House owners shut doors on Muslims in Kovai
By Rohan Premkumar - COIMBATORE

Money alone would not get you a home on rent in Coimbatore, if you happen to be a Muslim. The textile city, which is otherwise famed for its hospitality, is disgustingly polarised on communal lines making it difficult for those belonging to the minority community to rent a home.
Recalling his bitter experience when numerous house owners shut their doors on him when he went home-hunting after migrating from Chennai, Sadiq Basha of Karumbukkadai said: "When I would first approach home owners, they would be extremely warm and welcoming. I remember this one incident when we had worked out all the particulars with an owner, but after I mentioned my name, they immediately became cagey, eventually refusing me the home after a couple of days."
Such blatant instances of discrimination, in fact, transcend traditional class and income boundaries.
In a posh gated community near Ramanathapuram here, residents claimed that there is a tacit understanding between home owners to not rent homes to Muslim families.
"I was shocked at the blatancy with which the community members expressed their unwillingness to rent out homes to Muslims. It seemed surreal at the time that even educated members of our society still subscribe to large scale stereotyping of a community," a resident rued.
Disputing the charge, Lakshman, president of the gated community, insisted, "In our complex, there are four or five Muslim families." When asked if he could provide the names of the families, Lakshman said he could not as over 800 families were living in the gated community.
Sushil Deshpande, a real estate agent and broker, however alleged that even if owners agreed to rent out homes to Muslim families, the rates could be up to 30 percent higher for them than for Hindu or Christian families in certain areas in Coimbatore.

Users of the Voyager Planning Station, developed by Global Navigation Solutions, the maritime services group, can now plot their route directly onto the official ENCs on board their vessel. Visitors to this year's Marintec China exhibition will have the opportunity to see a demonstration of this new feature.
Providing a single all inclusive back of bridge solution, Voyager Planning Station enables the navigator to passage plan using live data. A route can be plotted directly onto Voyager's enhanced ENC display, rather than on a simple GIS background, and then transferred onto the ECDIS – effectively providing ECDIS functionality to the back of bridge and offering unrivalled time saving and accuracy. The passage planning system also has the advantage of enabling the operator to identify missing ENCs and order updates where necessary.
The world class SPOS Onboard weather solution from Meteo has now been incorporated into Voyager Planning Station giving customers direct and instant access to weather information.
Mike Robinson, CEO of Global Navigation Solutions is looking forward to presenting the Voyager Planning Station at Marintec. "Our team of specialist maritime experts and software engineers working together in our Research and Development Centre in Aberdeen are second to none," he said."We recognize that China is a growth market and we are delighted to have the opportunity to demonstrate these time saving new features at this major exhibition. Our Centre of Excellence is creating products which are already transforming the market, ensuring our customers stay at the forefront of developing technology."
Voyager Planning Station also includes Admiralty Information Overlay display, significantly improving the efficiency of the passage planning process by providing preliminary information that has been incorporated into paper charts but not yet included in ENCs. Other unique features include 100% complete BA Chart Update Service including Annual and Cumulative Notices to Mariners, global list of Navarea Warnings, AVCS and ARCS updates, access to the timesaving Global Navigation Solutions Looseleaf service, free Vessel Management Service to help manage the fleet and the best value data communications costs on the market today.
Voyager Planning Station is available in three packages designed to suit the way a vessel or fleet navigates: BA Paper Update Service specifically designed for vessels navigating with BA charts and publications: BA Paper and Digital Update Service for vessels making the transition to digital navigation and BA Digital Update Service, designed for vessels navigating with ECDIS.
In addition to SPOS Weather Solutions, Voyager Planning Station offers a growing list of added value modules. These include AtoBviaC Port to Port, ICC Piracy Reports, Shipping Guides' Findaport and Regs4Ships, in addition to AIO updates, ADP updates and BA loose leaf updates.

