Here are the details:
Hundreds of students from China would attend U-W Milwaukee under a five-year recruiting agreement that's expected to be signed today in Beijing. U-W-M Chancellor Michael Lovell is scheduled to sign an agreement with an education network run by the Chinese government. The network would recruit students throughout China, and others could sign up on their own. Up to 50 Chinese students would attend U-W-M next fall, and the numbers would rise each year to around 250 by 2015. Officials said the arrangement would increase the school's international profile, bring in millions in out-of-state tuition dollars, and create new workers for Milwaukee businesses that now operate in China. About a-thousand international students attend U-W Milwaukee now, and a quarter of them are from China. The new arrangement is being signed on Mayor Tom Barrett's trade mission to China which began yesterday. The U-W Board of Regents must still act on the deal. It's up for approval at a meeting of the Regents later this week.

Governor Scott Walker apparently took a big gamble when he announced in July that Wisconsin had over half the nation's increase in total jobs in June. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the Republican governor was warned by the Workforce Development department three days in advance that the June job figures were quote, "very questionable" and "suspect." But Walker announced them anyway, and he gave credit to a "rebirth in tourism." The figures showed that 95-hundred of the 18-thousand jobs gained nationally in June were from Wisconsin. Walker called it "incredibly good news," at a time when his policies were questioned and six of his party's senators were about to face recall elections in the following month. The announced monthly job numbers are based on a partial survey of Wisconsin's employers, and are adjusted later when the full surveys are complete. Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie said his office never tried to hide the fact the governor used preliminary numbers in his announcement. And he said they quote, "qualified it appropriately." As it turned out, the June job numbers were actually understated. Workforce Development officials said the final job increase for June was actually revised upward by about two-thousand jobs. The next month, jobs fell by almost 11-thousand. And another agency memo quoted by the Journal Sentinel said the June spike was quote, "always suspect." Assembly Democratic Leader Peter Barca said he thought Walker's numbers were too rosy at the time.

Power has been restored in northern Wisconsin, where over 32-hundred customers were left in the dark by heavy, wet snow during the weekend. Wisconsin Public Service reported no outages as of 3:45 this morning. Most of the weekend power interruptions were in the Tomahawk, Rhinelander, and Wabeno areas. Winchester in Vilas County had the most snow, with seven inches. Medford almost had seven inches. Mondovi in Buffalo County and Alvin in Forest County had just over five-and-a-half. Lesser amounts fell in western and north central Wisconsin. More light snow is expected today in western and southern Wisconsin, plus the Lake Superior Snow Belt. Highs will be in the 20's-and-30's.

A woman was killed in Superior yesterday, after she drove her S-U-V into Lake Superior. According to police, the woman drove off the end of a street at a high rate of speed late yesterday morning. And her vehicle rolled down a hillside before it landed in the lake, just off a boat landing. Officers said they found the vehicle partially submerged, and the woman was wearing a seat belt in the driver's seat. Her name was not immediately released.
