Murder is out; trial goes on
Prosecutors can't prove fetus was viable for capital charge
Prosecutors dropped capital murder charges Wednesday against a man accused of stabbing his girlfriend 17 times, resulting in the death of her fetus.
Prosecutor Mark Skurka said he asked that the charge against Bruce Wayne Gerard be dropped because doctors would not be able to testify Stephanie Reyes, now 17, was carrying a viable fetus. She was six weeks pregnant when she was stabbed Sept. 1, 2005.
Gerard, 24, still faces charges of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit aggravated assault, which carries a penalty of five to 99 years or life in prison.
He also faces charges of violation of a protective order and retaliation. Prosecutors weren't seeking the death penalty on the capital murder charge.
Skurka gave no further details about the decision to drop the charge, citing the ongoing trial. It was the first time the Nueces County District Attorney's Office had sought such a charge in the death of a fetus, which became an option in 2003.
Defense attorney Kenneth Botary said he was glad he didn't have to fight the murder charge, but he doubted the prosecution could have proved its case.
"All along I didn't think they had enough," he said.
Botary said he brought up the question of the fetus' age and its viability in his opening statement. He also asked Reyes whether she planned to abort the baby. She testified she had no such plans.
During cross-examination Wednesday, Botary asked Reyes a question suggesting she had cheated on Reyes and had antagonized him. Reyes screamed at Gerard and broke down crying. District Judge Jose Longoria ordered the jury out of the room, and as Reyes stood up, she accused Gerard of having a relationship with a 14-year-old girl.
"I got stabbed and lost my baby because of you," she cried, as the judge ordered her out of the room and called the lawyers to the bench.
As she walked past Gerard, she muttered, "this sorry bastard."
Her testimony continued after a brief recess.
The prosecution also called the doctor who treated Reyes in the emergency room and one of the police officers who responded to the scene.
Skurka said he plans to call more officers and a DNA expert when the trial resumes at 8:30 a.m. today in the 214th District Court.

Boundary case of equality in optimal Loewner-type inequalities
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We prove certain optimal systolic inequalities for a closed Riemannian manifold , depending on a pair of parameters, and . Here is the dimension of , while is its first Betti number. The proof of the inequalities involves constructing Abel-Jacobi maps from to its Jacobi torus , which are area-decreasing (on -dimensional areas), with respect to suitable norms. These norms are the stable norm of , the conformally invariant norm, as well as other -norms. Here we exploit -minimizing differential 1-forms in cohomology classes. We characterize the case of equality in our optimal inequalities, in terms of the criticality of the lattice of deck transformations of , while the Abel-Jacobi map is a harmonic Riemannian submersion. That the resulting inequalities are actually nonvacuous follows from an isoperimetric inequality of Federer and Fleming, under the assumption of the nonvanishing of the homology class of the lift of the typical fiber of the Abel-Jacobi map to the maximal free abelian cover.

Social Media
Agency documents can now be annotated and explained by the crowd.
Rap lyricism and governmentese aren't close relatives. Some might argue that they are polar opposites. But the General Services Administration recently approved terms of service with the social media annotation platform Rap Genius -- a site originally dedicated to explaining rap lyrics -- to break down both the jargon and allusions in official government documents, speeches and reports.
A Stanford intellectual property law professor was interested in annotating Salt-N-Pepa lyrics on Rap Genius, then decided to upload and open the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to annotation.
So while Rap Genius was launched to illuminate the often-overlooked significance of certain song lines, its aperture has grown wider and wider to include different types of music, famous poetry, classical literature and now government-speak.
Federal documents like GSA Mentor-Protégé Program will most often be found on sister site News Genius. Readers are able to click different highlighted terms for context and read general questions and answers about the document in a sidebar.
Rap Genius marries the main concepts of Wikipedia and Sparknotes in that anybody can contribute to annotations, although the site is monitored for accuracy, and it breaks down dense language into more-comprehensible prose, whether it is Shakespeare's Hamlet or Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's latest economic report.
"I think this is a great way for us to really start engaging and telling people what our programs actually do, how to find everything in one place," Stephanie Rivera, chief of staff for GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy, said at a recent #SocialGov summit.
IIan Zechory, founder of Rap Genius, said the site can increase citizen accessibility to government resources.
Zechory said that the service is not just a tool for government employees, but also for citizens to better understand policy so they can scrutinize it.
"It's not just so that experts within the government agencies can elucidate and make more clear what's going on," he said. "It's also … that people who are confused can say, 'hey this makes no sense.'"

