MPS, other districts closed due to storm
Milwaukee Public Schools and many other districts in the area are closed today due to the winter storm. Check outFeds take fleeing man into custody after rescue at Milwaukee building
Law enforcement officials, including federal agents, swarmed a downtown Milwaukee building Wednesday and took into custody a man who had injured himself and had to be rescued from a second-story landing.
Federal officials said the unidentified man had fled while agents were searching a residence on the 1000 block of North Old World Third Street in Milwaukee. Law enforcement officers from the Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were executing a state search warrant, DOJ spokeswoman Dana Brueck said, when the man fled.
The police activity prompted closure of an alley between West State Street and West Highland Avenue, as Milwaukee Fire Department rescue workers lowered the injured man from the building to an awaiting ambulance. »Read Full Article(1)
Wauwatosa man arrested in Ozaukee heroin death
Ozaukee County sheriff's detectives arrested a Wauwatosa man on charges of first-degree reckless homicide and conspiracy to deliver heroin and cocaine, after an autopsy revealed that a Fredonia man died of an overdose.

Man shot to death while questioned in Boston probe
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) A Chechen immigrant was shot to death by authorities while being questioned in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation early Wednesday after he lunged at an FBI agent with a knife, officials said.
Ibragim Todashev, a 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter, was gunned down at his Orlando home during a meeting with the agent and two Massachusetts state troopers, authorities said. The agent was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The FBI gave no details on why they were interested in Todashev. But acquaintances said Todashev knew one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, from mixed martial arts fighting in Boston. Public records also show Todashev lived in Watertown, Mass., just outside Boston, last year. »Read Full Article(4)
Scott Walker plan allows rent-to-own contracts with blank spaces
Madison — Rent-to-own stores could encourage customers to sign contracts that included blank spaces that would be filled in later with the actual terms of the agreement such as the real costs to the consumer of a television, under a proposal by Gov. Scott Walker coming before a key committee Thursday.
The provision is one of several in the Republican governor's 2013-'15 budget bill that would weaken consumer protections for those who shop at rent-to-own stores, such as potentially keeping spouses from learning of contracts they were liable for and preventing state regulators from shutting down stores that intentionally violated disclosure laws.
A liberal Democratic and conservative Republican lawmaker on opposite sides of the overall rent-to-own provision both criticized the blank spaces section in the bill Wednesday, suggesting it might be changed. Separately, two GOP senators also called Wednesday for the removal of the entire provision. »Read Full Article(46)

IRS official Lerner: 'I did nothing wrong'
WASHINGTON (AP) The Internal Revenue Service official at the center of the storm over the agency's targeting of conservative groups told Congress on Wednesday that she had done nothing wrong in the episode, and then invoked her constitutional right to refuse to answer lawmakers' questions.
In one of the most electric moments since the IRS controversy erupted nearly two weeks ago, Lois Lerner defended herself during a brief appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The committee is investigating the agency's improper targeting of tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status from 2010 to 2012, and Lerner oversees the IRS office that processes applications for that designation.
"I have done nothing wrong," said a stern-looking Lerner, sitting next to three other witnesses and reading from a written statement. "I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations and I have not provided false information to this or any other committee." »Read Full Article(24)

Bernanke signals Fed to maintain stimulus efforts
WASHINGTON (AP) Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Wednesday that the U.S. job market remains weak and that it is too soon for the Federal Reserve to slow its extraordinary stimulus programs.
Reducing the Fed's efforts to keep borrowing rates low would "carry a substantial risk of slowing or ending the economic recovery," Bernanke said in testimony to the Joint Economic Committee, a panel that includes members of the House and Senate.
The Fed has been buying $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds since September. That has helped lower long-term interest rates and encouraged more borrowing and spending. »Read Full Article(1)

A native of Kiel was unanimously confirmed to a U.S. district judge post in Florida nearly a year after her nomination by President Barack Obama,The Senate on Monday confirmed Sheri Polster Chappell, of Fort Myers, Fla., to serve as a U.S. district judge in Florida's Middle District.
Chappell's nomination had been held up by partisan differences over other issues.

