Given the current composition of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and a recent decision by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals invalidating similar laws in North Carolina, it’s possible the recent Wisconsin court rulings will be upheld, said UW-Madison law professor Robert Yablon.
Noted: Meanwhile, Yue Wang and John Williams from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, looked for spores from three fungi that grow in the dung of plant-eating animals. Large extinct beasts like mammoths produced a lot of dung, so scientists can track their disappearance by looking for sudden drops in the levels of these fungal spores.
Quoted: Believe it or not, this game is not Pokemon Go. It’s actually Kkomamon — an augmented reality game developed as something of an experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison four years ago, well before Niantic’s smash hit was even in development.”We were working with this game to increase physical activity in kids,” said David Gagnon, the program director of the Field Day Lab, a team of educational researchers, developers and designers who work at the intersection of education and new technology.
Quoted: That’s according to findings of the recently released National Financial Capability Study conducted by the Washington, D.C.-based Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Foundation. Wisconsin performed better compared to the nation as a whole when it came to paying bills on time, avoiding non-bank or payday lenders and keeping up with expenses, said Michael Collins, director of the UW-Madison Center for Financial Security, who is familiar with the study.
Quoted: “It’s about making the offender part of the solution while elevating the voice of the victim and giving them a more active role,” said Jonathan Scharrer, director of a long-standing, prison-based restorative justice program run through UW-Madison’s Law School. Scharrer also helped set up the South Madison CRC.
Quoted: Ken Mayer, a UW-Madison political science professor who studies presidential politics, said this election had defied all expectations so it’s difficult to make predictions. Typically polls after the second convention set the tone of the race, and the numbers remain stable. However, he noted, a year ago nobody predicted Trump would be the Republican nominee.
Quoted: All payments ordered by the panel are due by Aug. 27, according to the ruling. An appeal is unlikely, said Dick Heymann, an adjunct professor of law at UW-Madison. Arbitration is used to avoid court proceedings and is set up under an agreement by all parties involved in the case. In most cases, a ruling is final.
Noted: Roelli credits John Jaeggi of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Dairy Research with helping him develop and perfect the Little Mountain cheese.

Quoted: Rob Kalejta, professor of oncology and molecular virology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and co-chair of the gathering, said hosting a major international research conference provides benefits that extend beyond learning about the latest scientific advances.
Quoted: And Disque Denuncia data isn’t perfect, says Nick Barnes, a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who works with the service’s dataset regularly.
Quoted: “If you look at the futures market, it looks like we may have hit the bottom of this trough,” said Brian Gould, professor of agricultural economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “In 2014, we had all-time record highs, so that’s a tremendous percent drop in an 18-month period. And it’s a continuing problem, and we’re always trying as an industry to deal with it.”
Noted: “The Salazar regime goes on until 1974, which is the end of the Estado Novo,” says Ellen Sapega, a professor of Portuguese language and culture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “In the 1980s, Portugal joined the European Union, and people wanted to get rid of things that were equated with the stuffiness of the Estado Novo and to embrace a new, more modern idea of Portugal,” she says. “That’s the time when the fast food restaurants enter into Portugal and global brands, and more supermarkets became chain supermarkets.”
Richard Keller tells students in his medical history and global health classes not to look for happy endings.
Noted: If given the option, 90 percent of academics and researchers would favor a move away from the reliance on the official poverty rate data, according to Timothy Smeeding, the Lee Rainwater Distinguished Professor of Public Affairs and Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Smeeding said because the Supplemental Poverty Measure takes into account government contributions when determining whether a person is poor, it’s better for tracking the number of poverty-stricken people in the country than the official rate.
Quoted: It’s not unusual for a failed presidential candidate to campaign with his party’s nominee after the primary season is over, but it’s rare for congressional candidates to request that the losing candidate join them at their rallies, said Barry Burden, a political science professor and director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Noted: For decades, researchers have theorized that deceleration starts as energy stored in the muscles is used up. “All mammals engaged in intense exercise, be it a human marathoner, a cheetah trying to catch prey or the prey trying to avoid becoming a meal, rely on energy stored in the body, usually as glycogen,” said Karen Steudel, a professor of zoology at the University of Wisconsin. “Once this is depleted, the human or cheetah is basically out of gas.”
Noted: Barry Orton, a professor emeritus of telecommunications at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said that most households have more than one person using the internet at once, which makes faster speeds necessary.
Quoted: “There’s a demand, so it fills a gap,” says Noel Radomski, director and researcher for the Madison-based Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education. “It’s addressing a need that public universities can learn from.”
Quoted: “She has to separate herself in a meaningful way,” said Ken Mayer, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies the presidency. “You walk a very fine line.”
Noted: In life the men must have been fearsome figures. They were young and tall, at least one nearly six feet. Analysis of their teeth, combined with the design of the buried artifacts, suggests that they came from central Sweden, not Estonia, says study co-author T. Douglas Price, an emeritus professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The skeletons on the larger of the two ships showed signs of violent death: stab wounds, decapitation marks, and an arm bone cleaved by a blade.
Quoted: “If your business involves these kind of social sales, be ready for a lot of polite ’no’ answers, and don’t push too hard lest it ruin your friendships,” said Christine Whelan, a clinical professor in the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the US.
Noted: “With the rain that we’ve been getting, that does set things up for mosquito activity,” said UW-Madison entomologist P.J. Liesch. “Anytime you get rain, you can have this lag period of about two weeks or so.”
Quoted: “Between the two of them, some data suggests they have over a 60 percent market share. Yahoo is much, much smaller and can no longer compete,” says Hart Posen, associate professor with the UW-Madison School of Business.
Quoted: Matthew Aliota, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin who was was part of the team that first detected Zika in Colombia, said the virus could be in an “inter-epidemic period” and that cases could surge again at some point.
Noted: For now, this is just a hypothesis. But it’s “really interesting and thought-provoking”, says Caitlin Pepperell, from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who studies the evolution of human disease. “It’s plausible because smoke inhalation is so damaging to the lung’s innate immune system—our first line of defense against tuberculosis. Perhaps the bacteria that breached this defense had an easier time of it from that point on. Smoke inhalation also increases coughing and could enhance TB transmission.”
Quoted: Steven Nadler, a University of Wisconsin—Madison professor who has published extensively on Rembrandt, says there’s no reason to assume Rembrandt modeled Jews for his Judas, or that he had contacts in the Dutch Jewish community in 1629, despite his likely apprenticeship to Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam in 1624.
Noted: Nicholas Hillman, who researches higher education finance at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is thinking a little bigger. He’d like to see a completely different process in place for targeting who gets access to help with their loans.
Noted: UW-Madison law professors Howard Scheweber and Walter Dickey comment.
Quoted: Dr. Apple Bodemer, with UW Health, said most of the diseases mosquitoes carry are specific to certain areas. In Wisconsin, there has been West Nile Virus as well as some of the Encephalitis viruses caused by mosquitoes.
Quoted: “How do you figure out what’s coming next?” said David O’Connor, professor at UW-Madison and chair of the Global Infectious Disease Division at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center. “That’s the million-dollar question.”
Quoted: “We continue to muddle along,” said Michael Knetter, Ph.D, an economist and the president of the University of Wisconsin Foundation. “It continues to be a little bit of a surreal situation, with these interest rates being so low.”
Noted: When all that context drops out, you’re left with the mere content of the map, which can make it harder to understand in truly historical terms. Jonathan Senchyne, director of the Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (and a graduate school colleague of mine), says that this can sand down the historical texture of an object. “There’s always a temptation to think about something that’s been [digitized] in presentist terms,” Senchyne told me. In other words, it’s challenging to break free from our own ways of understanding and moving through space when we only access the past through a digital lens.
University of Wisconsin-Madison political science and journalism professor Mike Wagner said it was “striking” to see them follow different strategies.

