her mother was murdered. A 75-year-old man was critically injured. Police say it's likely the gunman knew the victims. All three victims are related.
Police are looking for a 2006 silver Pontiac G6, which was likely stolen from the scene. Michigan license plate number: CLB-3064. The back window of the vehicle was broken out. Investigators are also looking for black man in his early to mid 20's with a slight build who may be behind the wheel.

Some Quick Takes on Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Deep Purple And Thin Lizzy
Sunday, October 14, 2012
Tom Petty's eBay auction for his 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible is now running, with all proceeds going to benefit Doctors Without Borders. Petty explained in the auction's press release, "I have so many great memories associated with this car. When I began dating Dana (my wife) I asked her what her favorite car was. So, I phoned the office and said I wanted a Champagne convertible Jaguar XJS. The next day they delivered it to my house and showed me how everything worked and I took it for a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway. I was in heaven, as was Dana. This car has such and incredible design. My favorite car I ever owned. We sure are going to miss it."
The auction wraps on Sunday, October 21st at 2 p.m. PDT.
Doctors Without Border is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. It provides "independent, impartial assistance in more than 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters."
Coming on December 4th will be the 35th Anniversary Edition of Eric Clapton's 1977 classic album, Slowhand. In addition to a remastered version of the album, which contained such favorites as "Cocaine," "Wonderful Tonight," "Lay Down Sally," and "The Core," the set will feature four previously unreleased bonus tracks: "Looking At The Rain," "Alberta," "Greyhound Bus Stars," and "Strays And Ashtrays."
The set also includes a bonus disc capturing Clapton and his band in concert on April 27th, 1977 at London's Hammersmith Odeon, performing such Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & The Dominos, covers, and solo gems as "Hello Old Friend," "Sign Language," "Alberta," "Tell The Truth," Knockin' On Heaven's Door," "Steady Rolling Man," "Can't Find My Way Home," "Further On Up the Road," "Stormy Monday," "Badge," "Nobody Knows You (When You're Down And Out)," "I Shot The Sheriff," "Layla," and "Key To The Highway."
Slowhand is being released in five formats: CD - Original album remastered; Two CD Deluxe Edition; LP - Original album remastered; Three CD / One Audio DVD / one LP Super Deluxe Edition, and as a Digital Download. (Vintage Vinyl News)
Add Deep Purple co-founder Ritchie Blackmore to the list of rockers who have no interest in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The guitarist, who left Deep Purple for the final time back in 1993 and now performs with girlfriend Candice Night in the folk duo, Blackmore's Night, said of the Rock Hall: "Personally, I couldn't care less. I would never go. I'm not really a fan of that stuff. Considering some of the people that are in the Hall of Fame, I'm not sure if it's a good idea, so I don't care one way or the other, actually.. . . I think our fans seem to care more than I do. They're always saying, 'You should be in the Hall of Fame. You should be in this, you should be in that. . .' If I can pay the bills, that's all I care about." (Billboard)
Thin Lizzy leader and guitarist Scott Gorham announced via the band's Facebook page that they are scrapping plans for a new album under the Thin Lizzy name, claiming that they group is doing so in respect to founder Phil Lynott, who died in 1986 -- and despite the fact that they've been touring with various lineups since 1996. Gorham posted: "Out of respect to Phil Lynott and the legacy he created, we have decided that we should not release a new album under the Thin Lizzy name. It was a very difficult decision as we put a lot of time and effort into re-building the Thin Lizzy brand over recent years. . . Releasing a new album was the only way to continue this success. We all know how much Phil meant to this band and the fans. We will release this material soon and you will be hearing some great new music with the classic Thin Lizzy sound intact. We will announce future plans early in the New Year."

From WENN.com
Argo screenwriter Chris Terrio and authors Joshuah Bearman and Tony Mendez will share the prestigious Scripter prize, which is handed out annually to the writers behind the best book-to-film adaptation.
Bearman wrote the original 2007 Wired magazine article which inspired Argo, while former CIA agent Mendez's memoir Master of Disguise was also used for the film.
Bearman accepted the prize during a ceremony in the Edward L. Doheny Memorial Library at the University of Southern California, seeing off competition from Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pi, Beasts of the Southern Wild and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
It was a great weekend for Affleck and Argo - the star won honours for Best Film and Best Director at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Film Awards in London on Sunday night (10Feb13).
Previous winners of the Scripter Award include The Descendants and The Social Network.

