MINDEN, Nev. – A Nevada man faces misdemeanor charges after authorities say he carried his mother out of a church when she arrived to stop his wedding.
The Record-Courier reports Justin Lew Harris of Gardnerville carried his 56-year-old mother out of the church Monday as she loudly objected to the ceremony.
Harris' wedding at the Carson Valley United Methodist Church was called off after the disruption, church volunteer Jim Jameson said. Jameson didn't know what the mother's objections concerned.
Harris, 35, faces disorderly conduct and coercion charges. He was released from the Douglas County Jail on his own recognizance Wednesday.
East Fork Justice Tom Perkins urged Harris to treat family members with respect after the mother indicated she wanted contact with him, the newspaper reported. Perkins ordered Harris to return to court for a hearing Nov. 2.
Deputy District Attorney Karen Dustman didn't immediately return a call seeking comment on the case from The Associated Press on Friday, and no phone listing for Harris could be found.
The town of Gardnerville is about 50 miles south of Reno.
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. – A note to would-be crooks channeling their favorite superheroes: Just because you're wearing the mask, it doesn't mean you have super powers.
Authorities in North Carolina say a sword-wielding bandit wearing a Spider-Man mask walked into a convenience store Wednesday morning and demanded money.
The Onslow County Sheriff's Office says the clerk pulled out a broom and poked the suspect in the stomach. A second clerk joined in the struggle. The suspect lost his mask and part of his ponytail was ripped out before he fled.
Sheriff's deputies found him at a nearby home. Fifty-six-year-old Dale Foughty faces several charges. He is jailed under $100,000 bond. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Student Republicans at the University of California at Berkeley have stirred up the famously left-wing campus with plans for a sale of baked goods priced according to the race and gender of buyers.
A Facebook promotion of the event, set for Tuesday, has drawn cries of racism and misogyny on the social networking site, and student body president Vishalli Loomba called what the Berkeley College Republicans were doing offensive.
The school's chancellor, Robert Birgeneau, weighed in on Monday night with an open letter condemning the planned bake sale as contrary to campus "Principles of Community" that call for debate to be conducted in a respectful manner.
Organizers say their "Increase Diversity Bake Sale" is meant as satiric political commentary on new legislation that would again allow California's public universities to consider the race, gender, ethnicity and national origin of admissions applicants.
The sale is scheduled to take place near a campus phone bank set up by supporters of the bill, SB 185, to lobby for Democratic Governor Jerry Brown to sign the measure into law.
The original Facebook post for the event said pastries sold at the event would be priced at $2 each for white customers, $1.50 for buyers of Asian descent, $1 for Latinos, 75 cents for black customers and 25 cents for American Indians. All women would get a 25 cent discount.
The post said the pricing structure was designed to "ensure the equitable distribution of BAKED GOODS to our DIVERSE! student body."
Loomba said Berkeley "students are talking about this everywhere I go."
"They've been able to get a lot of publicity, but at what cost? They are creating an environment of divisiveness," she told Reuters. "You can't justify doing something this offensive and making students of this school feel uncomfortable."
'FAR FROM HEALTHY DISAGREEMENT'
Leaders of the student Republicans were not immediately available for comment. But the group's president, Shawn Lewis, said in a statement posted on its website that "physical threats" were made against organizers of the bake sale, including suggestions that cupcakes would be purchased and then hurled back in protest.
"Threatening and political intimidation should not be part of the (campus) community," Lewis said. "What I have seen and heard in response to the Berkeley College Republicans' 'Increase Diversity Bake Sale' has been far from healthy disagreement or challenging of ideas."
While enactment of SB 185 does not require university admissions officers to give preferential treatment to applicants on the basis of race or gender, it would allow them to consider such factors.
A statewide ballot measure approved by California voters in 1996 banned the use of race and gender preferences in state university admissions, hiring and contracting. The California Supreme Court upheld its constitutionality last August.