Charlotte agrees to terms with Lance Stephenson
The Indiana free-agent shooting guard fills need for Hornets.
Seattle Times news services
LAS VEGAS — Following an all-night negotiating session, the Charlotte Hornets have come to an agreement to sign Indiana Pacers shooting guard Lance Stephenson.
Under terms of the agreement, Stephenson will make $9 million in 2014-15 and $9 million in 2015-16. Stephenson will get a slight raise in 2016-17 if the Hornets pick up the team option.
Stephenson fills an obvious need, as the Hornets were weak offensively at the shooting guard and small forward positions. The 6-foot-5 playmaker had a breakthrough season statistically, averaging 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists. He shot 49 percent from the field and 35 percent from three-point range.
However, he has a quirky personality that seems to have limited his market when he became an unrestricted free agent July 1.
The Pacers offered Stephenson $44 million over five seasons, and reportedly did not come off that number. Stephenson thought he was worth considerably more.
Wednesday, Stephenson tweeted:
"Indy, I had a great 4 years. Thank you Larry Bird, the fans, my coaches and teammates for the incredible experience. I will never forget any of you! I now have to look to the next phase of my career and the wonderful opportunity to continue to grow as a player and as a person in Charlotte! I'm excited to play for this franchise and the fans!! #buzzcity"
Meanwhile, a person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that the Pacers have agreed to terms with free agent-guard Rodney Stuckey, the former Kentwood High and Eastern Washington standout, on a one-year deal to help replace Stephenson.
Stuckey averaged 13.9 points last season, his seventh season with the Detroit Pistons.
• Brandon Rush and the Golden State Warriors are headed for a reunion.
Rush and the Warriors agreed to a two-year, $2.5 million contract. Rush's agent, Mark Bartelstein, said the small forward will hold the option in the second year of the deal.
Rush was Golden State's top reserve and best perimeter defender during the 2011-12 season before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the team's 2012-13 home opener. He was traded to Utah last summer as part of a salary shedding move that allowed the Warriors to sign Andre Iguodala away from Denver.
• The Cavaliers agreed to a one-year contract with veteran wing James Jones, a league source told the Akron Beacon Journal. The deal is worth the league minimum.
• A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that forward Ed Davis has agreed to terms on a two-year, $2 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
• Two people with knowledge of the situation say free agent Anthony Tolliver has agreed to a two-year, $6 million contract with Phoenix.
• The Orlando Magic is finalizing an agreement with free-agent point guard Luke Ridnour, sources told ESPN.com.
Ridnour, the former Blaine High and Oregon star, averaged 5.0 points and 2.9 assists while splitting 61 games with Milwaukee and Charlotte last season.

