Victorino possibly facing back surgery
BOSTON -- Red Sox right fielder Shane Victorino cringed when he saw the results of an MRI on his back, and will go see specialist Dr. Robert Watkins for a second opinion in Los Angeles in hopes of avoiding surgery.
At this point, however, surgery seems like a legitimate option -- if not a likely one -- and Victorino has probably played his last baseball game in 2014.
"I'm definitely disappointed, [it's] news that I didn't want to get," Victorino said. "Obviously, I think we need another opinion -- see where we're at and we're going to go from there."
Though Victorino wasn't pleased with the news, it probably explains why he has had continued setbacks all season.
"It wasn't the news that we wanted. Some of the things that were shown were a little bit more than what we had hoped for, at least I had hoped for," Victorino said. "But obviously being out there and not being able to go -- and having those things hamper me -- I knew something was wrong."
Victorino was placed on the disabled list for the third time this season on Friday. He has played in just 30 games in 2014, after being a key performer for the Red Sox in a World Series-winning season in '13.
"I don't mind playing through pain, I don't mind playing through an injury. But the continuation of it happening was the thing that was worrisome to me," Victorino said. "The other night when I felt it, it was something that kind of woke me up a little bit. It was kind of sharp and sudden when it happened and we obviously found out why, with what the MRI revealed."
The second opinion should make it clear to Victorino what his next course of action should be.
"To go get another opinion from Dr. Watkins and see what he has is important to me to get that view of things -- and we kind of have an idea of what's going to happen," Victorino said. "As I said, I hope it's not going to be as serious. That's what I'm hoping."
At the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Red Sox acquired two outfielders -- Yoenis Cespedes and Allen Craig. With Victorino out, Cespedes will transition to right field (though he started in left on Saturday) and Craig will play left.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
35 mistakes
Directed by: Marc Webb
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Rhys Ifans
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Peter Parker is fighting on a train he tells the last man standing 'not my board', the last man is black but after hitting Parker and the board breaking the next shot is one of the guys he has already knocked down who is white fighting him after the board breaks.
Continuity mistake: While fighting against the Lizard in the lab, Peter looks at his backpack. The position of its straps and the debris on the wall change between shots.
Continuity mistake: Just when Peter tries the web launcher the tables and chairs on the street change number and position through shots: They are arranged parallel to each other and have the following amount of chairs: First table has 3 chairs, second 2, third 1 and fourth 2. In the close-up, all tables have 2 chairs; the first three tables are parallel, yet a fourth one is behind the third table. Peter also knocks down a table or chair which appears standing in the final shot.
Continuity mistake: When Peter, in his beta-suit, traps the thief, a woman behind, holding a flower bouquet, disappears in the final shot.
Continuity mistake: During The Lizard's attack on the bridge, he throws the car with Doctor Ratha in off a bridge. Peter then catches the car with a web. Yet as soon as he notices The Lizard, not only is the web not in his hand anymore, but there's no sign of it hanging over the bridge either. Then the web and car reappear in the wide shot where Peter swings over to get the boy out of the car.
Continuity mistake: In the scene at school when Gwen invites Peter to have dinner at her house, Peter initially removes both earphones when Gwen talks to him, but when Gwen asks about the bruise in Peter's eye and the camera angle shifts, the right earphone is still in his ear.
Continuity mistake: When Lizard launches Peter through a wall into a classroom, books and huge chunks of concrete fly above Peter, but when he lands and slides backwards they're suddenly gone.
Continuity mistake: When Peter falls through the roof and lands on the boxing ring, the planks on his body suddenly disappear.
Continuity mistake: After Peter leaves home and breaks the glass door, Ben places his hand on May's back. When the angle changes it's on her shoulder.
Continuity mistake: During Peter and Lizard's fights by the lockers, watch the folder on the right side behind them. It sometimes faces a 9 o'clock direction, others an 8 o'clock.
Continuity mistake: At the deli, when the cops have shot down the Lizard, watch the back part of the robe, where the bag strap is: It swaps from a big open hole, to being split in two big sizes, to split in a big and a small size hole; all in a matter of frames, no sense whatsoever.
Continuity mistake: When the Lizard is cornered by the cops at the deli, note the column behind him: First it has 6 bullet holes, then after the shooting it's got 30, then in a brief close-up it's back to 6 holes.
Continuity mistake: When Peter is told that the thief that killed Uncle Ben has a star tattooed on his left arm, the way the thief steals the money from the cash register is slightly different from the first time we saw him do it. The scene was re-filmed.
Continuity mistake: When Peter throws the trophy out of the window during the fight between him and The Lizard, we can see that it breaks up and the damage of the trophy is all next to each other. But when he throws Gwen out of the window in a web, the damage from the trophy is at least a few feet away from each other.
Continuity mistake: When Peter is looking through his father's file in his bedroom, Uncle Ben comes in and starts playing with a Rubik's cube from Peter's desk. When he sets it down, the top and middle row are red and the bottom row is white. Shortly afterwards, when Peter is researching Doctor Connors on his computer, the top and middle rows are suddenly white and the bottom row is red (not fully solved, as another listed mistake claims).
Continuity mistake: While fighting against Lizard in the lab, Peter's jacket changes randomly from spotless to covered in dust, to partially covered in dust, back and forth.
Continuity mistake: Inside the school lab, the Lizard walks to Peter on the floor and a stool next to him suddenly appears for him to pick up.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Peter Parker goes back to his Aunt & Uncles house after his first Spidey-training session, he raids the fridge & freezer. When confronted by his Aunt & Uncle, the freezer door is slowly swinging open, but in the next shot, the freezer door next to his Aunt & Uncle is closed.
Visible crew/equipment: When Peter and Doctor Connors are talking in Doctor Connors' kitchen, a green screen is reflected in Doctor Connors' glasses.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the lizard and Spiderman are fighting in the sewers, the lizard scratches Spider-Man's chest, causing tears down the front of his suit and chest. He actually scratches straight down his chest, but from then on, whenever Spiderman's chest is shown the scratches are diagonally across him.