ROSWELL, N.M. – A New Mexico woman is facing charges after police say she put an ad on Craigslist looking to buy drugs.
Roswell police arrested Anamicka Dave after officers posing as sellers arranged to meet her through text messages.
According to the station, Dave's ad said she was new to town and "looking for Mary Jane."
Roswell Police Sgt. Ty Sharpe says he was surprised someone would post an online ad for marijuana and he thought it might be another police sting.
Police met the 29-year-old Albuquerque woman in a parking lot and then arrested her.
DUBLIN – Hundreds of Ireland's judges abandoned their wigs for the first time in centuries Friday after the Irish Courts Service ended the rule requiring them to wear the British-style headgear.
The move is designed to save the taxpayer money in debt-struck Ireland. Until now, each new judge has received a London-made, white-dyed horsehair wig that costs the state about $3,000 each.
Irish judges have worn wigs since the mid-17th century and kept the policy after Ireland won independence from Britain in 1922.
SALT LAKE CITY – Police say a man who called in a bomb threat to a Utah Oktoberfest event said he was mad his boyfriend had gone without him and wanted him to return home sooner.
Prosecutors on Thursday charged 37-year-old Daniel Ford Artley with a felony count of making a false alarm.
Court papers say the West Valley City man called Snowbird ski resort's reservations line Oct. 8 and said his "Pakistani colleague" had planted a bomb at an events pavilion because he didn't like Americans. He said the bomb would detonate within 15 minutes.
Hundreds were evacuated from the resort southeast of Salt Lake City.Officials used caller ID to track down Artley.
If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison. A court hearing is set for Tuesday.

DENVER – A Colorado man who got a visit from police after a pizza delivery driver smelled marijuana at his home is getting free pizza from a rival restaurant.
Frederick Smith says police searched his home in Aurora after a Papa John's International Inc. driver smelled marijuana there last week. The driver reported a child was in the home at the time.
Smith told Denver TV station KUSA-TV that he's a registered medical marijuana user. Papa John's has said it stands by its employee.
One of its Denver-based rivals, Sexy Pizza, said Thursday that it would give Smith one free pizza monthly until Colorado voters decide a proposed 2012 ballot initiative that would legalize marijuana for recreational use.
Sexy Pizza says it'll extend the offer for life if voters pass the initiative.
Kitimat, BRITISH COLUMBIA - 49-year-old Yvonne Studley was seriously injured in July when she hit a moose with her vehicle, so on Friday, August 26th her sister, 51-year-old Connie Everitt, decided to pay her a visit in Vancouver General Hospital. Turns out she visited a hospital, but it was after she also hit a moose.
In the first accident, Studley was on her way home from a business trip when a moose ran in front of her car. The animal went right through the windshield and landed on Studley, breaking her hand, wrist and arm, fracturing five of her ribs and a severe concussion. The pregnant moose died near the scene of the collision. When Studley came out of her coma, her sister wanted to pay her a visit.
Connie Everitt was going around a turn when she saw “a brown blur”. She said, “I knew right away it was a moose. I slammed on the brakes with both of my feet. It was like two explosions.” She was taken to the hospital with mostly soft-tissue injuries. Everitt was released from the hospital the next day, and finally managed to visit her sister on Monday, August 29th.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A grocery store worker accused of handing out a semen-tainted yogurt sample at an Albuquerque market pleaded guilty Thursday.
Under terms of his plea agreement, Anthony Garcia admitted he tainted a sample of the yogurt he was handing out at Sunflower Market in January. He also admitted putting some of his semen on a plastic spoon that he placed with the yogurt. Garcia then approached a female customer and offered her a sample.
"The criminal conduct to which Anthony Garcia pleaded guilty today is completely outrageous," U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales said after Garcia's appearance in federal court. "No one should have to endure this type of experience simply because she or he accepts a food sample while shopping for groceries."
Garcia, 32, pleaded guilty to charges of adulterating food and making false statements to federal investigators.
The woman told police that after tasting the sample, she spit on the floor several times and wiped her mouth on the garment she was wearing to get the taste out of her mouth. Investigators collected samples of the woman's spit from the floor and took the garment she was wearing as evidence.
Police say Garcia was linked to the yogurt through DNA samples. Authorities said Garcia then lied to investigators about the case. Garcia faces up to three years of imprisonment to be followed by three years of supervised release.
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – You have the right to remain silent, but would you mind taking part in our survey?
The Schenectady (skeh-NEHK'-ta-dee) Police Department is conducting surveys of the people it tickets, arrests or assists in an effort to improve service to the public.
Schenectady Police Chief Mark Chaires on Wednesday urged people to participate in the survey, which he called "a report card" on how the law enforcement agency is performing its duties and how it can improve services.
Survey questions include whether police clearly explained the reason for a stop and how satisfied the person was with how they were treated.
The answers will be compiled and turned into a report to help the department keep or alter practices.

