WEST ALLIS, WI (WTAQ) - A mother is in custody in connection with Thursday's house fire in West Allis that killed three of her young children.
Officials told a news conference Friday that 4-year-old twin boys died in the fire, along with a 5-year-old girl.
There was no adult in the house when the fire started late Thursday afternoon, and police say they're questioning the mother.
Neighbors have said the family also has a baby, but that person was not home when the fire broke out.
Officials said smoke detectors were working on both floors of the two-story house. The victims' names were not released as of early Friday afternoon.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives continue to investigate the blaze – along with the state Justice Department and local authorities.

Rosa Parks
Published on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 - 8:15am
Quiet Courage
On December 1, 1955, a shy, unassuming woman became internationally prominent.
Rosa Parks never intended to have one seemingly simple decision transform her life and history. But because she couldn't think of any reason to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus, Martin Luther King Jr. was catapulted to the forefront of the nascent civil rights movement, and America was changed forever.
Petworth Library currently has a display of books about Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott, including:
|Rosa Parks: From the Back of the Bus to the Front of the Movement
by Camilla Wilson
|Rosa Parks: The Courage to Make a Difference
by Sneed B. Collard
|She Would Not Be Moved
by Herbert R. Kohl
|Quiet Strength

Montreal Grand Prix: The PUMA PerspectiveJune 19, 2011
When reflecting upon the last three races in Montmelo (Spain), Monte Carlo (Monaco) and Montreal (Canada), one thing stands out: PUMA's partner team Ferrari was right up there on each occasion, and could conceivably have won (or at least taken podium places) in each event had not unfortunate circumstances conspired against the Italian team.
Eddie Jordan: Montreal PreviewJune 11, 2011
It really is great to be back in Canada. I know I say that about every race, and honestly feel that all Formula 1's venues are special, but I feel we can make an even more special case for Montreal. The race was struck off the calendar in 2009, and that was when Montreal realised the city can't do without Formula 1, and Formula 1 realised it can't do without Canada.

Advising First: Center for Exploratory Students
The Advising First Center for Exploratory Students at the Florida State University encourages students who are undecided in their major to place passion and purpose at the center of their educational decision making. Designed specifically for freshmen, the Exploratory program offers our multi-talented Seminoles the opportunity to develop greater self-awareness, discover the many options offered at the university, and declare departmental majors with confidence. With guidance from professional academic advisors, students complete the STEPS program, during which they are led through the three phases of exploration: self, major, and career. It is our goal that each Seminole's strengths, interests, values, and vision for the future merge together for the ultimate educational experience!

Here's an interesting twist to traditional sewer televising. Clay, plastic, concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, and other pipe materials don't conduct electricity well. So if it leaks electricity, chances are the pipe also leaks water. Even better, you know exactly where the leak starts and stops.
How well does it work (and how much does it cost)? The company urges potential customers to take Water Environment Research Foundation project INFR4R12 for ASTM F2550 performance (Sewer Lateral Electro Scan Field Pilot) results with a grain of salt because new technology requires new ways of interpreting data (check out YouTube for details).
At least one utility, the Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia, included the product in an RFP for an annual evaluation contract. Other users so far include the City of McKinney (Texas) Public Works Department's Water/Wastewater Division and Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you " Matthew 5:43-44 NASB
In the sixth and final contrasting statement that deals with righteousness that goes beyond action to attitude and character, Jesus describes love in action. While scripture taught that you were to love your neighbor, it was rationalized by many teachers of that day that it was proper and expected that you would hate your enemy.

Who are the most powerful, influential people on Twitter in the U.K.? Well, it's not the prime minister, the queen or even Kate Middleton . It's Liam , Harry , Louis , Niall and Zayn : One Direction .
Including to PeerIndex , which monitors the clout of Twitter users, the top five most influential tweeters are all five members of the group, with Liam taking the #1 spot, followed by Harry, Niall, Louis and Zayn. Number six is their friend Ed Sheeran . British prime minister David Cameron is #7.
To come up with the ranking, PeerIndex analyzed more than 10 billion tweets from more than 150 million active Twitter users, filtering out anyone who wasn't in the U.K., and then taking note of how many people were responding to, retweeting or engaging with certain tweeters. "The sheer volume of mentions and conversations generated by their legions of fans is hard to escape," says the PeerIndex report on One Direction.
As for other influential British celebs, Ricky Gervais is #10, Simon Cowell is #12, Olly Murs is #15 , Jessie J is #20 and Tom Parker from The Wanted is #22.
In other 1D news, the group will be featured in an upcoming special on the CW Network. Billed as an "album release party" for their new disc Midnight Memories , it'll feature a Q&A with the group, as well as a live performance. It airs December 9 at 9 p.m. ET.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen leaves Tuesday night on an overseas trip that will take him to Israel, reports CBS News national security correspondent David Martin. The trip has been scheduled for some time but U.S. officials say it comes just as the Israelis are mounting a full court press to get the Bush administration to strike Iran's nuclear complex. CBS consultant Michael Oren says Israel doesn't want to wait for a new administration. "The Israelis have been assured by the Bush administration that the Bush administration will not allow Iran to nuclearize," Oren said. "Israelis are uncertain about what would be the policies of the next administration vis-à-vis Iran." Israel's message is simple: If you don't, we will. Israel held a dress rehearsal for a strike earlier this month, but military analysts say Israel can not do it alone. "Keep in mind that Israel does not have strategic bombers," Oren said. "The Israeli Air Force is not the American Air Force. Israel can not eliminate Iran's nuclear program." The U.S. with its stealth bombers and cruise missiles has a much greater capability. Vice President Cheney is said to favor a strike, but both Mullen and Defense Secretary Gates are opposed to an attack which could touch off a third war in the region.