Friendship born from Boston bombing still strong for Salty
ATLANTA -- Marlins catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia first met Jeff Bauman of Chelmsford, Mass., when the Red Sox visited those injured by the bombings at last year's Boston Marathon. From there, a friendship was born.
"He made things easy," Saltalamacchia said. "We're in a hospital not knowing what to say, and he was like, 'Hey, you guys want to go to the store?' He just opened it up and was just a really cool guy."
Saltalamacchia texted Bauman -- who lost his legs in the bombings -- on Sunday night to congratulate him on his soon-to-be wife's pregnancy. He hopes Bauman will throw him batting practice during the upcoming offseason.
"He's got new legs, so he was walking on those," Saltalamacchia said. "They showed him out there [at Fenway Park] throwing BP to some of the guys for early BP, so that was pretty cool to see."
Saltalamacchia remembers the commotion and confusion surrounding the bombings that killed three and injured Bauman, among many others. The days that followed were filled with uncertainty for the Red Sox and the citizens of Boston.
"When we left, we had no answers," said Saltalamacchia, who first heard news of the bombings while boarding a team bus en route to the airport for a three-game road trip to Cleveland. "We had no clue what was going on."
Saltalamacchia and the Red Sox returned to Boston from Cleveland on April 18, but they did not play the Royals the next day as scheduled. The ongoing pursuit of suspects Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev led to an area-wide shutdown.
"We were on lockdown," Saltalamacchia said. "Kansas City came to town, and they weren't allowed to leave the hotel. We weren't allowed to leave our apartments. It was scary. We couldn't do anything."
Even after police captured Dzhokhar, Saltalamacchia said there was tension as the Red Sox and Royals headed to Fenway Park on April 20.
"It was a lot of emotion because everyone's been locked up a few days trying to figure out what's going on. Is there going to be another attack? Is this it?" Saltalamacchia said. "So going to the park that day, I think a lot of guys were a little scared. First big-venue game after all this, what's going to happen?"
But Saltalamacchia said the first game back in Boston and the experiences he shared with the victims last year is something that "sticks in your mind forever." Despite leaving Boston to sign with Miami during the offseason, Saltalamacchia remains close with Bauman and others he met in the tragedy's aftermath.
"I can remember everyone I went and visited that day," Saltalamacchia said of his first encounter with the victims. "I'm not really good with faces or names, but that just kind of sticks in your mind. They came out to the stadium a lot, all of the victims, and we honored them as much as possible, because they were heroes in our minds."

Saturday 15th September was another scorcher at the Auto Club Speedway, but the season finale was anything but boring. The Californian fans were kept on the edge of their seats until the very end of the 250-lap race that offered plenty of excitement but also some disappointment.
On Lap 15, Lotus driver Simona de Silvestro came into the pits and parked. The Lotus HVM Racing team was concerned about some over-boost issues, and felt it would be better to end her day at that moment. It was a heartbreaking moment for De Silvestro, for the team and for the Lotus staff, as everyone would have wanted to end the season on a happy note.
Tom Brown, technical director for Lotus HVM Racing: "We had over-boost issues right away and started to work on it," said . "It's an issue that plagued us all weekend. We had no pulling power and that was not a good situation to be in, at this track."
Simona de Silvestro commented on her weekend and her season: "It was a frustrating season, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, she said. We worked really hard to get the car ready and hoped that we would be competitive. I feel bad for the team. They worked crazy hours replacing two engines this weekend and it would have been nice to have been able to finish the season on a high note. We learned a lot this season and have to take that into what we expect to be a much better year next year."
Vincent Pereme, Motorsport Engine Manager for Lotus Racing commented: "We had a trouble-free race on the engine side, but the team decided to retire 15 laps after the start of the race. Maybe it was due to the car settings, or the way the driver was feeling, it seems that the team considered it dangerous to keep going into the race in those conditions.
The positive point is that the engine did work well today, even if we all know that we were dramatically lacking in performance.
This is the end of a difficult season for Lotus, as a new IndyCar engine manufacturer, but we were up against two heavyweights in the series, GM and Honda. At least we understand now that it is important for us to go back and look at this program and prepare it properly before going back on track to challenge our competitors. We learned a lot this season even if it has been disappointing in terms of results and performance. We want to keep fighting and show that we are able to compete, and hope to be on track again soon."
The Race
On Lap 55, points leader Will Power caught a seam in Turn 2 of the 2-mile oval, spun and made contact with the SAFER Barrier, leaving Ryan Hunter-Reay to chase after the Championship title. While everyone thought it was over for Power, the Penske team went back to the garage, fixed the chassis and the Aussie driver was able to rejoin the field for 11 laps. This gave Power the chance to move up one position and gain one more point in the standings. However, that was not enough, as Ryan-Hunter Reay finished fourth to capture the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Championship title for Andretti Autosport.
Ed Carpenter (#20 – Ed Carpenter Racing) won the race itself, earning his second IZOD IndyCar Series victory for the second consecutive year in the finale, followed by Dario Franchitti (#10 – Target Chip Ganassi Racing), with Scott Dixon (#9 – Target Chip Ganassi Racing) finishing third and Helio Castroneves (#3 – Team Penske) in fifth position.