LODI, N.J. – A New Jersey police chief says no one is above the law — not even his wife.
Lodi Police Chief Vincent Caruso ordered an officer to ticket his wife after she double parked while dropping off their 5-year-old son at school.
Caruso told The Record he didn't want her to get any special treatment because of who she is. The chief paid the $54 ticket.
It's not the first time for Paula Caruso. The chief ordered another officer to ticket her two years ago after she forgot to move their vehicle for street cleaning.
The chief told the newspaper he loves his wife and she's very busy driving their four sons around.
ATTLEBORO, Mass. – A man who scrubbed his pickup truck in the nude at a Massachusetts car wash has been sentenced to a year of probation.
Robert E. Bailey, of Cumberland, R.I., pleaded guilty on Monday to open and gross conduct for being naked at Economy Car Wash in North Attleborough on May 31.
A woman vacuuming her vehicle at the business called police after she saw the 65-year-old Bailey in the nude.
Police say Bailey was wearing shorts by the time they arrived at the scene and he denied doing anything wrong.
A judge also ordered Bailey to stay away from the car wash and the witness and to continue counseling. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
SAN FRANCISCO – Hanging out on a street corner has taken on new meaning in San Francisco.
Several dozen men and at least one woman took part in a naked protest Saturday in San Francisco's Castro District that has become known for its nude visitors.
Some participants carried signs that read, "Nudity is Not a Crime" and "Get Your Hate Off My Body," as they milled around a street corner to the amusement of passersby.
San Francisco generally allows public nudity, but a city supervisor has proposed regulating the practice.
Organizers of the so-called nude-in say they were not protesting Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal.
Rather, they say, they want to promote acceptance of the human body no matter what shape or form it comes in.

Phil Costa – Perhaps has an excuse for all the bad snaps? Apparently Centers have been required to wear microphones, but the NFL is changing its policy so teams can either have mics in their centers or both guards. Allegedly teams are isolating the sound and learning how to get what the snap count is like so that they can imitate the sounds of Tony Romo’s calls at the line. I say it’s a flimsy excuse for a bad center.