David Yurman uses color fearlessly, combining gemstones in unconventional ways to create truly distinctive and captivating palettes. "Fashion has color moments," he says, "but the reality for me is it's not about trends. There are moments when you want something soft and muted, and moments when you want something deep and rich. I like the idea of mixing colors that you don't often see together, which might feel a bit odd, yet the result is refreshing."
Chevron, a modern and powerful take on the renowned Cable design, takes its cue from a motif that has appeared throughout the ages, from ancient Greek pottery to early Scandinavian heraldry to modern military insignia. David Yurman skillfully interprets the design in a modern, sculptural form, creating a play on light and dark—the valleys of the pattern are oxidized while the peaks are kept brightly polished.

Wang, B., Jenkins, J.R., and Trayhurn, P.
Notes: In this study, the expression of various adipokine genes linked to inflammation was examined during differentiation of pre-adipocytes to adipocytes in primary culture. The effect of TNFα on expression of these adipokines in differentiated human adipocytes was also investigated. qPCR was used to measure expression levels of the various adipokines, including NGF, during development and upon TNFα exposure. In addition, secretion of adipokines into the culture media was measured by ELISA, the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System being used to determine NGF levels. (3502)

Munoz, J.R., Stoutenger, B.R., Robinson, A.P., Spees, J.L. and Prockrop, D.J.
Notes: In this study, implantation of human bone marrow stem/progenitor cells (MSCs) into the hippocampus of immunodeficient mice was found to stimulate proliferation, migration and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells. Results of immunohistochemical analyses were confirmed by ELISA. The NGF Emax® Immunoassay System was used to determine NGF levels in isolated hippocampi at various intervals after implantation of the MSCs. (3500)
Cavaletti, G., Bogliun, G., Marzorati, L., Zincone, A., Piatti, M., Colombo, N., Franchi, D., La Presa, M.T., Lissoni, A., Buda, A., Fei, F., Cundari, S. and Zanna, C.
Notes: Patients with locally advanced squamous cervical carcinoma were monitored for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN). Plasma drawn from the study participants was stored at –80°C prior to testing for nerve growth factor (NGF)levels using the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. The authors note that a highly significant correlation existed between a decrease in circulating levels of NGF and an increase in the severity of CIPN. (3338)
McGough, N.N., He, D.Y., Logrip, M.L., Jeanblanc, J., Phamluong, K., Luong, K., Kharazia, V., Janak, P.H. and Ron D.
Notes: The authors examine the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in alcohol addition. RNA was isolated from primary rat hippocampal neurons cultured in the absence or presence of ethanol. The RNA was reverse transcribed using the Reverse Transcription System, and BDNF and GPDH RNAs were quantitated by fluorescent real-time PCR. BDNF and nerve growth factor (NGF) protein levels were monitored using the BNDF and NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems. (3441)