Vienna's operatic tradition goes back to the early 18th century, when most performances
took place at the imperial court. In December 1857, Emperor Franz Joseph I decreed that the
old inner-city fortifications would be torn down, and a broad boulevard, the Ring,
featuring new magnificent buildings dedicated to the various cultural and political
institutions, would be built in their place. Both the court theaters for drama and opera
would be relocated to the Ring. The opera house opened on May 25, 1869, with a performance
of Mozart's Don Giovanni. The opera's popularity grew under its first
directors-Franz von Dingelstedt, Johann von Herbeck, Franz von Jauner, and Wilhelm
Jahn-culminating in the directorship of Gustav Mahler (1897-1907). Between 1938 and 1945,
many members of the theater were persecuted, banished, or assassinated by the National
Socialists, and many operas were banned. During World War II, the house was almost totally
destroyed during a bombing raid, and it was uncertain whether the institution would
survive. However, the State Opera in the Volksoper reopened on May 1, 1945, with a
performance of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, and on October 6, 1945, the restored
Theater an der Wien reopened with a performance of Fidelio. There were now two
theaters where performances could take place while the opera house itself was restored.
(Only the main facade, the grand staircase, the emperor's tea room, and the Schwind-Foyer
had been spared from the bombs.) On November 5, 1955, the house, which now featured a new
auditorium and modernized stage machinery, reopened with a performance of
Throughout the opera's history, the greatest interpreters have performed at the house, and
important masterpieces have received world premieres there, including Massenet's
Werther and Strauss's Viennese version of Ariadne auf Naxos as well
as his Die Frau ohne Schatten. In addition to Mahler, Richard Strauss, Clemens
Krauss, Karl Böhm, Herbert von Karajan, and Lorin Maazel have served as directors. Today,
the Vienna State Opera is among the most important opera houses in the world, offering more
than 300 performances of 60 different operas and ballets each season. The artistic pillars
of the opera house are a regular ensemble of singers; the ballet ensemble (Vienna State
Ballet); the Vienna State Opera Orchestra, from which the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
recruits its members; the Vienna State Opera Chorus; and the stage orchestra, in addition
to guest singers, dancers, and conductors. Dominique Meyer is director, Franz Welser-Möst
is general music director, and Manuel Legris is director of the Vienna State Ballet. Visit
wiener-staatsoper.at for more information.
There is perhaps no other musical ensemble more consistently and closely associated with
the history and tradition of European classical music than the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra (VPO). In the course of its 172-year history, the musicians of this most
prominent orchestra of the capital city of music have been an integral part of a musical
epoch that-thanks to an abundance of uniquely gifted composers and interpreters-must
certainly be regarded as unique. Additionally, the orchestra's extensive touring schedule,
prolific recordings, and global television broadcasts allow its artistry to be experienced
around the world.
The orchestra's close association with this rich musical history is best illustrated by
the statements of countless preeminent musical personalities of the past. Richard Wagner
described the orchestra as being one of the most outstanding in the world; Anton Bruckner
called it "the most superior musical association"; Johannes Brahms counted himself a
"friend and admirer"; Gustav Mahler claimed to be joined together through "the bonds of
musical art"; and Richard Strauss summarized these sentiments by saying, "All praise of the
Vienna Philharmonic reveals itself as understatement."
The Vienna State Opera Orchestra holds a special relationship with the private association
known as the Vienna Philharmonic. In accordance with Philharmonic statutes, only a member
of the Vienna State Opera Orchestra can become a member of the Vienna Philharmonic. The
engagement in the Vienna State Opera Orchestra provides the musicians a financial stability
that would be impossible to attain without relinquishing their autonomy to private or
corporate sponsors. Over the course of more than a century and a half, this chosen path of
democratic self-administration has experienced slight modifications, but has never been
substantially altered. The foremost ruling body of the organization is the orchestra
The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's mission is to communicate the humanitarian message of
music into the daily lives and consciousness of its listeners. For more than a decade, the
VPO has given benefit concerts in support of humanitarian causes around the world, and
since 1999, it makes an annual donation of 100,000 Euros from its New Year's Concert to a
variety of international charitable organizations. In 2005, the orchestra was named
Goodwill Ambassador for the World Health Organization, and has served as an official
Goodwill Ambassador for IIASA (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis) since
2012. As of November 2008, Rolex is the worldwide presenting sponsor of the Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra. The musicians endeavor to implement the motto with which Ludwig van
Beethoven, whose symphonic works served as a catalyst for the creation of the orchestra,
prefaced his Missa solemnis: "From the heart, to the heart."
One of today's most celebrated conductors, Franz Welser-Möst leads two of the world's
great cultural institutions, as general music director of the Vienna State Opera and music
director of The Cleveland Orchestra.
Mr. Welser-Möst's long partnership with the Vienna State Opera has included several
acclaimed new productions, with a focus on German as well as Italian and Slavic operas and
the cultivation of traditional and new repertoires and innovative projects. In his first
two seasons as general music director, he conducted the critically praised new productions
of Hindemith's Cardillac, Janáček's Káťa Kabanová and From the House of the Dead, and
Verdi's Don Carlo. During the 2013-2014 season, he leads new productions of Puccini's La
fanciulla del West and Janáček's The Cunning Little Vixen; revivals of last season's
acclaimed stagings of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos; and the
company's longstanding major productions of Fidelio, Parsifal, La bohème, and Der
Rosenkavalier. In summer 2014, he will conduct Der Rosenkavalier at the Salzburg
The 2013-2014 season also marks Mr. Welser-Möst's 12th year with The Cleveland
Orchestra, a relationship that in 2008 was extended through the orchestra's centennial year
in 2018. With the orchestra, he has built close relationships with Carnegie Hall and
Lincoln Center, giving performances of Bruckner symphonies in 2011 and Strauss's Salome in
2012 that achieved outstanding success. He and the orchestra also hold regular residencies
at Vienna's Musikverein, at the Salzburg and Lucerne festivals, and in Miami.
As a guest conductor, Mr. Welser-Möst enjoys an exceptionally close and productive
relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and in 2013, he had the honor of
leading the orchestra's celebrated New Year's Concert for the second time in three years.
Recordings of both appearances have reached double-platinum status. He has also performed
with the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg and Lucerne festivals, the BBC Proms, Tokyo's
Suntory Hall, the Sommernachtskonzert at Schönbrunn Palace, and on a regular basis as part
of the orchestra's subscription series at the Musikverein.
Mr. Welser-Möst's recordings, both on CD and DVD, have won a number of major awards,
including the Gramophone Award, Diapason d'Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and two
Grammy nominations. He is the recipient of many honors, including honorary membership in
the Wiener Singverein and Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, the Gold Medal of Upper
Austria, the Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria, and the Kilenyi Medal of
Honour from the Bruckner Society of America. He was named Conductor of the Year by Musical
America in 2003, and is an Academician of the European Academy of Yuste.
An internationally sought-after vocalist and frequent guest at renowned festivals and
concert halls, Matthias Goerne has collaborated with leading orchestras and conductors
worldwide. Since making his operatic debut as Papageno in Die Zauberflöte at
the Salzburg Festival in 1997, he has appeared on the world's principal opera stages,
including the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; Teatro Real in Madrid; Opéra de Paris;
Vienna State Opera; and the Metropolitan Opera.
Engagements in the 2013-2014 season include Lutosławski's Les espaces du
sommeil with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, a tour
with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, and performances of Britten's War
Requiem with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston and Chicago
symphony orchestras. In addition, he appears as soloist with the National Symphony
Orchestra in Washington, DC; Dallas Symphony Orchestra; Orchestre de Paris; Leipzig
Gewandhaus Orchestra; NHK Symphony Orchestra; Hong Kong Philharmonic; and National
Philharmonic of Russia. At the Vienna State Opera, Mr. Goerne sings Kurwenal in Tristan
und Isolde, Amfortas in Parsifal, and the title role in Berg's
Recital engagements include appearances at Carnegie Hall, Chicago's Symphony Center,
Théâtre des Champs Élysées in Paris, the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, Kioi Hall in Tokyo, and
the Zurich Opera House, with pianists Piotr Anderszewski, Leif Ove Andsnes, Christoph
Eschenbach, Andreas Haefliger, and Alexander Schmalcz. In summer 2014, Mr. Goerne sings
Schubert's Winterreise at the Vienna and Aix-en-Provence festivals.
Mr. Goerne was an honorary professor of song interpretation at the Robert Schumann Academy
of Music in Düsseldorf from 2001 to 2005. In 2001, he was appointed an honorary member of
the Royal Academy of Music in London. A native of Weimar, he studied with Hans-Joachim
Beyer in Leipzig, and later with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

