Wondering why the picture you just took of your lunch and promptly Instagram'd isn't displaying properly on you Twitter feed? Well, according to The New York Times it isn't just a glitch. Instagram - and by extension, Facebook - disabled the ability for photos to display properly on the Twitter site and applications.
But what does "properly" mean? Well, apparently Instagram has pulled it integation with Twitter cards, and now Instagram photos are displaying a "pre-card experience." And according to The Times:
"Kevin Systrom, Instagram's chief executive, confirmed that the company has removed the ability to send pictures to Twitter, and plans to completely cut off embedding pictures on the Twitter Web site."
What precipitated this move? Twitter is said to be planning to introduce filters for its own mobile photo apps.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited ("Longwei" or the "Company") (NYSE: LPH).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO)
The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) a material related party investment in a tourism business involving CEO Cai had taken place; (2) CEO Cai was a minority owner of Longwei's subsidiaries; and (3) Longwei's wholesale fuel sales have been vastly exaggerated.
On January 3, 2013, securities research blog Geoinvesting.com published a report revealing serious discrepancies between what Longwei had described as its business condition and the actual facts on the ground. Geoinvesting's public disclosure of fraud at Longwei caused Longwei's stock to fall more than 70% on January 3, 2013. Since the announcement, trading in Longwei stock has been halted.

Anglers, Bass Win in California Delta Water War
An in-state attempt to wage war on black bass and stripers in the California (Sacramento-San Joaquin) Delta has been repelled --- at least for now.
Led by agricultural groups, a coalition was calling on the California Fish and Wildlife Commission to changes in size and bag limits for these non-native species that have been established for more than a century.
Translation: They wanted all limits removed on one of the world's best bass fisheries.
Why? Native salmon and other fish are suffering because of drought and growing demand for a limited water supply. But because bass are predators and high-profile, they're easy to blame for the decline of native species.
The same thing has happened in the Northwest, where both Oregon and Washington wildlife agencies have made management decisions based on politics and science. Up there, size and bag limits have been removed on the Columbia and other rivers. The feds are involved too, and on the wrong side, of course. Check out War on Bass Is Spreading.
But in California, the petition to wage war on bass was withdrawn by the petitioners before its scheduled review by the Commission. It had been vehemently and vocally opposed by B.A.S.S., California Sportfishing League, and other groups.
"Our coalition had science on our side and we were able to show the Fish and Wildlife Commission that all fish need water and this was simply a water grab that sought to make striped bass and largemouth and smallmouth bass the scapegoats for the status of salmon stocks, said Scott Gudes, vice president of Government Affairs for the American Sportfishing Association (ASA).
Representing millions of sportsmen and women nationwide, including tens of thousands in California, the coalition engaged supporters who sent a clear message to the Commission that this was a water issue, not a fish issue.
"This is a real victory for anglers. But we need to be vigilant. No doubt the agricultural industry that pushed this proposal will be back. Anglers need to stay unified," added Gudes.
These are the groups that targeted bass:
The Coalition for Sustainable Delta, California Chamber of Commerce, California Farm Bureau Federation, Kern County Water Agency, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Northern California Water Association, San Joaquin Tributaries Authority, Southern California Water Committee, State Water Contractors and Western Growers were the petitioners.
These are the groups that spoke up for bass and anglers:
American Sportfishing Association, B.A.S.S., California Sportfishing League, Coastal Conservation Association California, Coastside Fishing Club, Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, Fishing League Worldwide, the National Marine Manufacturers Association and Water4Fish.
Tropical Fish in South Dakota Highlight Danger Posed by Exotic Species
Imagine buying 3-inch fish for an aquarium, with no idea that they have the potential to reach the size in the photo above. That happens time after time all over the U.S. when hobbyists buy pacu, which resemble their smaller piranha cousins. They have impressive dentures of their own, but their teeth are flatter and used mostly for cracking nuts and seeds.
And every summer, the consequences of those purchases play out, as anglers report catching pacu released into public waters by irresponsible aquarium owners. For example, this year, two were caught in Michigan's Lake St. Clair and another in the Port Huron area.
Standard response from both anglers and the public in general when this happens is "Well, they wouldn't have survived the winter anyway." In most cases, this is true.
