Man allegedly kills two family members in Wall, as sheriff, victim's friend weigh in on tragedy
WALL, Texas - A $500,000 bond has been set for the father of two who allegedly shot and killed his estranged wife and her brother.
Brian Berry, 40, allegedly took the lives of his estranged wife, Keri Berry, 36, and her brother Brandon Block, 31. He also allegedly shot and critically injured Block's 26-year-old wife, Susan, who is currently in a San Angelo hospital.
According to a criminal complaint filed with a Tom Green County justice of the peace, the shootings occurred at 7701 FM 1223 in Wall near San Angelo. Susan was able to call 911 and describe what happened.
Tom Green County Sheriff David Jones said investigators learned Keri was living at the home and was in the process of getting a divorce. After the shooting, Brian allegedly took his 7-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son with him when he fled.
They were located inside the tan 2011 Dodge Ram described in the Amber Alert just after 11 p.m. Sunday in Andrews County.
Jones said Brian was arrested without incident and the children are OK and have been reunited with their maternal grandparents.
Jones said before this incident, his department has never had to respond to a family violence case involving Berry and the killings came as a shock.
"I've had a 40-year career in law enforcement and this is one of the ones that will stand out it was a tragedy that happened," Jones said. "We see a lot of domestic abuse in our department and answer numerous calls almost every day. This one tragically ended in murder. So we try our best to find solutions to these things prior to escalating to this amount, but in this case, we had no prior knowledge of any problems."
A webpage has been set up to raise funds for the Block family.
"I don't understand how anyone could do this and just literally tear apart little childrens' lives—people's lives--with so many families involved, nothing is worth that," James Bearden, who was friends with Brandon for 12 years, said.
"He was like a second son to us and Brandon was such a super guy," Block said. "I know you hear that all the time but he really was. He was a gentle giant, he was a big fellow but he'd give you the shirt off of his back. He was a peace keeper. We just love Brandon to death & we just had to come out here and see where he was last alive."
Berry was transported from Andrews County to the Tom Green County Jail Monday. At this time, he is charged with Brandon's murder and faces a $500,000 bond. Jones said he anticipates additional or upgraded charges could be filed.

Sourdough Bread: Notes For Beginners
I have spent the last couple of months experimenting baking Sourdough bread. This morning I realized I made a big mistake. I haven't been keeping notes (except for in my head). Anyone conducting any kind of experiment knows what a big mistake that is, so I'm coming here to correct it.
First, where to get starter? I found several places on the internet to get some both free and for a fee. Knowing nothing I kind of closed my eyes and picked Breadtopia. I am a visual learner so I appreciate the videos there and the folks seem nice. Eric hand wrote a nice note and included some instruction to get started.
As far as recipes, there again are thousands on the web. I have not yet tried Breadtopias "no knead" as I do not own a clay baker, but it gets great reviews.
I did try other recopies on that site, but had poor luck. It could have been my beginner status though so don't be afraid to try them. I have since gravitated to the Exploratorium for bread and I love the Yankee Grocery waffle recipe.
As with any job I find that the tools are important. I have resisted running out and buying things since I have history doing that and later dropping a hobby and retaining the "stuff". I did end up getting a pizza stone though and it made a huge difference in the quality of my bread. My oven is a terrible old electric that I lack confidence in. I find it helps regulate the heat for all my cooking now so I leave it in there all the time now. The other thing is use a razor for scoring the loaves prior to baking. A knife just isn't going to do the job, no matter how sharp it is. It doesn't have to be anything fancy.
Your starter should have come with instructions and if it didn't that is easy to google. I am not so much interested in reinventing or reiterating information already out there, but to share my own experiences both successes and failures during the process. Baking bread is fun, easy and not really all that time consuming. Most of the time spent is waiting on rising and proofing, where you can be off doing other things you enjoy. I love that my bread is always fresh and free of preservatives.

A ball bunny is a girl who will go to any sporting event. She's not interested in the game itself but who she'll hook-up with that night.
Nick gets every ball bunny.

Along the same lines as a puck bunny, a ball bunny is characterized as a female, mostl likely in highschool, who comes to lacrosse games for the sole purpose of hooking up with one, or more, of the players after the game. The score, penalties, and anything else relevant to the actual game is not of interest to a ball bunny.
"Man, she's such a ball bunny. I can't wait to hook up with her."