Guha, U., Gomes, W.A., Samanta, J., Gupta, M., Rice, F.L. and Kessler, J.A.
Notes: To study the role of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) in the development of peripheral sensory neurons, transgenic mice were created that overexpressed either a BMP inhibitor, noggin, or a ligand, BMP4. To determine if the increased trigeminal innervation and neuron numbers seen in these mice were due to increased neurotrophin levels, the mystacial (whisker) pads of 3-day-old mice were tested for the presence of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 using each of the corresponding Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems. The results indicated there were no significant changes in neurotrophin levels except for a decrease in NT-3 in the noggin transgenic mice. (3337)
Dorfman, M., Arancibia, S., Fiedler, J.L. and Lara, H.E.
Notes: The authors studied the effects of a chronic intermittent cold stress regime on sympathetic nerve activation and ovarian physiology. To analyze whether this effect on noradrenaline was preceded by activation of the neurotrophic factor system responsible for growth and survival of sympathetic neurons, they measured nerve growth factor in adult female Sprague-Dawley rats using the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2772)
Zhou, S., Chen, L.S., Miyauchi, Y., Miyauchi, M., Kar, S., Kangavari, S., Fishbein, M.C., Sharifi, B. and Chen, P.S.
Notes: After inducing myocardial infarction in feral dogs, transcardiac NGF levels were measured in the serum from 0.5 hours to 1 month later. This difference in NGF concentration between the coronary sinus and aorta was measured in triplicate samples using the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (3336)
Grimm, J., Lu, L., Hayashi, T., Hope, B., Su, T. and Shaham, Y.
Notes: The BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System and the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System were used to assay the levels of neurotrophinin in male Long–Evans rat brains. After cocaine consumption, brain tissue was homogenized and the BDNF and NGF levels assayed. (2805)
Cavaliere, F., Sancesario, G., Bernardi, G. and Volonte, C.
Notes: Cerebellar granule neurons were isolated from 8-day-old Wistar rats and were glucose deprived for 1 hour in Earl's balanced salt solution. This solution was collected and assayed for NGF using the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2809)
Touhami, A., Grueterich, M. and Tseng, S.C.
Notes: Human amniotic membrane, either intact or epithelially denuded, was homogenized and NGF content measured using the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2807)
Lee, P.G., Zhuo, H., and C.J. Helke
Notes: Protein and mRNA levels of various neurotrophins and neurotrophin receptors were analyzed in transected cervical vagus nerve and nodose ganglion. Nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3 protein levels were measured using Promega's NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. (2336)
Woodhall E., West A.K., and Chuah M.I..
Notes: Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells into lesions in the central nervous system is able to stimulate the growth of axons and in some cases restore functional connections. To investigate the mechanism, the authors quantitated the production of growth factors and expression of corresponding receptors by rat olfactory ensheathing cells. Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glial-cell-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor, and neurotrophin-3 were monitored using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, GDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. (2318)
GDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System
Das, K.P., Chao, S.L., White, L.D., Haines, W.T., Harry, G.J., Tilson, H.A., and Barone, S. Jr.
Notes: Regional and temporal patterns of neurotrophin messenger RNA and protein levels were characterized in the developing rat hippocampus, neocortex and cerebellum on postnatal days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 92. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor nerve growth factor, and neurotropin-3 protein levels were determined using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2319)
Weis, C., Marksteiner, J. and Humpel, C.
Notes: In Alzheimer's disease, cholinergic neurons are lost from the medial septum and nucleus basalis of Meynert. Nerve growth factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor were examined to determine if these growth factors can rescue the cholinergic neurons. GDNF and NGF levels in the sections of the basal nucleus of Meynert in rat was determined using Promega's GDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System and NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor was capable of partially restoring the number of cholinergic neurons. (2325)
Zhu, Z.W., Friess, H., Wang, L., Bogardus, T., Korc, M., Kleeff, J., and Buchler M.W.
