Before I clicked onto the article, I knew that Wisconsin would easily get mentioned. Living in Milwaukee with the governor’s race heating up, the big debate between Scott Walker (R) and Tom Barrett (D) is over building a high-speed rail system between Milwaukee and Madison. The money that we have been given is budgeted for and only for building high-speed rail infrastructure. Walker does not seem to get that through his thick skull as he has repeatedly said he wants to use the money for fixing roads and bridges in Wisconsin even though he has a tendency to cut back spending on important things like inspecting county structures. One example in particular happened this summer when a 13-ton slab of concrete fell and killed a 15-year old teen on opening day of Summerfest. Not only did it cause massive gridlock for the freeway system in Milwaukee and all the nearby major streets, but also proved that cutting corners to save some money on the books can have very severe repercussions. Walker runs the county services, drives them into a ditch, and would most likely do the same to the whole of Wisconsin if he took hold of the capital.I’m proud to grow up, live, go to school in Wisconsin and call it my home. In my opinion, high-speed rail will make traveling in Wisconsin (and eventually the entire United States) faster, more efficient, and draw attention from others to take a ride and enjoy the cities and towns that the system will stop at. I cannot wait for the day in a few years to hop on a train in Milwaukee and arrive in Chicago, La Crosse, Madison, or Minneapolis faster than I could with a car.In regards to the money coming to Wisconsin to build the train. That money is going to engineers to design and build the trains themselves in Wisconsin along with machinists, welders, electricians, and many others that would be needed to setup the route. A high-speed train will move Wisconsin forward with manufacturing jobs and revenue from the train itself.
Sounds like a really great trip. And that place that offers cheese, too, I think I could spend a good long time there.
I thought I had seen Smuttynoe in Hudson, either at Chicone's or Cassanova's but I might be getting that confused with our last big haul from La Crosse.
Do you happen to know if Brooklyn distributes to WI? I was talking to someone last night that really enjoys their brown.
The definition of a "second" was set so that there are 86,400 seconds in a day — back around the year 1840! That is the average date for the observations that were used to define the second (i.e., about 1790 to 1880's). Since then, then Earth has slowed down a tiny bit for a while, and sped up for a while. Since 1972, there have been 23 leap seconds, over a period of 13,149 days. That means that ON AVERAGE, over the last 36 years, the days have been longer than 86,400 seconds by 0.00175 seconds. That extra part is called the "excess length of day", and adds up to about 0.6 or 0.7 seconds per year.
Now, we might suppose that the Earth could continue at that rate forever, with each day being 86,400.00175 seconds (average over several decades). The would be zero deceleration. But in fact, the Earth is decelerating. In about 100 years, we can expect that the day will be 86,400.00375 seconds long. Then leap seconds will have to put in about every 267 days (average). And in 1000 years from now, the day will be 86,400.02175 seconds long, and leap seconds will be needed every 46 days (as always, on average). (The detailed situation is a bit more complicated.) Some people are worried about this — see the second link below.
There is a graph of the "excess" length of day at the first link. Look for the graph labeled "BullA LODS".
So, you know that until 1971, Madison and Milwaukee were the “University of Wisconsin”, right? Most of what we now call the “comprehensives” (ie Eau Claire, La Crosse) were the Wisconsin State Universities, with their own system of Governance.
The past 38 years haven't been a disaster for the Madison campus. You're going to need to come up with a stronger argument than “we're different” for splitting the system up.
Atomic clocks need to receive a radio signal to work. If you are in a metal skinned building, you may need to move the clock near to a glass window. Do portable broadcast radios work in your house? find a spot where they work the best, and try putting a clock there.

Hi, JT here. I recently received a Projection Alarm Clock as a gift and thought that it was just the coolest thing ever. I've started giving them to friends and thought I'd do a little research and put a site together about Projection Clocks and Atomic Clocks. I hope you enjoy!