Good Morning Council. As I was thinking about all the work we've done together since the last time we met, I realized that I have now been in this new job for about one year. How time flies when you're having fun. But seriously, as a proud son of farmworkers from Guadalupe and a teacher and chapter president from Santa Maria, it continues to be an honor to serve as your Executive Director.
The first time I spoke to you, last October, I shared with you an axiom for organizing that says: A good organizer is a social arsonist who goes around setting people on fire. Well, from political action…to bargaining support…to chapter organizing…to transforming our profession…to community outreach…to recruiting new members…you all have been setting fires.
Dean talked to you about the importance of this election and in a bit we're going to hear from "the man of Tuesday" himself, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. But I wanted to share some of the serious work that is happening on your behalf. Our GR staff, Field staff and Communications staff have really been working 24-7 for weeks to assure success.
They not only work in getting information out to all of you and our members, but are also leading coalition campaign efforts in these targeted races. I want you to see and hear some of that work today.
For Tom Torlakson we started with an Issue Advocacy campaign that included two TV ads: One that called for ensuring that school funding decisions remain with local communities and a second talking about the need for science, career and technical education programs. Those ads also ran in Spanish.
With money from the CTA-ABC Fund, CTA is now leading an Independent Expenditure campaign for Tom. Working in coalition, CFT, CFA, CSEA, SEIU, AFSCME and the Building Trades have also contributed to this $2.2 million effort. The coalition paid for voter mail and is running radio ads across the state.
For Patrick O'Donnell in Assembly District 60 in Long Beach, CTA's ABC spent $250,000 for four pieces of mail and a TV ad. And where are all the folks from Assembly District 16. Come on, stand up. These people have given new meaning to the terms phone banking and precinct walking as CTA and a coalition of labor organizations have organized the largest field operation probably ever in an Assembly race.
Again, thanks to your ABC funds, the CTA labor coalition is helping Tim by countering the more than $2 million being spent by the corporate special interests supporting Steve Glazer. The labor coalition has countered with a well-organized Independent Expenditure campaign that includes field, 25 pieces of mail, and advertising online, on the radio and on TV.
We've got just two days left. I'm going to ask you to reach out to 20 friends – and your friends in this room don't count – it must be other people. Call them, text them, tweet them, Facebook them, peddle your bike to their house...however you want to reach them. But tell them to Get Out and Vote. To vote for Tom and all the candidates that support public education. They can use the electronic voter guide on the CTA website to the recommended list. That's at cta.yourvoterguide.com.
Fair Share
You heard Dean talk about the Fair Share lawsuit, Harris v. Quinn, yesterday. In CTA, we have about 29,000 agency fee payers.
And I really do believe it is a question of not if, but when. Even if the Court rejects Quinn, there are other lawsuits waiting in the wings. Friedrichs vs CTA and many more across the country. It's a pretty daunting list. It's why CTA didn't wait for any decision.
• I appointed a cross-divisional task force of managers back in January to look at the implications for CTA and local chapter.
• Dean and I served on an NEA committee that developed a Fair Share Tool Kit.
• Through our Strategic Plan, CTA has done research, and talked to young members to find out what Member Benefits might incent them to join the association voluntarily.
• We're updating our data structures to collect better information on members.
• We've reached out to other state affiliates, like Michigan, who have lost fair share to learn their lessons.
• We are reviewing and updating Membership trainings and member promotional materials for the new school year.
• We're organizing for power to engage members and build local capacity.
• And we continue to connect members to the message of fairness, democracy and the essential need for a quality public education system as the foundation for a great society and a better California for all of us.
Strategic Plan
And we're going to be ready…because of all you and your wisdom of developing a long-term strategic plan for CTA.
As Eric said the Implementation Workgroup of leaders, members, managers and staff has been appointed. We are working hard to identify places where some of the work is already happening, building the reporting structures to collect and share that information and put a realistic timeline together.
CTA managers and staff also have been reviewing and aligning work in accordance with the plan. We have a lot of work ahead of us and the Strategic Plan will guide our way. But we are off to a good start and we are all up to the challenge.
Charter Organizing and Other Updates
Here's a terrific example. Organizing Unrepresented Workers, including educators in charter schools, is a key part of the plan. It was also a CTA priority this year. Through a grant from NEA we hired an organizer to coordinate that work and a lot is happening statewide.
In what is a significant and actually historic undertaking, we worked with educators teaching through the California Virtual Academy to organize and collect union cards. CAVA is the largest kindergarten thru 12th grade online charter school in California with an enrollment of close to 17,000 students and 700 employees throughout the state.
CAVA is the California expression of the national online company, K-12. K-12 is a for-profit, publicly traded company that provides management, curriculum and technology to CAVA as well as other affiliated online charter schools throughout the Country.
K-12 is very anti-union and driven by the bottom line. The New York Times describes them as "a company that tries to squeeze profits from public school dollars by raising enrollment, increasing teacher workload and lowering standards." Only one other attempt to organize K-12 was in Pennsylvania and it failed because the company spent millions to threaten and undermine employee efforts.
Here in California, a team of 50 CAVA educators organized themselves, gathered signatures from a majority of their colleagues and with help from CTA filed the union support petitions with the Public Employment Relations Board earlier this month. PERB will go through a process that will take about two months to verify union support. But what an AMAZING first step! Congratulations to the organizing team.
In other charter organizing activities, CTA has done research to find out what issues motivate educators in charter schools to join a union.
We are planning an exciting training and outreach program this July in the Bay Area. The purpose is to provide leadership development and experience with outreach to non-union educators that members can then bring back to their home locals.
This year, educators at Community Learning Center Schools, a small charter management organization in Alameda organized a union including all classified and certificated educators. They are now bargaining their first contract.
And, CTA has also started regional meetings of union charter school leaders in different parts of the state to talk about how we can coordinate bargaining and address political issues that are important to charter schools. I hope you join me in being pleased with the progress we've made toward that charter organizing goal.
Bargaining work and contract settlements continue in hundreds of chapters across the state. Settlements are starting to level off with a lot of one-year contracts the last two months with most salary and benefit increases being around 3 to 5 percent.
The CTA Common Core Seminars ended in May with the last training in Oxnard with 225 participants. In total, the five seminars attracted more than 1,900 educators, ESPs and administrators. IPD staff are now working on a second grant from NEA and other foundations to expand trainings and build a cadre of educators to share instructional strategies and best practices.
Staff continue to help local chapters bargain Memorandums of Understanding to ensure teacher involvement in the implementation of the Common Core standards. In one innovative approach the San Leandro Teachers Association created an Institute for Instructional Innovators and Instructional Innovator Learning Communities. The Instructional Innovator is a teacher leader who is trained to play a major role in the district's implementation of Common Core or the Next Generation Science Standards. This teacher demonstrates classroom practices and serves as a model for colleagues as they adopt the standards and the new instructional approaches. The agreement provides for stipends of up to $2,500 for the work.
Chapters up and down the state are holding forums and town halls to engage parents and community members in the development of spending priorities for the Local Control Funding Formula and the development of Local Control Accountability Plans.
In a joint higher education project, the College of the Canyons has received a special NEA grant to focus on the "Recursive Pipeline Into Teaching." This $450,000 grant, funded over three years, is to develop a partnership working with CSU-Northridge's Chicano Studies Department to facilitate Latino students into the transition to become educators.
And Big Kudos to the Sacramento City Teachers Association. The phony California Office to Reform Education, otherwise known as CORE, and their NCLB waiver that I talked about last time is DEAD in Sacramento! The union and the district agreed not to re-apply for the CORE waiver next year. Way to send them packing. Great work!
Whew! We are certainly busy. But this is the beauty of CTA, no matter the challenges or the work that needs to be done, I know all of you – our leaders, members, managers and staff are up to the task. I know because we are union activists. We care about the future of public education, our students, and the future of California. We are all social arsonists.
I know, because in the spirit of Gay Pride month and in the words of one of the most courageous and inspirational organizers, Harvey Milk, we are full of hope…and hope will never be silent!
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