$100 million in sewer costs loom over Wauwatosa
The city is facing long-term costs of an estimated $100 million or more related to sanitary and storm sewer projects needed to relieve flooding in east Tosa and to bring the city into compliance with standards set by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.
The cost of the work, over a period of years, would dwarf the $15 million spent on the recent Meinecke flood abatement project, possibly the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken in Wauwatosa, and will undoubtedly affect water bills in the years to come.
The most expensive problems are related to Schoonmacher Creek and its watershed, mostly as the water travels through pipes underground, before and after the creek emerges in the Washington Highlands on its way to the Menomonee River. The issues roughly break down into two categories: the sanitary sewer system, which carries wastewater used in households to an MMSD treatment center, and the storm sewer system, which returns clear water (such as rainwater) to the river without treatment. »Read Full Article
Kohl's hires key Starbucks executive as marketing chief
Kohl's Corp. has pulled off what appears to be a recruiting coup, snagging well-regarded Starbucks executive Michelle Gass to fill the newly created position of chief customer officer.
Gass filled a number of leadership roles over 16 years with Starbucks and helped the ubiquitous coffee retailer rebound from a slump that saw its share price, now over $60, dip below $10 in early 2009.
She will report directly to Kohl's CEO Kevin Mansell and will oversee all marketing efforts for the Menomonee Falls-based department store chain.
Gass' appointment comes after what Mansell has called Kohl's "weak performance" last year, which in turn prompted extensive changes in Kohl's merchandising team.

Update: Case against Milwaukee veteran over Japanese rape judgment proceeds
A judge in Milwaukee has denied a Navy veteran's several attempts to dismiss an unusual civil suit seeking enforcement of a Japanese judgment that he raped a woman there in 2002.
Catherine Fisher sued Bloke Deans last year, asking that a Wisconsin court order Deans to pay about $61,000 in damages that a Japanese court had ordered in 2004.
Dean's attorney, Alex Flynn, took several steps to thwart the case, arguing that Milwaukee County Circuit Court lacks personal jurisdiction, that the Japanese judgment resulted from a non-jury review of Fisher's claim, and that Deans was not accorded the provisions of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act.
Circuit Judge William Pocan denied Dean's request for summary judgment and set the case for a pre-trial hearing in September.

Wisconsin school district dropping American Indian logo
Winter— A western Wisconsin school district will change its American Indian logo that it's used for its sports teams.
Winter School District Administrator Penny Boileau says the American Indian warrior logo has been used for decades, but if it's offensive to anyone, then it's time to change.
A state law requires the state superintendent to consider any complaints that a school mascot or nickname is race-based and discriminatory and decide whether to order the school to drop the moniker. The Winter School Board decided last month to proactively replace the logo.
Winter schools are using the letter 'W' as a placeholder until a new logo is implemented. WEAU-TV reports several hundred people voting for a logo recently selected an eagle with a feather as the new mascot. (51)

Waukesha Town Board reverses stance on city water
The Town of Waukesha board has reversed course and voted to include most of the town in the City of Waukesha's water sewer service area, the Freeman reports today.
The turnabout came when Supervisor Joe Banske, long an opponent of including the town in the city's service area, switched his vote, citing a newly inserted provision that would allow for negotiations with neighboring Big Bend for sanitary sewer service in some instances, according to the Freeman.

Legislature to hold hearings on common core education standards
Madison — Advocates and opponents of common core standards for teaching math and English in Wisconsin were gathering for a joint hearing before the Legislature's education committees.
While Wednesday's hearing is informational only, critics of the common core standards are calling for a closer look. Dozens of tea party supporters sent lawmakers a letter this week raising concerns about a loss of local control, lowered educational standards and an invasion of student privacy.
Wisconsin's Department of Public Instruction adopted the national standards in 2010. Adopting the standards was voluntary, but 45 states have chosen to do it. Many were concerned that not taking that step would make them ineligible for billions of dollars in grants under the federal Race to the Top program. (6)

WASHINGTON (AP) A far-reaching bill to remake the nation's immigration system is headed to the full Senate, where tough battles are brewing on gay marriage, border security and other contentious issues, with the outcome impossible to predict.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the measure 13-5 Tuesday night, setting up an epic showdown on the Senate floor after Congress' Memorial Day recess. The legislation is one of President Barack Obama's top domestic priorities yet it also gives the Republican Party a chance to recast itself as more appealing to minorities.
Many involved still vividly recall the last time the Senate took up a major immigration bill, in 2007, beginning with high hopes only to see their efforts collapse on the Senate floor amid a public backlash and interest group defections. »Read Full Article(8)