Took it slightly before 24 hours after brief contact, probably pre-ejaculatory but not full on ejaculatory. Still, very stupid and just as terrified. Took the pill, period came six days later. Took pregnancy test, came out negative. Period came for second time, officially, not pregnant. Side note: NextChoice worked just as well after a very scary life-threatening situation.

My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex because the condom really irritated me and although he pulled out, I was still paranoid about anything lingering in there, you know?

Rep. Jason Chaffetz suggested his support for legislation that would make it harder for the mentally disturbed to gain access to guns in the wake of Friday's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Chaffetz, R-Utah, traveled to Newtown to appear on ABC's This Week on Sunday, just two days after a young man killed 20 children and six adults at the town's elementary school. The shooter, Adam Lanza, also killed his mother prior to the school shooting and took his own life. Friends and acquaintances describe him as troubled.
"I think we should absolutely talk about the intersection of a lethal weapon and how it relates to mental health," Chaffetz said as part of This Week's panel.
But the Utah Republican didn't support more general gun control measures that Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., called for. She suggested reinstituting an assault weapons ban and requiring background checks on weapons purchased at gun shows or from an individual.
"We've got to get the guns. We just do," she said.
Chaffetz said in the immediate aftermath of the shooting there has been "a lot of conjecture out there that I don't think will necessarily solve this particular problem."
"I'm a concealed carry permit holder. I own a Glock 23. I've got a shotgun. I'm not the person you need to worry about and there are millions of Americans who deal with this properly," he said. "But we have to look at the mental health access."
President Barack Obama has said it is time to take "meaningful action" to stop or at least reduce mass shootings, though he has not specified what that might be. In the second presidential debate, earlier this year, Obama did mention limited access to weapons by the mentally ill.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., also appeared on This Week, and said he's prepared to push for new gun control measures, though he wants to delay a detailed discussion of his ideas "out of respect for the families and their grief."
A former state attorney general, Blumenthal said: "We need to do something at the very least about the high-capacity magazines used in this crime."
Beyond exploring changes to the mental health system or debating gun control, Chaffetz and Edwards agreed that the nation must confront "a culture of violence" that permeates video games and movies.
"I think the movie ratings are terribly misleading when it comes to violence, death and gore and glamorizing it," said Chaffetz. "We are also going to have to look at families and communities and churches. It is not just a government solution."

text: Hello from Siobhan. Let me start this with a great big disclaimer: These are my opinions about research and sources, and they don't necessarily reflect the opinions of other Laurels, or anyone else. They are also a set of opinions I have developed for use pretty exclusively in the SCA. I go by different criteria for academic research, but that's not really relevant here. I think it's important to understand that the terms primary, secondary, and tertiary do not refer to the quality of the source; they are referring to the distance of the relationship between the source and an actual item existing in period. To use a very simplified example: A garment from 1530 is a primary source. (I would also include a painting of a garment done in 1530 as a primary source, but several disagree with me.) A pattern draft taken from that garment and published in Janet Arnold is a secondary source. An article discussing the quality of the line drawing would be a tertiary source. Which type of source is best? Again, it's not a question of the quality of the source per se. It is more helpful to frame the question as "which type of source will tell me what I need to know?" If what you need to know is how to construct the garment, the most helpful source is likely to be the secondary one. It is extremely easy to look at a painting, or even an actual garment if it's behind glass and you can't flip and turn it, and come up with a construction method different from the one used in the original. You are more likely to duplicate the cut if you are working from a pattern drafted from the actual piece. Tertiary sources, too, can be invaluable. I would consider a tertiary source to be something like a critical essay, or perhaps a bibliography. For example, a critical overview of the 20 most readily available costume books, if written by someone knowledgeable, can save you many wasted hours with an inaccurate book, and can send you to the one that's best in your area first. Literary critics discussing the literature of the period and its symbolism will help you look for the unspoken ideas hidden within the plot of an epic. If you are trying to learn about their sense of design, what they thought was beautiful, color combination, decorative methods/motifs, etc., there is absolutely no substitute for immersing yourself in the actual art from the period. Spend hours looking at it. Even if you're only interested in costuming, read what they wrote about everything. Love poetry will give you insight into their ideals of feminine beauty, which in turn will give you insight into what women aspired to look like. No instruction manuals, archaeological site reports, or learned essays can substitute for this. It's the best way I know to connect with these people we strive to recreate, to "see with their eyes and think with their minds." And that, in the end, is the purpose of all the research I do. One of the most striking comments I ever read was in my college existential philosophy textbook; this statement has shaped my SCA endeavors ever since. The author stated that, no matter how well-versed we were in the culture, we could never read Dante's "Divine Comedy" the way his contemporaries read it, because the images of Heaven and Hell don't hold the same power and meaning for 20th century men and women. The gauntlet hit the floor, and ever since that moment, I've felt challenged to try to transcend the intervening scientific, technological and philosophical changes that shaped me as surely as their culture shaped them; to reach out across the centuries and react like a woman of their culture rather than mine. Look at the prow of a Norse ship, with its fierce carved dragon. Try to imagine how an Irish peasant woman with two small children felt when she saw it sailing up the river at dawn. Read the poetry of cloistered nuns, who wrote of their visions of nursing the infant Jesus, and realize how very immediate and concrete their God was. Try to cast aside the judgement of history on the Crusades or the Inquisition, and see if you can follow the cultural processes that gave rise to them. Try to judge them on their adherence to their belief system, not ours. I've given this discourse on research to try to explain why an area that seems like the "dull, tedious" part of A&S is, for me, the very heart and soul of what we do. Please, instead of worrying about how to "get enough documentation" for an entry, get excited by the challenge of creating something they might have created, and look at research as something that shows, not what you can't do, but you how many things you can. As always, friends, I welcome your thoughts on the subject.