But not always, as I reveal below in a story that I first wrote for B.A.S.S. Times and Activist Angler three years ago.
And one of these days, pacu or piranha, maybe both, just might find welcoming waters where they too can survive in a climate far too cold for them under normal conditions. Those areas might be springs or perhaps warm-water discharges from power plants.
* * * *
What resource managers long have feared would happen because of irresponsible fish hobbyists has become reality: An exotic species has established itself in a waterway far north of where it should be able to survive.
Earlier this summer, biologists confirmed that the Jack Dempsey, a South American cichlid related to the peacock bass, is reproducing in South Dakota's Fall River.
How it that possible?
"The hot springs in the river makes it perfect for cichlids," said Mike Smith, aquatic nuisance species coordinator for South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks. "We first found a Jack Dempsey there in 2009. Then, two weeks ago, we found multiple-year classes.
"And there's no way that the fish could have gotten there except aquarium release."
Water nearest the springs stays at about 70 degrees year around, which allows the exotic fish to survive brutal South Dakota winters.
In this case, the Jack Dempsey's impact on native species likely will be minimal. Few other predators live in the shallow water, and forage species gobbled up by the aggressive cichlid can be replenished from populations outside the range of the hot spring's influence.
But the discovery is significant because it confirms that exotics can use thermal refuges provided by springs or warm-water releases from power plants to survive in cold climates.
Could the piranha be the next exotic fish to become established? Or its much larger cousin, the pacu? Every summer, media across the country report catches of both fish in ponds, lakes, and reservoirs. For example, a pacu was caught in Illinois' Lake Lou Yaeger in June. And at Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks, piranha captures have been reported several times since 2007.
Fish hobbyists also have contributed to troublesome infestations of plants such as Brazilian elodea, parrot feather, yellow floating heart, and even hydrilla.
"At a lot of our lakes, people just dump their aquariums to get rid of whatever they don't want anymore," said Tim Banek, invasive species coordinator for the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Bill Frazier, conservation director for the North Carolina B.A.S.S. Federation Nation, also has seen evidence of aquarium dumping while serving as monitor of water quality for the city of High Point. He thinks the time is long past for directing blame primarily at anglers, especially bass fishermen.
Much of the problem, he insists, lies squarely with aquarium hobbyists and the pet industry that supplies them, as well as with nurseries that sell exotic aquatic plants.
"I haven't seen a single trace of any invasive (plant) at the ramps, transferred by boat in 28 years," he said.
"I know the overall perception is that weeds can be spread by anyone with a watercraft. I am not denying this pathway," Frazier continued. "I just do not believe it as significant as everyone would have you believe."
The North Carolina water expert has found parrot feather upstream of a submerged roadbed, where boats can't go. He has discovered water hyacinth just downstream from a farmer's market that featured the exotic in a water fountain. And he has seen a discarded aquarium underneath a parrot feather infestation, where the shoreline borders a large apartment complex.
"Some time later, a bank fisherman caught a skillet-sized pacu there," he added.
And while anglers and the fishing industry pay license fees and excise taxes to finance management of aquatic resources degraded by aquatic invaders, these special interests are allowed to escape responsibility for the damage they do.
"This is what we need to be attacking and taxing," he said.
Legendary Fish
I caught this medium-sized peacock bass on Venezuela's Lake Guri a few years back. That same day, I battled a giant that I write about in the essay "Legendary Fish" in Why We Fish. Here's an excerpt:
A frayed piece of leader owns a place of honor at my desk. It was left to me by a "legendary fish."
That's my own term so I'm not surprised if you haven't heard it before. For me, "legendary fish" is one rung up the ladder from "big," "trophy," and even "fish of a lifetime."
Grass Carp Invasion Also Threatens Great Lakes Fisheries
Most don't know one carp from another. All are exotic.The photo above is a 30-pound-plus grass carp illegally stocked in a small lake.
Common carp have been in this country for so long (more than a century) that many think they are native. They are not. They were imported by the federal government. Rooting around on the bottom, they have destroyed and degraded many fisheries.
Fish farms in the South and Mid-South imported Asian carp (bighead and silver), and they escaped into rivers, spreading throughout much of the country. Through filter feeding, they gobble up forage needed by many native species, including juvenile sport species.
