"Pulaski students under lockdown Thursday afternoon
Officials at Pulaski High School instituted a security lockdown on Thursday afternoon.
The step was taken after school officials were notified that a home invasion occurred in the village of Hobart. The home is the residence of a Pulaski High School family, according to a letter to parents from superintendent Mel Lightner.
“For the safety and security of all students at Pulaski High School, a lockdown was instituted,” the letter said. “With the cooperation of the Hobart and Pulaski Police Departments, it was deemed safe to allow the students to leave at the end of the day.”
According to police, three men forced their way into the home with a small handgun. The men separated a mother and her young son, then took a safe with them after they couldn’t open it. The woman was told her children would be in danger if she didn’t cooperate.
Police are currently searching for the home invaders who are thought to be driving a beige-colored, fou-door vehicle. The suspects are three young males of Asian descent. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pulaski or Hobart Police Departments.
Lightner said the students and staff at Pulaski High School conducted the lockdown in an exemplary fashion.
“We are extremely proud that our students took this lockdown very seriously,” he wrote. “As always, the safety of our students remains a top priority.”" Shawano Leader

"State pension fund loses $10 billion in October
By Cary Spivak of the Journal Sentinel
Posted: Nov. 6, 2008" State pension fund loses $10 billion in October - JSOnline
The state's public employee pension fund lost another $10 billion in October alone, making it a virtual certainty that - barring a dramatic turnaround in the stock market - retirees' pension checks will shrink next year.
The State of Wisconsin Investment Board had assets of about $62.5 billion on Oct. 31, down more than $25 billion since the beginning of the year. The SWIB portfolio is now about the same size as it was at the end of 2000.

"State regulators OK new Green Bay area code
Starting in 2011, new customers will be assigned 274
By TODD RICHMOND • The Associated Press " State regulators OK new Green Bay area code | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette
MADISON — New telephone customers in northern Wisconsin will be assigned to new area codes, state regulators decided Thursday.
The decision comes as the Wisconsin Public Service Commission grapples with a dwindling supply of numbers in the wireless world.
"Usable telephone numbers are a finite resource," PSC Chairman Eric Callisto said.
New customers in the 715 area code, which covers roughly the northern half of the state from Eau Claire to Marinette, could get a 534 number as soon as mid-2010. Current customers will keep 715.
New customers in the 920 area code, which includes the Fox River Valley and Green Bay, will get a 274 number starting in late 2011. Existing customers will keep 920.
The changes mean people will have to dial 10 digits to make any call. They won't face any new fees, according to the PSC.
Callisto said cell phones and other wireless communication devices as well as more homes with multiple lines are gobbling up phone numbers in area codes statewide.