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism as the result of a chemical reaction during which chemical energy is converted to light energy. Its name is a hybrid word, originating from the Greek bios for "living" and the Latin lumen "light". Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is involved in most instances. The chemical reaction can occur either inside or outside the cell. In bacteria, the expression of genes related to bioluminescence is controlled by an operon called the Lux operon. Bioluminescence has appeared independently several times (up to 30 or more) during evolution.
Bioluminescence occurs in marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as microorganisms and terrestrial animals. Symbiotic organisms carried within larger organisms are also known to bioluminesce.
Ninety percent of deep-sea marine life is estimated to produce bioluminescence in one form or another. Most marine light-emission belongs in the blue and green light spectrum, the wavelengths that can transmit through the seawater most easily. However, certain loose-jawed fish emit red and infrared light and the genus Tomopteris emits yellow bioluminescence.
Non-marine bioluminescence is less widely distributed, but a larger variety in colours is seen. The two best-known forms of land bioluminescence are fireflies and glow worms. Other insects, insect larvae, annelids, arachnids and even species of fungi have been noted to possess bioluminescent abilities.
Some forms of bioluminescence are brighter (or only exist) at night, following a circadian rhythm.
Bioluminescence is used as a lure to attract prey by several deep sea fish such as the anglerfish. A dangling appendage that extends from the head of the fish attracts small animals to within striking distance of the fish. Some fish, however, use a non-bioluminescent lure.
The cookiecutter shark uses bioluminescence for camouflage, but a small patch on its underbelly remains dark and appears as a small fish to large predatory fish like tuna and mackerel. When these fish try to consume the "small fish", they are eaten by the shark.
Dinoflagellates have an interesting twist on this mechanism. When a predator of plankton is sensed through motion in the water, the dinoflagellate luminesces. This in turn attracts even larger predators which will consume the would-be predator of the dinoflagellate.
The attraction of mates is another proposed mechanism of bioluminescent action. This is seen actively in fireflies, which use periodic flashing in their abdomens to attract mates in the mating season. In the marine environment this has only been well-documented in certain small crustaceans called ostracod. It has been suggested that pheromones may be used for long-distance communication, and bioluminescent used at close range to "home in" on the target.
Bioluminescent organisms are a target for many areas of research. Luciferase systems are widely used in the field of genetic engineering as reporter genes. Luciferase systems have also been harnessed for biomedical research using bioluminescence imaging.
Vibrio symbiosis with numerous marine invertebrates and fish, namely the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid (Euprymna scolopes), are key experimental model for symbiosis, quorum sensing, and bioluminescence.
The structure of photophores, the light producing organs in bioluminescent organisms, are being investigated by industrial designers.
Some proposed applications of engineered bioluminescence include:
All cells produce some form of bioluminescence within the electromagnetic spectrum, but most are neither visible nor noticeable to the naked eye. Every organism's bioluminescence is unique in wavelength, duration, timing and regularity of flashes. Below follows a list of organisms which have been observed to have visible bioluminescence.

Winter Olympics begin Friday, Feb. 12
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
The Olympic Cauldron will be lit in Vancouver this Friday evening, Feb. 12, to begin the 2010 Winter Games. More than 2,700 athletes from all corners of the globe will gather to compete in 15 different events. Each competitor will be trying to earn the most prestigious award in all of international athletics, the Olympic gold medal.
From the opening moment until the closing ceremony Feb. 28, the best athletes in the world will compete in events ranging from Alpine skiing to speed skating.
Some of the notable entrants in this year's Olympics include Lisa Chesson. She is a 23-year-old who will be playing hockey for the United States team. She is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 152 pounds. Chesson is one of a handful of female hockey players from around the world in this year's Olympics.
Sixteen-year-old Ashley Caldwell from the United States will be one of the youngest Olympians. She will represent our country in free-style-skiing. Two athletes on theother end of the age spectrum are 43-yearold Cheryl Bernard from Canada and Hubertus Von Hohenlohe from Mexico. Bernard will be competing in curling. Von Hohenlohe was born Feb. 2, 1959. He just celebrated his 51st birthday, and will be attempting to medal in Alpine skiing. Jamaica has one athlete going to Vancouver. He is 23- year-old Errol Kerr. He will compete in free-style skiing.
Of the 223 athletes representing the United States, Tracy Sachtjen is the oldest American on the team. She will celebrate her 41st birthday during the games. Sachtjen will turn 41 Feb. 20. She is on the U.S. curling team. The oldest male on the U.S. team is also a curler. He is 40-year-old John Benton.
Anton Apolo Ohno (short-track speed skating), Evan Lysacek (men's figure skating), Shaun White (snowboarding) are a few of the Americans expected to contend for Olympic gold.
From the Opening Ceremony to the final trip to the podium, NBC will air nearly 200 hours of Olympic coverage over the Games'17 days. Network coverage features everything from ice sports like figure skating, speed skating and curling to snow sports like Alpine skiing, luge and ski jumpingLocal Channel 13 will be your home for Olympic coverage on television in this area.

I'm EBF and a FTM. For me, BFing hurts worse than labor did. Am I the only one? We had some issues at first, so I used a nipple shield for about 5 weeks. That hurt, too. Now we're off the shield and my nipples, especially my right one, are really sore. They're raw and a little scabbed, too. We've only been off the shield for 8 days, and I keep telling myself that it will get better. Please tell me that it will. I've met with 3 lactation consultants, and my LO has a fine latch -- nice wide open mouth with flanged lips -- it's just that he seems to suck so hard and I've always had sensitive nipples.
I feel like no one talks about how much pain there is with breastfeeding, which makes me feel like there's something wrong with me. I'm not going to give up, but I'm really tempted at times. I just need some support! Please help.