Grass carp were imported to eat problematic aquatic plants, including hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil, also exotic species. Often they were overstocked. Sometimes. they were stocked where they were not needed. Often they were stocked illegally. And they too have escaped and spread.
To add to the confusion, Canadian media and fisheries officials frequently refer to grass carp as Asian carp.
* * * *
Although silver and bighead are the Asian carp of most concern these days for the Great Lakes and its tributaries, disturbing discoveries have been made lately regarding a third--- the grass carp.
First, a graduate student at the University of Toledo found eggs in the Sandusky River, which flows into Lake Erie. That confirms the existence of a reproducing population of this fast-growing species, which doesn't compete with native fish, but does obliterate beneficial aquatic vegetation.
Additionally, Canadian commercial fishermen recently netted a grass carp weighing more than 60 pounds from the St. Lawrence River, far above Lake Ontario.
Anthony Ricciardi, a biology professor at McGill University, doesn't think that the river has a reproducing population, but suspects that others are in the St. Lawrence as well.
"We actually thought the Asian carp was confined," added Quebec biologist Michel Legault. "But we know that in recent years the grass carp has been found in a small section of Lake Erie. And last summer, nine grass carp were caught in the Toronto area. This is not good news."
On the Sandusky, meanwhile Toledo researchers intend to learn more about the grass carp spawning there, in hopes of finding a way to minimize it.
"Given the similarities in reproductive strategies, this ongoing research on grass carp spawning may help us minimize the risk of bighead carp and silver carp from establishing a foothold in the Great Lakes, said Patrick Kocovsky, a fisheries biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. "What we learn here also might apply to potential control strategies in tributaries to the Mississippi River.
Today, most grass carp used to control invasive aquatic plants are triploid, meaning they can't reproduce. But fertile grass carp are believed to have first escaped from an aquaculture facility in Arkansas back in the 1960s. They since have migrated throughout the Mississippi River drainage, as well as spread through authorized, illegal, and accidental introductions to 45 of the 50 states.

Inventing What's Next in Biometric Sensor Systems for Wearable Technology
Quite simply the most accurate biometric sensors for wearable technology available today.
- Proven innovation with dozens of foundational patents granted and 70+ patents pending
- Continuously measures heart rate, VO2, energy expenditure, cadence and R-R interval, and much more
- Active Signal Characterization technology enables highly accurate biometrics in wearable devices even during vigorous activity
- Sensor tech integrates seamlessly into any wearable device
- Perfect for use in sports/fitness, personal health, military/first responder, and gaming use cases
Scalable to multiple form-factors such as earbuds, smartwatches, armbands and wrist devices.
Valencell's technology can be used in wearables and hearables for virtually anyone, anywhere, doing anything.
PerformTek® biometric sensor technology is the only continuous heart rate monitoring technology proven accurate during virtually any exercise and in virtually any environment. Read more about our testing methods here.
We've been innovating in optical biometric technology for 10 years, before wearables even existed. Our levels of accuracy are proven by independent scientific validation and by users of Valencell-powered products every day.
Optical Heart Rate Sensor Design
Our sensor technology gives wearable devices the ability to continuously and accurately measure weak blood flow signals even during extreme physical activity. PerformTek achieves this with a state-of-the-art, ultra-miniaturized optomechanical sensor module small enough to fit within an audio earbud, smartwatch, or other wearable device. The sensor module includes an optical emitter, an optical detector, specialized optomechanics and an accelerometer.
How it Works
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is not new. It's been used for decades to measure blood flow changes and translate these changes to pulse rate. Until now, products using PPG have been too large and uncomfortable for consumer use and have not been effective at measuring blood flow during exercise or outdoors. Our patented PerformTek biometric technology has solved many of these problems.
Like the traditional PPG approach, PerformTek sensor technology measures weak blood flow signals by shining light at the skin with an optical emitter and sensing the scattered light with a photodetector. The key difference is that the PerformTek signal extraction method takes it a step further, employing active signal characterization, which actively removes noise signals associated with motion artifacts (such as skin motion and footsteps) and environmental exposure (such as sunlight) from the photodetector signal using a method invented and patented by Valencell's R&D team.