SPOKANE, Wash. – Two people were fatally shot at Rockwood Cancer Treatment Center in the Deaconess Hospital complex Tuesday morning. Early reports indicated a man shot his wife and then himself, police said.
On Wednesday, the Spokane County Medical Examiner identified the female victim as Sheena M. Henderson, 30. She was shot multiple times according to the Medical Examiner.
The medical center is located near Downtown Spokane, along West 5th and Monroe.
Authorities said an employee called 911 to report the shooting around 9:30 a.m. Witnesses told KREM 2 News the man walked into a lab area with what looked like a pistol and ambushed Henderson. Witnesses said they heard six shots fired. They described the killing as 'cold' and 'targeted.' The shooting was reportedly carried out 'execution'-style.
Henderson was killed instantly, authorities said. Life-saving measures were performed on the man but he died in the emergency room, officials added.
Police said the shooting appeared to be domestic violence-related. Henderson worked at the hospital, according to authorities. People who knew the victim indicated she was getting a restraining order against her husband because of threats and other problems. Her coworkers said she was afraid of him . Authorities said the couple did have children. The children were reported to be safe and in the care of family members Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities said the suspect had a history of mental illness and was recently involved in a run-in with law enforcement.
"This incident is both a family and community tragedy," said Spokane Police Chief Straub. "The Spokane Police Department will thoroughly investigate this incident and continue to work closely with our law enforcement and community partners to address issues associated with domestic violence."
Investigators said the shooting was isolated to the seventh floor. Authorities said there were employees, but no patients, present when the shooting happened. Police shut down the area where the shooting occurred. Otherwise, access to the building was not restricted, officials said.
One witness told KREM 2 News she was waiting for her appointment on the third floor when security guards walked into the patient waiting area, told everyone there was a "code silver" and ushered everyone away from the doors and windows. The people were taken into exam rooms.
"No [I wasn't scared]," said the woman. "Everything was occurring. It was really clear that they'd practiced this and they were moving with confidence. And they were going through the motions to take care of everybody and make it safe."
WATCH: Deaconess staff trained for 'Code Silver' situation
The witness also said they were in the exam rooms for about 20 minutes before they were given the all-clear to leave.
Marc Downs, who lives nearby, said he walks in the area every morning with his baby son.
"Me and my child were coming down the hill for a little walk and we saw all the police cars and news people and just [were] wondering what was going on and stuff."
Detectives were called to the scene but SPD officials reported there was no threat to the public. Police assured employees and residents the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident.
Investigators began speaking with friends and relatives of the couple. Meanwhile, a tow truck arrived at the medical center to remove the suspect's vehicle, which had been parked in the complex's parking garage. Major Crimes detectives began processing the suspect and victim's vehicles.
Spokane Police Chaplains responded to the scene and assisted with grief counseling following the incident.
The hospital remained open for patients with appointments Tuesday, however the Cancer Treatment Center was closed for the rest of day. Staff in the lobby would be directing patients where to go, police said.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Dameyune Craig was one of the first people to know.
Two full days before state prosecutor Willie Meggs announced that Jameis Winston would not be charged with sexual assault, Craig, the assistant coach who recruited Winston to Florida State University, knew that the Seminoles' star quarterback would walk.
"He'll be fine," Craig told the Miami Herald at the time. "I can't talk about it, but he'll be fine."
That an assistant coach at Auburn University knew the outcome of FSU's messy controversy long before most everyone else raises more questions about the professionalism of the state attorney's office, but this is not another critique of the process that ultimately allowed Winston to be playing for a national championship on Monday night here in Southern California.
No, this is about another offshoot of the big business of college football. Recruiting is the heart of the beast, and because of that mechanism Winston will be playing for FSU inside the Rose Bowl and Craig will be an assistant coach for the Auburn Tigers.
Craig, a former quarterback for Auburn, was an assistant at FSU from 2010 to 2012. During his time in Tallahassee, Craig's most significant contribution to the Seminoles' program was pulling Winston out of Alabama amid the national success of that state's marquee teams.
In other words, outrecruiting University of Alabama coach Nick Saban for Alabama's best college-football prospect in years solidified Craig as one of the nation's elite recruiters, landed him a job at his alma mater and delivered a future Heisman Trophy winner to the Seminoles.
Winston's Seminoles play Craig's Tigers on Monday at the Rose Bowl, so when Craig gushes about Winston and says things like, "I wouldn't be where I am without him," it's not just more hyperbole from a football coach. It's the literal truth.
Stealing Winston away from Alabama and Auburn made Craig's career. The assistant coach began recruiting Winston when the high school phenom was in the 10th grade at Hueytown (Ala.) High, and the enduring relationship between the two adds another intriguing angle to a college football national championship that's saturated with subplots and back-story.
Winston's bond with Craig has remained strong long after the coach left for Auburn, a school that's only 193 country miles to the northwest of Tallahassee.
"My main man," Winston said of Craig upon winning the Heisman. "I still love that man today."
Craig might be wearing enemy colors this week, but he is still connected enough with FSU and Winston that he knew well in advance of Meggs' public announcement that the state attorney would be delivering positive news to FSU on Dec. 5. Winston said last week that he considers Craig "like an uncle to me," and "he helped me handle everything and prepared me for the situations that I am in now."
Florida State is an overwhelming favorite (10 points, according to Las Vegas) to win the national title, but Craig's insider knowledge of FSU and Winston can only help the underdog Tigers. Craig knows what makes Winston tick, and, in one respect, no matter its perceived insignificance, Winston's routine in preparation for this game — the biggest game of his career — already has been affected by his relationship with Craig.
Even though Craig left for Auburn last year, he has remained in communication with Winston and has been a constant source of support.
"Just not this week," Winston said.
This week, Winston will be working directly with FSU coach Jimbo Fisher, and Craig will be helping direct Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall. Marshall was Craig's first big-name recruit as the co-offensive coordinator for Auburn.
If you're counting at home, that means Craig recruited both starting quarterbacks for Monday night's big game.
And, of course, there's a South Florida angle to this twist as well, because, when it comes to national news, there always seems to be a South Florida connection.
In 2005, Craig was a young assistant special-teams coach for Saban's Miami Dolphins. Saban hired Craig as a graduate assistant at Louisiana State and then brought him along to Davie.
But Saban cut Craig loose after leaving for Alabama, a decision that came back to haunt Saban this season and, of course, directly affects the matchup of this, the final BCS National Championship Game.