Notes: The levels of NGF in culture medium of numerous human pancreatic cancer cell lines was determined using Promega's NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. NGF-induced pancreatic cancer cell growth seemed to be dependent on the expression levels and the balance of the TrkA and p75 receptors. (2334)
Anti-NGF mAb
Jezierski, M.K., and Sohrabji, F.
Notes: The regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and other neurotrophin ligands and receptors by estrogen was characterized in young adult and reproductively senescent rat brains. BNDF, NT-4, and NGF protein levels were monitored using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay, NT-4 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems, respectively . (2320)
Park, J.A., Lee, J.Y., Sato, T.A., and Koh, J.Y.
Notes: Mixed mouse cortical cultures containing both neurons and astrocytes were treated with zinc to induce neuronal death. Nerve growth factor augmented this zinc-induced neuronal death. The p75NTR receptor and the p75NTR-associated death executor (NADE) also play roles in zinc-triggered neuronal death. NGF levels were determined using Promega's NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2333)
Vizzard, M.A., Wu, K.H., Jewett, I.T.
Notes: The amounts of neurotrophins NGF, NT-3 and NT-4 were examined in the bladders of Wistar rats at various times after birth up to adulthood. NGF ranged from 5ng per bladder (day 5) to10ng per bladder (day 15). NT-3 ranged from less than 1ng per bladder at postnatal day 30 to as high as about 18ng per bladder in adulthood. NT-4 ranged from about 1ng per bladder on day 30 to more than 40ng per bladder in adulthood. NGF, NT-3, and BDNF protein levels were determined with the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and BDNF levels Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. Extraction procedures are detailed. (0228)
Anti-Human NT-3 pAb
Xia, Y.X., Ikeda, T., Xia, X.Y., Ikenoue, T.
Notes: The levels of BDNF, NT-3 and NGF were examined in the cerebrospinal fluid of newborn rats (80 per sample) from postnatal day 1-21. NGF levels were consistently higher than the other neurotrophins ranging from 136pg/ml (day 21) to 607pg/ml (day 17) depending upon the day tested. NT-3 was the next most abundant ranging from approximately 40pg/ml (day 19) to 144pg/ml (day 7). BDNF was the least abundant ranging from 19.2pg/ml (day 5) to as high as 65pg/ml (day 13). NGF was determined with the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System (NGF ELISA), NT-3 levels were determined with the NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System (NT-3 ELISA), and BDNF levels were determined with the BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System (BDNF ELISA). (0167)
Dissen, G.A., Parrott, J.A., Skinner, M.K., Hill, D.F., Costa, M.E. and Ojeda, S.R.
Notes: Bovine thecal cells were grown for three days then subcultured for 24 hours. The culture media was then removed and NGF levels determined using the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2810)
Heaton, M.B., Mitchell, J.J., Paiva, M., Walker, D.W.
Notes: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor nerve growth factor, neurotrophin-3 levels were quantitated in neonatal and early postnatal rat hippocampus, septum, cortex/striatum and cerebellum using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. (2312)
Anti-Human BDNF pAb
Di Loreto, S., Corvetti, L., Maccarone, R., Piancatelli, D., and Adorno D.
Notes: Levels of nerve growth factor in untreated and IL-1beta hippocampal neuronal cultures were monitored during homeostasis, hypoxia and reoxygenation. Untreated cells exhibited a decrease in both the expression and release of NGF under mild hypoxic stress whereas IL-1beta treated cells exhibited an increase in both expression and release of NGF. NGF levels were quantitated using Promega's NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2332)
Dissen, G.A., Lara, H.E., Leyton, V., Paredes, A., Hill, D.F., Costa, M.E., Martinez-Serrano, A., and Ojeda, S.R.
Notes: A rat model of human polycystic ovarian syndrome in which NGF-producing neural progenitor cells were grafted into ovaries of juvenile rats was used to study the effect of NGF levels in ovary tissue. NGF levels in conditional culture medium from immortalized embryonic day 16 rat hippocampus-derived neural progenitor cells and in whole rat ovaries was determined using Promega's NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2331)
Safieh-Garabedian, B., Dardenne, M., Kanaan, S.A., Atweh, S.F., Jabbur, S.J., and Saade, N.E.
Notes: Thymulin induced thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia resulted in an increase in NGF, TNF alpha and PGE(2) levels in rat liver. NGF levels were determined with Promega's NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2335)
Albeck, D.S., Backman, C., Veng, L., Friden, P., Rose, G.M. and Granholm, A.-C.E.
Notes: The NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System (NGF ELISA) was used to quantitate NGF in the rat medial septium, vertical limb of the diagonal band, area CA1 of the hippocampus and dentate guyrus of the hippocampus. Some detail of the referenced extraction procedure is provided. (2222)