Block Printing Stamps: A No-Fire Way to Make a Great Impression
There are myriad ways to get texture on clay – one of these being the handmade bisque stamp. But sometimes you just want more immediate gratification. That's where carving block printing material comes in. In today's post, Ann Ruel explains how to use these printing tools to easily create your own stamp designs (with no need to own a kiln). These could come in handy for someone who works at a community art center and doesn't want to wait for a bisque stamp to be fired.
Plywood Press Molds: A Great Technique for Enlivening Your Pottery Forms
Potter Ann Ruel says that, although it was the mesmerizing spin of the potter's wheel that originally drew her in to pottery, she soon felt she needed to break those circular boundaries. Today, we present a technique Ann uses for making interestingly shaped press molds out of plywood. These slump and hump molds can create endless new possibilities for new forms for your pottery.
Adding Dimension to Stenciled Imagery on Pottery
Stenciling is a great decorative technique for pottery. In the latest issue of Pottery Making Illustrated, Ann Ruel shares her ideas for getting a stenciled look with more dimension. I thought her ideas were pretty nifty so I have excerpted from the article in today's post.

Gathering at Angel Mounds
Voices of East re-enactment
David Baumgartner is serious enough about being an Indian re-enactor that he has a mohawk haircut and pigtails that extend halfway down his back.
What: Third annual Voices of the East re-enactment
When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today
Where: Angel Mounds State Historic Site
Admission: $5 per person, free for children 3 and younger
But the 52-year-old man from Charleston, Ill., laughs when asked how the hair plays at his real job.
"I'm a salesman for Coca-Cola. When I meet customers, the way I look is like an icebreaker. In the long run, I think it helps me."
About three dozen Native Americans and their descendants were at Angel Mounds State Historic Site on Saturday for the third Voices of the East re-enactment.
They demonstrated herbal medicine and cooking techniques. Exhibitions were given in archery, dancing and music. The period clothing and shelters were in keeping with tribal traditions from the Shawnee, Cherokee, Mohawk and Delaware Indians.
Like Baumgartner, re-enactor Jeff Havert has a nose ring and orange paint covering his shaved head. But the long black hair is fake.
"You have to draw the line somewhere," says the 59-year-old man who lives in Fort Wayne, Ind.
The men go to a dozen or so events like this every year. While they were compensated for the three-day Evansville encampment, that is not always the case.
"We do this because we love history, not money," Havert says. "You can easily spend a thousand bucks and more on the costumes, and that doesn't count the musket that will set you back $500 or so."
Re-enactors, Baumgartner notes, pride themselves on attention to detail.
"Our coats are hand-stitched. Our belts are woven. We sew our own moccasins and leggings. Jeff's even got deer toes for rattles that he uses during dances."
Havert nods.
"You definitely don't get this stuff at Wal-Mart."
Baumgartner grew up on a farm near Mount Carmel, Ill.
"I found a lot of arrowheads, and that sparked my interest in Native Americans. It grows out of a love of history and wanting to show people what life was like back in the Indian days."

Map Maker allows simple integration of map information from rich content sources around the world including Twitter, EventBrite, WikiPedia, Meetup, GroupOn, InstaGram, Meetup, SeeClickFix, EPA, YouTube, Yelp, CitiGrid, Active.com, Ticket Network, Conference Hound and others.
This new service was developed with citizen journalism and bloggers in mind. Custom maps are helpful tools in telling a local, national or international story. Map Maker quickly adds location icons that tie directly to a topic. For instance, a blog on local events could have a custom pin for every mention, with each pin displaying a short description of the featured event, plus carry other event listings from Meetup, EventBrite, and Brown Paper Tickets.
Spencer Nassar, CEO of GatheringPoint, says, "There are hundreds of applications for our new service when you think of all the posts and longer stories that could use a map. Local residents, as well as travelers, benefit from map-based information to access and share. GatheringPoint helps fill those needs with easy-to-add custom maps."
In addition to Map Maker for individuals, GatheringPoint has increased mapping, social media and other usage for business partners including ConferenceHound.com (http://www.conferencehound.com) and The Active Times (http://theactivetimes.com).

