MBTA and Masabi team up for first smartphone rail ticketing system in the US, launching in Boston this fall
In Boston this fall, you won't need to keep up with your train ticket anymore -- as long as you don't leave your smartphone at home. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and Masabi have joined forces to bring a rail ticketing to handheld devices via iPhone, Android and BlackBerry apps. Headquartered in London, Masabi has launched similar tech for transit companies in the UK, eliminating ticket lines for many smartphone-wielding passengers. Software will allow riders to purchase tickets and passes that are validated with a barcode scan by conductors equipped with mobile devices of their own. MBTA is looking to cut costs and provide added convenience with the new system instead of adding more ticketing kiosks to its stations. The aforementioned apps will be developed alongside focus groups and a small pilot group this summer with a full rollout to all MBTA customers expected to happen this fall.

Travis Browne and Matt Brown highlight UFC 145 preliminary card
UFC 145's preliminary card wasn't one to remember, though Travis Browne, Matt Brown and Chris Clements gave memorable performances in Atlanta on Saturday night.
Travis Browne pulled out the submission of the night with a triangle choke of Chad Griggs in the first round. Browne knocked Griggs to the ground with knees, then used a textbook choke to take out Griggs at 2:29 in the first.
Despite tiring out early, Matt Brown stopped the quick ascent of Stephen Thompson with a unanimous decision. The judges saw it 30-27, 29-27, 30-27 for Brown. Matt Brown grabbed a calf slicer in the first round, but Thompson worked his way out. In the second, Thompson controlled most of the round, landing shots as an exhausted Brown couldn't answer, until the final minute. Brown knocked Thompson to the ground with an elbow, then used ground and pound until the round ended. Those elbows opened a large cut on Brown's forehead. Thompson had better stand-up early in the third, but Brown's takedown and triangle choke late in the third round kept Thompson from fighting back.

Unsurprisingly, Anthony Njokuani and John Makdessi's bout turned into a kicking contest, with Njokuani taking the bout 30-27 on all three judges' cards. Njokuani kept his distance while landing kicks to the abdomen and legs of Makdessi. Makdessi could never move inside enough to actually get some offense.
On an injured ankle, Mac Danzig won a decision 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 over Efrain Escudero. Escudero caught Danzig with a heel hook early, but Danzig defended by spinning out and taking Escudero's back before they returned to their feet in the first round. Danzig used a clinch in the second to control Escudero. On an ankle severely swollen from the heel hook, Danzig came out strong in the third, somehow having good movement. He returned to the clinch, again controlling Escudero against the fence.
Chris Clements won an exciting, back and forth split decision with Keith Wisniewski, 29-28, 28-29, 29-28. Wisniewski got a takedown early in the first round as well as a big forehead cut. After an inexplicable stand-up, Clements knocked Wisniewski to the ground with a spinning back kick to the body. In the second round, Wisniewski took Clements back to try for a rear naked choke, but Clements threw elbows into Wisniewski's face. Clements had a much better third round, landing shot after shot that Wisniewski had no answer for.
A lackluster bout started the card in Atlanta, as Marcus Brimage and Maximo Blanco never truly found an offensive attack. Brimage was able to use kicks? to get a bit of an edge, but seemed unsatisfied with his 29-28,? 28-29, 29-28 win.? Afterwards, he and Blanco got into a very odd tumble-off.

Janitor given life sentence in death of NJ priest
MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) ? A former church janitor was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for the 2009 stabbing death of a beloved New Jersey priest who had fired him.
Jose Feliciano declined to comment before he was sentenced for the death of Rev. Edward Hinds at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Chatham.
Both men were well-known members of the church community, and the slaying shook the parish and well-to-do suburb of Chatham, a northern New Jersey community about 20 miles west of Manhattan.
Prosecutors said Hinds fired Feliciano after discovering the janitor had an outstanding arrest warrant in Philadelphia from the 1980s for sexually touching a child. They said Feliciano stabbed Hinds more than 30 times as the 61-year-old priest, in his clerical robes, was brewing a cup of coffee in the rectory kitchen.
Hinds' body was found when he didn't show up for Mass.
Feliciano, of Easton, Pa., testified for eight days during his trial in state Superior Court in Morristown. He admitted killing the priest but claimed he had acted in a fit of rage over sexual blackmail. He testified Hinds had demanded sex in exchange for keeping quiet about the warrant.
Several witnesses testified that Feliciano never mentioned the alleged sexual overtures, and Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi insisted Friday that investigators found no evidence to support the claims.
"Our family, our community is never going to be whole again because of Ed's murder," Daniel Silas Miller, whose mother was Hinds' cousin, said outside the courtroom minutes after the sentencing. "Thank God, everyone saw through these lies, and Ed's reputation is restored."
Several members of Hinds' parish spoke of the devastating impact the slaying had on their tiny suburban community and the horror of hearing such accusations made against their priest.
Michelle Ballotta Lowe, a parish member for more than 40 years, considered Hinds a confidant and close friend. She said counselors were brought in for children too terrified to sleep with the lights off following the murder, and for parents reeling from revelations about Feliciano's past.
She described the trust the community had had for a man who once "patted our children on the heads as he gave them milk and cookies," and noted that he was a fellow member of the church along with his wife and children.
"The world can be a cruel place. I know people learn that in life, but I do deeply resent the manner in which this lesson was imposed on us," Lowe said.
Feliciano had worked at the parish since 1991. Prosecutors said he used aliases and fake identification over the years to hide his past. In December, a jury found Feliciano guilty of murder, felony murder, two counts of robbery and two weapons counts.
Bianchi became emotional, his voice breaking at times, as he argued for Superior Court Judge Thomas Manahan to impose the maximum sentence. Outside court, he said he had been moved by how Hinds lived his life and saddened by his senseless death.
"This man's life was dedicated, 24-7 to helping people," Bianchi said. "He died literally trying to protect God's children, and he paid for it with his life."