The Vienna State Opera Chorus consists of 92 permanently employed professional singers. It
makes up one of the pillars of the Vienna State Opera, alongside soloists, orchestra,
ballet, and technical staff. On average, the chorus appears on the Vienna State Opera's
stage on 250 evenings and in 55 different operas each year. For engagements outside the
Vienna State Opera-which include annual appearances at the Salzburg Festival-the chorus is
known as the Concert Association of the Vienna State Opera Chorus (founded in 1927). The
chorus's broad repertoire, which is broadened each season, encompasses major operas,
operettas, and concert works. This varied repertoire, which includes concert pieces,
masses, oratorios, and a cappella works, is extraordinary for an opera chorus. Thomas Lang
has served as chorus director since 2006.
Now in its 22nd season, the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus (BYC) is one of the
country's leading children's choruses and is the ensemble of choice for internationally
renowned orchestras and artists. Under the direction of Founder and Artistic Director
Dianne Berkun-Menaker, BYC has an international reputation for programmatic and artistic
The BYC studies and performs a wide range of music-classical and nonclassical-and has an
active commissioning program to develop new works across a variety of genres. It has
performed with renowned artists such as Elton John, Lou Reed, John Legend, and Grizzly
Bear, and has performed under the batons of Lorin Maazel, Marin Alsop, James Levine, Robert
Spano, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Leon Botstein, and many others. In 2002, BYC debuted with the New
York Philharmonic in John Adams's On the Transmigration of Souls, for which the
BYC won a Grammy Award.
The BYC receives its training from the Brooklyn Youth Chorus Academy, a performance-based
vocal music education program serving nearly 300 students annually in five ensembles. It
draws students from all over the city and reflects the broad diversity of the metropolitan

J.D. Martinez optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- One year after beginning the season as the Astros' starting left fielder, J.D. Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday when it became apparent to the team he wasn't going to beat out Fernando Martinez, Rick Ankiel or Brandon Barnes.
Martinez hit .298 with one homer and four RBIs this spring, but the club has settled on Chris Carter starting in left field and Justin Maxwell in center, and is leaning toward Ankiel in right. The Astros would rather see Martinez play every day than come off the bench, and he'll get that chance in Oklahoma City.
"We see J.D. as an everyday outfielder, and when you switch to the American League, it's hard to get our fourth or fifth outfielders a lot of playing time because the fact you're not doing as many double switches," general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "He's going to play a lot, and right now we couldn't guarantee him that amount of playing time at the big league level given that we're going to the American League and given that Fernando Martinez and Brandon Barnes and Maxwell and Ankiel have all played very, very well."
Martinez, 25, burst onto the scene midway through the 2011 season, getting promoted from Double-A and taking over Hunter Pence's slot in the lineup when he was traded to Philadelphia. He hit .241 with 11 homers and a team-leading 55 RBIs last year in Houston and also played 23 games at Oklahoma City -- his only Triple-A experience.

Comments about Michael Kors Island Capri Perfume:
I find that this fragrance is really similar to ClubMed's fragrance "My Ocean", but a little less nautical and a little more citrussy (sp?). I prefer the original Kors scent to this one because the original feels solid and voluptuous, whereas this one is a bit airy. It is very light and simple though, and I definitely pick up fruity things like Kiwi.

A RECENT IJ editorial debated whether Novato needs a new charter school. I am a Novato parent and founding board member of North Bay Educational Foundation, the K-8 charter school proposed. I am excited to bring forth this educational option.
Charters are public schools open to all who wish to attend. The school will be based on Core Knowledge — a rigorous, sequential curriculum rich in language arts, history, geography, math, science, art and music. The breadth of subjects taught each year far exceeds what is being taught in Novato elementary schools. Core Knowledge repeats subjects each year in an age appropriate way so knowledge builds or spirals. This encourages children to build cognitive connections between diverse subjects, while ensuring that rich, specific content provides a level playing field for students no matter their incoming cultural knowledge base.
E.D. Hirsch, who developed Core Knowledge, said, "Our society cannot afford a two-tiered system in which the affluent have access to a superior education, while everyone else is subjected to a dull and incoherent classroom experience. Academic excellence, educational equity and fairness demand a strong foundation of knowledge for all learners."
We agree 100 percent and are committed to creating a school that will offer a unique educational approach and benefit Novato's diverse students. One of the primary reasons the founders of NBEF brought forth this petition was to address the achievement gap that exists in Novato public schools. Currently more than two thirds of white students in Novato elementary schools are proficient in language arts while only about one third of Latino and socio-economically disadvantaged students are proficient, according to the most recent state Department of Education reports.
The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights of San Francisco wrote a letter with concerns about whether the new school will serve a diverse range of students. Its analysis was based primarily on the parent signatures in the NBEF petition and its conclusion may stem from some confusion around the charter petition process. Petition signatures are meant to show sufficient parental interest from the community to move the process to the district for their review. As signatories are provided no special enrollment preference and represent about half the projected student body, it is impossible to predict the school's demographics from signatures gathered.
Most charter school outreach typically occurs after the school is approved and a location secured, neither of which has yet happened. NBEF's petition includes a detailed outreach plan. NBEF applied for and was recently notified of its conditional approval for the competitive California Charter Start-up Grant, which includes money specifically earmarked to execute this outreach to the Latino and socio-economically disadvantaged communities.
The IJ editorial also raised concerns about the impact the new charter school might have on NUSD's strained finances.
In California, the funding follows the student, whether they decide to attend a Novato Unified school, a public charter school or a public school in another district, and so does the cost to educate that child, including teacher salaries and benefits, staff training and development, books and supplies.
We think this new school, when viewed under fair and reasonable assumptions, is largely budget neutral to NUSD, and under favorable assumptions, may be financially advantageous to the district by attracting Novato families in private schools back to the district or by retaining those who are considering moving or enrolling their children outside the district. While financial considerations are important, the petition should be evaluated on what Novato students will gain. Their needs should come first.
One size doesn't fit all. Too many students in Novato are falling through the cracks and too many families are leaving NUSD for private schools or moving to attend public schools south of Novato. We need a new innovative option for families to stay in public school in Novato.
Robert Verhoeff is a parent and business owner in Novato and one of the founders of North Bay Educational Foundation, the organization hoping to open a new Core Knowledge K-8 charter school in Novato.