Signup to recieve your free Athlon Sports newsletter today!
Athlon Sports has been designing the best looking magazines for the better part of half a century, so we'd thought we'd turn our senior graphic design guru loose on college football's logos. Here is what is Art Director Matt Taliaferro thinks about the SEC's logos:
"Surprisingly, it's not the gamecock that turns me off here, it's the 90 degree angles on the inside of the "C" — shave those off and the awkwardness of this logo is minimalized. Sure, the rooster could use an upgrade, but let's be honest, it may be time to start from scratch."
Athlon Sports Art Director Matt Taliaferro's take on the SEC logos:
"Missouri has a dynamic logo that screams aggression, and they get points simply for not going the huggable animal route. Carving some of the fat off this mark — a la Michigan State's spartan — would tone the activity down and make for a sharper brand."
"I know there's some tradition that I'm most likely stomping on, but the Brush Script feel of this font-only logo is dated. (For those unaware, the font "Brush Script" went out of style about the time Archie Manning was moving from Oxford to New Orleans.) On the plus side, they've managed to not incorporate the rebel flag, so that's saying something. By the way, wasn't there a push to make Admiral Ackbar the school's mascot? Imagine the possibilities..."
"I actually like what MSU has done to update what was once a run-of-the-mill "block logo." The faux-banner works, as does the contemporary "M" that has one stem in yesterday, the other in today."
"Being a UK grad, I'm admittedly biased, but that may be a good thing. Because I have a vested interest, I can say this slightly modernized block logo is light years beyond the old vertical "UK" with the cat in the background. Oftentimes you are your favorite team's worst critic, but this is one incarnation of the logo that I hope is utilized for years to come."
"Well, it's a hog. Like Kentucky's, this logo is a vast improvement on Arkansas' previous incarnation. My issue it that animal logos are best used as stylized representations, not literal "drawings." There is mucho potential here ... get the university's Design Department cranking up the creativity!"
"It's the colors. That's what has always bothered me about Florida's logo. The green on blue is harsh on the eyes while the entire concept of the cartoon gator is too ... "rounded." This is an alligator with razor sharp teeth, right? So borrow some of Missouri's hard, dynamic angles, give me some streamlining and scare me!"
"Another SEC school logo that is vastly improved from its previous incarnation, I like the contemporary font used for LSU. The Illustrator'd tiger lacks some punch, but I'm learning to live with it. If I must."
"Alabama's logo screams "college!" as much as any in the conference. I'm not a fan of the font used for the "A," as more stylized scripts exist that could naturally center it up. They know how to make use of their circles down in the land of cotton. By the way, wouldn't it be awesome if the university bought the rights to the country band's logo of the same name?"
"The star and the "V." Nothing flashy. Message delivered. Simple, effective. Well done. (Although Vandy has never been able to get the right shade of mustard or gold or whatever that color is.)"
"Someone from A&M needs to call Texas Tech and explain how effective beveling is done. Like Vandy, Texas A&M's logo is simple and therefore works as a potent branding mark."
"Hard to find fault in the interlocking A-U. Again, trimming away all the waste and boiling a logomark down to its most basic typically nets the best results."
"God forbid I diss the "Power T" — so I won't. As a logo, Tennessee's is as direct and to-the-point as it gets. Think what you will of the orange (personally, I'm no fan), but the unique working of the "T" is as good as it gets. As an aside, UT's retro Davy Crockett logo is badass."
"Find me a more effective marriage of color and simplicity of design and I'll hand these writing duties over to you. Georgia's logo is so timeless that I can't remember there ever being another that represented the football team. You see this, there's no confusion as to what you're looking at. If that's not a successful logo, I don't know what it."

Plans to knock down and completely rebuild Britain's sixth-busiest railway station as part of the HS2 high-speed project have been scrapped.
Instead, under new proposals, Euston station in north London will be developed by keeping most of the existing platforms and improving the station around them.
The work will include 11 new platforms for high-speed trains to be built around the existing platforms at Euston which will be HS2's London terminus.
The change-of-plan proposals were announced today by the HS2 Ltd company which is responsible for developing and promoting the first phase of HS2, costing £16.3 billion, and running from London to Birmingham.
Camden Council in north London has been expressing concern about not only the station plans but also proposals for the area around the station.
Euston currently has 18 platforms. The revised plan involves keeping platforms 1-15 with the exception of platforms 9 and 10 which will be removed so that adjacent platforms can be lengthened.
The plan also includes a new Euston Tube station ticket hall and a sub-surface pedestrian link between Euston and the nearby Euston Square Underground station.
There is also potential for new homes, offices and shops in a total redevelopment which would be completed by 2026 when the first phase of HS2 is due to become operational.
HS2 Ltd chief executive Alison Munro said: "HS2 will be an engine for growth that supports the creation of thousands of jobs for Londoners, provides extra space on the existing lines for more commuter services, and improved connectivity with our great northern cities.
"In response to community concerns about the potential disruption caused by the redevelopment of Euston station, and following more work done by our engineers to find the best way to deliver best value for taxpayers, we have identified an option that delivers great opportunities for the area while minimising the potential effects on local communities in Camden and on passengers."
She went on: "We are looking at an option for Euston Station which would see new platforms built as part of an integrated, redeveloped station with a combined concourse, new western entrance and improved facilities across the integrated terminus.
"Economic work done as part of Camden Council's plan for the area has demonstrated that there is a case for major redevelopment with the potential for commercial investment, and we want to look at these opportunities with Camden.
"We also realise the importance Camden Council places on over-station development, and our proposal for Euston enables this, with potential for future homes, businesses and open space.
"Whatever option is adopted, Euston would be the gateway to the Midlands and north of England with improved facilities for passengers and better connections with the Underground."