Mo Vaughn played eight seasons with the Red Sox, winning an MVP award in 1995 before departing for the ten-Anaheim Angels. Likewise, it seems that the former first baseman recalls his time in Beantown fondly, and, on Thursday, sent some words of encouragement to the city. Vaughn took out a half-page ad in Thursday's edition of The Boston Globe, calling Boston "the greatest sports town in the country." He also gave credit to the first responders and runners who took part, ultimately referring to everyone in the city as "heroes in my eyes." The full text (as transcribed by The Globe) is below, and a picture of the ad below that. "As a former Major League Baseball player, I spent 8 years playing in the greatest sports town in the country. I'm deeply saddened by the tragic events that took place this past Monday at The Boston Marathon. Patriots Day is the one day each year that this great city celebrates the bravery and heroism of the people that live here. As a community, you quickly pulled together by rushing to the aid of the many injured — first responders, runners and the spectators themselves — you all are heroes in my eyes. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the City of Boston, especially to the families and friends of those who lost their lives or were injured in this horrible incident.

I would like this too.
I noticed because I've had some trackbacks that just reference my site - not a post, the blog as a whole - and they are getting tagged onto the first post I made using WP.
Comments are shut off with the 'auto-close' plugin, but obviously tbs and pings are being added.
If a trackback to my site works, then a spammers job just got a whole lot easier didn't it ?
I've had no trackback spam, but this seems like a great big hole somewhere, and it could do with closing.

A former Labour minister has written to the Prime Minister calling for him to back a minute's silence at the London Olympics in memory of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered in Munich 40 years ago.
Ed Balls may have his problems persuading the wider public of his charms, but he has always been a popular figure in the Jewish community.
He is a consistent supporter of Israel who spent considerable time working on the economic situation in the occupied territories on behalf of the G8.
An incoming Labour government will learn from the Israeli hi-tech success story and consolidate the UK-Israel trade relationship, according to Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls.
Opposition MPs are calling on the government to agree to a parliamentary commemoration the Munich Olympic massacre when the games come to London this summer.
An organisation which has featured Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at a seminar is to hold a meeting at the House of Commons, with the support of five Labour MPs.
MPs Sir Gerald Kaufman, Andy Slaughter, Jeremy Corbyn and Andy Love are the guest speakers at the Palestinian Return Centre's (PRC) meeting on June 18 at the House of Commons to mark International Refugee Day.
A pro-Palestinian group has won a legal battle against a Labour MP who implied they were Holocaust deniers.
Friends of Al-Aqsa, one of the groups which invited "blood libel" cleric Raed Saleh to speak at the House of Commons, received a formal apology from Ian Austin MP for a blog he wrote on the site Labour Uncut.
Journalism is a competitive business but sometimes the competition comes from a wholly unexpected source. I'd planned a while ago to write in this slot about the Jewishness of Ed Miliband. Little did I know that the latest edition of the New Statesman, a special on British Jewish life published on Thursday, would carry a column on the same topic - written by Ed Miliband.
On Monday, Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East held its annual parliamentary reception. The usual backbench phalanx was there, including Jeremy Corbyn and Richard Burden.
A bitterly fought election campaign ended on Friday evening with Boris Johnson named the next mayor of London.
The Conservative incumbent defeated Ken Livingstone by a narrow margin of 51.5 per cent to 48.5 per cent.
He pledged to fight for a "good deal for Londoners," and thanked voters for giving him "a new chance and a new mandate to take us forward".
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley has refused to intervene over the withdrawal of an invitation to an Israeli conflict resolution expert to speak at an NHS-sponsored event next week.
The invitation to Moty Cristal, who has advised Palestinian groups and human rights organisations, was cancelled following a demand from the Unison trade union.