I got this machine as a Mother's day gift because I had been talking about it for so long. I discovered it at the mall in November of 2012 while Christmas shopping. My feet and legs were so tired from shopping, and I typically have calf pain daily anyhow. I stopped at Brookstone for a back massager and happened to try this machine. I had been needing a calf massage and didn't even realize machines as this existed. I was instantly rejuvenated and it cured my tired feet on the spot! I always stop at the store to use this when shopping. This is perfect for those with leg pain. It has the right amount of squeeze for those who need a soothing pain to ease thier muscle soreness. It feels good to use right away, but be warned that it will leave you sore after the first few uses, especially if you use it an hour or more. This will go away with time and use. My calves would always feel sore at night as if bruised. When I would have my husband squeeze my calfs I would say he needed to squeeze harder. It hurt, but it also is what made them feel better. This is what this machine delivers. The programs are great in how they alternate between vibration, rolling, and squeezing all in one program. It actually feels like hands are giving the massage. I love this product! The only suggestion for improvement I have is that the control panel should face the user and not forward, but who even cares when it feels so GOOD! I've paired this machine with the i-need back massager for heavenly relaxation.

I am a nurse, work 12 hour shifts and come home alot with tired sore feet and my husband has trouble with leg cramps. Both features of foot and calf massage caught my attention. When I first tried it out the foot massage was wonderful, but tried the calf massage and was highly disappointed. I have large calves and even when adjusted to the widest width I felt like my calves were being pinched, it was very uncomfortable, and on some areas of my legs where I have some "spider veins" it left bruises. My husband felt the same way when he tried the calf massage. I feel if the calf section could be a bit wider it would be very enjoyable.

Comments about OSIM® uPhoria™ Foot & Calf Massager:
I bought this massagers for my parents. The massager for the feet was lovely; however, the leg massager pinched and was exceptionally painful. I tried it several times at my parents' home and it never improved. There is no mechanism which allows you to operate only the foot massage without the calf massager. My mother ended up with bruises on her calves. We returned it.

Comments about OSIM® uPhoria™ Foot & Calf Massager:
I tried in the store and feel like it so I waited till I got a coupon and bought it.... I was very exciting about to use it every night after I finish my house work, but somehow I already adjusted to the "widest", the calf parts were so painful by the rollers, I tried to bare with it couple nights but end up got bruises on my calf. I'm very petite (106 lb. 102 ft.) and I love heavy message but sadly this one doesn't work for me. I really wish they can change the design for users get more room to adjust the roller's width.

Comments about OSIM® uPhoria™ Foot & Calf Massager:
If you enjoy your calves feeling like they are being crushed and feeling panic that you need to get out of this contraption as fast as possible before incurring serious bodily harm, then this is for you. Neither me, my wife, nor my mother-in-law could stand it for more than thirty seconds. I think it's ludicrous when others say you need to "give it a week"...I couldn't even give it a minute! And I'm used to pain, I deadlift 350 lbs. regularly so I'm not out of shape. I promptly returned it for a refund and bought the foot massager and back massager instead. They work great.

Comments about OSIM® uPhoria™ Foot & Calf Massager:
This was heaven in a box when it arrived. I work as a nurse, so I am on my feet literally all day. I suffer from leg cramps and hot, tired feet at the end of my shift. This machine is perfect for me. It provides a deep tissue massage to both your feet and calves with multiple massage settings including reflexology, toning, vibration and kneading. It does an amazing job at increasing circulation and decreasing cramps and swelling. If you do not like deep dissue massage though, this machine may not be for you. You do have to find a good chair which you can adjust the height to use the machine at a level which works best for you. This is one of the best massage machines I have ever purchased. It was what I consider an investment in my own personal health and definitely worth the price for me.

Simply the best! I'm a waiter and this is exactly what i'm looking for! Works perfectly for my aching calves. I bought shiatsu leg massager w/ heat, i thought it will work for me, but the back calf roller won't go all the way up to calves muscles, so i ended up returning it, i shop around in malls and found this one at brookstone, the price has doubled from my previous purchase,but its all worth it!

Comments about OSIM® uPhoria™ Foot & Calf Massager:
The "width" adjustment is a joke. You have to set it to the widest setting to fit a 100 lb person with chicken legs. Otherwise it will squeeze so hard your kneecaps might burst.(jk)
My boyfriend is 200 lbs and is ALL upper body muscle, his legs are small. He LOVES very firm manipulation of his feet and legs - so this is a perfect gift for him. Other people I had try it out all said it squeezed too hard, or that it didn't fit their lovely lady size legs.

