And a day before BART Rider Appreciation, no less? Sad. Yesterday, at around 1:20 p.m. near Apgar Street and Martin Luther King Jr. in Oakland, a 20-year-old man was shot and killed, and an 18-year-old seriously injured, after "being shot on the street near the MacArthur BART station." Police aren't sure why Nathan Taylor or Donte Davis, respectively, were gunned down, but if you know anything, spill it to the police at 510-238-3821.......

Tonight, contributors will be reading at City Lights (261 Columbus Ave. at Broadway). The book is a collection of first-person stories by women working in tech, science, game design, and other male-dominated "geeky" fields like tech law and even comic book writing. And......

A passenger was stabbed yesterday afternoon at the MacArthur BART station -- the reports are sketchy, but it sounds like a teenage girl got in an argument with another woman on a Fremont-bound train. They both got off at MacArthur, and the girl attempted to stab the woman in the stomach, missed, and got the woman in the shoulder instead. The girl fled, with the woman chasing after her, but got out of the station before anyone could catch her. We heard on KRON that the victim was transgendered and the girl may have committed a hate crime, but no one else seems to have confirmed that yet. A woman in Menlo Park was at home when she suddenly heard a window break and noises from her upstairs bedroom! Burglars! She called 911 and the cops hustled on over. They got her out. They surrounded the house. They cautiously went upstairs ..... and found a terrified red-tailed hawk that had crashed through the window and deposited its half-eaten meal (a baby crow) on the woman's bed. The bird was taken in by the Humane Society, which says it's doing fine and should be released back into the wild soon. "I never thought my windows were clean enough for this to happen," mused the homeowner. And former A's and Giants pitcher Vida Blue has been summoned to San Mateo County Court next Monday to explain why he hasn't done the community service he was sentenced to after his DUI arrest last year on 101. Blue was recently arrested on another DUI in Scottsdale, Arizona in March. ...

Andrew Krucoff, who used to be Mr. Intervista at Gothamist, apparently has a fetish for Berkeley punk. Hence he's gone and provided the innerweb with free downloads of this sweet compilation tape [Thanks, BoingBoing]. Breeders will know that they can't possibly keep up with the coolness factor of their tweeners. So it's all about CDRs, a faster internet connection and legal counsel. A trip to Amoeba or Rasputin for blank media and mashup equipment may......