Concerns raised over Plancher's final practice
Report: UCF players tell of intense workout, coach cursing before former Lely star collapsed and died
Ereck Plancher's death is once again the hot topic on the Internet message boards. But this time, the emotions aren't the same.
They carry punch.
The change of heart stems from a story the Orlando Sentinel ran on the front page of its Friday print editions. The story quoted four University of Central Florida football players, who asked for anonymity because they feared retribution.
"UCF players, coach differ over football player's death," the headline read.
Plancher, of course, is the player in question. The 19-year-old redshirt freshman from Naples died March 18 following a morning workout with his UCF teammates.
What kind of workout?
UCF officials, namely athletic director Keith Tribble and head coach George O'Leary, had described the drills as "routine" in the hours and days that followed.
But the four players gave a different account when they spoke to the Sentinel, saying the university had not described the events honestly.
"It was the toughest workout since I've been here," the Sentinel quoted one veteran player saying. "It definitely was not a light workout."
According to the story, players said they saw several teammates vomit during the workout. They said Plancher struggled more than anyone. They said he was cursed by O'Leary for "lack of effort" after a conditioning drill involving timed sprints.
The paper posted the meat of the report on its Web site at 10:19 p.m. Thursday, grabbing the attention of everyone who'd followed Plancher's story.
By late Thursday night, a Facebook group had formed. The group had 194 members and 40 wall posts within 16 hours.
The page served as a forum for friends of the former Lely High star to voice their frustration, confusion and anger.
"Fire George O'Leary for Ereck," the group was named.
Enock Plancher, Ereck's father, didn't join the Internet discussions, but he had similar emotions when he learned of the Sentinel's report.
He read it Thursday night on a tip from one of Ereck's aunts. He said Friday he and his wife, Gisele, were taking it to heart.
"It looks like they have something to hide," Enock Plancher said. "They either don't want to tell us what happened or they're scared to tell us."
Enock Plancher said he and his family haven't heard much from UCF since their son's death. He said he hadn't spoken to O'Leary since March 20, the day the Knights' coach flew to Naples and visited the Planchers at their Martin Street home.
"He told us it was during practice," Plancher said, "and that the boy fell. He said they called an ambulance, they tried CPR and then he died."
What happened prior to that, however, has come into question.
The players quoted by the Sentinel say Plancher showed signs of distress. That his eyes got dark during timed sprints late in the workout and he was having trouble breathing. That he fell, before coaches yelled at him to finish the drill.
Chris Metzger, Plancher's coach at Lely, said he never saw Plancher struggle with conditioning drills. He'd have been alarmed if he did.
"This is a kid who didn't struggle to get through anything," Metzger said Friday. "He never had any problems — everything was always 110 percent."
That's basically what Plancher's former Lely teammates kept saying. They called the player's death a mystery.
And it remains that.
An autopsy was performed on Plancher the day after he died, but the results were inconclusive, so further tests are being done.
Enock Plancher said he had no idea when the answers would come. He said the family would wait, though, before deciding whether to take legal action.
"We don't think about that yet," Enock Plancher said. "We're still looking for the truth."
He's not alone.
Lely football coach Steve Pricer, who took over for Metzger following Plancher's senior season, said he's been bombarded by phone calls from Sentinel reporters working the story. He said he doesn't have much he can tell them.
"Everything I've heard has been second-hand," Pricer said. "The only thing I can say for sure is we're pretty darn distressed about it."
Only a couple of weeks ago, mourners poured into Lely High — roughly 3,000 of them — for Plancher's memorial service.
Pricer spoke. So did Metzger. So did O'Leary. So did several others.
The conclusions were simple, because everyone said the same thing. Everyone said Plancher was a great kid headed to a better place.
Now, there's clutter.
Some of the faces in the crowd for the service that day — the entire UCF football team came — have spoken out, distancing the road to closure.
"I've got to watch what I say," Metzger said, "because I don't have all the facts. But it's a concern when stories conflict. A grave concern."

Get a copy of Alan Greene's "Primitive Photography". It has a detailed section on making film holders that is very good. Another idea is Otto Dippold's manuals - he wrote them on both camera making and film holder constuction. Otto used to sell them on eBay- but I haven't seen them there in a while.
Another take on the xray film thing- use lith film and develop it in exhausted dektol. Freestle has a bunch of 11x14 lith films that won't break the bank and yield a very nice continuous tone negative- but exposure times will be long.

AP Goes Ahead and Calls Blagojevich a 'Distraction' for Obama
7:30 PM, Dec 9, 2008 • By MARY KATHARINE HAM
No need to wait for Obama to frame the issue when the Associated Press knows his favorite words already. They are great students of his oratory, after all:
And, again, just a few paragraphs later, after a vigorous defense of Obama and a rigorous downplaying of his connections to Blago:
The story goes on to castigate mean Republicans who just won't let the issue drop, already. Again, the AP should just drop the grown-up words and write with emoticons. The picture associated with the story even features Obama wearing a frowny face. The pathos!
AP also does Obama a solid by using his statement that he never met with Blagojevich about his Senate replacement while saving David Alxelrod's very different statement for two thirds into the story. Then, this predictable rejoinder from the Obama team:
We've heard that so many times, the AP could have written that line, too.

2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Q&A
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Question: Heated Seat Problems
My heated seats quit working. Also, the power drivers seat quit working at the same time. Fuses are good. Passenger power seat works fine. At first, the heated seats and power drivers seat stopped working and then the next morning it would work fine. This happened a couple of times where they would work one minute and not the next. Now they don't work at all. - reierme
2 Answers
Answer 1
The connector for the seat adjust and heat come through the carpet underneath the drivers seat. Common occurance is toys or books jammed under the seat from the back which in turn will eventually disconnect the connector and cause both to not work. Remove clutter and reconnect. Hope this helps - Ron-subaru master
Answer 2
I had exact problem with my 2006 2500 Silverado. I reached under front of drivers seat, directly below where your right leg would be and attached to the seat bottom. One of the connectors had come apart slightly. This has at least temporarily solved the problem. Now just monitoring if or until it pulls apart again. Kinda weird but thankfully a easy fix. Too cold here in Minnesota for no heated seats. - Visitor