HARRISBURG - The Curve are now at their lowest point of the season at 14 games below .500 (61-75), and they're getting dangerously close to the worst record in franchise history.
Harrisburg, which is battling for a division title, downed the Curve, 6-3, Tuesday night at Metro Bank Park. Altoona has six games remaining - two at Harrisburg and four at home against Akron - and must win at least two of those to avoid tying the club record of 80 losses.
The 2009 Curve squad finished 62-80 for the worst record in team history. That club started 0-8 and had the worst record in all of professional baseball for much of the season, before Pedro Alvarez joined the team and led a mini-resurgence in the second half.
This year's Curve team has been much more competitive than that 2009 club, but wild inconsistency has plagued the team to the point where 80 losses is now a possibility.
The top of Harrisburg's batting order once again destroyed Curve pitching Tuesday. Leadoff man Billy Burns went 4-for-5 with three runs, Brian Goodwin went 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI and Steven Souza went 4-for-5 with three RBIs.
The Senators ripped 15 hits, and Altoona also committed three errors.
Eliecer Navarro (4-7) gave up four runs - two earned - on 10 hits in 5 innings for the loss. Harrisburg reliever Matt Grace (6-2) picked up the win.
Gregory Polanco hit a two-run homer for the Curve in the fourth inning, his sixth.
AFL picks
Four Curve players and one former player were selected to take part in the Arizona Fall League: OF Alex Dickerson, SS Alen Hanson, RHP Tyler Waldron and RHP Zack Thornton will take part in the prestigious league, along with SS Gift Ngoepe, who spent much of the season with the Curve but is now at high-A Bradenton.
Altoona pitching coach Stan Kyles will be a coach in the league.
Game recap
Key player: RF Justin Souza went 4-for-5 with three RBIs for Harrisburg.
Key play: Souza singled home two runs in the sixth to break up a 2-2 tie.
Key stat: The Curve are now a season-worst 14 games below .500.
How they scored
Bottom 1st: Burns doubled, scored on Solis error (0-1); Goodwin singled, scored on Nicol bases-loaded walk (0-2).
Top 4th: Santos singled, scored on Polanco two-run homer (2-2).
Bottom 6th: Martinson reached on Santos error, Burns singled, both scored on Souza single (2-4).
Top 8th: Hanson singled, scored on Santos double (3-4).
Bottom 8th: Burns singled, scored on Goodwin double (3-5); Souza single scored Goodwin (3-6).

"What can be done today to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are aging?" That's the focus of this issue of Impact. The articles in these pages give a variety of responses to the question. From self-advocates we hear of the importance of having opportunities to be active participants in their communities, to be listened to as they speak up for themselves, and to continue to pursue their own goals and dreams for their lives. From siblings we hear about the necessity to respond to the concerns that keep them awake at night as they deal with the aging of all their family members, including parents who may have been primary caregivers for their brothers or sisters with disabilities. From researchers we hear of the policy and service issues that need to be addressed as the number of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities over 60 years of age is projected to grow to 1.2 million in the next 20 years. And we hear from practitioners as they describe some of the promising approaches to ensuring quality service and supports that address the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our hope is that readers of this issue will find some fresh perspectives and information that will be useful to them as they journey with the aging adults with disabilities who are in their lives.

THE OVERCAST SKY WAS TYPICAL of Boston's late-arriving spring, and inside the Kennedy Library the tableau for the sixth presentation of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award seemed as it always had. On the dais sat Sen. Edward Kennedy, 63, and JFK's children, John F. Kennedy Jr., 34, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, 37. The scene lacked just one familiar person: Jackie.
It has now been a year since Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis died, at 64, of cancer in her New York City apartment. And the May 8 ceremony, imbued with memories of her first husband and the spirit of Camelot, brought her absence sharply to mind. Her son rose to speak, citing the past five recipients of an award that, he said, "reminds all citizens that politics remains an honorable profession." When Caroline presented former Oklahoma Rep. Mike Synar with the award—a sterling Tiffany lantern designed by her artist husband, Edwin, 49—she beckoned with Jackie-ish savvy for John to join her. At that moment it seemed another torch had been passed: the custodianship of the JFK legacy.
In the public consciousness, the Jackie legend has only grown larger over the past year. During recent months, New York City has renamed both the Central Park Reservoir and a Manhattan high school in her honor. Her image is deconstructed in the new book Jackie Under My Skin: Interpreting an Icon, by Yale English professor Wayne Koestenbaum. And average attendance for "A Tour Named Jackie," a $10, 2-hour guided walking excursion through Onassis's Upper East Side neighborhood, has doubled since it was revived last July after a hiatus at the time of her illness. "It has a whole new audience now," says tour operator Sam Stafford. "People say they come to pay their last respects."
But for those who lived in Jackie's private world, especially her children and her companion in her last years, financier Maurice Tempelsman, 65, time hasn't stilled the ripples of her passing. For John and Caroline, the months have been spent settling Jackie's estimated $200 million estate—a task both difficult and sad. The antique French and English furnishings of Onassis's Fifth Avenue apartment had to be sorted for an auction Sotheby's is expected to hold later this year. One parcel won't go on the block: Jackie's jewels. Recently, Caroline appeared at the opening of the American Ballet Theatre season in Manhattan wearing a pair of diamond earrings, among her mother's favorites. Most of the gems, including a 40-carat diamond ring given to Jackie by Aristotle Onassis, reportedly will be sold privately through friends of Tempelsman, a diamond investor.
There have been painful moments for the children. In January the Fifth Avenue apartment was sold to billionaire energy executive David Koch, 54, for $9.5 million. "She had great taste; it was very personalized and filled with books everywhere," says Koch, who adds that he won't live there for at least a year. "I want to upgrade it and make it my style." This spring, as movers emptied the 15-room apartment, John Jr. was seen watching quietly from across the street, accompanied by his girlfriend Carolyn Bessette, publicity director for Calvin Klein. Of John and Caroline's larger inheritance—the family name—Caroline seems to be particularly mindful. Though a friend says the Schlossbergs have done "less entertaining" in their Manhattan apartment since the deaths of Jackie and, last January, Caroline's grandmother Rose Kennedy, Caroline has stepped into her mother's role as a cultural patron. This February she took over Jackie's job as honorary chairwoman of the American Ballet Theatre—listing herself on correspondence as Caroline B. Kennedy (the B is for Bouvier). Between times with her three children, Rose, 6, Tatiana, 5, and Jack, 2, Caroline has been busy cowriting her second book, The Right to Privacy, a constitutional study to be published this fall.
Meanwhile, John Jr. is set to make his own splash in publishing. George, the political-personality magazine conceived by Kennedy and his friend, marketing executive Michael Berman, 37, is scheduled to appear in September—a launch made possible by some $25 million in backing from French-owned Hachette Filipacchi Magazines. "Instead of writing about the highest-grossing film, we'll write about the best campaign ad," Kennedy told TIME. Meanwhile, editor-in-chief Kennedy is quickly learning the media ropes. "It has dawned on him what a huge undertaking this is," a George contributor says of Kennedy. "He's a charming, sweet guy, but he's all business about this. They have lots of meetings."
Life has gone on for Jackie's other intimates as well. Tempelsman has been seen squiring a new companion, Inmaculada de Habsburgo Lorena, a friend of Spain's royal family, to social functions. Meanwhile, Jackie's sister Lee Radziwill, 62, who works as a consultant to couturier Giorgio Armani, may be sorting out mixed feelings about her sibling. In a new biography, In Her Sister's Shadow, author Diana DuBois writes that the Bouvier daughters "barely spoke" after the 1970s.
An area in which Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's grace and strength still find poignant expression is at her simple grave in Arlington National Cemetery, near the eternal flame marking President Kennedy's grave. On a recent afternoon, Lorena Arroyos, 16, an El Paso high school student, turned teary-eyed at the sight of the two matching slate slabs. "At JFK's funeral, Jackie didn't cry. She was strong for everyone," said Arroyos. "They weren't together very long in life. At least they're together now."

