On this episode of Discover Janesville with Yuri Rashkin:  
Jaysen Jorgensen is a mild-mannered insurance agent by day, and a
community booster by night.  Actually, Jaysen is a community
booster 24 hours a day.  He stopped by the Janesville
Community Radio studio to talk about the different projects where
he is involved, working to make Janesville a better place to work
and play.  Jaysen also shared his experience being tased for a
good cause at 2013 National Night Out celebration, why he rides for
causes and why he believes the goals of Project 16:49 can be
achieved.   Melissa Atkins Wardy stopped by the studio to talk
about her website, book and business centered on helping
parents embrace the unique gender nature of their child.  What
began as a business selling t-shirts that promote girls in science
and medicine, Melissa is now running a popular blog called "Pigtail
Pals and Ballcap Buddies" and has written a book called "Redefining
Girly".   Our resident expert Dan Hartung, stopped in to talk
about what it takes to get noticed on Facebook, and how having more
fans can cause a Facebook page to become less visible.
 Following our discussion on the pitfalls of the social media
behemoth, we discussed the economic outlook in Janesville, and what
closure of JC Penney means.  We concluded our conversation by
talking about a sad streak of violence and crime that made local,
national and international news in recent days, and what may be
some of its root causes.   Be in the know.  Discover