Netanyahu refuses to rescind settlement decision
Maaleh Adumim 370 Dec 2012.
(photo credit:Reuters/Baz Ratner)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu pushed back on Monday against intense
international pressure to reconsider plans for building 3,000 housing units in
east Jerusalem and the West Bank and stepping up the planning of the
controversial E1 site, saying no one should expect Israel to sit on its hands in
light of Palestinian unilateral steps at the UN.As one European country
after the next called in their Israeli ambassadors to protest the settlement
plans, a source in the Prime Minister's Office issued a statement saying Israel
would "continue to stand up for its vital interests even in the face of
international pressure."The official said there would be no change in
the decision made Friday to build 3,000 housing units in the large settlement
blocs, and Israel would go ahead with planning and zoning work for the E1 area
linking Jerusalem to Ma'aleh Adumim northeast of the capital."The
Palestinian unilateral moves at the UN are a blatant and fundamental violation
of agreements to which the international community was a guarantor," the
official said. "No one should be surprised that Israel is not sitting with its
arms folded in response to the unilateral Palestinian steps."The source
added that Israel would take further steps if the Palestinians went ahead with
more unilateral moves of their own.The plans, however, triggered what
one Israeli source described as the worst diplomatic crisis Israel has faced in
the last 20 years.White House spokesman Jay Carney told a briefing that
the US urged Israel to "reconsider these unilateral decisions and exercise
restraint, as these actions are counterproductive and make it harder to resume
direct negotiations to achieve a two-state solution. We reiterate our
long-standing opposition to Israeli settlement activity and east Jerusalem
construction."European Foreign Ministries summon Israeli envoysThe foreign ministries of Britain, France, Spain, Sweden
and Denmark were not content with just condemning the move, and called in the
Israeli ambassador in their respective capitals to protest the move and urge
Jerusalem to reconsider. Russia also slammed the decision.The UK's
Alistair Burt, the Foreign Office's minister for the Middle East, said that
Israeli envoy Daniel Taub was summoned following the decision to build 3,000
units, "unfreeze" planning in E1 and withhold NIS 400 million in tax revenue
from the PA in order to pay its debt to the Israel Electric
Corporation."I set out the depth of the UK's concern about these
decisions and I called on the Israeli government to reverse them," Burt said.
"The settlements plan in particular has the potential to alter the situation on
the ground on a scale that threatens the viability of a two-state
solution."The British minster for the Middle East said he made clear
that "the strength of [the UK's] reaction stems from [its] disappointment that
the Israeli government has not heeded the calls that [it] and others had made
for Israel to avoid reacting to the UN General Assembly resolution in a way that
undermines the Palestinian Authority or a return to talks."Burt said
nothing about the possibility of recalling Britain's ambassador to Israel, as
was initially reported.A Foreign Office spokesman said, "Any decision
about any other measures the UK might take will depend on the outcome of our
discussions with the Israeli government and with international partners,
including the US and European Union."The EU's 27 foreign ministers are
scheduled to convene for their monthly meeting on Monday, and this issue – and a
wider EU response – is expected to figure prominently in the
discussions.The issue is also expected to be raised when Netanyahu meets
German Chancellor Angela Merkel – who in the past has been very critical of
Israel's settlement policies – in Berlin on Thursday.German government
spokesman Steffen Seibert issued a statement saying his country was "very
worried" about the Israeli decision and said that "now is the time to make
possible a renewal of the negotiations."In this context, he said, the
Israeli move "sends a negative message" and "undermines faith in Israel's
intention to negotiate."France, meanwhile, denied reports that it
intended to recall its envoy, with a French spokesman saying, "We have other
means to express our protest."The spokesman said that Israeli Ambassador
Yossi Gal was called in and told that France condemned the Israeli settlement
enterprise "in all its forms. They are illegal in the view of international law,