Melaka is the historical state of Malaysia. This means that it is one of the most visited states in the country the offers many landmarks and attractions that include historical and heritage buildings as well as architecture and culture. With thousands of visitors coming into the state on a daily basis, there are many accommodation choices for tourists from both the local and international markets. Here one can find accommodation choices that range from the upscale 5 star hotels to the B & Bs and homestays.
One will find that in the city centre, most accommodation choices are hotels and inns as they are very much catered to visitors to the town and hence many homestay operators are located within the outer layer of the city center. However, there are many other choices of homestays that are situated in the major towns of Melaka in Alor Gajah, Ayer Keroh and others.

Kellen Clemens | QB | San Diego Chargers
Posted: 10/29/2013 12:10am et
St. Louis Rams QB Kellen Clemens was 15-of-31 for 158 yards, no TDs and 2 interceptions Monday, Oct. 28 in a 14-9 loss to the visiting Seattle Seahawks.
Huddle Up: Clemens, starting in place of the injured Sam Bradford, had a strong running game (200 yards on 37 attempts) on his side and did have his moments through the air, but couldn't find a way to get the Rams into the end zone vs. a tough Seattle D. They'll be better days and better matchups ahead, but the St. Louis passing game as whole remains in shaky fantasy territory.
Posted: 10/21/2013 10:50pm et
Updating a previous report, St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said QB Kellen Clemens will be the starting quarterback for the team's Week 8 game.
Huddle Up: Clemens, in his third year with the Rams, has made 12 career NFL starts, including 3 with St. Louis to close out the 2011 season. In those contests, he completed 52.7 percent of his passes, averaging 182 yards per game with 2 TDs and an interception. The Rams dropped all 3 games.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) - New York Jets running back Mike Goodson is due in court in New Jersey for a proceeding related to his arrest last month on drug and weapons charges.
Goodson was arrested last month along with a friend after they were found in a car stopped on Interstate 80. The men were charged with marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and weapons offenses stemming from a 45-caliber semi-automatic handgun that included a hollow-point bullet found in the vehicle.
Goodson has pleaded not guilty and has taken part in some preseason practices with the Jets.
The 25-year-old played three seasons for Carolina and one for Oakland before the Jets signed him to a 3-year, $6.9 million deal.
Wednesday's hearing is scheduled for state Superior Court in Morristown.