API for Apps
Valencell's accurate biometric signal extraction method is coded in firmware on a digital signal processing chip (DSP chip). Application developers can communicate with this DSP chip through the PerformTek API, which allows app developers to access this data and make virtually any health or fitness application their minds can dream up.
To learn more about integrating our technology into your ideas, see our Access page.
Whole > Sum of the parts
Many people think you can achieve accurate biometric wearables by piecing together some LED's, some firmware, some algorithms, and calling it a heart rate monitor. It's not that simple.
Valencell has learned over many years of R&D, trial & error, and product development that the systems approach is most effective. Everything must be designed and developed to work together from the start – the optomechnanics, the firmware, the algorithms, and the testing & validation processes.
- You can have the best optomechanics in the world, but if your algorithms are not optimized for that signal, it won't work.
- Likewise, you can have the best algorithms in the world, but if you have a poor signal coming from the sensor, it won't work.
- Finally, even if you get the hardware and the software working together, you have to test and validate that it works on people of all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and fitness levels.

BANGALORE, India, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobilitas Technologies, a young startup based in Bangalore (INDIA) announced the debut of their new Mobile + Cloud solution for healthcare – HeMoClo, at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona. Designed specifically for Doctors, it allows seamless connection across various stakeholders such as doctors, nurses, lab technicians, pharmacists and patients and provides anytime – anywhere access to patient data.
"Mobilitas is rooted in the belief that a "Mobile First" strategy and focus on Design are absolutely important for creating disruptive innovations and pleasant experiences. HeMoClo is our first transformational product to solve real world problems affecting billions of lives with intelligent use of Mobility," said Sudhanshu Pant, Founder and CEO.
HeMoClo has been designed keeping in view the needs of a diverse user population. The user interface, inspired by real world objects, allows advanced drawing and gesture recognition. Apart from providing an integrated lifecycle of patient care, the solution allows specialized healthcare to reach out to remote areas, connect with low cost monitoring devices and transmit real-time data for immediate consultation. Designed as an enterprise level Product-As-A-Service solution, the Cloud + Mobile architecture allows Secure, Scalable and Fail proof access to medical records.
"It is an extremely proud moment for the team to be releasing the first version of this transformational product after an year of focused effort spanning architecture, UX, engineering and QA" added Srikanth Gopalan, Co-Founder and COO.
In most of the emerging economies a low doctor-patient-ratio, shortage of support staff, and a many-fold increase in mobile phone users in the last three (3) years will prove to be positive triggers rather than constraints for mobile health adoption. "From the inflection point where we stand today, one can see the emergence of transformational mobile healthcare, specifically in areas of electronic and personal health records, data analytics for big data, decision support, consumer and medical apps, telemedicine, sensor integration, and virtual presence" said Sateesh Kavuri, Co-founder and CTO.
Future roadmap for HeMoClo will target Specialty modules, Enterprise Connectors for Pharmacies & Pathology Labs, Integrated Telemedicine, Medical Devices Integration, Secure Social Network and real time data analytics for doctors, researchers, health agencies, and resource suppliers.
Mobilitas (Latin for "Mobility"), was founded by veterans from Nokia, Intel, Broadcom, Capgemini with 100+ year global experience delivering world-class Products and Solutions and the enthusiasm and wisdom to Create, Nurture, Scale and Transform ideas into reality.
Cloud computing is being adopted in one form or another by 94% of enterprises today. Tens of billions of new devices are being connected to The Internet of Things. And Big Data is driving this bus.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Children who've grown up with individualized learning on their electronic devices will not accept the traditional classroom
"When I began teaching as a librarian in Harlem in the 1990s, my district was embarking on what was then considered an innovative program: putting a pod of four computers in every classroom. I still recall cringing as I heard some teachers say to students, "If you finish your work early, you can go 'play' on the computer." Back then, failing to recognize these devices' powerful learning potential was all too common."
Technology in Education and How Digital Learning is Revolutionizing the Classroom - TREND HUNTER PRO
Technology in Education and How Digital Learning is Revolutionizing the Classroom - - TREND HUNTER PRO (No longer in the 'Dark Ages', digital trends now shape curriculum & changing role of teachers.