San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors Free NBA Pick
- Updated: April 15, 2013
Matchup: San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors
Date/Time: Monday, April 15, 2013 10:30 p.m. (ET)
Television: NBA TV
NHL Betting Odds from VietBet Sportsbook
Moneyline: Golden State -2
Total: 209.5
San Antonio trails Oklahoma City by one game for the top spot in the Western Conference with just two games to play in the regular season, but its current form leaves much to be desired. The Spurs are just 3-5 straight-up in their last eight games and even worse against the spread at 2-8 in their last 10 outings. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight games.
With the exception of Manu Ginobili, who remains out with a strained hamstring, San Antonio is as healthy as it has been all season long. Despite having Tony Parker (20.4 points), Tim Duncan (17.8 points) and Kawhi Leonard (12 points) available for a good part of their last eight games, the Spurs have only managed to average 92.6 points as opposed to a season average of 103.1 points a game that is ranked fourth in the NBA.
Golden State remains tie with Houston for the sixth spot in the West at 45-35 SU (40-39-1 ATS) even with back-to-back losses last week to the Thunder and the Lakers. This followed a 6-2 SU (5-3 ATS) run in its previous eight games. The total went OVER in its last two games after staying UNDER in five of those eight contests.
The Warriors only major injury concern for Monday night is center Andrew Bogut, who is listed as questionable with bone bruise in his ankle that caused him to miss last Friday's game. Stephen Curry and David Lee remain responsible for a good deal of the team's success this season with a combined 41.3 points, 15.2 rebounds and 10.5 assists a game. Golden State is ranked ninth in the NBA in scoring (101 points) but 19th in points allowed (100.4 points).
Free NBA Pick
San Antonio has won two of three meetings this season SU, but Golden State is 2-1 ATS including a late February 107-101 overtime victory as a 3.5-point home underdog. The one constant has been that all three games stayed UNDER the total. Stick with that trend in the regular season series finale between the two as the total once again stays UNDER.
San Antonio vs. Golden State UNDER 203

If you've been hankering for old school metal look no further than this fine new offering from Judas Priest. Putting this cd on is like stepping into a time machine in the very best way. Awesome song titles like Metalizer and Halls of Valhalla, and my personal favorite Dragonaught signal exactly what you're in for. Songs about fires in the sky, black hell, ghosts, revenge and "on that two wheeler from hell on the wind" the Redeemer of Souls. The band rocks hard and Rob Halford can still scream with the conviction of a tween at a One Direction concert. If you loved them then you will love them now. Enjoy the sample below and then check our catalog [2].

Get in the holiday spirit with one of my favorite holiday-themed albums of all time. The perfect balance of melancholic nostalgia, tight jazz improvisation, and plenty of space to think about falling snow. I get tired pretty quickly listening to the songs that sprout like weeds this time of year, but I've never grown tired of this album. I picked up the sheet music a few years ago and try and bang out some of the parts on my piano at home. I like both the original numbers (Christmas time is here, Skating) as well as the arrangements of familiar tunes (esp. Greensleeves and What Child is This). Not sure if I'll watch the special this year, but I sure will enjoy listening and remember poor Charlie Brown and his sad little tree. Check our catalog [5] and listen now [6].

Listening to a blues radio show this last weekend I heard an amazing guitarist I hadn't heard before. The DJ said it was recorded live in Belfast in the early 1970's - at a time when Belfast was a very unsafe place. I went to the library catalog and didn't find any CDs I could borrow, but I was delighted to discover a significant number of titles [9] from our streaming service (hoopla). I was further thrilled to find what I have learned is considered one of his pinacle concerts in a deluxe package prepared last summer for the 40th anniversary. 56 songs, over six and a half hours of music await! I'm listening right now and loving it. I know I'll come back for repeated listenings. Now I just need to find a copy of the film documenting this concert - any tips? Wait, it's on youtube, I'll share it below. Check our catalog [10]

For no good reason, Sleater-Kinney has been one of those groups that I've had on the backburner for quite a while. After hearing that they were reuniting after a decade hiatus, I thought I should finally educate myself with this pivotal band in the riot grrrl and indie rock scene. The Woods is the last album they released in 2005, and it's an anthem for butt-kicking women everywhere. The opening track "The Fox" is a powerful jam that sets the precedent for hard guitar riffs and catchy vocals. "What's Mine is Yours" is reminiscent of more classic rock elements with the Sleater-Kinney brand of sharp lyrics. And if it's possible to be in love with a song upon first hearing, then it's the 11 minute track "Let's Call It Love" for me. It's on repeat. LOUD. (Sorry, neighbors!) I was so mistaken to not have listened to Sleater-Kinney in the naivete of my youth, but as they say, better late than never! I'm looking forward to diving deep into the rest of Sleater-Kinney's discography available at the library, and needless to say, I can't wait for the release of their new album, No Cities To Love, in January. Listen to Sleater-Kinney NOW [13] (with hoopla) and check our catalog [14] to borrow a physical copy.