Pomerene Hospital Earns Top Performer on Key Quality Measures Recognition from Joint Commission

Pomerene Hospital Earns 'Top Performer on Key Quality Measures TM' Recognition from The Joint Commission
(Millersburg, OH) - Pomerene Hospital today was named one of the nation's Top Performers on Key Quality Measures by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. Pomerene Hospital was recognized by The Joint Commission for exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for certain conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, surgical care, children's asthma, stroke, and venous thromboembolism.
Pomerene Hospital is one of 620 hospitals in the U.S., and one of 20 in Ohio, earning the distinction of Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance. Pomerene was recognized for its achievement on the following measure sets: pneumonia and surgical care. The ratings are based on an aggregation of accountability measure data reported to The Joint Commission during the 2011 calendar year. The list of Top Performers increased by 50 percent from its debut last year and represents 18 percent of accredited hospitals reporting data.
Each of the hospitals that were named as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures met two 95 percent (95/95) performance thresholds on 2011 accountability measure data. First, each hospital achieved performance of 95 percent or above on a single, composite score that includes all the accountability measures for which it reports data to The Joint Commission, including measures that had fewer than 30 eligible cases or patients. Second, each hospital met or exceeded 95 percent performance on every accountability measure for which it reports data to The Joint Commission, excluding any measures with fewer than 30 eligible cases or patients. A 95 percent score means a hospital provided an evidence-based practice 95 times out of 100 opportunities to provide the practice. Each accountability measure represents an evidence-based practice - for example, giving aspirin at arrival for heart attack patients, giving antibiotics one hour before surgery, and providing a home management plan for children with asthma.
"When we raise the bar and provide the proper guidance and tools, hospitals have responded with excellent results," says Mark R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P., M.P.H., president, The Joint Commission. "This capacity for continual improvement points toward a future in which quality and safety defects are dramatically reduced and high reliability is sought and achieved with regularity. Such day-to-day progress will slowly but surely transform today's health care system into one that achieves unprecedented performance outcomes for the benefit of the patients."
"We understand that what matters most to patients at Pomerene Hospital is safe, effective care. That's why Pomerene has made a commitment to accreditation and to positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes. Pomerene is proud to be named to the list of The Joint Commission's Top Performers on Key Quality Measures," stated Tony Snyder, CEO of Pomerene Hospital.
"This truly was a team effort," stated Nicole Kolacz, CNO of Pomerene Hospital. "We recognize and appreciate the hard work of our Medical Staff, Physician Leaders, Quality Department, Clinical Staff and Nursing Staff for making this recognition possible."
In addition to being included in the release of The Joint Commission's "Improving America's Hospitals" annual report, Pomerene Hospital will be recognized on The Joint Commission's Quality Check website (http://www.qualitycheck.org/). The Top Performer program will be featured in the November issue of The Joint Commission Perspectives and the October issue of The Joint Commission: The Source.

I've often been asked to share the most surprising thing I've learned about Woody Allen after spending two years making "Woody Allen: A Documentary." My stock answer can be distilled to this: "He's a fake."
What I mean is that the public persona we've come to know as the "Woody Allen character" is just that — a character. The three N's so often used to describe the public Allen are nebbishy, nervous and neurotic. But the contrast between the Woody character and the "real" Allen is never more in focus than when he's on the set, directing.

Housing round-up: LGBT tenants, a singing protest, and a very sad mural
At today's (Tue/11) Board of Supervisors meeting, Sup. David Campos is introducing legislation to encourage large-scale developers to protect the housing rights of the LGBT community.
Same-sex couples nationwide are more likely to experience discrimination in their search for senior housing, a study by the Washington, D.C. based Equal Rights Center found.
To investigate, testers posed as gay or straight couples with otherwise nearly identical credentials, then submitted inquiries on senior housing in 10 different states. They discovered that in 96 out of 200 tests, those posing as lesbian, gay or bisexual residents experienced at least one type of adverse, differential treatment.
Meanwhile, according to the National Center for Transgender Equality, one in five transgender U.S. residents has been refused a home or apartment, and more than one in ten has been evicted, because of their gender identity.
Federal law does not expressly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. California law does, as do laws in 19 other states. Given these gaps in legal protection, real-estate providers can adopt their own policies to prohibit LGBT discrimination.
Campos' proposal would require large-scale developers who wish to build in San Francisco to prove their commitment to equal housing opportunities.
"We want to know whether a developer hoping to build in San Francisco is protecting LGBT housing rights when they own or manage housing in states where legal protections don't exist," Campos explained. "By collecting this information, we can highlight best practices and urge those who do not have these policies to do the right thing."
Under the legislation, developers would indicate whether they have national policies prohibiting LGBT discrimination. The Human Rights Commission would compile those policies and present it annually to the Board of Supervisors.
Elsewhere on the housing front, POOR Magazine founder Lisa Gray-Garcia (aka "Tiny") led a group of anti-eviction activists into City Hall this morning, where they broke into song to call attention to the eviction of a family from a public-housing unit in the Fillmore neighborhood. They linked the eviction with a broader trend of African American out-migration from San Francisco, and sang spirituals.
Gray-Garcia reported that the group, which she estimates at roughly 30 people, encountered resistance from the Sheriff's deputies who provide security in City Hall. "They said we were an unlawful assembly because we were singing," she said. So the protesters proceeded upstairs, whispering, to stand outside Mayor Ed Lee's office. Then they broke into song again, she said.
"We're talking about a family about to be evicted tomorrow, that's how serious this is," Gray-Garcia told us. She said she'd spoken to someone from the mayor's office, Carl Nicita, who "to his credit, he listened to us and he said 'I'm going to tell the mayor.'" (We're working on finding out more about the eviction and how the city will respond.)
As a final housing-related tidbit, head over to the Mission to check out the new Clarion Alley "Wall of Shame" mural, featuring a list of what the artists perceive to be the root forces of gentrification (Both Google buses and corporate giveaways to tech companies made the list).
Inscribed on some tombstones near the bottom: "So long San Francisco, As We Knew It. (Historic Counter-Culture & All.)"
On the flip side, the artists also included a list of solutions.