A man who downloaded and catalogued hundreds of images of child abuse, as well as extreme adult pornography, has been spared an immediate jail term.
Christopher Booth, 20, of Glebe Road, Royal Wootton Bassett, also created lewd collages involving local schoolboys, although this was not said to be a criminal offence.
After hearing that the database director at Virgin Media was just a teenager when he committed the offences a judge imposed a suspended sentence.
Colin Meeke, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court on Friday that police were investigating other matters when they took his computers and storage media in June 2012.
But officers soon found he had folders which were full of vile pictures and movies of children as young as 18 months being abused.
Mr Meeke said a total of 1,089 indecent image of children which had either been saved, deleted, or in unallocated clusters, were counted on the machine.
He told the court detectives now stop counting when they get to a certain amount in a category of image to speed up the investigation.
The collages of local schoolboys were described as "not an offence but indicative of his proclivities," said Mr Meeke.
Booth pleaded guilty to having indecent images of children and extreme pornography.
Tim Greaves, defending, handed the court a letter from his client's father, but added he had not been told of the full extent of his son's offending.
He said the offending took place over fours starting when Booth was 15.
Since his arrest in 2012 he said the matter had been hanging over his head and he had told no-one about it until the past few days.
He said his client comes from a "respectable and hard working family" and he has to face the stigma and shame of what he has done and his job as a database director with Virgin Media may now be at risk.
He said: "These were the actions of a young curious man. He has had the stress and worry of this hanging over him for two years."
Recorder Nicholas Atkinson QC said: "Many of the images having been saved and filed by you are dreadful sexual images of children.
"One is never sure whether they are sexual or simply perverted, sadistic and cruel images. You have spent hours in the dark over many years looking over such images.
"The damage to he children is physical, mental and psychological and potentially long lasting.
"The demand of people like you, who wish to view the matter, guarantees more and more material will be created causing more and more suffering to children.
"Your assaults on these children are through your computer. You have brought shame on your family."
He imposed a 12 month jail term suspended for two years with supervision and a sex offenders' treatment programme.

C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. and its retail partners have raised $180,000 for breast cancer research this year.
The Eden Prairie, Minn.-based company has now raised $870,000 since 2008 through its MelonUp! Pink Ribbon watermelon program, according to a C.H. Robinson news release.
Created in 2007, MelonUp! Pink Ribbon gives retailers the opportunity to promote the healthful benefits of watermelon and incorporate a cause-marketing component into their merchandising strategy.
Through MelonUp! Pink Ribbon, C.H. Robinson has supported several charity events, including the Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure series. In several of the race events, C.H. Robinson employees participated in the race as a team with co-workers and family members or handed out slices of watermelon to race attendants as a snack.
Also this year, C.H. Robinson donated watermelon to the Sunland-Tujunga Lion's Club's 52nd Annual Watermelon Festival at the Rose Bowl, and to the Cub Foods booth at the Minnesota State Fair.
The program is supported by marketing tools including the "A Sweet Way to Stay Healthy" blog, a Facebook page with over 20,500 likes and — the most recent addition — Watermelon that Wows!, an interactive mobile app available at the Apple App Store.
"C.H. Robinson is proud to be able to collaborate with retailers in order to fund breast cancer research efforts that affect so many people today," Joshua Knox, C.H. Robinson strategic category manager, said in the release. "Over the past five years, the success of MelonUp! Pink Ribbon has allowed watermelon to shine as a healthy snack and as a way to make a larger impact."

Phillies can't shake offensive funk vs. Fish
PHILADELPHIA -- The news that Roy Halladay is likely headed for the disabled list with shoulder problems all but obscured another piece of bad news for the Phillies in Sunday's 14-2 loss to the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park.
Their offense continues to take an unexcused absence.
After they were shut out on one hit Saturday night, the Phillies were content to credit Marlins starter Jose Fernandez. On Sunday, however, they got only two hits in seven innings against right-hander Kevin Slowey and just four overall. Slowey earned his first win since Sept. 18, 2010.
"Let me tell you something," said manager Charlie Manuel. "I sit there and watch our guys. When the game starts, we're up and ready to play. Then we have trouble scoring runs and hitting the ball consistently. And we're going to struggle until we start hitting the ball better and making better contract. Yeah, we're going to struggle. We've got to come out and get runners on base and hit the ball.
"And I'll say this: With the lineup we've got, we'd better get some extra-base hits. Because we're not getting a whole lot out of our speed right now."
The Phillies have scored three or fewer runs in 18 of their 32 games this season and have been shut out five times in their last 19 games. When the Phillies broke a 20-inning scoreless streak with a pair of cosmetic runs in the eighth, what remained of the sellout crowd of 45,276 responded with mock cheers.