The calf rollers are excruitiating! Even with using the "widest" level. I am able to put feet in and then angle my calves so they are not getting abused. I am dissapointed in the money I spent on it considering I am only able to use the foot portion. None of my kids are able to use the calf part either.

Comments about OSIM® uPhoria™ Foot & Calf Massager:
I ending up buying the uSqueez foot massager first because I loved my experience with it while on breaks working at a Brookstone near me, but my store never had the uPhoria. I was happy with my uSqueez, but I kept hearing wonderful things about the uPhoria. So when I was visiting a friend who had a Brookstone near him with a uPhoria floor model, I had to try it out, and in less than 5 minutes I decided to upgrade to this one. This massager is great! It has 4 preset modes that are very different, unlike other massagers that have different modes, but all of them feel the same. This massager also has a an adjust for the width of the rollers, so a variety of people can use it. Plus, the heat option is wonderful! It helps the muscles really unwind while you're getting a massage. The Tai Nai massage feel so great, and is SO MUCH BETTER than the uSqueez massager. The part that really made my decision was the fact that this massager has rollers that go up and down your calf, while the uSqueez only has rollers that stay in one place on your calf. Just remember that for this massager, there is a break in period. At first it will very tight, but if you use it consistently, it will loosen up, AND prevent those painful foot cramps from coming up.