As Apple held its Annual General Meeting in Cupertino, California on February 27, activists from the labour rights group Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (SACOM) rallied in front of Apple stores in Hong Kong to protest the continuing abuse of workers that make the company's popular electronics products.
On March 29, the Fair Labor Association (FLA) released a much-anticipated report on its investigation into the labour practices at three Foxconn factories in China employing close to 180,000 workers who manufacture electronic devices for Apple including iPads and iPhones.
Family members react - May 2011
Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (SACOM) has released a statement blaming a May 20 explosion at Foxconn's Ipad plant on the company, which it says is putting productivity over worker safety. The blast, which killed two workers and injured 16, could have been prevented, says SACOM. The group points to an early May report in which it raised issues with dangerous aluminum dust in the factory's polishing department where the blast occurred.
Last week we alerted you to the tragic suicides at a Chinese factory making products for many of the world's best-known electronics brands - including Apple's new iPads. This week we're outraged by yet another death at the Foxconn factory, this time apparently due to exhaustion after Yan Li, a 27-year old Foxconn engineer, worked continuously for 34 hours.
On July 10, 2008, following the Ethical Trading Forum in Vancouver at which transparency and Olympic licensing was debated with companies, trade unions, NGOs and Olympic organizers, Nike publicly released the full list of factories that produced its products for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
As the clock ticks down to the Beijing Olympics, international sportswear companies are amassing huge profits and arranging multi-million dollar sponsorship deals with the Games, Olympic athletes and national teams.
Meanwhile, workers producing their goods are still living in poverty. In a new report, "Clearing the Hurdles: Steps to improving working conditions in the global sportswear industry", Play Fair 2008 calls upon brands, manufacturers, and multi-stakeholder initiatives to overcome four major hurdles to make real, measurable progress on wages and working conditions in the global sportswear industry.
On July 31, the Beijing Organizing Committee of the 2008 Olympic Games (BOCOG) announced the results of its investigation into Play Fair's findings of child labour and gross violations of adult workers' rights in certain factories producing licensed goods for the 2008 Olympics. While BOCOG confirmed some of Play Fair's findings, it neglected others and failed to commit to acting positively to improve workers' conditions, choosing instead to cut and run from factories implicated in Play Fair's original report.
This Marketplace report focuses on the exploitive conditions under which toys are made, with a particular focus on China. It presents a number of interviews with people who have done research into the labour that goes into making toys as well as with the former president of Irwing Toys. The video briefly looks at how companies like Mattel and Disney fit into the picture and how the rise of sweatshops is related to globalization trends. This report on toys is aimed at appealing to parents shopping for gifts during the holiday season
A new report released today by the Play Fair 2008 Campaign exposes gross violations of workers' rights by several Chinese factories supplying goods under license for the Beijing Olympics, including employment of children, adults being paid half the legal minimum wage, and employees forced to work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, in unsafe and unhealthy conditions.