harm the trust necessary for a renewal of negotiations and are an obstacle to a
just peace based on a two-state solution."Click to enlarge image.The French spokesman added
that construction in E1 would deal a harsh blow to the idea of two states since
it would "isolate Jerusalem, which is supposed to turn into the capital of two
states, from the West Bank and threaten the territorial contiguity of the future
Palestinian state."One diplomatic official said the harsh European
response reflected four years of frustration at Israel for ignoring their
requests to stop settlement construction and allow for more Palestinian activity
in Area C – while being asked by Jerusalem for support on the Iranian issue,
against Hamas and against the Palestinian bid at the Security
Council."The Europeans feel that they are asked for quite a bit from
Israel, but that their own requests are ignored," the official
explained.He said that the Europeans were trying to send a message to
Israel that they would no longer suffice with issuing condemnations that were
ignored, but would begin taking concrete action on the ground.The
official said that at the very least, EU efforts to label products from the
settlements were likely to pick up steam as a result of this move, as would
attempts to create a "blacklist " of "violent settlers" who will be barred entry
into Europe.The EU held a meeting last week in Brussels on the
settlement labeling issue.The problem with these moves, one Israeli
source said, is "you know where they start, but then they can take on a dynamic
of their own, and you don't know where they will end."One government
official, however, slammed what he said was Europe's disproportionate response.
The official asked where the EU's outrage was when Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas praised Hamas's launching of rockets on Israeli civilian
targets, or when he accused Israel of tunneling under the Temple Mount to
destroy the Aksa Mosque or when he denied any Jewish connection to
Jerusalem.The source described Israel's move as a "proportionate and
measured" response to Abba's support of Hamas rockets on Israel, the UN move,
his hate-filled speech in the UN and the fact that the only reconciliation the
PA leader has signaled since going to the UN was with Hamas, not
Israel.Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said he hoped Britain
and France were considering recalling their envoys from Israel over its E1
plans.He said building in E1 "destroys the two-state solution, [and the
establishing of] east Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine and practically ends
the peace process and any opportunity to talk about negotiations in the
future."Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the settlement plans were
"an insult to the international community, which should bear responsibility for
Israeli violations and attacks on Palestinians."Controversial Ramat Shlomo building project resurfacesIn a related
development, the Interior Ministry's District Planning and Construction
Committee will discuss in two weeks another controversial project, the 1600
units in Ramat Shlomo that initiated the infamous "Biden Fiasco," according to
deputy mayor Yossi Deitsch (United Torah Judaism).Deitsch, who also sits
on the District Committee, told reporters he wanted to advance the project in
order to show Jerusalem's sovereign right to build in the capital.The
Ramat Shlomo project was approved for deposit during Vice President Joe Biden's
visit in March 2010, causing a diplomatic crisis with the United States as Biden
felt the announcement was a personal affront. Following the incident, the Prime
Minister's Office instituted "increased mechanisms" to ensure they are involved
and updated about all east Jerusalem building projects. The discussion is set
for December 17 in the District Committee.Ramat Shlomo is one of five
neighborhoods ringing Jerusalem – along with Gilo, Ramot, Pisgat Ze'ev and east
Talpiyot, which are located across the Green Line. The District Planning and
Construction Committee last discussed the project in August 2011, during the
height of the social justice tent protests, when Yishai trumpeted the project as
a way to build affordable housing for young people.Hagit Ofran, the head
of the Settlement Watch Project at Peace Now, said the timing was part of the
large settlement push with the announcement of the resumption of the approval
process for E1."The government is continuing to advance everything they
can," said Ofran. "I don't know what they're thinking of themselves, but they're
doing everything they can to avoid a two-state solution."Melanie Lidman

