Gableman changes his mind about that Rindfleisch appeal #JohnDoe #JohnDoeII #JohnDoe2
“A Wisconsin Supreme Court justice on Tuesday withdrew his unusual request asking for his colleagues on the state’s highest court to review its decision not to hear an appeal of a felony conviction from a former aide to Gov. Scott Walker.” – source Interesting. I feel loathe to speculate about this turn of events because more »

The presidential clown car: Trump trumps Walker, Bernie’s coming to WI, Jill Stein is in, and More
TRUMP ON TOP A FOX poll puts Jeb at #1 and Trump at #2 in New Hampshire. Scott Walker is not in the top. This Politico article says that the numbers are too good to be true and quotes pollsters who say “Everybody should calm down“. Whatever the case, I’m still going to take pleasure more »

ST. PETERSBURG RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING COLLECTIONS BEGIN MONDAY
ST. PETERSBURG, FL (June 25, 2015) – On Monday, June 29, curbside recycling collections begin in St. Petersburg. Residents living in Zone 1 who have containers with grey stickers and wish to participate in the program are reminded to place their containers at the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday. Mayor Rick Kriseman will participate in Monday’s curbside recycling collection rollout with a 9:30 a.m. news conference in front of a resident’s home at 161 19th Avenue South in the Old Southeast neighborhood.
Beginning in Zone 1, new city recycling trucks will move zone by zone throughout the city over the coming weeks to collect recycling. On Tuesday, June 30, trucks begin collections in Zone 3 (red), while residents in Zones 5 (purple) and 7 (pink) will have their recycling collected July 2 and 3, respectively. Residents are encouraged to locate the colored sticker on their container, use the calendar included inside each container welcome kit, or visit www.stpete.org/recycle to find their collection schedule. A large decal on each container lid lists acceptable items for recycling in St. Petersburg’s program.
Recycling containers may be placed at the curb as early as 7 p.m. the night before collection or by 7 a.m. on collection day. Containers should be removed from the street by 7 p.m. the same day following collection.
Residential customers are invited to download St. Pete Collects, a new mobile app for iPhone and Android users to keep track of trash and curbside recycling collection schedules, from their favorite app store. St. Pete Collects lets customers set custom email or text reminders, receive schedule changes due to holidays or bad weather and report missed collections, container issues or other concerns from their mobile device. Customers can also look up an item to find out if it’s recyclable or trash using the Waste Wizard, learn about local mobile collection events, and receive tips for a greener lifestyle. A desktop version of St. Pete Collects is available at www.stpete.org/StPeteCollects.

Gableman hopes to reel Rindfleisch (and Scott Walker’s secrets) back to Wisconsin
Dear Readers: We have some John Doe II news to talk about. I’m not absolutely positive what’s up – but I have some strong suspicions, which I will go into. Whatever’s going down, the timing of this could not be more threatening to Scott Walker’s impending presidential campaign. First you need to know that the more »

Why can cops tote guns into WI schools now? The NRA called for that after Sandy Hook
As of today, Scott Walker signed bills* that remove the 48 hour waiting period on handgun purchases in WI and to allow retired and off-duty cops to roam while armed on school property. A friend on facebook said today, “I am very curious why anyone needs to carry a gun into our schools? Also how more »

Walker lie number 1,000,001: Act 10 improved Wisconsin’s ACT score
When your governor is this level of smarmy slimeball, it actually gets boring to say, “He lied”. Even when he’s not outright lying he’s applying a dizzying amount of spin. I need something that works like an automatically updating site injury sign at the blog. Today’s update would read, “Scott Walker has proudly gone 1,630 more »

Walker is literally just phoning it in now
Walker took a break from his “trade mission” to tell legislators he doesn’t care what road projects get cut. Just figure it out. And hurry up. He’s got a presidential campaign to run. (paraphrased) Walker told reporters on a conference call from a trade trip to Canada Wednesday morning that he hoped lawmakers would more »

Water for the World
Water innovation may help solve the world’s water crisis: now, how to standardize and distribute Askwar Hilonga’s invention? Image: furman.edu.
World water is in crisis. For example, 70% of Tanzanian households lack clean drinking water: now Askwar Hilonga, of the Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology, is about to change that. Growing up in rural Tanzania, the chemical engineer recalls family and friends suffering from water-borne illnesses, motivating an innovation combining one of the world’s oldest filters, sand, with one of the newest: nanotechnology. The Roman aqueducts were similarly resultant of a combination of both new and traditional technologies. Askwar Hilonga’s success may soon benefit the rest of the world: 1 in 9 people lack clean drinking water, globally. How can new technologies, supported by industry, governance and global agreements, improve water for the world?