Tom Hooper is director of the musical "Les Miserables." (Kirk McKoy, Los Angeles Times / December 14, 2012) |
This story has been updated. See below.
Few things are more carefully choreographed than a movie musical, but director Tom Hooper wanted to steep his big-screen adaptation of "Les Misérables" in some gritty reality. So he took a page from Ridley Scott's war film "Black Hawk Down."
At Pinewood Studios outside London, he set up a scene in which 30 student revolutionaries and scores of background players construct a blockade to stave off the French army in 19th century Paris. He hid five cameras on the set with their operators dressed in costume, directed his performers to build a barricade, and shouted "Action!"
"Pianos were falling from above. Things were being thrown at you. It was the most anarchic, terrifying and wildly exciting thing," said Eddie Redmayne, the British actor who plays Marius, a revolutionary. "The adrenaline is real adrenaline, plus it created amazing camaraderie. We never knew exactly where the cameras were, and we built the thing in 10 minutes."
GRAPHIC: Movie musicals' box-office muscle
Some precious antique furniture was destroyed in the process, but Hooper regards that as a small price to pay in his effort to set "Les Misérables" apart from the string of movie-musical misfires in the last decade. Since "Chicago" took home the best picture Oscar in 2002, a number of beloved stage musicals such as "Phantom of the Opera" and "Rent" have crashed and burned when adapted for the screen.
Despite the popularity of musically driven TV shows such as "Glee" and "American Idol" in recent years, moviegoers have proved increasingly finicky when it comes to sing-songy productions. Lighter films, like "Mamma Mia!" and "Hairspray" have done better than serious stories, but "Les Misérables," based on Victor Hugo's novel and centered on the unsuccessful 1815-1832 June rebellion in France, is stuffed with raw performances, offering little levity.
Still, Hooper, the Oscar-winning director of "The King's Speech," has a few things working in his favor: His film is studded with stars including Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, and its budget, $61 million, is relatively modest, lowering the financial risk for Universal Pictures. Hordes of fans of the stage version — which has played continuously since its 1985 debut despite initially terrible reviews — are eagerly anticipating the movie.
The film, which opens Christmas Day, has already received four Golden Globe nominations and four Screen Actors Guild nods including best ensemble, and some reviewers have applauded Hooper and his actors' commitment to the emotional material. But other critics have found fault with aspects, including its length (2 hours, 38 minutes) and earnestness.
Before signing on to the job, Hooper screened a slew of musicals: from "Fiddler on the Roof" and "The Sound of Music" to "Evita" and "Sweeney Todd." What he learned, he says, is that each one required audiences to repeatedly suspend their disbelief every time the actors opened their mouths to sing.
ENVELOPE SCREENING SERIES: "Les Miserables"
"Even in the best musicals you were constantly needing to re-forgive them for singing. And when the music is great you could do it — particularly when it's comedic and light — there is a joyous lightheartedness that allows for the forgiveness to operate quite freely," says Hooper over coffee at the Chateau Marmont hotel. "I don't want that to be the relationship I have with my audience where I'm constantly asking them to not notice that it's not real."
Hooper starts singing to prove his point: "If I were to suddenly sing to you about this lovely day we are having, you would wonder, 'Why on earth are you singing?'"
Switching to a spoken voice, he adds: "And you would feel a bit embarrassed and I would feel embarrassed and the audience feels embarrassed."
Hooper's musical reeducation prompted him to change some of the rules, specifically how the songs are sung. Instead of allowing lip-syncing, he had all of the players sing their songs on camera as they listened to a live piano accompaniment via an earpiece. The singers controlled the tempo of each piece. He also stripped the movie of most of its spoken dialogue, with most of the story told through the songs, similar to the stage version.
"Maybe it's more honest to say, no, if in this world we are creating, singing is the primary means of communication, then it should be sung through," he says. "Own it, be confident about it, and don't have any shame about it. Don't be embarrassed by it."
"Les Misérables" follows only two other sung-through, stage-to-screen adaptations: 1975's "Tommy" and 1996's "Evita."
"Les Misérables" centers on Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), a man imprisoned for 19 years for stealing bread for his starving niece. The sprawling storyline follows his transformation from new parolee to upstanding citizen, all the while facing off against Inspector Javert (Crowe), who wants to re-imprison him for violating parole. Along the way, he meets unwed mother Fantine (Hathaway), adopts her daughter Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) and raises her as his own until she falls in love with Marius (Redmayne).
Best of 2012: Movies | TV | Pop music | Jazz
In 1998, there was a dramatic version of "Les Miz," starring Liam Neeson as Valjean and Geoffrey Rush as Javert. A dramatic French version in 2000 starred Gerard Depardieu, and Anthony Perkins portrayed Javert in a 1978 dramatic version. Stage producer Cameron Mackintosh has been trying to get his musical version to the screen since soon after it debuted on the West End.
Hooper collaborated on the film with Mackintosh and other creators of the stage musical: musician Claude-Michel Schonberg and lyricists Alain Boublil and Herbert Kretzmer. While maintaining a fealty to the stage version that should make any "Les Miz" fan proud, they altered the score to better fit a cinematic version. In the process, they moved Fantine's iconic number "I Dreamed a Dream" to the end of her societal descent from seamstress to prostitute, while giving hero Valjean a new song, "Suddenly" to reflect his new role as a father, after he rescues Cosette.
"We tried to reinvent the score for the movie," says Mackintosh. "We wanted it to be very big and very small, to reflect what was being directed on the screen by Tom, without diminishing its power from the stage. We took it all apart and put it back together so it can only be a film score."
While all the actors were on board with singing live, the experience proved grueling, both emotionally and to the actors' vocal chords. Redmayne, for example, performed his solo "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" 23 times.
The result, in Hooper's mind, is more authentic singing performances from each actor. "These actors are not doing renditions, they are authored by them, like soliloquies in a Shakespeare play," he says.
The intensity of the performances is compounded by Hooper's decision to shoot many of the songs at very close range, which has drawn a mixed response. Writing for New York magazine, David Edelstein said: "When an actor begins to sing, the camera rushes in and fastens on the performer's face, positioning itself just below the head, somewhere between the navel and the Adam's apple — and canted from 30 to 45 degrees. ... I imagined the cameraman to be small, fleet and extremely high-strung, like Gollum."
Adam Shankman, director of the 2007 film version of "Hairspray" and this year's "Rock of Ages," says: "I think it is challenging, especially when you add the close-ups. ...It can feel a little relentless."
"The nice thing about opera and sung-through [stage musicals] is that you have the distance," he added. "But I think it's an amazing achievement. [Hooper] went for it, man."
The reaction seems to reflect the divided response to musicals in general, and even to "Les Miz," which opened in 1985 in London to critical pans, but producer Eric Fellner of Working Title isn't concerned.
"The bulk of people love it. It's why the original show is so successful, even though it opened to horrendous reviews," Fellner says. "I think critics look at it and feel it's manipulative but it's the real people that made 'Les Miz' happen. They adored it. They loved it."
ENVELOPE SCREENING SERIES: "Les Miserables"
Still, not all beloved Broadway shows translated successfully to the screen. Joel Schumacher's adaptation of "Phantom of the Opera" only earned $51 million domestically in 2004 (the equivalent of $60.4 million today), while Christopher Columbus' "Rent" grossed only $29 million the following year. Watchers of the genre chalk up those failures to bad reviews, tough subject matters and unknown casts.
Even though "Les Miz" is a tale of poverty set 200 years ago in France, some say audiences these days are eager for more movie musicals.
"Starting with 'Moulin Rouge!' at the beginning of the century, it's amazing how many musical movies and television shows there have been — everything from traditional musicals, to movies and television shows that depend on a lot of musical expression, like 'Pitch Perfect' or the 'Step Up' movies," says Bill Condon, screenwriter of "Chicago" and director of 2006's "Dreamgirls." "I think it's back, and I think it's been back for awhile. I don't think it's the issue it used to be."
The most recent audience pre-awareness surveys suggest "Les Miz" is on track for a strong opening, generating substantial interest among all demographic groups but especially women.
"Les Miz" costar Samantha Barks, who plays the romantically scorned Eponine, says she's witnessed the teen-girl adoration for the musical since she first played the part on the West End stage in 2009.
"I get a lot of tweets saying 'I am Eponine' or 'I've had such an Eponine day,'" says Barks. "It's got something for everyone. Whether you're a young guy and you want to be Enjolras on top of the barricade or little Gavroche. I always wanted to be Eponine, which is strange because she's such a tragic character."
Adds Redmayne, "It's the same stuff as the 'Twilight' series. There's an 'emo quality' to watching the tragedy and the teenage angst. I'm alone and it's miserable."
Correction, Dec. 22, 2012: An earlier version of this story gave the name of the character played by Russell Crowe as Javier. It's Javert.