What you say and write matters, but how you say it, how you relate and genuinely connect with people, is what separates great leaders from the pack. Become an emotional storyteller. It's often said that people don't remember facts; they remember stories. That's not entirely true. It's actually personal stories told with genuine feeling that have the potential to reach deep and connect with people in the soul of their being. If a personal story and the emotion behind it relates to people in a personal way, it will stick with them and motivate them to action.
"Whether you're interesting in blending, flipping, personalizing, or differentiating your classroom, technology can be a huge help. Technology gives students direct access to content, which frees the teacher up for other roles iPads function exceptionally well in this capacity, and one of their talents is to function as a digital whiteboard. Whether you want to lead an in-person class through the iPad screen, or you need remote access to eLearners or others in a school-to-school program, you've got options. Below are 8 apps (with various strengths and weaknesses–the only way to know if they truly fit your needs is to try them, unfortunately) that can help you blend and flip your classroom–or just give students more direct access to you, one another, and the content."
Do you always avoid alliteration? Do you know what prepositions end sentences with? These writing tips are must-see for everyone. Seriously.
"Throughout the last few years I've compiled quite a few lists of my favorite sites for a variety of subjects. Over the last year and a half one might have noticed that my lists have started to change and instead of focusing on sites I've been focusing more on apps as "mobile learning" has really taken off.

A Wonderful Wheel featuring iPad Apps for Autistic Students ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning
"I must admit that apps for autistic learners are really scarce and hard to find. A few months ago I posted here a list some powerful apps for autism and today while I was looking for new apps that might have been created since the publication of that list I came across this wonderful wheel. I know that the first thing that comes to mind when you see this wheel is the popular pedagogy Wheel created by Allan Carrington in which he provided suggestions for 62 apps based on Bloom's Taxonomy. The present wheel is developed by Mark Coppin in which he featured a wide variety of apps for autistic students."
Mobile apps & websites for teaching 4th grade elementary school students, such as Socrative, instaGrok, Educreations, Wordle, Wikispaces, Quizlet, etc.
"We know teachers can find it hard to make time to plan their lessons, or to manage their classes both in and out of the classroom, so Shaun Wilden has compiled a list of his top 10 free apps to help make your planning more productive and time-efficient. You may also find some of our apps for learning English useful."
IT leaders describe their top 5 pain points in managing iPads and other tablets--and how they are addressing the challenges.

" It's that time of year. When we say goodbye to four years of hard work and newfound friends and forge ahead to "make something of ourselves." But how can you be expected to make it in the "real world" without a solid collection of apps for this new season of life? That's why I've put together a list of the top 10 iPad apps recent graduates need. This list covers everything from finding a job to getting a new apartment to dropping the freshman 15 (that hung on long past freshman year). So let's get started!"

UPDATE @ 2:01 p.m. (March 3):
A long line of mourners wrapped around the Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church building on Thursday as people gathered to pay their last respects to a local pastor who was shot and killed inside his church.
Rev. William B. Schooler, 70, was shot multiple times inside St. Peter's Missionary Church on Sunday. His brother Daniel G. Schooler, 68, is facing multiple charges in connection with the pastor's murder.
On Thursday, Gale McLemore said she knew a large amount of people would attend the service for Schooler. The pastor's reach went beyond the pulpit and extended into the community, she said.
"It's very difficult and there's really no words to express what's in our hearts today," she said. "I think he meant a lot to the people in the city. The lives he touched. The children's lives he touched as an educator. The efforts he put into the community."
William Schooler was known as a leader within the Dayton community. After graduating from Dunbar High School in 1963, he went on to become a decorated Vietnam Veteran who received the Bronze Star.
William Schooler taught in the Dayton Public Schools district from 1972 until 1978 before becoming a principal in the Jefferson Twp. from 1978 until 1997, when he retired. He was also a was also a former Dayton Board of Education member.
William Schooler had integrity, said Derrick Atterberry, a Dayton resident who came to the funeral to pay his respects.
"He was about people," Atterberry said. "He showed love, and I think this is their way of showing love back to him."
UPDATE @ 10:54 a.m. (March 3):
A line formed outside of Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church on West Third Street prior to Rev. William Schooler's funeral service Thursday morning. People visiting the church for the funeral services said the church is full.