Found February 06, 2013 on Turn On The Jets:
PLAYERS: Quinton Coples, Chad Henne, Cameron Bradfield, Ellis Lankster, Dwight Freeney
TEAMS: New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts
TEAMS: New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts
Rookie defensive end Quinton Coples has divided opinion amongst Jets fans ever since it was announced at Radio City last spring that he'd been selected as their first round draft choice. The former North Carolina man arrived in New Jersey with several question marks against his name and, if popular opinion is to be believed, many of those question marks will follow him into his sophomore year. For various reasons, however (mainly that it's difficult to untangle the melee of line play during a live broadcast), defensive linemen are often harshly judged by fans unless they're producing JJ Watt-esque stat lines. So, with that in mind, let's break down a tell-tale play from 2012 in an attempt to make a true evidence-based assessment of what kind of player the Jets have in Coples. Going back to Week 14 when the Jets squared off with the Jacksonville Jaguars, let's consider an effort that showcases several of Coples's talents (and a couple of weaknesses) all in one go. Trailing by a touchdown with 0:27 left on the clock in the 4th quarter, the Jaguars are threatening to tie things up with a 1st & 10 on the Jets 28-yard-line. The Jags are out in 10 personnel (Picture 1) with Chad Henne operating from the shotgun, while the Jets are matched up in their dime defense. Coples (red) is lined up in the 5 technique at right end. Picture 1 When the ball is snapped, Coples immediately delivers an effective strike directly into the chest of right tackle Cameron Bradfield and then disengages (Picture 2). Picture 2 His strength and arm length provide Coples with almost two yards of space to work with, and as he disengages he simultaneously turns his hips to show Bradfield that he's about to use his speed to beat him on the inside (Picture 3). Picture 3 But as soon as Bradfield commits, Coples plants his left foot (Picture 4) and drives in directly the opposite direction. Picture 4 Left completely flat-footed by Coples's agility (Picture 5), the tackle then tries to get a left arm up into the chest area, but the rookie defender soon fights off Bradfield's attempt by using both arms to slap at him. Picture 5 As Henne draws back his arm to release the throw, Coples is now bearing down on him with menace (Picture 6). Yet although the rookie's work has been literally foot perfect up until this time, at this point his inexperience leads him to commit a minor mistake. Picture 6 By this stage a more experienced player would most likely have given up on the prospect of sacking the quarterback and would instead have instinctively raised his arms in the hope of tipping the pass. Coples, on the other hand, chooses to become airborne (Picture 7) and thereby not only misses out on the opportunity of a deflection but also runs the risk of being called for a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty. Picture 7 In terms of penalties last year, Coples was somewhat of a liability, with flags being thrown against him on 1 out of every 103.2 snaps. (The only Jet worse than him in this category was Ellis Lankster, who drew one flag per 83.75 snaps). If this were Coples's second or third year in the league, that statistic may be a cause for concern, but in a rookie year it can easily be written off as exuberance borne from inexperience. To summarize then, Coples's rare combination of arm-length, agility, speed, and strength all add up to make him a nightmare for any offensive lineman to deal with one-on-one. But as experience enables him to improve even further, it's likely that he'll begin seeing more and more double-teams. This is why, for my money, Coples will not be the finished article until he can add an effective spin move (a la Dwight Freeney) to his repertoire. But if (or more likely when) he does, the league had better look out, because the early indications are that Coples clearly displays all of the hallmarks that indicate the presence of a truly fearsome pass-rusher.

Comments On Sep 08, 2014:This tire holds up under New England Rock and Rooted trails. I'm not good at avoiding nasty rocks or roots. My 2008 WR450 just drags me up and over anything I point it at putting extra pressure on these tires and tubes.
I haven't had a pinch flat yet - and that says a lot !!
These tires hold up well -the only down side - they like to climb ruts.

Comments On Sep 03, 2014:I swapped the stock OEM MX51 for this M59. The bike turns much better and does not wash out on turns.
I will replace this tire with another M59 when I gets worn.