Norovirus, the sometimes deadly, always uncomfortable, and extremely contagious virus commonly known as food poisoning, affects more than 20 million people each year. But even though norovirus is commonly associated with contaminated, expired, or undercooked food, the Center for Disease Control recently came out with a report that suggests that approximately 70 percent of norovirus outbreaks are caused by food workers, primarily from touching prepared foods with bare hands.
The CDC is urging restaurants and other food service industry professionals to help battle the outbreak of the norovirus by cracking down on hand-washing, and usage of gloves when handling raw or ready-made foods. In addition, the CDC says that food workers should be required to stay home when ill on paid sick leave ( Connecticut is currently the only state with mandatory paid sick leave within the private sector).
"The food service industry has a crucial role to play in helping prevent norovirus outbreaks from contaminated food," said CDC director Tom Frieden. "A lot more can be done to increase food safety and ensure that food service workers adhere to food safety laws, regulations, and guidelines."

India to allow sugar exports for 2012/13 season
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India, which is likely to produce a sugar surplus for its third year in a row, has decided to allow exports for another year, Food Minster K.V. Thomas said, reflecting confidence about domestic supplies in the world's top consumer of the sweetener.
Mills and traders will have to wait for a formal order to export sugar in the new season that began on October 1, however. India, also the world's top producer after Brazil, has been exporting for the past two years.
But the country has not been able to sign fresh export deals in the recent past due to rising domestic prices and lower global rates.
The decision to continue with unrestricted exports indicates ample availability, especially during the current festival season when demand peaks, said Mukesh Kuvadia, secretary of the Bombay Sugar Merchants Association.
Output would not fall below 23.0 million to 23.5 million tonnes in the 2012/13 season, Thomas said.
"In terms of availability for the domestic market, I do not see any problem, as we have carryover stocks of 6 million tonnes from the previous season and production will not be less than 23.0 million to 23.5 million tonnes against our consumption of about 22 million tonnes," Thomas said.
The previous year's output was 26 million tonnes.
Cycles in India's sugar output have caused alternate gluts and shortages that force the world's top consumer to export and import almost every three years.
To end the cycle, C. Rangarajan, top economic adviser to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, has urged freeing up the tightly regulated sugar sector, but the step needs cabinet approval.
The government will act soon on the matter, Thomas said.
"The recommendations of the Rangarajan committee will not meet the fate of the reports of earlier committees. We will soon take a decision on these recommendations," he said.

Court to referee union-company agreement
The Supreme Court will decide whether a business and a union's agreement is valid after the business helped the union organize in return for help with a ballot initiative.
The Associated Press
The Supreme Court will decide whether a business and a union's agreement is valid after the business helped the union organize in return for help with a ballot initiative.
The high court on Monday agreed to hear appeals from UNITE HERE Local 355, which wants to challenge a ruling saying its deal with Hollywood Greyhound Track, Inc., known as Mardi Gras Gaming, may be illegal.
The union agreed to help the company win a gambling ballot initiative legalizing slot machines at racetracks and said it would not picket, boycott, or strike. Mardi Gras officials agreed to give the union employee addresses, access to the facility and not ask for a secret ballot election on unionizing.
Labor law says companies cannot give unions that want to represent employees something of value.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
No Rush to Move A Goalie

Don't expect the Buffalo Sabres to trade one of their goalies anytime soon. Rumors circulating around the NHL frequently mention the Sabres and their three netminders, especially now that Ryan Miller is on the cusp of returning from his broken right thumb and Martin Biron is riding a record hot streak. It's no secret the Vancouver Canucks are interested in Biron now that Dan Cloutier is done for the season. But Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said after Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that he's had no discussions regarding his goalies with the Canucks - or any other team, for that matter. "There will come a decision," Regier said. "The bigger question right now is getting one guy back. Then we'll go from there."read on