UPDATE @ 2:05 p.m. (March 2):
Daniel Schooler was arraigned on two counts of murder, one count of aggravated murder, two counts of felonious assault and two counts of having weapons under disability in Dayton Municipal Court this afternoon.
Schooler pleaded not guilty to the charges and he is continuing to be held in the Montgomery County Jail with a $1 million bond.
Preliminary hearing is set for March 9.
UPDATE @ 11:17 a.m. (March 2):
Daniel Schooler shot his brother four times with a stolen .380 caliber handgun, the final shot being witnessed by William Schooler's wife, according to court documents filed by Dayton police.
"The defendant then laid the gun down and waited for police who took him into custody," said the affidavit written by a Dayton police detective.
The affidavit said Daniel Schooler confronted his brother at 12:22 p.m. Feb. 28 "and with prior calculation and design, carried out previous threats to kill the victim," detective Nathan Via wrote. The document also noted that the defendant had two prior convictions for felonious assault, is under a weapons disability and is a repeat violent offender.
Daniel Schooler is scheduled to be arraigned today in Dayton Municipal Court on several counts including murder.
UPDATE @ 3:28 p.m. (March 1):
Funeral services for the Rev. William B. Schooler have been scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church, 1900 W. Third St., Dayton.
UPDATE @ 1:18 p.m.:
Daniel Schooler, 68, has been charged with three counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and two counts of using weapons under disability, according to a Dayton Municipal Court clerk.
The charges were filed around 1 p.m. Tuesday.
The clerk said while the charges were filed, Schooler is not expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
Prosecutor's said the case will be presented to a grand jury at a future date.
"This is a tragic and senseless shooting. We extend our condolences to not only the family of the victim, but also to the congregation of St. Peter's Missionary Baptist Church," said Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr..
The Rev. William Schooler, 70, was gunned down just before 12:30 p.m. in his office in back of his church while the choir was singing at the end of Sunday services.
The congregation heard the shots that claimed their beloved pastor, community leader and former Dayton Board of Education member in their Nancy Avenue church.
"I just got everybody out of the church and we just kept hearing shooting and shooting," said Alberta Blayth of Dayton. The church member said she saw the accused shooter, the pastor's 68-year-old brother Daniel Schooler, head for the office while the pastor's wife and the pastor were inside.
A church member called 911 when the shooting began: "Our pastor just got shot by his brother! … He's still shooting him!" Dispatch: "Where is the shooter at?" Caller: "In the church. In the back, with his brother and his wife."
Before the shooting, the service was turned over to Curtis Booker, the choir director, who said he saw Daniel Schooler get up and follow his brother to the back.
"Then I heard the first pop and I thought he fell because there's a little step right there. Then I heard a second pop. And I was like, that sounds like gunshots," Booker said.
"We heard pow, pow," church member Beulah Booker-Robertson said, recounting the shooting. "The usher at the door said 'everybody get down, everybody get out.' "
Dayton police said Schooler was shot multiple times, but that the congregation and community at large were not targeted and there were no other intended victims.
"I want to make sure the public understands this is not a random act of violence," Sgt. Creigee Coleman said. "This was somewhat of a domestic situation between family members."
Daniel Schooler was taken into custody at the church. He was led in handcuffs to a waiting police cruiser and is now behind bars at the Montgomery County Jail, where he was booked on suspicion of murder. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon, online jail records show.
The shooting remains under investigation, and police and prosecutors plan to meet to discuss formal charges.
A Schooler family member said Daniel Schooler struggled with mental illness. "Bipolar, schizophrenic. He had a lot of things going on he was dealing with," said Joyce Napier, niece of the pastor and suspect. "I don't think he woke up this morning and said 'I want to kill my brother.' I just think the mental state and illness goes together and that's what evil does."
The Schooler family is in pain, Napier said, but will grieve together.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: UPDATE @ 10:12 p.m.: According to a Darke County sheriff's sergeant, Matthew Blackburn was captured in Wayne County — not the Great Darke County Fair as previously reported.
The arrest did occur today, said the sergeant, who noted that he doesn't know why the Darke County Crime Stoppers page announced, on the sheriff's Facebook page, that Blackburn had been arrested at the fair.
