night.

QB outlook is two good - Two summers ago, Aaron Rodgers was a giant question mark and

Matt Flynn was a rookie fighting to make the team. Fast forward 24 months. Green Bay's

quarterback position rivals any in the National Football League.

Browns shred first-team defense - When you saw them last, Green Bay's defenders were

shredded for 531 total yards and 51 points in a playoff loss to Arizona. Seven months

later, things looked eerily familiar.

Special Reports

Without FEMA, community looks inward - Faced with denial of federal flood damage aid to

Milwaukee residents, one city neighborhood is looking within itself for help for victims

of July's deluges.

Volunteers to assist flood victims - Even as state officials appeal the Federal Emergency

Management Agency's decision not to award individual aid, others are asking members of the

community to help victims, preparing for the looming reality that no government funding

will come.

MMSD may boost funds for private lateral work - Homeowners who complained of sewage in

their basements in the wake of torrential rains and flooding July 22 have a role to play

in solving the problem, municipal officials said Wednesday, and the Milwaukee Metropolitan

Sewerage District might ante up $150 million to help pay costs.