Pritch: I'll strengthen this summer
3:30pm Friday 25th April 2014
By Andrew Simpson
3:30pm Friday 25th April 2014
By Andrew Simpson
MANAGER Brian Pritchard says Witton's squad will look different by the end of the summer.
Albion, promotion play-offs semi finalists last season, can finish the current campaign no higher than 15th place in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League's top tier.
"I'll be making changes," he said.
"I know where I need to strengthen, and have a plan in place already to do exactly that.
"The past couple of home performances have confirmed things that I suspected already, and I'm going to do something about it."
Witton, who lost 4-2 at home to Rushall Olympic on Easter Monday, travel to play-offs
contenders Ashton United for their final Premier Division match tomorrow, Saturday.
They have been beaten twice by the Robins already this season, including a 2-1 reverse in the FA Cup in September.
Successive defeats at Wincham Park, during which his team has conceded eight goals, has persuaded Pritchard he needs to be busy in the transfer market in the close season.
He said: "The second half [against Rushall] on Monday was our season in a nutshell.
"Individual errors have cost us goals too often, and that's why we're 23 points behind Ashton in fifth place.
"We've survived and won't be relegated, but we should still be trying to improve.
"I've set the players a target of reaching 60 points, which we'll achieve if we win at the weekend, and that will at least salvage something positive for us to build on.
"I think we've let ourselves down in the past two games in front of our fans, so we owe it to them to sign off with a victory."
Witton have won the past two matches away from Northwich, at Matlock Town and then Barwell.
Meanwhile Pritchard will wait until the latest possible moment for defensive duo Rob Bodie (shin) and Ben Harrison (groin) to prove they are fit enough to feature at Hurst Cross.

I've been making a lot of bags lately. It started before Christmas and I haven't stopped yet.
I made at least 6 to give as gifts... one for myself... and others for my Etsy Shop, both tote bags and clutch bags. I don't know what it is but I just really enjoy the process of sewing totes and clutches. Could it be because I keep it simple and can see a finished product in less than a day? At any rate - springtime is the perfect excuse to switch to a new bag, no matter how large or small. I prefer LARGE bags, but I'm a weirdo.
Here are two of my favorites so far:
(Left - Amy Butler Wall Flower in Apricot, Right - canvas from Ikea)
Not so surprisingly , they've both sold :-) I need to get more striped canvas from Ikea! LOVE their fabric! And SO affordable! Check it out here. They carry lightweight cotton (quilting weight) AND home dec fabric! Hopefully you're lucky enought to live within driving distance.

MARTINSRIED, GERMANY and MUNICH, GERMANY--(Marketwire - November 12, 2012) - MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; Prime Standard Segment, TecDAX) today announced that
subcutaneous administration of its HuCAL-based monoclonal antibody MOR103
safe and well tolerated and demonstrated a favorable and competitive
pharmacokinetic profile in a clinical Phase I study in healthy volunteers.
competitive pharmacokinetic profile is demonstrated by a half-life of 17
and good bioavailability supporting subcutaneous administration of MOR103
future clinical trials. Furthermore, the high neutralizing potency was
shown to
be comparable to the intravenous administration.
Subcutaneous injection represents a more convenient route of administration
patients and the data will help guide dosing regimens for future clinical
with MOR103. The phase 1 pharmacokinetic study was conducted in 32 healthy
volunteers and sequentially assessed single doses of 0.5, 1.0 and 2 mg/kg
administered subcutaneously compared to 2 mg/kg MOR103 after single
dosing in cohorts of 8 volunteers.
"We are very pleased with these data showing that a subcutaneous
of our MOR103 antibody is a feasible and attractive option for the future
treatment of various inflammatory diseases with this compound," commented
Arndt Schottelius, Chief Development Officer of MorphoSys AG. "In addition
the excellent safety and efficacy data we have presented seven weeks ago,
today's news adds another valuable component to the broad commercial and
scientific package we are building around our anti GM-CSF program."
MOR103 has concluded a phase 1b/2a clinical trial evaluating the compound
rheumatoid arthritis. The efficacy and safety data observed underline
potential to become a first-in-class treatment modality for RA patients,
with a
novel and differentiated mechanism of action. Additionally, MOR103 is
being evaluated in a phase 1b dose-escalation study in multiple sclerosis.

Trials to resume Wednesday
Two felony trials will resume Wednesday after a break for the holidays.
Jurors began deliberating before the break in the case of Maurice Ainsworth, who faces a litany of charges stemming from a 2009 home invasion and a 2010 escape.
Ainsworth, 26, was awaiting trial in the home invasion case when he allegedly attacked a Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputy and escaped from custody. That set off a five-hour manhunt during which he is alleged to have held a Russian couple at gunpoint and invaded a preschool.
Also resuming Wednesday is the trial of 43-year-old Richard Chavez, who is accused of killing his girlfriend in February 2010 at their Felton home during an alcohol-fueled argument. The prosecution will continue presenting witnesses.
Suspected drug deal nets two
A Santa Cruz woman was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs for sale after police recovered several kinds of illicit drugs and nearly $2,000 cash in her vehicle about 11 p.m. Sunday on West Cliff Drive near Chico Avenue.
Deputy Chief Steve Clark said Angelica Hilldale, 26, was booked into County Jail on multiple counts after police recovered 1.5 ounces of crack cocaine, nearly an ounce of powder cocaine, 17 ounces of marijuana and nine grams of heroin. Prescription pills, scales and multiple cellphones were also recovered from her vehicle, Clark said.
Ishmele Brewer, 32, of Livingston, was arrested in a nearby vehicle and booked into County Jail on suspicion of violating parole. Clark said officers believe he was the intended buyer of the drugs.
Police discovered the two suspects after area neighbors reported their two vehicles as suspicious, Clark said.
No new info in shooting
Watsonville police did not release more information Monday about the death of a man found with a gunshot wound to the head Saturday.
The 23-year-old man was found slumped over in a Cadillac sedan on northbound Freedom Boulevard Saturday afternoon with a handgun in his lap. He was pronounced dead later that night.
Police said Sunday the case appeared to be a suicide, but they were still investigating Monday.

18 Solutions for When Your Bob Starts to Grow Out
No matter your skin tone, a creamy concealer with a yellow base will counteract dark circles. Dot it under your eyes and on red areas like the corners of your nose and mouth. To blend, press and roll your ring finger over the dots. If you wear foundation, smooth that on next.
To cover veins and redness, pat an eyeshadow base one shade lighter than your skin all over your lids, up to the brow bones. Yes, you can just use concealer—but shadow base lasts longer.