Neighbor recalls multiple disputes at suspected Brookfield spa shooter's household
Brown Deer resident Sandra Polk, neighbor to alleged Brookfield spa shooter Radcliffe F. Haughton, said she has seen a number of arguments and disputes across the street.
Polk, who lives in the 6500 block of Glenbrook Road, said Haughton, who killed three and injured four Sunday morning before taking his own life, argued with his wife, Zina, outside of their home on multiple occasions, and they sometimes ended up throwing objects around the front yard.
"We were definitely aware of some things that went on when they were outside, such as some verbal abuse," Polk said, "and some throwing, but not at each other. We never really saw anything really physical. No hitting or anything like that."
There were, Polk recalled, times when "things happened inside, after dark," necessitating police involvement. She said Haughton butted heads with Zina Haughton's 20-year-old daughter, Yasmeen Daniel, and once threw her clothes out across their front lawn.
"(Radcliffe) would get angry and kick her out," Polk said. "We think there was a little difference of opinion between him and her (Yasmeen)."» Read Full Article
Elmbrook School District approves 1.7 percent increase for tax levy
The Elmbrook School Board approved a 1.7 percent increase in the tax levy during the annual meeting on Monday, Sept. 22.
At the meeting, the district set the tax levy at $73.9 million for the 2014-15 school year with an estimated tax rate of $10.51 per $1,000 of assessed value — 18 cents more than last year's rate of $10.33.
A taxpayer with a home valued at $300,000 within the Elmbrook School District would pay about $3,153 in school district taxes, based on the tax rate. Property taxes for individuals, however, will vary based on the assessed valuations for their municipalities.
More information on this story will be printed in an upcoming issue.
Preps football photos of the week: Sept. 19
Big conference games and intercity rivalries were a big part of high school football as the season continued in Week 5 on Sept. 19.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 5.
Party City pulls Slender Man Halloween costumes in Wisconsin
an outcry in the wake of the May stabbing of a girl allegedly by classmates seeking to please the fictional character.Party City has pulled Slender Man costumes from its shelves throughout Wisconsin after
"Our thoughts and condolences go out to family and friends of the victim and the entire local community," according to a company statement. "... Party City sells merchandise and costumes for all types of Halloween customers, and nothing we carry is meant to be offensive."
Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, both 12, are charged in adult court with attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the May 31 stabbing of the girl, also 12, in a wooded area near David's Park on Waukesha's south side. The victim survived the attack.
Weier and Geyser told investigators they were trying to gain the favor of Slender Man.
The Halloween costume depicting the fictional character was found at a Party City store and Spirit Halloween in Brookfield, and drew complaints from some parents, according to local media reports. Both stores there have since stopped carrying the costume.» Read Full Article
East nips Lancers, 24-20, to get back into GMC race
Brookfield East started fast, but fell behind by 10, only to rally and defeat Brookfield Central, 24-20, Thursday night in a huge Greater Metro Conference game for both teams.
The Spartans (4-1 overall) tied the Lancers (3-2) for second place in the GMC, each with 2-1 records, behind first place Marquette (2-0, 2-2 overall), who plays Wauwatosa East on Friday.
Brookfield East must face West Allis Hale, Tosa East, Menomonee Falls and West Allis Central the rest of the way, while Central plays West Allis Central, Marquette, Sussex Hamilton and West Allis Hale.
The Spartans took the opening kick-off and went 75 yards on 12 plays, scoring when place kicker Connor Allen booted a 38-yard field at the 7:59 mark of the first quarter.
East then added a 19-yard touchdown run off the right side by running back Mitch Mikulsky for a 10-0 lead with 7:09 left in the half.» Read Full Article
Man sentenced to 7 years for heroin death
Marquis Williams was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree reckless homicide by delivery of drugs.
In June of 2013, Luke Pulsifer of Elm Grove overdosed after acquiring heroin from Williams the night before. Text messages from Pulsifer's phone were traced back to Williams and Elm Grove resident Cody Schoos. Williams provided the heroin while Schoos agreed to drive Pulsifer to the transaction in exchange for a portion of the drugs.
Williams pleaded guilty to the charge on Sept. 9. On Thursday, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Donald Hassin heard testimony from Laura Pulsifer on behalf of the victim, her son, and a number of family members of the defendant, including Williams' father Dominic Williams.
In the end, Hassin sentenced Williams to a total sentence of 14 years including seven years of initial confinement with seven years extended supervision to follow.
Laura Pulsifer said following the hearing that she had hoped to see a harsher sentence imposed on Williams.» Read Full Article
Hassless Mattress opens 4 worker-less retail outlets
Hassless Mattress, a retail business spun out of the Penny Mustard furniture chain, has opened four Milwaukee-area stores with an unusual twist — no employees are on hand to staff the locations.
The outlets open and close remotely, and are fitted with security cameras that can be monitored over the Internet. The shops are stocked with mattress that customers can order from a computer or by phone. The firm delivers from a warehouse in Greendale.
The business model is somewhat similar to that of laundromats, but is being used to sell a product rather than a service. One decades-long observer of the mattress industry said he'd never heard of anything like it.
Running the business is Weston Huth, a nephew of Penny Mustard owners Arvid and Ben Huth. The three men are co-owners of Hassless Mattress.
The stores are at 7740 W. Layton Ave., Greenfield; 18110 W Blue Mound Road, Town of Brookfield; 11018 N Port Washington Road, Mequon; and W188-N10707 Maple Road, Germantown.
City to draft survey on chicken ordinance
The City of Brookfield's Legislative & Licensing Committee had in-depth discussions Tuesday night regarding the potential for a new ordinance addressing the allowability for residents to raise chickens.
The committee was largely split on the issue with multiple aldermen supporting each side of the debate and others favoring further discussions but also speaking of moving slowly on any action.
The committee voted 4 - 1 to instruct city staff to draft questions that would be distributed in a survey in the city's next newsletter and/or online. The questions will be approved by the committee before being presented to the public.

Lancers dominate Falls, 21-0, in GMC action
Brookfield Central tossed a shutout at Menomonee Falls, 21-0, Friday night at home in a steady rain and remained unbeaten in Greater Metro Conference action.
The Lancers (3-1) improved to 2-0, tied with Marquette for first place in the GMC, while the Indians (2-2) fell to 1-1 in league play.
"This is a huge win for us," coach Jed Kennedy said. "We think there are a lot of teams in the Greater Metro that are kind of all the same. There is no room for error. If you lose a game, it's going to be tough.
"We told our kids all week, this has to have a playoff feel to it. We thought it was that important a game to get off to the right start."
And the Lancers did that, taking the opening kickoff and going 64 yards in 11 plays, as Malik Turner raced around right end to give Central a 7-0 lead with 8 minutes, 59 seconds on the clock. Buck Nellen the kicked the first of three extra points Friday night.
The Lancers then held Falls to a 3-and-out and went 50 yards on 10 plays, with quarterback Dominic Labellarte scoring from 2-yards out for a 14-0 lead with 2:42 left in the first quarter.» Read Full Article