We tried to contact officials with Darke County Crime Stoppers tonight, but without success.
One of Darke County's most wanted is in jail tonight after sheriff's deputies arrested him at the Great Darke County Fair this week.
Matthew Blackburn, 20, has been wanted since a county grand jury indicted him in October 2015 on two counts of felony drug trafficking in LSD, according to an announcement by Darke County Crime Stoppers posted tonight.
The indictment follows a bench warrant issued in August 2015 out of county Municipal Court when Blackburn failed to appear on a misdemeanor charge of underage consumption (alcohol).
His last known address was in Greenville.

A Fairborn man was killed in a crash that closed eastbound I-70 for nearly six hours after troopers said he crashed while they were trying to pull him over.
The fatal crash victim has been identified as 20-year-old Shane English of Fairborn. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash at Ohio 201 that shut down I-70.
Prior to the crash, a state trooper on the shoulder of I-70 at the 35 mile post noticed two vehicles traveling more than 100 mph, said Lt. Mark Nichols of the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Dayton Post. As the vehicle passed the trooper, he attempted to catch up with them. One vehicle slowed down and went right.
The second vehicle, driven by English, accelerated to a speed of about 115 mph, exited on the right side to Ohio 201, drove through a red light at the Ohio 201 intersection, into the grass, went airborne for a short distance and struck a utility pole around 2:20 p.m., Nichols said. The Malibu then caught fire.
The pole the vehicle struck is a major support utility pole that supports many power lines, which were brought down on the highway. The highway was closed as DP&L worked to repair the damaged pole.
There was no one else in the vehicle and no one on the ground was injured, he said.
"Very serious, and very tragic for a traffic violation," Nichols said. "It was a red light when he came through, so obviously somebody was looking down and trying to protect some people, but ultimately a bad decision for a traffic violation led to this."

The man who poured boiling water on a same-sex couple because he didn't approve of the relationship was sentenced to 40 years in prison Wednesday afternoon.
Martin Blackwell, 48, was found guilty on all 10 counts, including aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
The jury deliberated about 90 minutes Wednesday afternoon before announcing the verdict.
In closing arguments, Blackwell's attorney argued he wasn't being hateful or malicious when he poured boiling water on a same-sex couple as they slept.
"It's one act," attorney Monique Walker told the jury. "It caused injury. It was distasteful, it was disrespectful. But it was not deadly. It was not intentional."
The prosecutor painted a starkly different picture. Blackwell did intend to hurt Anthony Gooden and Marquez Tolbert, and was methodical and malicious, assistant district attorney Fani Willis told the jury.
On Feb. 12, Blackwell heated water in a pot until it boiled and poured it on Gooden and Tolbert, causing severe burns to both men, police said. Prosecutors contend the attack was premeditated.

"You don't have the right to hurt because you don't like how they live their life," Fani Willis, assistant district attorney, told the jurors.
Blackwell's case was sent to the jury early afternoon.
Instead of numerous felonies with which he is charged, Blackwell should be convicted only of battery, Walker told the jurors.
"It was reckless, it was revolting. It was repugnant," she said. "But it's not 10 counts in an indictment. It's not bringing in the kitchen sink."
It was literally under a kitchen sink where Blackwell searched for the largest pot and filled it with water, Willis said. The scalding water required both men undergo skin graft surgeries, prosecutors said. Gooden spent nearly a month in the hospital, including two weeks in a medically induced coma, and Tolbert spent 10 days in the hospital.
"It is a felony. And it's a felonious act," Willis said. "And he earned every count in the indictment"

To toke or not to toke; that has become the question across the United States as attitudes about marijuana use continue to shift and cities and states determine whether to decriminalize the drug.
Memphis on Tuesday became the latest American city to take the first step toward decriminalizing marijuana, even as the federal government earlier this month opted to keep pot listed as a Schedule I drug – lumped in with dangerous and potentially deadly drugs like heroin, ecstasy and LSD. Meanwhile, support for legalizing the drug is at an all-time high, according to a study conducted in March by the Chicago-based Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research that found that 61 percent of those U.S. residents surveyed were in favor of making pot legal.