Update: Chad Ford with a new mock draft: "The Thunder have been their typical quiet selves. GM Sam Presti has told a number of agents that he is interested in their players, but it has been difficult to ascertain the direction toward which they are leaning. We continue to hear that the Thunder have expressed interest in Rubio, Thabeet, James Harden, Jordan Hill and Stephen Curry. Rubio likely will make a visit to OKC sometime before the draft, but major questions exist about how he would fit there. The team sees Russell Westbrook as its point guard of the future and isn't sure how he would fare without the ball in his hands. Maybe more importantly, Presti is an opportunist. If he can get a couple of good assets in return for the No. 3 pick, he won't be afraid to pull the trigger. But if he doesn't, and if Rubio is off the board, the team will have to make a tough decision. Thabeet would give the Thunder the shot-blocking they desperately need. Harden would give them the savvy of a veteran. Curry would give them shooting. Hill would give them rebounding and energy. Oklahoma City could use all those things, but our guess is that it will settle on Harden."
Now this is a mock draft: "OKC – James Harden – I normally respect Sam Presti and his giant pulsating brain, but he will make the greatest mistake of his career by drafting Harden. Sure, shooting guard is a glaring need for an otherwise promising team, but I heard from a guy who knows a guy who dated a girl who read on a blog that Harden is such a bad athlete that he entered a 3 km race with a rabbit and only won because the rabbit was so confident of winning that he decided to take a nap midway through the course. Further, I hear that the slothful James Harden has not legs but a gelatinous mass of flesh not unlike a slug that leaves a trail of greasy discharge when he runs the court on a fast break." I sense sarcarm…
Sam Young could slip simply because of his age. I hope he slips right to No. 25, because I absolutely love his game: "A two time all-Big East selection, Young possesses a polished all around game with a knack for performing best in his team's biggest games. The small forward averaged 23.5 points per game in the NCAA Tournament, leading the team to the Elite Eight. Despite all of these accomplishments, however, Young will likely slip out of the draft lottery and into the latter part of the first round largely because of his age. At 24, Young is older than even most of his classmates which, by NBA Draft standards, is ancient. He might as well be Abe Vigoda. Few players in this draft have the combination of skills, athleticism and experience that Young has yet he still isn't considered a top prospect in this draft."
Ricky Rubio has officially sued to get out of his contract: "Ricky Rubio now must deal with the Spanish government if he wants to play in the NBA. The guard has been trying to get out of his contract with Spanish league team DKV Joventut but has met resistance. On Tuesday, according to the Spanish news agency EFE, Rubio sued the team after learning that it had transferred the rights to his buyout to Hacienda, the Spanish version of the Internal Revenue Service. The rights were sold to satisfy a debt Joventut had with Hacienda."
Awesome nickname? Check. Solid skills? Check. Size? Check. Loyalty to sponsors? Ehhhh: "[Gortat] also received an uncomfortable phone call last weekend from Reebok, with whom he has a shoe contract. Representatives of the company were not happy to see a picture of him from Game 1 in a Polish newspaper that prominently displayed his Michael Jordan/Nike logo tattoo on his lower right leg. Reebok asked him either to wear higher socks tonight to cover up the tattoo, or to apply makeup so it will not be noticed through the rest of the NBA Finals. "They called and said I had to do something about it, but that ain't going to happen," Gortat said after Tuesday morning's workout. "I've been wearing it 4-5 years now, and it helped me get to the NBA," said Gortat. "They didn't say anything about it when I signed the contract, so it's not going anywhere. I don't think they are paying me enough to take it off."
This guy says don't think, just draft James Harden: "Harden should be the second pick in this years draft. He has proven he can play and carry a team, and if that isn't enough he is almost the spitting image of a current NBA all-star Brandon Roy. And if you don't think Brandon Roy can play in the league you haven't seen him carry his Blazers team. James Harden will become an all-star in the NBA and is just waiting for an NBA team to Draft him, hopefully it's the team you root for."
Does the guy sitting next to you smell like a pile of trash in the summer time? Does the lady behind you spit curse words for 48 straight minutes? Is the family to your left just really, really awkward? Welll, good news! The Thunder will be hosting a seat relocation event today at the Coca Cola Events Center at 3 p.m. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen or how it works, but evidently you'll have the chance to move around a bit with you seats. And if you're stuck by the trash-smelling, foul-mouthed awkward guy, this is a big day for you.
Jim Traber Bill Ingram of HoopsWorld has OKC taking Jordan Hill: "Jordan Hill is the real deal. He loves the game, wants to get better, and sees the NBA as a way for him to provide for his young son and his family. He has a very professional approach the draft process, and lacks the sense of entitlement displayed by Hasheem Thabeet, who many have predicted the Thunder would take at #3."
Man, it seems like there's a new rumor without a lot of foundation every day. So, here's another – reportedly, OKC is favoring Harden. Surprised? Me either: "You probably can scratch Jordan Hill off the list of possible players that Thunder general manager Sam Presti might select with the No. 3 overall selection. Latest draft rumors have Hill slipping in the draft, possibly to as low as No. 8, 9 or 10 if Golden State doesn't select the Arizona forward at No. 7. Presti isn't giving indications which way he's leaning but early speculation is the Thunder might bypass Hasheem Thabeet and Ricky Rubio and go with James Harden, possibly DeMar DeRozan. Harden, a stocky, 6-foot-5, left-handed shooting guard, is said to have a high basketball IQ with a knack to get open and get to the free throw line." It took Mike Baldwin three weeks to get privy to the Harden speculation.
The Thunder's got a couple players coming in for workouts today: Omri Cassipi from Israel, Damion James from Texas, DaJuan Summers from Georgetown and Demarre Carroll from Missouri. DeMar DeRozan worked out for OKC Monday.