Quoted: “A lot of people are there to think about their future in the party,” University of Wisconsin Madison political science professor Barry Burden said. “They don’t want to be attached to a sinking ship.”
Quoted: Walker’s speech offered something the convention had been missing, said University of Wisconsin-Madison political science and journalism professor Mike Wagner — a traditional appeal for ideological unity, reminding voters of the stakes of the election.
Noted: One of the factors contributing to the heat wave is drier than normal conditions, said Michael Morgan, a professor in the department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Drier conditions mean drier soil. When soil is wet, the radiation from the sun helps evaporate that water before it begins heating the ground.
The focus on Pence from Kleefisch and other party leaders allows them to take a careful approach with a controversial candidate, said University of Wisconsin-Madison political science and journalism professor Mike Wagner.
Quoted: Though hepatitis C is highly treatable in its early stages, most people don’t know they’re infected because the disease is highly asymptomatic, said Rob Striker, a researcher and associate professor of infectious diseases in the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.
Noted: Kathleen Culver, director of the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has no doubt the two paragraphs in question would qualify as plagiarism, whether in a newsroom, classroom or at a political podium.
Quoted: Barry Burden, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of the Elections Research Center, said Trump is the kind of candidate who uses television and social media very effectively. But the platform doesn’t fall into either of those categories, he said. It will not be read on television, and few will be tweeting about it.
The obsession was born over Chinese food with a Tibetan monk.Dr. Charles Raison was working as an emergency room psychiatrist in Los Angeles, where he’d fallen in with a monk-turned-psychologist. Every Monday, they would have dinner at Panda Inn and talk Tibet.

Noted: Adrian Treves, head of the Carnivore Coexistence Lab at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who was not involved with the study, said he was impressed with the analysis, and thought it might underestimate the benefits of cougars. He said in an email that there would probably be an even greater reduction in deer-vehicle collisions, “if governments and private citizens allow cougars to recover to historic levels.”
Noted: Indeed, attraction, hugging, flirting, fondling and, yes, sexual relations know no expiration dates. “This is a time of life where many people return to a certain romance of what they were like in their 20s. You can no longer jump out of planes, but you can still generate excitement in your life,” says geriatric psychiatrist Ken Robbins, a clinical professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Social connections and human touch help ward off the depression and loneliness that old age and institutional living can bring, he adds.
Noted: The convention “has been a way for the party to unify itself and present the image it wants to the American public,” said Barry Burden, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of the Elections Research Center.
Quoted: Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has studied third parties, said Johnson and Stein might hurt each other. He pointed to research showing that Nader had “two kinds of supporters: one was die-hard leftists on board with his platform, and the other set weren’t particularly ideological but were dissatisfied with Bush and Gore.” The larger the second set, the more Johnson and Stein will compete for voters.
A former Turkish University of Wisconsin-Madison professor says he is not surprised by last night’s military coup in Turkey.

Noted: UW-Madison professors Constance Steinkuehler and Kurt Squire comment.
Quoted: “In many cases, the actual performance in Milwaukee improved, but the ranking dropped,” said Donna Friedsam, health policy program director at UW-Madison’s population health institute. “This would indicate that other geographic areas also improved on these elements, and improved more than did Milwaukee.”