When it comes to crib safety, The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents use wearable blankets instead of crib blankets, to keep babies from overheating. Unlike loose bedding, the HALO® SleepSack® poses no suffocation risk, a suspected cause of SIDS. Plus, kids can't kick them off like blankets, so kids stay warmer and sleep more soundly. These SleepSacks are made by HALO just for us. Soft microfleece; machine wash. Imported. A OneStepAhead Exclusive! See Product Details

Necessary baby product!

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Comments about Halo Innovations Halo Sleepsack Wearable Blanket For Babies - Fleece Blue Large:
I LOVE the SleepSack. It's nice and soft and holds up great to constant washing. I used them for my daughter (now 2 years old) when she was a baby, and I use them now for my 4-month-old son. Since babies are not supposed to have blankets in their cribs, this is, in my opinion, the only solution to keeping them warm at night! I have no complaints about this product!

About Me First Time Parent
We purchased this product because we like to keep our house cooler at night and sometimes heat with just the woodstove. Her bedroom gets quite chilly and at 7 months, swaddling just isn't working anymore! The Halo sleep sack keeps her nice and warm and she sleeps beautifully in it.
VERY Cute but not as heavy as last year

this is VERY cute but not as heavy as the one I got last year so I don't think will be as warm which is disappointing.

text: May 1st was Law Day across America, and here in Grand Rapids, the Acton Institute joined the Catholic Lawyers Association of West Michigan to sponsor a Law Day Celebration at the St. Cecilia Music Center. The chosen theme for Law Day this year was "Realizing the Dream: Equality for All," and responsibility for delivering a keynote address on that theme fell to Acton President Rev. Robert A. Sirico, who reflected on the role of faith in the legal profession in a time of great turmoil in society, in part because of the way that the law is currently being used to effect social change.
