Reporter good morning to you, kris. An interesting concept, this carlight project and the goal is to have it built on the busy area behind me. And the idea with these units, smaller units, but folks will give them incentives to use different modes of transportation so maybe not wanting to drive in this area and using other modes of transportation that will include giving residents in that complex passes to use things such as cal train, vta, and even bicycles. They want to provide them with monthly stistipends, up to 100r Services Like uber and lyft. These will be smaller units between 500 to 700 feet in size and theyre trying to appeal to the affordability of what they call the missing middle so workers who make too much.

The mauling death of four miniature horses is raising questions about security at the zoo. A pack of dogs attacked the horses and a donkey in two separate incidents in midjanuary. The zoo only announced the maulings this week. The dogs have been captured and according to the mercury news until now only one guard has patrolled outside the park during overnight hours but now guards are patrolling inside and outside.

Police say the sfo security images caught the man walking off with the luggage last wednesday. And that included a 7foottall unicycle, clearly folded up. He stood next to the Conveyor Belt before walking off with the bags. San franciscos rong niu is behind the red panda acrobat act. She performs at college and pro basketball games. She had just landed back at home on a flight from denver. Neighbors say shes back on the road with a borrowed unicycle but really wants her old one back. I cant imagine it has retail value.

In one case russian investigators got White Supremacists and black lives matter activists to face off against each other in houston, texas. Both sides thought the other one started it but, in fact, russians started it on facebook and twitter and then the two sides clashed. Now my kids will use that as an excuse. It was the russians.
