All translations are my own. In citing classical Sanskrit texts I have referenced the chapter and verse of the original source and have also cited the secondary source of the translated material. All other citations are quoted verbatim even when the English usage is idiosyncratic and not consistent with the prose style or spelling conventions employed in the main text. A translation of single words or short phrases appears in the first instance of use and sometimes again if the same word or phrase is used subsequently much later in the text.

  • Gaining and Maintaining Young People in Wisconsin Communities
    Gaining and Maintaining Young People in Wisconsin Communities Final Report, December 2017 Summary There is concern across Wisconsin and the nation that young people are leaving rural areas and small towns for more urban areas. This research explored whether there may be exceptions to those trends—smaller and more rural places that were gaining and maintaining young adults. Methods From fall of 2015 to summer of 2016 we did demographic research that studied all Wisconsin municipalities (cities, villages, and towns) to identify communities gaining and maintaining young adult populations. We measured gaining by looking at the absolute number of people aged 20-39, in five year cohorts, for census years 1990, 2000, and 2010. We measured maintaining by looking at the proportional size of the young adult population, on average, across those census years. From fall of 2016 to summer of 2017 we conducted interviews in twelve case study communities that were gaining and maintaining young adults, representing all regions of the state, to learn why people thought young adult populations were stronger in those places. We interviewed 210 people. The interviews averaged an hour. Findings The demographic research yielded three important findings: Only about 15% of Wisconsin communities are gaining and maintaining young adults. Communities in Wisconsin's most urban area—Milwaukee county—fare as bad or worse than many rural areas in losing young adults. Communities that are gaining and maintaining young adults are much more likely to be near cities and freeways. The case study research yielded five important qualities of communities that are important for attracting young adults: Perceived quality of schools.

  • In the Court of Appeals of Iowa
    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA No. 17-0680 Filed October 10, 2018 STATE OF IOWA, Plaintiff-Appellee, vs. ELIAS WALTER WANATEE, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Duane E. Hoffmeyer, Judge. A defendant appeals his conviction for murder in the second degree. AFFIRMED. Mark C. Smith, State Appellate Defender, and Theresa R. Wilson, Assistant Appellate Defender, for appellant. Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, and Louis S. Sloven, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Heard by Vogel, P.J., Tabor, J., and Blane, S.J.* *Senior judge assigned by order under Iowa Code section 602.9206 (2018). 2 TABOR, Judge. Elias Wanatee appeals his conviction for second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Vernon Mace. Wanatee claims his trial counsel was ineffective in two ways: (1) by not effectively objecting to hearsay testimony relaying Mace’s identification of “Eli” as his attacker, and (2) by not seeking to exclude testimony from “a jailhouse snitch.” Relatedly, Wanatee argues the cumulative effect of counsel’s errors prejudiced his chances of acquittal. Wanatee also faults the district court for allowing the state medical examiner to describe two of Mace’s nine cuts as “defensive wounds” and for admitting into evidence a diagram from a forensic pathology textbook illustrating the concept of “defensive wounds.” To answer Wanatee’s first two claims, we find no shortfall in counsel’s performance. Because the victim’s statements qualified as dying declarations, counsel did not need to object. And because the informant’s testimony was admissible, counsel did not breach a duty in choosing impeachment over exclusion.
