Here are the headlines:
A judge has agreed to continue force-feedings for a man convicted in a Waukesha County murder-for-hire scheme...
A new study shows that seniors who eat baked-and-broiled fish stay mentally sharp and physically coordinated...
The state government's job Web site has added new some new improvements and thousands more job openings...
A foundation that preserves the work of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright is getting a new leader from Wisconsin.
Here are the details:
A man convicted in a murder-for-hire scheme in Waukesha County will continue to get involuntary force-feedings and medical exams until he's sentenced December 20th. Circuit Judge James Kieffer extended those involuntary actions yesterday for Darren Wold. He had refused to take food or medicines for almost three weeks after he was convicted November second -- and Kieffer approved a temporary request for the involuntary feedings-and-exams on November 22nd. The 43-year-old Wold faces life in prison, after he and Jack Johnson were found guilty of hiring Justin Welch to kill Wold's ex-girlfriend. Kimberly Smith was murdered over two years ago in her Oconomowoc home, and authorities said it was because Wold wanted sole custody of their young son. Waukesha County prosecutors tried to get Wold's sentencing moved up to tomorrow -- but defense lawyers said they couldn't make it until the 20th. Yesterday's hearing was closed to the public over the objection of news reporters. The defense wanted the closed hearing because Wold's personal health information was brought up.

The next time Wisconsin senior citizens go to a fish fry, they'll really help themselves if they can choose baked-or-broiled fish. A new study shows that seniors who eat baked fish on a regular basis lose fewer brain cells -- and they do better on cognitive tests. The study was presented yesterday at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. Over 250 seniors were asked in 1990 how much baked-and-broiled fish they ate. Ten years later, they underwent brain scans and cognitive tests. And doctors found that those eating the fish are five times less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairments over a five-year period. Medical College of Wisconsin neurologist Piero Antuono says baked fatty fish has more of the Omega-Three fats that can improve brain health. Antuono, who did not take part in the study, said a regular diet of baked fish has a protective mental effect. But if seniors can't resist the fried fish, doctors say they won't get the benefits. That's because fried fish does not improve the volumes of gray matter in the brain.

The state government's job Web site has added over 100-thousand job openings posted on other employment sites. The Job Center of Wisconsin site listed 31-thousand of its own job openings yesterday -- plus 104-thousand others that were posted elsewhere. Workforce Development Secretary Reggie Newson says the site has also added postings from Twitter and Facebook, which expand the tools available to help both employers and job seekers. The state's Web site first went up three years ago. You'll find it at JobCenterOfWisconsin-Dot-Com.

A foundation that preserves the work of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright is getting a new leader from Wisconsin. He's Sean Malone, who's leaving a foundation he started 15 years ago to save the Ten Chimneys home in Waukesha County. Ten Chimneys is the home of the late theater legends Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt in Genesee Depot. Malone will join the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation on February first. He'll take over for interim C-E-O Anne Maley. Wright started the foundation himself in 1940 in Scottsdale Arizona. It's a cultural-and-education center, and it's the primary conservator of Wright's work.