Republicans R I P
R I P Republican Party.
It is time the conservative movement go in another direction. With the pounding the republicans took in 2006 and 2008, it is time to throw the last shovel of dirt on the grave of the GOP. It's sad, the party that began in Ripon Wisconsin can only now be a distant part of this countries history. Ronald Reagan must be turning in his grave.
Why did this happen? How did this happen? It happened to men and women who went to Washington and forgot how they got there. They forgot their beliefs. They crawled on their hands and knees to become popular, to be friends with the left, to think and even beg the MSM to like them. They were sent to Washington to do the work of the people. They promised change, they promised less government, they promised to do the will of the people. What happened is they turned away from conservatism. With power comes greed and greed runs ramped in our capitol.
When republicans had the chance to make a difference, they fell to money and power and thought the people back home would not notice, would never hear or see. They just wanted to get along. They became moderate and centrist. They passed No Child left behind. They passed campaign finance reform. "We need to take the money out of politics. They went on vacations with Lobbyist Jack Abramoff and thought it was just fine. In 2006 it was Mark Foley. In 2008 to win a presidential election we had to reach out to moderates. To reach out and beg for voters that would never vote for us in the first place. We were ignored until Sara Palin gave us hope. Sara Palin spoke for us and to us, hope for the conservative people of this country. And what now, those same republicans are trashing her.
On a personal note, talking to people in my area, they equate republicans as racist, rich, Mark Foley, nuts who lie,cheat, earmarks and can't be trusted. Remember Bush 41, Read my lips, no new taxes. The skin heads last week were told to me, "they are typical republican". No matter what a republican does they get the bad press and people are sick and tired with the name republican. Their beliefs is anyone with an "R" by their name is scum. Get out of Iraq, it's Bush's fault, greedy republicans. They are only for the rich! A bunch of crooks! The media has painted the republicans so negative that anyone with an "R" is dirt. The press did their job and people believed everything they hear no matter what the truth could be.
Sorry, I'm just tired of those that are republicans that gave up their beliefs and ruined the Grand Old Party. I' m also tired of being called radical and a nut for my beliefs just because I was considered a republican.
I am not a republican. I am conservative. All the pundit's are saying we need to work with the moderates, we need to work with the democrats, we need to reach across the aisle. We need to move to the middle.
As conservatives, we will not move to the middle.
As conservatives, we will not seek moderates.
As conservatives, we will protect life and especially the unborn.
As conservatives, we are for less government not more.
As conservatives, we will not accept the country club blue blooders.
As conservatives, we will not give up our freedoms that our forefathers gave us.
As conservatives we do not spread the wealth, you earn what you have and what is yours is not the governments.
We need to change to a new name for conservatives. The media painted the republicans so negative that anyone with an "R" is dirt.
Where do we go from here? We go forward with conservatives like Palin, like Rush, what Ronald Reagan would expect of us. How do we do that. We need to first tell republicans we are not a part of their party and that includes money!
Maybe it is time for a "Conservative" party. We will become our own party.
It may take years but at least it will be our party. We need to first accept our party, We need to plan our party. We need to take the movement forward. It will not be easy. We will be called names, be smeared, will get negative press, ignored, beat up, again it will not be easy. Oh forgot, that's already happening to us who are conservatives. Money, not a problem! We need to find a leader, a true conservative in politics, maybe the Governor of Alaska.
Governor Palin, will you lead our party?
The CONSERVATIVE. Party, the movement begins.
Anyone else interested, let me know.
To the Republican Party, R I P!

Michigan Legalizes Medical Marijuana, Expands Stem Cell Research
Posted by Jacob Goldstein " Health Blog : Michigan Legalizes Medical Marijuana, Expands Stem Cell Research
I
In Michigan, embryonic stem cell research is more controversial than medical marijuana — but, ultimately, Michiganders approve of both.
Proposal 1, a medical marijuana initiative, passed by a margin of 63% to 37%, with 87% of precincts reporting, the Associated Press reports this morning. The bill legalizes the use of medical marijuana by patients with “debilitating medical conditions” when approved by a physician. Michigan will become the 13th state to legalize medical marijuana use.
Proposal 2, a measure likely to expand embryonic stem cell research in the state, passed — but by a much narrower margin than Proposal 1. The vote was 52%-48%, with 87% of precincts reporting, the Detroit Free Press reports. The measure allows researchers to use embryos from fertility treatments to create embryonic stem cells, provided that the embryos would otherwise be discarded.
That work, which involves the destruction of the embryo, is legal under federal law (though not funded by federal research dollars). But it’s been banned in Michigan under a state law that prohibits the destruction of embryos in most circumstances.
I like the following quote from a doctor.
I am a physician living in metro Detroit. I am preparing for an epidemic of newly-diagnosed, advanced glaucoma cases among young men 15-25 years of age who live in the Ann Arbor area….Prop 1 should help them.

Wisconsin 8th Congressional Voters, Spread The Word
The following link is from the podcast from Mark Belling at WISN 1130 am Milwaukee.
Obviously the press in the 8th district would not pick up the gaff, lie or what ever about Steve Kagen's wife chumming with Laura Bush.
The segment begins 2 or three minutes into the segment.
Mark does a good job explaining the Kagen stupidity.
Mark calls Steve Kagen a goof and a liar.
If your a voter in the Wisconsin 8th district you need to give it a listen.
We need to send Steve Kagen back to private practice.
If you know a voter in the Wisconsin 8th, please pass it via my blog post or e mail your friends the link from the Belling podcast. Also Charlie Sykes has a post about this same store , here is his link
