Few people apparently knew much about what was happening at 11 Coach Lane in Barnstable until Ann Gryboski shot and killed Lancaster on Easter Sunday. She told police she killed him as he came at her when she attempted to break up a fight between him and their 25-year-old son, Christopher.

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. - Dana Mohler-Faria had spent the day in Boston. Instead of going home to his wife and son on the Bridgewater State College campus, the college president stopped by the Student Government Association meeting.

Surge in killings outrages Oakland

A camera mounted at Gallagher's Liquors caught details from an earlier shooting, and the neighbors want more of them, he said.

Janet Patterson, a resident manager at ACORN in West Oakland, said community members are organizing and supporting all sorts of worthy programs in an effort to get young people engaged, but it never seems to be enough. She said it's easy to feel hopeless when she sees the same faces on the street morning and night.

Does she have a solution?

"That's a million-dollar question with no answer," Patterson said. "We had a good opportunity to get the guns back, but this killing is still going on.

"We have all these block parties and picnics to get to know each other, but the people who are armed with all the guns are not the ones participating in the solutions."

Fraud US-Style: Fake Videos and Elections

First the videos with bin Laden ones Exhibit A. He always seems to pop up strategically at well-timed moments, almost like we planned it that way. Evidence points that way. Consider the one on Friday (September 7) before the sixth 9/11 anniversary in 2007. Digital image forensics expert, Neal Krawetz of Hactor Factor, said it was full of low quality visual and audio splices, a likely fake. Striking also was bin Laden's beard that was gray in recent images. In this video, it's black. In addition, the footage has him dressed in a white hat and shirt and yellow sweater, precisely his same attire on an October 29, 2004 video. In addition, the background, lighting, desk and camera angle are the same. Krawetz noted that "if you overlay the 2007 and 2004 videos, bin Laden's face is the same (unaged).

Notes: Buehrle aligned for Opening Day

TUCSON, Ariz. -- The pitching alignment for the White Sox first week of Cactus League action was released Friday afternoon. And without manager Ozzie Guillen making the news 100 percent official, the spring setup seems to line up Mark Buehrle for his sixth Opening Day start in the past seven years.

Buehrle gets the call for two innings to open Monday's intrasquad game, followed by Javier Vazquez being scheduled for two in Tuesday's intrasquad action. John Danks opens the regular portion of the Arizona schedule on Wednesday afternoon at Tucson Electric Park, followed by Jose Contreras on Thursday at Hi Corbett Field.

According to Guillen's comments earlier in the week, the rotation's third spot would have a direct bearing on the rotation's top spot as he didn't want Buehrle and Danks pitching back-to-back.