Jim and JoeScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Jim and Joe were close brothers until Jim graduated from Yale and became a renowned scientist who made millions. Not wanting to be outdone, Joe invited Jim over to a mansion that he claimed was his. He showed Jim many wonderful things inside the house one of which was a golden statue.
"This was a little gift from a friend of mine," Joe said, rapping on it with his fist, "It's made out of pure gold. See? Even my powerful fist can't make a dent in it."
"I have to say, this is all impressive," Jim admitted, "but I know this is all fake, Joe."
How did Jim know Joe was lying?
AnswerIf Joe's statue was made of pure gold, it would've dented easily from Joe's fist. Pure gold scores only a 2.5 - 3 on the Mohs scale, and is easy to mold in your hands.

Woman gets 23 years in potty training abuse death
Fri, 12 Oct 2012 21:31:18 GMT —
FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) -- A 44-year-old woman will spend 23 years in prison for abusing a 3-year-old girl who died after burns she received as punishment during potty training were not treated.
Geraldine Brockington pleaded guilty to homicide by child abuse Friday. Her 24-year-old daughter Kesha Grant pleaded guilty to a similar charge earlier this week and was sentenced to 27 years in prison.
Authorities say Brockington wasn't in the room when Grant decided to punish Ty'Lashia Grant for urinating on herself by pouring pots of scalding water down the child's pants. But prosecutors say Brockington decided not to take the girl to the hospital. She died a week later from an infection.
Brockington apologized in court and said she accepted her punishment. The girl had been taken from her mother's home for neglect.

Printable Brochure (PDF)
The economic crisis of 2008 was a referendum on the failures of deregulation and neoliberal ideology all over the world. Far from being a sophisticated mechanism to absorb and diffuse systemic economic risk, the crisis exposed a fragile global financial system characterized by dysfunctional imbalances of increasingly precarious and largely unregulated risk societies.
In the United States, the social contract of class mobility and the "American Dream" financed with "easy" credit was exposed as an empty promise. In the European context, the sovereign debt crisis resulted in the imposition of draconian austerity measures in several nation-states, like Greece, undermining social safety nets and wage structures, rupturing traditional alliances, and driving down individual standards of living.
At the same time, the Occupy Movement - and similar movements across the globe - refocused attention on socio-economic inequality for the first time in decades. The old ways of seeing things proved inadequate for framing the changing realities of the new post-recession world. But whatever the initial shock to the social order, political and financial elites everywhere have since doubled down on the failed neoliberal project with a mania for balancing budgets in the name of discredited austerity policies which have only accelerated neoliberalism's upward transfer and concentration of wealth and intensified the class stratification in contemporary global societies.
Stuck in the grip of austerity groupthink and faced with nation states captured by elite interests - a trend only made worse in the United States by Citizens United - any movement forward will require creatively leveraging national political and legal systems as instruments for progressive economic change and deleveraging social class divides.
What are the possibilities and alternatives for a genuinely progressive economic project in an age of resurgent neoliberal policies and politics, worldwide shifts in population and demographics, and hegemonic economics? How can we address the challenges of our age including, but not limited to: globalization; shifting power relationships between the developed world and formerly "third world" countries; massive intergenerational and upward transfers of wealth; abject poverty; staggering debt; wage stagnation; a declining middle class; an increasingly dysfunctional food system; and environmental and climate risks that will require concerted national and international efforts.
Stuck in Forward? Debt, Austerity and the Possibilities of the Political will address these questions by bringing together scholars, economists, activists, policymakers, and others to critically examine and take stock of who wins, who loses, how the law facilitates the hierarchical and spatial distribution of winners and losers, and how we may use law and politics to develop both real and utopian interstitial spaces of classlessness within the new post-recession global order.

About ClassCrits
ClassCrits is a network of scholars and activists interested in critical analysis of law and the economy. The global economic crisis, along with growing economic inequality and insecurity, suggests it is time to explore alternatives to the neoclassical or "free market" economic paradigm, often identified with the U.S. "Law and Economics" movement. The aim is to revive discussions of questions of class pushed to the margins or relegated to the shadowy past, considering the possible meaning and relevance of economic class to the contemporary context. The hope is to better integrate the rich diversity of economic methods and theories into law by exploring and engaging non-neoclassical and heterodox economics.
The name "ClassCrits" reflects an interest in focusing on economics through the lens of critical legal scholarship movements, such as critical legal studies, critical feminist theory, critical race theory, LatCrit, and queer theory. That is, start with the assumption that economics in law is inextricably political and fundamentally tied to questions of systemic status-based subordination. The ClassCrits group, and the blog in particular, hopes to start a discussion that puts economic inequality at the center rather than at the margins of mainstream law.

Remove the label from the bottle. Discard label. Save cap! Wash and rinse out the bottle and cap. Draw a line on the bottle about 1/3 of the way up with the marker. Cut along that line so the bottle is in two pieces.
Push down with your finger in the soil to make a hole at an appropriate depth for the seeds or beans. It says on the seed packet whether to just sprinkle the seeds on the surface or put them deeper down. For dried beans, they need to be just below the surface of the soil.
Lightly spray the soil with water.
Slide the top of the bottle over the bottom, so they overlap slightly. Make sure you have left the cap on the bottle to keep a moist environment in the bottle.
Place in a sunny spot and watch for your seeds to grow! If you chose dried beans, you should see at least a tiny plant growing within two days.
Remember to spray a bit of water in the terrarium if it looks dry, but it should have enough water for a week.

Newberry's OCW- Question
Does the brass matter? I need 27 loads to complete my initial load development for my 308. I have plenty of Lake City brass already primed and prepped. Can I use this to establish my optimal charge weight even though I will use Lapua for my actual target load? I can use a mix of Hornady and Lapua but do not have enough Lapua for this 27 number. If it matters significantly I can fire form another 10 or so Lapua cases.

It's been some time since I read that process but if memory serves, he used mixed brass.

Makers use different thickness brass and the cases have different internal dimensions. So if you work up a load based upon one case that load will not work in another. They will be close. You could sort the brass by case water volume.

I don't recall seeing anywhere that he references what brass he uses. His instruction page is found here.
However, just going by what I know about the process, I would imagine that using mixed brass would not be the best idea. If the volume is close to the same then you shouldn't have any trouble but if the case volumes vary by much then you'll be developing different pressures, possibly effecting how well the powder burns and definitely effecting the muzzle velocity.
Whether or not it would be enough to matter, I have no idea. Probably, in a bench rest quality gun with a bench rest quality shooter, it would matter. For me, I would guess I couldn't tell. For you...?