If you're running a server locally, that's still running in a separate

The NHL doesn't care about how good the team is, it cares about how much revenue it can bring in. When you say "parity" do you think they are talking about the competition? No. They are talking about revenue and salary parity. The NHL wanted a cap so the Detroit's of the league can not sign all the big names anymore. They wanted the smaller markets to be the only ones who can sign the big names so they can generate more revenue with those names. Why do you think Minnesota was able to sign the Olsen Twins over the summer? Do you think for a minute that id there was no salary cap that those guys would have gone to Minnesota? You make it so the successful franchises cannot sign the big names, now the small markets get to give them $14M a year and people buy the Parise and Suter jersey's. But when it comes down to it, the team is so mismanaged that they still aren't as good as the same top 6 teams that are always there. Now Minnesota is probably going to be forced to buyout a top player and all of a sudden the team isn't even as good as it was this past season.
If we had league parity on a talent scale, then there would be different teams in the final 4 every year. (at least more than there is now.) But no, the 5 remaining teams where the last 5 Stanley Cup winners.
It's all about generating a couple years of profits in a city, its not about winning. At least to the NHL. To the fans, once they realize their team still sucks, even with the superstar on their team, they stop going to the games...especially in places like Nashville, Florida, Phoenix and Carolina. You see how well it did for the Preds when they signed Weber to that huge contract... Sure, fans will go for a couple of seasons to see if the teams gets better around Weber, but it won't and they will stop coming....again.
This is what I meant.

A Union City woman remains behind bars in Florida after allegedly "cursing, spitting, kicking and screaming" after being refused alcohol aboard a US Airways flight from Charlotte, N.C., to Fort Myers, Fla., officials said yesterday.
When the plane landed at 6:01 p.m. Tuesday, Peggy S. Albedhady-Sanchez, 50, of Kennedy Boulevard at 39th Street, was arrested by officers of the Lee County Port Authority Police and was charged with three counts of battery, as well as the federal offense of interfering with a flight crew, according to the arrest report.
The incident happened just hours after passengers aboard a JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas wrestled down that plane's agitated pilot.
After being refused an alcoholic beverage because she appeared intoxicated, Albedhady-Sanchez grabbed a female flight attendant by the wrist and began cursing, spitting, kicking and screaming, according to police reports.
When a male flight attendant tried to intervene, Albedhady-Sanchez slapped him across the face, reports said, adding that Albedhady-Sanchez is 5-foot-9 and weighs 135 pounds.
An off-duty Lee County sheriff's officer grabbed Albedhady-Sanchez and escorted her to the back of the plane, where he had to continue restraining her because she was "combative, hitting, spitting and threatening the flight attendant," reports said.
When a third flight attendant tried to help, Albedhady-Sanchez kicked him in the groin, reports said.
While she was being placed in a plastic wrist restraint, Albedhady-Sanchez kicked and broke an armrest, reports said, adding the off-duty officer had to stay with her during the rest of the flight due to "her continued aggression."
Albedhady-Sanchez remains in custody at the Lee County jail in lieu of a $5,000 bail and her first court appearance on the charges is set for April 17, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
The case will likely be taken over by the FBI, a spokeswoman for the Lee County Port Authority Police said yesterday.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

I was an artist model at the time and I got some criticism from a few people that I looked too androgynous. I found that kind of silly since I'm standing right there in front of everybody, naked as a jay-bird. Boy did it feel so nice when it was really short and you could just rub the soft hair all day long.

Britney Spears is just a boundless sea of awesomeness!
The 31-year-old pop star is not only prepping for her Vegas residency, but is also working on a brand spanking new album. That's right, a new album!
Spears' eighth studio album is slated for release later this year and is produced — in part — by William Orbit, who is famous for his work with Madonna.
"Going to cut vocals in LA with Britney in a few weeks," Orbit wrote on his Facebook page. "We've songs to die for."
The record will also feature production by Will.I.Am, who has previously collaborated with Spears on his single "Scream & Shout".
"Before we even start we've had these juicy sessions, where we've been bonding, building the trust and comfort. I've never worked like this before — not even the Peas," Will.I.Am told Billboard.
How exciting is this? Spears has previously tweeted that this shall be her "most personal album ever." which somewhat makes us giddy. We can't wait!

Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Corp has just struck a deal with Saab to purchase tooling for the most recent 9-5 model. The Chinese company will reassemble the equipment at one of its factories and market the car as its own.
Production of the decade-old 9-5 ended earlier this year, and the dismantling of the line began in October. Tooling will be headed to China shortly with a BAIC branded version of the 9-5 slated to roll off the assembly line early next year.
With the recent decision from Koenigsegg to not to buy the struggling Swedish automaker, the company may be forced to liquidate its assets. GM will continue to take bids for Saab through the end of the year. Saab will be forced to close down if it cannot be sold by the deadline. Dutch automaker Spyker has been rumored to be in talks about buying Saab, but nothing official has been announced.
The next-generation 2011 Saab 9-5 debuted in Frankfurt earlier this year. Will it see production?

Prayer for the Ministry of the Word
July 08, 2012
There are a few hymns—just a few—that have been written to be sung as a petition to God immediately before the minister opens God's Word. A favorite of mine is John Newton's "Prayer for the Ministry of the Word." It can be sung to any number of tunes including "Amazing Grace." The best lines come right at the end. After asking that God would bless both the preacher and the hearers, the song concludes that if God is to do all this, "So shall the benefit be ours / And thou shalt have the praise."
Thy promise, LORD, and thy command
Have brought us here today;
And now, we humbly waiting stand
To hear what thou wilt say.
Meet us, we pray, with words of peace,
And fill our hearts with love;
That from our follies we may cease,
And henceforth faithful prove.
Now, LORD, inspire the preacher's heart,
And teach his tongue to speak;
Food to the hungry soul impart,
And comfort to the weak.
Furnish us all with light and power
To walk in Wisdom's ways;
So shall the benefit be ours,
And thou shalt have the praise.

Fantastic green space that could be so much more...
Beautiful park, lots to see and do.
A great big park with lots of areas to hang around in!
Fabulous park that caters for everyone from those athletes training weekly on the track to mums and dads having a picnic with their children in the playground or those that just want to take in the panoramic view from the top. Love this area!
Do you think you've seen this? Doyouthinkisaurus
Unpolished gem of a park. Can't wait for some investment to bring it back to it's former glory
A maze, Dinosaurs, pedaloes, playground, petting farm, gig venue, history, culture, mass open spaces, park run, café, sports centre, the transmitters, 3 swimming pools, fishing lakes, best toboggining venue ever, open to have large parties and tents, events all year from fireworks to film festivals - it's the reason I rarely make the 20 min journey to zone 1 at weekends. I have a lot of love for this park - Dinosaurs people Dinosaurs!
A wonderful heritage park that needs more investment - not being sold off to developers, Mr Boris Johnson!!!
"come on...who else has dinosaurs living in their local park?" perfect for a "first date stroll on a Sunday afternoon, getting to know you...."
I like the place so much I even went on BBC London News to talk about it. That it deserves attention stems not only from it being as original as it is historically important but also from the fact that the celebrated dinosaur statues are in dire need of repair. Any help - or simply further awareness - would be hugely appreciated. https://www.facebook.com/CPdinos/videos/889686324418325/
Must go see the dinosaur park. Sculptures made by Sir RIchard Owen who was the scientist who first named and classed them as Dinosaurs!

Term used in prison for white inmates in prison, used by other minorities as a racist comment, eventually the term was adopted by white supremacist gangs in the prison system as a name for one of their gangs.
Term comes from wood pecker, because they normally have red hair, and whites are the only people who have red hair.

This weekend's movie news practically wrote it's own good vs. evil headline. "Charlie's Angels," the campy wide-screen take on the '70s TV action series, beat out the new Adam Sandler comedy about the devil's son, "Little Nicky," for the top spot on the box office chart. The military drama "Men of Honor," with Cuba Gooding, Jr.. and Robert De Niro, also opened strong. Of the three films, "Men" got the best reviews.

MILLVILLE – Last year it was suggested by Millville Senior High
Now each week a new word is chosen and Mrs. Keefer, literacy coach at MSHS, weaves all of the previous SAT words into a paragraph and reads them over the morning announcements.
Recently Keefer issued a challenge to the student body.
Students were asked to write a morning announcement that not only contained the SAT word for the following week but all of the previous SAT words of the week.
Chip Fantini, a junior, rose to the challenge and won the contest. Below is his winning entry:
As I APSIRE to complete this menial paragraph, I write in a SCRUPULOUS manner as not to offend anyone. Becoming CONFOUNDED by the difficulty, my writing begins to slow.
Now I reread each of the CRITERION to be sure I know what I am doing. I should write a PITHY remark here, but people would become DISPUTATIOUS over my opinion.
I hope my writing style is not to PONDEROUS for you; as I write appealing to Mrs. Keefer who is important because she has the ASCENDANCY to reject my entry leaving me feeling dejected.
I wonder if this competition is being run AUTONOMOUSLY, and I hope my competitors and I treat each other with CAMARADERIE and BENEVOLENCE.
Writing this paragraph in class makes me feel very INCONGRUOUS, a feeling often felt in high school.

A familiar posture seen in grocery stores often points to a familiar diagnosis.
"Spinal stenosis is really a clinical diagnosis. Patients have this 'shopping cart sign' meaning they like to flex forward at the waist when they're walking like you might do at Wal-Mart or Costco, when you're pushing your shopping cart," says Dr. Christopher Dawson, physical medicine & rehabilitation on Lee Memorial Health System's medical staff.
Most common in people over 60, spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal canal. Compressing the spinal cord can trigger nerve pain- felt in the back, hip or legs. Many sufferers don't know what's wrong but realize they're more comfortable hunched over a shopping cart.
"That happens to open up the canal of the spine to relieve pressure so patients obviously like to walk in a more flexed position in the waist. So positions which would make their symptoms worse would be standing up straight or laying flat in bed," says Dr. Dawson.
Like grey hair and wrinkles, this condition is associated with natural aging. While you can't turn back the clock, recognizing the condition can put you on the path to relief.
"Treatment of lumbar or spinal stenosis begins with activity modification, physical therapy, massage therapy, aquatic therapy, weight loss and also injection therapies can improve patient symptoms," says Dr. Dawson.
That shopping-cart position could be a sign of the spine, telling you it's time to see a doctor and face the diagnosis head on.