School-readiness advice and exciting events free for kids and parents
Surrounded by a group of soon-to-be kindergarteners and the city's most prominent leaders, Metro United Way's Success By 6 kicked off Kindergarten Countdown 2010 today at the Children's Department of the newly renovated Louisville Free Public Library. This annual effort offers families free advice and free fun to get prepared for the first year of school together.
"Metro United Way's long term goal is that by 2018, all children in our community arrive at kindergarten prepared to succeed, and it is an honor that so many partners have come together for Kindergarten Countdown as they care about this goal, too," says Joe Tolan, President and CEO of Metro United Way. "This is our fifth year of supporting Kindergarten Countdown and we look forward to continuing the tradition of providing a wonderful summer of activities helping prepare our children and families for kindergarten."
As a parent and our city's leader, Mayor Abramson knows that starting Kindergarten is a big deal in more ways than one.
"Kindergarten officially marks the start of your child's school career," says Mayor Abramson. "But making sure they are prepared and excited about learning before they head to school next fall is going to help your child get the most out of their education."
Getting involved in Kindergarten Countdown 2010 is easy. Parents and children can visit any of the 17 branches of the Louisville Free Public Library. The child will receive a free "I'm Going To Kindergarten" tee shirt and the book, "Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come!", underwritten by the generosity of PNC Bank. The tee
shirt will serve as a free pass for the incoming kindergartener and an accompanying adult to get into the city's most exciting cultural attractions. At some events, additional adults and other guests may be required to pay admission.
Chuck Denny, Regional President of PNC Bank says PNC's employees are excited to open new doors for our community's newest students.
"PNC's support of this early childhood education program is another strategic initiative to help our non-profit partners, preschools and caregivers develop stronger, smarter and healthier families and communities. Through this grant, we expect children will enjoy meaningful experiences that would not otherwise be possible."
Here is the list of Kindergarten Countdown 2010 events:
The program's main event is the Kindergarten Countdown Fair on Tuesday, July 27 at Louisville Slugger Field from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. See the Louisville Bats play, meet people from local schools and community organizations and get lots of fun, free stuff for your kindergartener.
Students will also receive information about immunizations, health screenings and skills they should know before starting kindergarten. Students will also be able to meet teachers and tour a school bus. Local law enforcement authorities will prepare identification badges for children.
Craig Buthod, Executive Director of the Louisville Free Public Library views the library's role in Kindergarten Countdown as essential.
"The Louisville Free Public Library supports Kindergarten Countdown because we believe young children deserve every opportunity to succeed, " says Craig Buthod. We are looking forward to seeing lots of our community's newest students in the library this summer as parents help them build a foundation and a love of reading," adds Buthod.
Dr. Sheldon Berman, Superintendant of Jefferson County Public Schools believes there is a direct relationship between student achievement and community engagement.
Our teachers and staff are committed to preparing the young people of this community for the future, says Berman, "This partnership shows that community leaders, business leaders, and parents understand the importance of making sure our children are ready for and excited about the journey ahead."Jefferson County Public Schools has developed a comprehensive checklist for parents to help their children get ready for kindergarten:
Reading & Oral Language
Personal Care and Safety
Social Skills
*Jefferson County Public Schools believes that children develop and learn things at different rates and times. These are only suggested skills and may or may not be representative of your child's unique abilities.
Kindergarten Countdown is a partnership between Metro United Way Success By 6, the city, Jefferson County Public Schools, the Louisville Free Public Library, and PNC Bank.. The agencies work throughout the year to increase school readiness and to educate parents and children about the transition to kindergarten.