Newberry's system applies to all brass, individually, but not to mixed brass for a given load. Especially not in .308 and .300 WM where the different case brands have a lot of capacity difference.
You'll see his preference on his recipe page. It is all Winchester brass. No other. Winchester .308 brass (avg. wt. 156 grains for the last 1000 I got) has about 1.9 grains more water capacity than Lapua (avg. wt. 172.5 grains for my lot), and Lapua has about 0.8 grains more water capacity than Lake City (avg. wt. 179.5 grains; I have examples from 177 to 182 grains, depending on year and whether it is match or NATO).
That's just too much change to expect a tuned load to carry over. Lapua will want about 1.2% more powder than Lake City, while Winchester will want about 2.7% more powder than Lapua to get a matching barrel time. These are figured for Varget under a 175 grain SMK, but even though these ratios are rough for other powder and bullet combinations, they will be close enough across the board to save you having to fire as many rounds in new round robins when you change brass, knowing roughly where you will land.
Keep in mind that case capacity is not the only factor. Neck tension differences from different neck hardness will have an effect, too. Other things that will make you refire are: different lengths and jacket thicknesses on different brands of same-weight bullets, different primer brands, different COL's. Just as you have to knock loads down and work back up with any component change, the same will happen to Newberry loads.

Newberry OCW-Question
Thanks fellows! I think I will fire form some more Lapua and keep every thing uniform (same brass, bullet, primer and oal) for this target load development. The great thing about this hobby is never having to worry that you know it all or have perfected anything beyond improvement.
Thanks, Bill Daniel

Let me restate what I don't think I communciated very clearly before: There is no guarantee of these loads working with mixed brass. Newberry looks for equal performance charge spans of at least 0.6 grains with his loads, and if you are shooting .223 Rem or some other round for which all brands of brass tend to have close or similar capacity, you may be just fine with one charge weight. But for .308 Winchester, the differences between brands are too great. You would need over 2.5 grains of Varget going from Lake City to Winchester to keep the same barrel time in the load I was looking at. That's way beyond the charge spans Newberry expects to achieve. Going from Lake City to Lapua .308 brass with the Varget load takes about 0.6 grains, so if I loaded at the high end of what I found with Lake City, the Lapua would just barely fall in with that same load being the low end of the span you would find developing the load in the Lapua cases. So the load might look good for both, but it won't leave much room for powder dispenser error. And it still won't hold up in Winchester.
You could get lucky and find something that works over a wider range than 0.6 grains. Hatcher tells of a coarse grain powder similar to IMR4320 that his arsenal loading equipment could only throw within an extreme spread of 1.7 grains for .30-06. Yet the ammunition loaded with it outperformed other, finer grain powders that could be thrown to within 0.6 grains on the same equipment. The coarse stuff wound up being the load for National Match ammunition the year he discovered it, and was used to set several records.
Good luck with it.

There is no load that can ignore different/mixed cases, bullets, etc. Therefore no load development method can ignore them. Well, not if we want to achieve much accuracy.

some brass can expand or contract differently, which will give different pressures. long story short if you want to make accurate loads stick with the same brass. i have Winchester and Remington brass.i usually will make one box Remington brass and another box Winchester brass.keep it consistent and keep it simple.

Once you do an OCW workup for each brand of brass you'll find out whether or not you can mix brands interchangeably.
Believe it or not I get very good performance from the same charge of 4064 in Lake City brass as I do in Winchester brass, no need to rezero the rifle. Of course 4064 is a "slow" powder for 308 and so it isn't totally burnt before the bullet is moving down the bore and increasing the effective chamber volume. Your experience with a different powder (or different brands of brass) may differ.
Machine guns are awesome until you have to carry one.

I can not speak for .308 as I do not load for it. I do load for .223 and used the OCW method with matching head stamps, and then just as a curiosity did it again with mixed head stamps to see how much of a differance it would make. The results were that the loads were more acurate than I can shoot.
Though the variance between .308 and .223 is probably a big one.
I rember reading part of the reason for his method was you would find a load that could go .3 grains either way with consitantly similar performance if you changed to a different head stamp, or lot of brass.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

Winchester brass in .308 is significantly bigger than military 7.62 NATO brass. The weight difference I've measured is as much as 33 grains as little as 19 grains. Winchester weight control isn't very tight, spanning about 6 grains in that chambering. In .30-06 the weight difference is much less. I've seen as little as 4 grains difference from LC to as much as 12 grains difference, depending what lot it was. In .223, the difference from other brands is quite small, being within a couple of grains in many instances, which is about like the difference you see in 0.10—0.15 grains of powder. Negligible.

Two days after a longtime Vacaville man was gunned down outside a North Dakota club, authorities captured and arrested the man who is believed to be responsible for his killing.
Derrick Spiegel, a 28-year-old husband and father of two, was shot and killed just before 1 p.m. Saturday, outside a bar in Williston, N.D.
Details are still scarce as Williston police remain tightlipped over the shooting. However, according to local news reports, the suspect, identified as Jonathan Peter Horvath, 46, was taken into custody around 11:15 a.m. Monday near Billings, Mont.
According to KTVQ, Spiegel and Horvath been arguing outside Heartbreakers, a Gentleman's Club in downtown Williston, when the shooting occurred.
A tip led authorities "to a trailer home on Danford Road near Interstate 90" in Billings, the TV station reported. Horvath was not in the home at the time, but was taken into custody approximately two hours later following a brief foot pursuit.
The news of Horvath's arrest was quickly posted on a memorial Facebook page, "RIP Derrick Spiegel," where memories, photos and thoughts are being shared in Spiegel's honor. In hours, the announcement had more than 500 "likes."
Family and friends expressed their great relief mingled with condolences for the tragic loss of life.
"Very good news. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm so sorry for your loss," one commented.
Another added: "Praise the lord they caught him, Justice can finally be served!!"
The outpouring of emotional and financial support continued on the Derrick Spiegel Memorial page.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends at this time. God bless you all," a supporter wrote, following a generous donation to the Speigel family. In two days, the site has raised approximately $3,395.
Spiegel, a construction worker at McCody Concrete Building Division, had recently moved to Williston from Vacaville, where he had lived almost his entire life. He leaves behind his wife, Jessica, and two children.
Friends told The Reporter plans are being made to bring Spiegel's body back to Vacaville for a hometown funeral.