New gesture and voice-controlled TVs may outdo remote controls
Los Angeles: Remote controls could soon become outdated with the advent of new generation gesture and voice-controlled televisions, tech observers say.
The new technology allows viewers to control a new line of TV sets simply by speaking or gesturing at them, eliminating the need for clunky pointing devices and opening up a range of new ways people can use and interact with their televisions, the Los Angeles Times reported.
At a giant booth constructed by Samsung Electronics for the Consumer Electronics Show last week in Las Vegas, a young lady gave a demonstration of the company's new line of Smart TV sets, which come with a built-in Web browser as well as online applications such as Netflix, Skype and Facebook.
"Hi TV," she said, issuing the verbal command for the TV to turn on.
"Channel 1034." The TV switched to a news channel.
"Web browser," she continued, and the Yahoo home page popped up.
Tech observers have asserted that gesture and voice recognition systems will grow more refined as the computers embedded in smartphones, TVs, tablets and home appliances become more powerful.
That will bring to end an era of mice and remote controls, which started in 1950 with Zenith's "Lazy Bones," a remote connected to the TV through a long wire.
According to Charles Golvin, an analyst at Forrester Research, with the newer controls, "you can simply use what God or nature gave you: your hands or your body or your voice -- and that's all you need".
People may take some time to go remote-less but once they do, Golvin insisted, "most people would say it's simpler and more natural." Text: ANI

It's a conundrum many parents face: what to do with the steady flow of drawings, paintings, collages and more that children bring home from school and camp? Which are the keepers and - besides sticking them up on the refrigerator with magnets - how can you display them creatively?
"They caught me throwing some away, and they were not happy about it," Mandy Rose of Carterville, Ill., said of her three children.
Rose, who loves to decorate her house and writes about it at houseofroseblog.com, decided to combine some of her kids' work with professional pieces and family photos in a montage on her dining room wall. She even commissioned one of the kids to create a finger painting for an eye-catching frame she had bought.
"People always ask, 'Did your kids make that?'" she said. "It's a real conversation starter."
Children's art absolutely has a place in home d�cor and can add a welcome personal touch, said Esther Sadowsky, owner of Charm & Whimsy, an interior design firm in Jersey City, N.J.
"Sometimes my jaw drops when I see the work of my customers' children," she said. "Children's art displayed in a house - it's a home then."
Like Rose, she suggests displaying kids' works in art groupings. She often lays out the pieces on the floor so she and her client can visualize how they fit together. "You can make a beautiful arrangement," said Sadowsky, who has a painting she made as a 12-year-old hanging in her own living room.
Rose laid out the items for her "gallery wall" on the floor as well. She snapped photos of various arrangements so she could compare them, and went through her house to find frames in the same color palette to create cohesion in the grouping.
Sadowsky has sent parents to big box stores or craft stores to buy inexpensive frames. It's possible to find frames with precut mats for a more professional look. Do-it-yourselfers also can use construction paper or foam core to create mats for artwork, she said.
In her children's playroom, Rose strung wire between two hooks and allows the kids to pick and choose what they want to hang up. The setup allows them to highlight favorite paintings and projects until they make something they like better.
Finding a temporary place like that to display work makes sense, agreed Jeffry Cudlin, a professor of curatorial studies and practice at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. He routinely highlights the work of his 4-year-old son, Miles, at home to show him that the family values handmade art.
Cudlin uses binder clips to hang Miles' art in an ornate frame that usually hangs in his dining room; the clips mean he can rotate different pieces through the frame for an ever-changing display.
Deciding which pieces to keep long-term can be a challenge, Cudlin said. He looks for work that includes loved ones or commemorates a special event. He routinely frames Miles' work and gives it to family members who are represented in the drawing.
He also finds that he appreciates many of his son's drawings more after he asks questions about them. The art provides insights into how the preschooler views the world, and helps preserve his thoughts, Cudlin said.
"His way of thinking about things - the way he experiences the world - you're not going to get that back," he said.
Cali Sanker, education coordinator of the Ohio State University Urban Arts Space in Columbus, recommends saving a child's pieces from various ages to create an artistic record of his or her growth.
"It is not only a special way to reminisce about your child's younger years, but a special way of embracing how much they have grown," she said.

Negative Dialectics (German: Negative Dialektik) is a 1966 book by Theodor W. Adorno.
Adorno seeks to update the philosophical process known as the dialectic, freeing it from traits previously attributed to it that he believed to be fictive. In summary, for Hegel, the dialectic was a process of realisation that things contain their own negation and through this realisation the parts are sublated into something greater. Adorno's dialectics rejected this positive element wherein the result was something greater than the parts that preceded and argued for a dialectics which produced something essentially negative. Negative Dialectics begins, "[it] is a phrase that flouts tradition. As early as Plato, dialectics meant to achieve something positive by means of negation; the thought figure of the 'negation of the negation' later became the succinct term. This book seeks to free dialectics from such affirmative traits without reducing its determinacy."[1]
Adorno's work has had a large impact on cultural criticism, particularly through Adorno's analysis of popular culture and the culture industry.[2] Adorno's account of dialectics has influenced Joel Kovel[3] and John Holloway.[4]

TAMPA, Fla. — Devils defenseman Matt Taormina has literally taken it on the chin this season.
Called up for Saturday's home game against the Montreal Canadiens, Taormina took a puck in the chin during the second period and has sported a large cut the last few days.
It wasn't nearly as painful as starting the year in Albany (AHL) after a rookie season in which he showed great promise in 18 games before fracturing his ankle and missing the rest of the season after surgery.
"The first part of this season it took me a little bit to get everything back," he said. "I felt I had to do more than I really had to do and I started to get myself in trouble. I finally kind of relaxed a little bit, started being myself and everything started going my way."
Taormina, 25, said he is trying not to put too much pressure on himself after getting an opportunity with injuries to Anton Volchenkov (ankle) and Andy Greene (toe).
"At first you're happy to get the call and then you do put a little pressure on yourself and you get a little nervous," he said. "Once game time comes that goes out of your mind and you just play your game. Now I just have to make sure I play a simple game rather than trying to do too much. If I put too much pressure on myself I try to do too much."
Taormina will be paired with Bryce Salvador against the LIghtning in his second game with the Devils this season. It is an opportunity he'd like to seize.
"Absolutely. It's unfortunate Volchenkov and Greene go down. But to be called up and get a shot again is a great opportunity," he said.
In 18 games last season, Taormina scored five points (three goals, two assists).