Oh the sweet, comforting songs of a strong voice and a soulful electric guitar. Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone is her first album on her own label, Highway 20 Records. She's had some famous fights with labels and it sure is great to hear her stretch out her complete control. This is a long album - two cds, just shy of two hours of music, and it feels great the entire time. As the nights get long this will be a good friend. Check our catalog [17]

As a librarian, with access to all manner of free entertainment, I rarely purchase a CD. I get EVERYTHING from the library. But when I heard the song Avant Gardener and found that it was not available at any of the libraries to which I have access, I had to buy it. I do not regret it. I really love this CD. It's full of great songs that are witty and festive, delivered in a raspy deadpan. The rockers rock and the slow songs are melodic and thoughtful. The Thomas Crane now owns a copy of this CD so you too can experience this excellent work. I can't wait to hear what she does next. Enjoy the live performance of Avant Gardener below and check our catalog [20] to borrow this great CD.

Sweet psychedelic rock from Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl. Catchy melodies, plenty of noise, and a good beat. It is pretty wild to hear the musical and clear vocal resonance of Sean's famous father (John), but this music also really stands on its own. Lots of stelar tracks. I particularly enjoy Animals (the video is also fun - see below). Check Our Catalog [23]

Rich is fifteen and plays a mean guitar. One night he is magically transported back in time to the Woodstock Music Festival where he meets many of his idols, including Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. More life shaking, he meets the young man who years later would become his father - and his father's brother, who died before Rich was even conceived. This is a great book for fans of classic rock music, but its also good for anyone who's trying to get some perspective on the complex lives that make our parents act the way they do. Rich's parents never let him do any of the crazy things they enjoyed doing as teenagers. This book isn't preachy either - there are plenty of things his parents used to do that are acknowledged and not judged overly harshly (revolving specifically around matters of sex and drugs).

Eric Clapton channels J.J. Cale in this newly released tribute to Cale's rootsy, bluesy music. You might know the Clapton hits "Cocaine" and "After Midnight" but not that they were written by Cale. This album showcases Cale's relaxed, laid-back style, perfect listening while sitting on your back deck sipping your favorite summer beverage. Listen now to The Breeze [29] or go right to the source and check out some of J.J. Cale's own recordings in our catalog [30].

Fans of Norah Jones (Ravi Shankar's daughter) should not be surprised that her new band (well, technically not new, they've been playing in clubs for several years but this is their first album together) continues her adventures into country music. Unlike her covers of Every Brothers tunes (her last album, with Green Day's Bille Joe Armstrong), this is a mix of covers and originals, performed by Jones, Sasha Dobson, and Catherine Popper. They clearly have a great time playing together (to which I can personally attest, having seen them perform just last Saturday at the Green River Music and Baloon Festival). I particularly like their cover of Neil Young's Down by the River. This is available to listen to right now with our streaming music partnership with hoopla. Listen Now [33]

I'll admit that I was drawn to this CD mainly for the vintage photograph on the cover, but it turned out to be exactly what I've been searching for: a children's album that my baby likes, with songs that I'm actually happy to get stuck in my head. Formerly of the indie band "Ida," Elizabeth Mitchell transitioned into solo children's music in the late 1990s and has been perfecting it ever since. Mitchell does some beautiful covers of Woody Guthrie and Elizabeth Cotten, and manages to make folk songs soothing, but fun and upbeat at the same time. Throw in a rendition of "Jingle Bells" (hey, who doesn't love a little Christmas music in July?) and you've got a hit. If you like this album, check out Mitchell's website [36] for her other work.

My love affair with Fountains of Wayne began two weeks ago when I heard the song "Acela". When my old supervisor used to tell me that I would love Fountains of Wayne I didn't scoff, but I didn't pursue it either. I'd heard "Stacy's Mom". "Acela" is one of many catchy songs on "Sky Full of Holes", their 2011 release. Others include "Cemetery Guns", "Richie and Ruben", "Hate to See You Like This", and my favorite,"Cold Comfort Flowers". As the titles suggest, these are not all light and fun, but they are about something and have lots of nice musical touches, like the snare drum rolls in "Cemetery Guns" and entertaining lyrics that keep you interested in whatever story they're telling. This band is thoughtful and funny. I like it. I encourage you to check out their other titles too. Check Our Catalog [47] or use our streaming service to listen now to Utopia Parkway (1990) [48] and Fountains of Wayne (1996) [49].

At once timeless and brand new, this beautiful album invokes my favorite Pink Floyd (circa Dark Side of the Moon) and Neil Young (Down By the River), while being true to its own sensibilities. As is to be expected with The Black Keys, the drumming is stellar - spot on, crisp, and not overwrought at all. There's a great NPR interview [52] with Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach (the core of The Black Keys) that sheds light on how they pulled together the "gently strummed acoustic guitars. Lovely falsetto vocals. Tinkling bells and dreamy atmospherics" that bring new flavors, while staying grounded in the swagger, thumping bass lines, and rumbling beats we expect. Perhaps it has something to do with their continued collaboration with Brian Burton a.k.a. Danger Mouse (famous for his own work including Broken Bells and Gnarls Barkley, as well as producing Beck, Gorillaz and Norah Jones). Listen NOW [53]. Check our catalog [54].