Patriots – Go back to Pat Patriot uniforms. Done and done.
Bills – They’ve improved massively already, now just fix the helmet stripe, the back of it is way to wide.
Dolphins – Get rid of all Navy blue in the helmet, and go back to the older school Dolphin. Either that, or just wear the M helmet like the Dolphin in the logo.
Jets – Kelly Green
North:
Steelers – You can afford to put logos on both sides of the helmets. Go ahead and do it!
Browns – Do NOTHING, you’re golden already. (Just don’t ever go back to those brown pants.)
Bengals – Boomer Esiason era uniforms. Done and Done.
Ravens – Put stripes on your pants.
South:
Jaguars – Blow it up and start from scratch. Teal is terrible.
Colts – Do NOTHING.
Titans – I rather like almost everything about the Titans uniform except for their helmet stripes. Worst Helmet stripes in the NFL. Just get rid of them.
Texans – Just never wear the same color pants and jerseys, other than that, I’m rather fond of Houston’s threads.
West:
Raiders – Do NOTHING.
Chiefs – Replace all yellow with black.
Chargers – Sky blue all the time, numbers on the helmets.
Broncos – Orange jerseys all the time, enough with the silly swooshes all over the place.
Something to Think About:
1. The Tetris Demon
2. Wendy’s – Anyone remember the tables with the old fashioned newspaper advertisements?
3. Animal vs. Kid Naming Conventions – Wild and Weird for kids and Normal Names for animals or vice versa?
• Namita and Samara (kids) Molly and Hailey (cats)
• Ellie and Luke (kids) Fizzgig and Skeemo (dogs)
4. Came across an appraiser this week that has a pager? A PAGER
5. Why does anyone ever clap at the end of a movie in the theater?
6. If you could have any weird item from television history in your house, what would it be? I’m all in with the big wheel from The Price is Right.

Today on VSR – The NFL is great, we all know this, but most of its teams could use a tweak or two on their uniforms. I’ve got the first in a two part series of making NFL uniforms better. Today we will tackle the AFC. Sports are ridiculously good right now, we’ll discuss a few of the goings on in the world of the sporting types here in America, I have a mammoth edition of Something to talk about ready to roll, and I have a host of other things I’ll probably NEVER get to today, so rather than promise you segments that will probably not happen today, let’s just get started with the show...

Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)
LODI, N.J. – A New Jersey police chief says no one is above the law — not even his wife.
Lodi Police Chief Vincent Caruso ordered an officer to ticket his wife after she double parked while dropping off their 5-year-old son at school.
Caruso told The Record he didn't want her to get any special treatment because of who she is. The chief paid the $54 ticket.
It's not the first time for Paula Caruso. The chief ordered another officer to ticket her two years ago after she forgot to move their vehicle for street cleaning.
The chief told the newspaper he loves his wife and she's very busy driving their four sons around.
ATTLEBORO, Mass. – A man who scrubbed his pickup truck in the nude at a Massachusetts car wash has been sentenced to a year of probation.
Robert E. Bailey, of Cumberland, R.I., pleaded guilty on Monday to open and gross conduct for being naked at Economy Car Wash in North Attleborough on May 31.
A woman vacuuming her vehicle at the business called police after she saw the 65-year-old Bailey in the nude.
Police say Bailey was wearing shorts by the time they arrived at the scene and he denied doing anything wrong.
A judge also ordered Bailey to stay away from the car wash and the witness and to continue counseling. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
SAN FRANCISCO – Hanging out on a street corner has taken on new meaning in San Francisco.
Several dozen men and at least one woman took part in a naked protest Saturday in San Francisco's Castro District that has become known for its nude visitors.
Some participants carried signs that read, "Nudity is Not a Crime" and "Get Your Hate Off My Body," as they milled around a street corner to the amusement of passersby.
San Francisco generally allows public nudity, but a city supervisor has proposed regulating the practice.
Organizers of the so-called nude-in say they were not protesting Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal.
Rather, they say, they want to promote acceptance of the human body no matter what shape or form it comes in.

How old is _____??? (A ridiculous dinosaur auction enthusiast)

Best Day of Regular Season Baseball Ever? – Wednesday night, Red Sox and Rays drama has to be the best regular season baseball drama I’ve ever seen.
Throwing my support behind…The Milwaukee Brewers.
Phil Costa – Perhaps has an excuse for all the bad snaps? Apparently Centers have been required to wear microphones, but the NFL is changing its policy so teams can either have mics in their centers or both guards. Allegedly teams are isolating the sound and learning how to get what the snap count is like so that they can imitate the sounds of Tony Romo’s calls at the line. I say it’s a flimsy excuse for a bad center.