We ran into the Ratcliff City budding baker (who was wearing full baker's paraphernalia purchased at Carlo's and signed by Buddy himself) at Carlo's a few days before Thanksgiving. He came to New York City for his birthday and top on his list was to visit the bakery where his favorite show is filmed.
Hoboken's own Carlo's Bakery has been the scene of the reality "Cake Boss," which premiered this summer. It became a huge hit and draws visits from fans daily..
"His TV show is so awesome and he makes all these great cakes," Dalton said.
He didn't think he'd get to meet Buddy in person (though he did hope) but in the end, he got a tour of the bakery by Buddy himself and the chance to meet the rest of the crew.
"One of the ladies figured out that it was my birthday and we're here all the way from Oklahoma and she set it up," he said.
His favorite members of the crew? Well Buddy, of course, because he's "funny and nice" and Buddy Jr., and his sisters "because they always trash him," and "Stretch" because "he doesn't know what life is."
His favorite cakes? He can't decide between Alfie the Dragon and "the robot one." He likes both because they move and talk.
"He's had an infatuation with cooking since he was a little child," said Stephanie Ott. For the past two years the pair has had a pretend cooking show called "Getting down with Ott and Brown."
"This was a huge dream for him, to go see Buddy, and we finally made it out here," said cousin Derrick Ott.

Returnee of eyeglasses deserves a thank you | Letters | April 29
Thank you to whoever found my brown-frame glasses, put them in a plastic envelope and tacked them to the bulletin board at the entrance to the Grand Forest.
I lost them when I was walking the Trillium Trail April 21. My husband and I searched the trail until almost dark looking for them.
I am so happy to have them back and not have to buy a new pair.

'These proceedings are closed'
Speaking as a public servant, I wish to thank those citizens and firefighters who supported the leadership of the Woodinville Fire & Life Safety District. I refer to the recent dismissal of all charges in King County Superior Court, brought by a citizen of the district against myself and two other commissioners for a recall vote.
As our recent public meetings have demonstrated, the fire district is progressing forward with an interested core of potential candidates for our citizens' committee. We continue to make responsible decisions for the present and future of the district, with input from all credible sources. Our management team, led by Chief Smith, is developing long-term strategic plans with the Board of Commissioners. Most important, we are working with the city of Woodinville to increase the level of our cooperation and service.
As the district continues to grow, we remain steadfast in our mission of public safety and care for our citizens. We remain accountable to the public in all aspects. We remain committed to working cooperatively with our firefighters, and especially administrative staff, to provide the highest level professional service possible. As you have seen, our organization adapts to the changing needs of our district.
You will see the creativity of committed intelligent firefighters and administration staff to make the finest fire and life safety organization in the country while delivering quality at value to our citizens.
Ben May, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, WFLSD

Rachid Taha
Algerian worldbeat artist Rachid Taha was born in the Gulf of Oran during the peak of the Independence War era; as a child, he relocated with his family to France, later finding employment as a dishwasher, cook and factory worker before landing a DJing gig at a small area club. Forming the group Carte de Sejour, Taha attempted to create a style of Arabic rock music heavily influenced by the Algerian rai sound. In 1990 he went solo, moving into dance music. Teaming with producer Steve Hillage, he debuted in 1995 with a self-titled effort, followed a year later by Ole Ole. Taha returned in 1998 with Diwan. His 2000 release, Made in Medina, was recorded in Paris, London, Marrakech and New Orleans, reflecting the wide range of cultural influences that helped shape the recording. Jason Ankeny

Obamacare is a federal program, but what many Americans don't know is that costs will remain different from state to state. In fact, a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services shows some huge differences in premium costs depending on where you live.
In the following video, Dan Caplinger, The Motley Fool's director of investment planning and author of the special free report "Everything You Need to Know About Obamacare," talks with Motley Fool health-care bureau chief Max Macaluso about these cost differences and why they're so big. Dan notes that in comparing costs in different states, minimum coverage in the highest-price state, Wyoming, costs three times as much in Minnesota, the lowest-price state. He points out that some states have more than a hundred different options for residents to consider, while those in other states have fewer than 10. Moreover, demographic differences between states also contribute to disparities in average premiums, and those of different ages and in different cities should also expect to see variability in costs.
Max and Dan then discuss how the future could play out for Obamacare. If UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH ) , Cigna (NYSE: CI ) , and Aetna (NYSE: AET ) reverse their hesitation to participate in Obamacare health-insurance exchanges, then their presence could add competition to the mix and reduce premiums in some high-cost areas. On the other hand, if Health Management Associates (UNKNOWN: HMA.DL ) , Universal Health Services (NYSE: UHS ) , and other health-care providers raise their prices in some areas, it could send rates there rising even higher.
Get all the answers
Do you still feel like you're in the dark about how Obamacare might affect you and your portfolio? The Motley Fool's special report, "Everything You Need to Know About Obamacare," takes a 360-degree look at how the law may affect your taxes, health insurance, and investments.

Health officials lift Fredonia boil-water order
FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Village of Fredonia residents no longer have to boil their drinking and cooking water.
The Chautauqua County Health Department lifted the boil-water order Monday afternoon after testing showed no harmful bacteria in the village's water supply.
Customers have been boiling their water since Friday, when the village's treatment plant could not produce water that met the Health Department's drinking standards.
Anyone who uses the village's water supply is asked to flush their plumbing systems by running faucets, tubs and other water fixtures to ensure the water is safe for consumption.
Walter Reed cancer center named for late Rep. Murtha
WINDBER -- A cancer treatment program based at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington is being named for the late Democrat U.S. Rep. John Murtha, and will include a research laboratory in western Pennsylvania.
The Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown reported the John P. Murtha Cancer Center was to be dedicated Monday at the military hospital in Bethesda, Md.
Murtha is being honored because, as the powerful chairman of the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee, he helped provide funding for the hospital and its research partnership with the Windber Research Institute a few miles from Murtha's hometown of Johnstown.
Murtha died in February 2010 after 36 years in Congress.
