			<title><![CDATA[Odd Wisconsin: City pioneer mastered hard work, heavy drinking]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/local/wonder//301496</link>
			<description><![CDATA[We usually picture our founding fathers as dignified, white-bearded patriarchs. But some of them were just drunks.  One such was Pinneo -- no one knew if it was his first or last name -- who, with a drinking buddy, was remembered as &quot;the kind of pioneers it necessarily takes to build up a new country. Good workmen and useful in their way, and when on a bender they were the liveliest as well as the noisiest boys ... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Just Ask Us: Addresses on Highland Avenue follow compass]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/local/wonder//301305</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Q. Why does the street numbering on Highland Avenue seem so confusing? UW Hospital is 600, the Health Sciences Learning Center is 750, the American Family Children&#39;s Hospital is 1655, and across the street the Waisman Center is 1500. And where does Highland end? A. The general rule in Madison is that on north-south streets, addresses on the east side are odd and those on the west side are even. On east-west streets, the south side ... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Catching Up: Scanner to detect fake IDs is OK, stores say]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/local/wonder//301150</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Downtown retailers are reporting good early use of new ID scanners provided free by UW-Madison, but they note that a bigger test for the devices begins in the coming weeks. &quot;After (the students move back) and then obviously when classes start on (Sept.) 4, that&#39;ll be more of a benchmark,&quot; said Richard Schober, owner of MacTaggart&#39;s Market, 230 Lakelawn Place.  Schober received one of the free scanners, valued at $1,000, in early July with seven other stores ... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[SOS: He wasn&#39;t in prison, but SSA informed him that he was]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/local/wonder//301051</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Four months after the Social Security Administration mistakenly notified him that he was in prison, Terry Smith might be wishing it were true.  At least in prison, he wouldn&#39;t have to worry about having a roof over his head or a TV to watch, or where his next meal will come from.  Smith, who has AIDS, got a letter from the administration in mid-April saying it had discovered he was recently sent to prison and was ... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Curiosities: Many middle-aged people develop allergies]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/local/wonder//300671</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Q. Do some people get allergies later in life -- for example, a reaction to penicillin? A. About 25 percent of all people who struggle with allergies develop them after age 30, said Dr. Thomas Puchner, clinical professor of allergy and immunology in the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.  The adult-onset varieties can be triggered by all of the usual suspects, he said. Outside, it&#39;s trees, grass, ragweed, pollen and outdoor mold, while inside it ... ]]></description>

			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/local/wonder//300497</link>
			<description><![CDATA[We associate free love, health food and New Age spirituality with the 1960s counterculture, but more than a century ago those ideas were championed by a remarkable Wisconsin woman. Born in New York, Juliet Severance (1833-1919) embraced the anti-slavery movement, temperance and women&#39;s rights while just a teenager in the 1840s. She was one of the first women to enter medical school, earning her M.D. in 1858. Finding that scientific medicine did not always work, she ... ]]></description>