Brothers arrested in killings of 2 men in Reading, witness near Allentown
Updated On: Apr 09 2013 05:48:13 PM CDT
Two brothers have been arrested in the brutal killings of two men in Reading and a witness to the double homicide, whose body was later found burned near Allentown.
Michael Allen Wilkins, 37, and Maurice Adrian Wilkins, 32, both of Ruscombmanor Twp., Berks Co., have been charged with three counts of first and third degree murder and related offenses, officials announced Tuesday.
"With these two arrests, I'm hopeful we can bring justice to the victim's families," said Berks County District Attorney John Adams.
The Wilkins brothers, police said, shot and killed Rafael Alequin, of Cumru Twp., Berks Co., and Dario McLemore, of Palmer Twp., Northampton Co., in the 1100 block of Franklin Street in Reading on Dec. 4.
The killings, according to court documents, stemmed from an apparent drug deal. The two victims ripped off Michael Wilkins by giving him fake cocaine in exchange for $700, officials said.
The men then kidnapped Jennifer Velez-Negron, who set up the deal between Michael Wilkins and the two homicide victims, according to court documents.
The brothers tortured Velez-Negron, 26, of Reading, inside a city home. According to court documents, Velez-Negron was bound to a chair with duct tape, gagged with a cloth and forced to ingest heroin. The brothers reportedly recorded the torture with a cell phone.
The brothers then drove her to neighboring Lehigh County, doused the body with gasoline and set her on fire, officials said.
"She was kidnapped and tortured in Reading, taken to Salisbury Township, where her body was found engulfed in flames," said Adams.
The gruesome discovery was made on Dec. 27, authorities said. She was found with her legs tied together and a cloth secured in her mouth with what appeared to be duct tape, according to court documents.
"This was probably one of the most brutal murders that we have investigated in this county [Berks] and Lehigh County in quite some time," said Adams.
According to investigators, both brothers have an extensive criminal background, and neither was eligible to possess a firearm.
Maurice Wilkins was arrested at his home in Ruscombmanor Township and charged in the double homicide on Jan. 5; Michael Wilkins was arrested Monday evening at Routes 12 and 662, Adams said.
"The cooperation that existed between the Berks County investigators and the Lehigh County investigators was really first rate," said Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin.
Martin also credited the Lehigh County Regional Intelligence Investigation Center for helping to solve the case.
"This is a center that has been under development and a work in progress for six or seven years. It is a web-based security law enforcement network, which provides access in Lehigh County to over 3-and-a-half million police incident reports for all the police departments in the county," Martin said.
In addition to the first and third degree murder charges, the Wilkins brothers have been charged with criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, possessing instruments of a crime and kidnapping.
"We believe there are other individuals in our community and in Lehigh County who have information in regard to this incident," said Adams.
Authorities are looking for anyone with information about the case to come forward and tell what they know by contacting Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913.

Business insolvency rate falls for North East
New figures from Experian, a global information services company, have revealed that the rate of business insolvencies steadied in March 2012 with 0.11% of the UK's business population failing, the same level as recorded in March 2011.
The North East of England, a region that has traditionally been one of the hardest hit for insolvencies, recorded a significant improvement in failure rates, declining from 0.22% of its business population in March 2011 to 0.14% in March 2012. This was the biggest year-on-year improvement of any region.
The health of the business community in the North East – measured using an average of Experian financial strength scores attributed to local businesses – rose from 81.71 in March 2011 to 84.50 in March 2012. Only businesses in the East Midlands recorded a bigger average improvement in financial strength, from 81.82 in March 2011 to 84.89.
Max Firth, UK MD for Experian's business information services division, said: "March was a positive month for businesses in the North East and an improving financial strength score is encouraging. It highlights that even in regions which have experienced some of the highest rates of insolvencies over the past year, there will be potential pockets of opportunities for organisations to extend credit and increase business.
"However, the North East does still have the second highest insolvency rate in the UK, so it is vital that businesses fully understand the financial risks associated with firms they deal with. This message is pertinent across the UK, regardless of region or sector. Where there are risks there are also opportunities."

Ohio, Ky. and Ind. sign landmark water agreement to spur innovation: EXCLUSIVE
Send this to a friend
State regulators with Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana signed a landmark cooperative agreement aimed at making Greater Cincinnati a more attractive location for companies working to snag a piece of the lucrative water technology market.
The multi-state memorandum of understanding has been brokered over the past two years by Confluence, a nonprofit working to make the broader Dayton-Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky region an international hub for water technology research and commercialization.
It was signed Jan. 16 during a celebration marking two years since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Small Business Administration formed Confluence as a way to leverage the region's abundant supply of clean, high-quality water and rich concentration of water research scientists and facilities. Confluence board Chairman Alan Vicory said the agreement is the first of its kind in the nation.
"It's going to allow companies to not have to go state by state by state," said Barbara Bennett, chief financial officer for the EPA. "This will attract companies for investment and hopefully create a nice market."
Prior to the agreement, a company that wanted to test some new water technology had to apply for permits one state at a time, jumping through the same regulatory hoops over and over. This agreement allows Confluence to work with companies to complete testing that can be approved by all three states at once – dramatically speeding time to market. It also should help state agencies, which struggle with the manpower to process such approvals, said Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally, a big supporter of the MOU.