The raised ranch house is a split-level spinoff of the classic
one-story ranch style that was created in California during the
1930s. Both went national in the '50s and '60s and became
popular in the rapidly growing suburbs of the time. They
feature open plans and horizontal massing. Other trademarks
include low-pitched gable roofs, deep overhangs, picture
windows, and a rectangular or ell-shaped footprint. Ranch-style
houses were among the first modern houses, though they often
retained some colonial overtones.
The raised ranch, in particular, was developed as an
affordable upgrade from the conventional single-story ranch.
Thanks to a partially submerged first level, it included a
second level for little more than the expense of a one-story
dwelling. A built-in garage and family room generally occupied
the first level, with additional living spaces and bedrooms on
the second. An entry level midway between the two primary
floors provided access both up and down with short stair
Today, the raised ranch house is found almost everywhere.
While some of these houses are successful pure examples of the
early modern style, many more are cheap knockoffs —
inappropriately sited, poorly built, and lacking both detail
and charm.
If property values or
budget restraints put extensive renovations out of
reach, a number of simple modifications can be used
to improve a raised ranch:
• Make the entry evident from the front of
the house and make it more welcoming with the
addition of sidelights or flanking tall windows and
possibly a dormer or transom window.
• If the raised ranch in question features a
pronounced second-story overhang, consider a small
addition as deep as or deeper than the overhang to
eliminate a top-heavy appearance.
• Size window units so that larger windows
are at the lower level and smaller windows are on
the upper level, establishing a hierarchy of a more
public base and a more private upper level. Group
windows to achieve the daylight level you desire in
balance with the overall elevation.
• Remove plastic and inappropriately sized
shutters. Upgrade to wood if possible. Shutters
should be sized so that when closed, they cover the
entire window sash. Shutters are a colonial-style
holdover that may best be eliminated.
• Downplay overhead garage doors by
introducing bays or other detailed window groupings
that suggest a more human scale while adding depth
and interest to the garage elevation.
• Reduce the apparent scale of standard
paneled overhead doors by replacing them with
overhead doors that are designed to appear more
like paired swinging doors. Incorporate features
like toplights and V-groove wood finish to upgrade
the detail.
Transforming a tired raised ranch into a uniquely distinctive
home that's more appropriate to its context can be a formidable
undertaking. I recently accepted such a challenge as part of a
design team led by Geoffrey Koper, an architect in Yarmouth
Port, Mass. Together we embarked on renovating a 30-year-old
raised ranch located on a corner lot on the island of Martha's
The owners of the Vineyard house had a substantial wish
list. They wanted to expand a number of existing spaces —
the living room, master bedroom, master bathroom, and entry
— while adding a mudroom and a second full bathroom
upstairs. On the outside, the main objectives were to add some
character to the elevation facing the main street and
reconfigure the oddly located main entry.
In order to accommodate the enlarged and new rooms that the
owners requested, we proposed additions to the south and east
of the existing house. This meant that we'd need to rework most
of the existing interior partitions in the original upper
level. On the other hand, the changes wouldn't interfere with
the required zoning setbacks or the fully functional existing
rear deck, and they would allow us to leave the less
significant elevations largely undisturbed.
The proposed changes would allow us to fundamentally change
the appearance of the house. We felt that the raised ranch
style wasn't really appropriate to the island. To better fit
the house to its context, we decided to work in some of the
cottage features of the Vineyard vernacular.
The existing entry sequence had some serious flaws. The "front
door" on the east side of the house actually faced onto a side
street. That east elevation was also marred by the heavy
overhang of a cross gable that had been poorly disguised with
gambrel rake attachments. As is typical of the raised ranch
style, the door was approached by way of several exterior
stairs. This meant that anyone using this entry was exposed to
the weather while climbing the stairs. Except for a profile
view of the stairs, the original entry was invisible from the
real front elevation, which was dominated by a pair of garage
To provide a more welcoming front elevation, we pulled the
entry farther to the east of the existing house and oriented it
to the main street. A new door with sidelights and a dormer
above were incorporated to more clearly identify it. The
lowered entry level allowed us to drop the eaves line as well,
doing away with the unnecessary exterior stair. Our eastern
expansion also meant we could eliminate the awkward overhang of
the existing cross gable.
The steeper roof pitch over the south end addition visually
transformed the flatter pitch of the original roof beyond into
a pair of shed dormers. To enhance this new, more cottage-like
appearance and draw attention away from the garage doors below,
we added a cantilevered bay over the garage. accompanied by
decorative brackets. These moves in combination improved both
the function and the appearance of this now unique island

LONDON (Reuters) - Barclays
Barclays has already shut 443 of its branches in mainland Europe this year and will cut about 1,500 jobs across the business by the end of the year, achieving the bulk of a revival plan set out in February.
Barclays Chief Executive Antony Jenkins wants the turnaround efforts to return the loss-making European retail business to profit in 2015.
"That will happen. I'm confident on that occurring," Curt Hess, head of the bank's Europe retail and business banking, which covers Italy, Spain, Portugal and France, said.
"I feel we could probably get to half a billion (pounds) of profitability in terms of my four markets," he told Reuters in an interview on Friday, adding that could be achieved earlier than 2020.
Hess said his division had not missed anything on the revival program, known as Transform, including a target to cut annual costs by more than a fifth to 650 million pounds by 2015.
The plans are part of a restructuring and root and branch review of Barclays' businesses after the financial crisis and the scandals that have followed it, such as benchmark interest rate rigging.
In the years before the crisis, Barclays had expanded aggressively in mainland Europe, but it hit problems as Spain, Portugal and Italy fell into recessions, driving up losses from bad loans. The bank's European retail business has lost almost 2 billion pounds over the last four years.
"Between the expansion, the assets not generating what we wanted in terms of a full customer relationship, and you add on the issues around the economy and it almost became a perfect storm," Hess said.
The euro zone pulled out of its longest recession this year, but the economy stagnated in the third quarter as France and Italy contracted and unemployment in the bloc is above 12 percent.
Barclays will refocus in the four European countries on a smaller, more profitable mass affluent segment, or "Premier" account customers.
Hess said he aimed to add 100,000 Premier customers in Europe in the next two years to the 185,000 it already has. That, together with lower costs, more use of technology and new products should drive profits higher, he said.
The turnaround also includes the run-down of 23 billion pounds of legacy loans in Europe, however, which will remain a drag. About half of those are in Italy, and one-third in Spain.
Hess said this was expected to run down by about 8 percent a year but he wants to accelerate that by selling books of loans, including some potentially significant ones, but that will depend on whether buyers emerge.
Barclays sold a portfolio of 14 Spanish branches, assets of 300 million euros and 10,000 customers to Caja Rural Castilla-La Mancha last month.
Hess, who is from New York and joined Barclays in 2007 from Citigroup
Under Jenkins' Transform plan, Barclays will cut almost 2,000 staff across the European retail business and get rid of 500 branches, leaving it with about 650 branches, less than half the number in 2010.
The bank has this year shut 161 branches in Spain, 145 in Italy, 116 in Portugal and 21 in France.
By the end of the year, just over 820 jobs are expected to have gone in Spain, 400 in Portugal, 200 in Italy and 87 in France. ($1 = 0.6215 British pounds)