Rash of vehicle break-ins in Elm Grove
The Village of Elm Grove has had dozens of vehicles broken into in the last month including nine in one night last week.
Village of Elm Grove Police Department Assistant Chief Jason Hennen warns residents to lock their vehicles and to avoid leaving valuables, such as laptops, purses, or credit cards their vehicles.
"If you want to keep your stuff, lock it up. It's pretty basic," Hennen said.
During the night of Sept. 2 or early-morning hours of Sept. 3, nine vehicles were rummaged through. Only one vehicle had anything of value, a wallet containing cash and credit cards, taken from it.

Having taken two months back at the drawing board, Irgens returned to the City of Brookfield's Plan Commission with a revamped plan that took heed of criticism previously expressed by the panel in July.
The progression of Irgens' plans for The Corridor, a massive mixed-use development set to be erected on the former Ruby Farmstead, was halted on July 7, when commissioners voted unanimously to table the topic due to what multiple members called "disappointment." With their audibles not being finished by August, the developer returned Monday night for a new evaluation.
Changes to Irgens' plans include additional retail space and more options that could lead to public benefit.
Irgens' plans, as presented Monday night, now call for 871,000 square feet of space, nearly 100,000 more than was shown two months ago. Previously, the company had planned for 782,000 square feet. Since their initial presentation, Irgens has increased the amount of corporate office space and mixed use space that it proposes for The Corridor.
In July, the company called for a development consisting of 500,000 square feet of offices, 138,000 square feet of retail space, and 93,000 square feet of mixed uses. On Monday, Irgens' proposal included 552,000 square feet of corporate office space, 136,000 square feet of retail, and 198,000 square feet of mixed uses. Mixed uses will include medical, fitness/wellness, and hospitality uses.» Read Full Article
Elmbrook taxi service asking city for $13k
The Elmbrook Senior Taxi service plans to ask the City of Brookfield Common Council for a $13,250 increase in funding at next Tuesday's council meeting.
The City of Brookfield contributed just under $7,000 in 2013, but Elmbrook Senior Taxi (EST) officials say that more is needed.
EST is a taxi service for seniors and ambulatory disabled persons that reside in the City of Brookfield, Town of Brookfield, Village of Elm Grove, and Village of Butler. The service is provides transportation to medical appointments, grocery shopping trips, and social outings.
President of the EST Board Sandy Wolff notes that the service's demand for rides is increasing and that the company has been running as much as a $20,000 deficit in recent years.
"We have had to turn down a lot of rides and when you keep turning people down, they don't come back," Wolff said. "It's a quality of life issue for seniors to be able to get where they need to go."» Read Full Article
Dixon Elementary receives "Schools of Recognition" award by DPI
Dixon Elementary School was recently named a Wisconsin Title 1 School of Recognition by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for its achievement results and its ability to close the achievement gap for all students.
Title 1 schools are identified based on their percentage of low-income families eligible for free and reduced-price lunches. In the 2013-14 school year, five Elmbrook schools met eligibility requirements for Title 1 funding.
Dixon is the first school in the district to receive the recognition and is one of eight schools across the state designated by the DPI as a high-achieving and high-progress school.
"I am extremely proud of our students and their achievement results," said Dixon Principal Jeanne Siegenthaler in a news release. "Our staff does an outstanding job at setting high expectations for all students, while providing personalized support to make sure each student meets his or her full academic potential. This recognition is a tribute to the entire Dixon community's commitment to excellence."
Dixon will be recognized at a ceremony for all "Schools of Recognition" award-winners in Madison on October 13. Dixon teachers also will be eligible to participate in a Fellowship Grant Program.