So much more than the house band for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon [57]. The Roots have won Four Grammys (and been nominated for 12). This is their newest album, just released yesterday, May 19, 2014. Less than half the length of any of their previous studio albums, it contains an amazing diversity of voices and will reward repeated listenings. Like the art that graces the jacket, this album is a collage of guest artists, borrowed sounds, and the band's amazing original contributions. Conceptually, it is an examination of the self-destructive forces of materialism and modern living. Available to listen to now [58].

Released May 12, this is the first collection of original material from Tori since 2011's Night of the Hunters (not an album that caught my ear). Tori is now 50, looking back and bringing the mix of comfort and pain that is her calling card. What's super exciting is we have this album [61] and Tori's entire catalog [62] available to listen to right NOW with our new streaming service, through our partnership with hoopla [63]. This is her 14th studio album and a return to the unique brand of singer songwriter style that catapulted her to stardom over two decades ago.
During her career Tori Amos has sold over 12 million albums worldwide.

With a mix of Portuguese and English lyrics, Ana Moura's album "Desfado" puts a spin on traditional fado (see below), creating songs that have a jazzy, folk feel. Moura also covers Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" with a sweet, melodic voice that will instantly win you over. Check Our Catalog [67] or simply Listen Now [68]!

One of the reasons Beck is beloved by critics is that he doesn't just put out warmed over versions of his "sound;" although, his music is certainly identifiable. Morning Phase is recognizably Beck, but the more atmospheric, reflective Beck. Almost every one of his albums has had a song on it that I've loved instantly and forever and this album is no exception. In this case that song is "Heart is a Drum." That's not to say that there is only one good song, there are many: "Say Goodbye", "Blue Moon", "Morning" and "Blackbird Chain" among the best. Throughout there is an overriding melancholy to the lovely instrumental arrangements and if there is one quibble, it is that the lyrics are opaque at best. But overall it is a lovely work that really grows on you after a few listens. Check our catalog [71] or Listen Now [72].

Remember Luka? Suzanne Vega has just released her first album of original material in seven years (her 8th album for those of you counting). These ten new tracks instantly sound familiar and comfortable, like reuniting with an old friend. I hadn't realized I missed her, but her voice takes me back and the simple guitar work is the perfect accompanment (this is not the Tom's Diner remix!) Ms. Vega has great industry connections. She started her own label in 2010 and this album was mixed by Kevin Killen (who has worked with Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush). The recently recorded clip below (from NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts [75] - check them out if you've never heard of them!) uses her classics as bookends for the new material. Check our catalog. [76]

Retro r&b belter Sharon Jones remains in fine form on her latest album of funky, soulful, horn-punctuated songs, backed up by the fabulous Dap-Kings. Whether or not you remember the heyday of 60s r&b and soul music, you'll be hard put not to love this stuff. Exciting and ecstatically fun to sing along with, dance to, drive to, or just listen to!

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — St. Louis scored more runs than the Los Angeles Angels had allowed in their previous six games combined, and the Cardinals' table-setters were responsible for driving in half of them.
Jay's HR, 3 RBIs lead Cardinals past Angels 12-2
Jon Jay had three RBIs, including a two-run homer off center fielder Mike Trout's glove during St. Louis' seven-run second inning, and the Cardinals ended Los Angeles' seven-game winning streak with a 12-2 rout on Wednesday night.
Matt Carpenter, batting leadoff in front of Jay, also homered and drove in three runs to help keep the Cardinals two games behind Pittsburgh in the NL Central.
"Matt Carpenter sets the tone for us, and he had a terrific game," manager Mike Matheny said. "He put together good at-bats and he doesn't give any away. It was also nice to see John Jay have some real nice at-bats. We need to get him going, and today was a real good indicator that he's on the right path. He's been making some adjustments that are allowing him to have good at-bats, and it worked out for him today."
Shelby Miller (9-6) struck out six over six innings and allowed five hits, including a two-run homer by Hank Conger in the second. The right-hander was coming off back-to-back losses against two other AL West clubs, including a 6-1 defeat last Friday at Oakland in which he lasted only 1 2-3 innings and gave up five runs.
"I wouldn't say I was any fresher tonight. I mean, I threw 51 pitches in the second inning at Oakland and that's going to wear your arm down more so than going eight innings and throwing 100 pitches," Miller said. "But I felt strong, so I basically wanted to try to go deep in the ballgame. My pitch (count) rose up again, but I got some big plays behind me.
"The biggest thing was just trying to get the ball down and hit the corners," Miller added. "I felt like I was on the corners — not the whole game, but more so than I had been. My fastball command was better and I felt like my curve ball was sharper. I just made that one mistake to Conger where I did that slide-step and tried to fool him with the curve, but I just hung it and left it right over the middle of the plate."
Jerome Williams (5-4) was charged with seven runs, four hits and four walks in just 1 2-3 innings. The right-hander had not given up more than three bases on balls in any of his previous 17 starts.
"After winning that many in a row, you almost always think you're due for a butt-kicking," Angels right fielder Josh Hamilton said. "You'd rather lose one like this than a really close one, but you've got to put it behind you."
