Police: NBA's Jones arrested for 'stomping' on homeless man in Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. ? Terrence Jones, a former Jefferson High School star and current Houston Rockets player, was arrested in Portland at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday after police said he yelled at a homeless man and stomped on his leg.

Jones was charged with harassment and is due in court Tuesday at 2 p.m.

While watching the group walk away from a club called Tube, the sergeant observed a man, later identified as Jones, walk by a doorway where two homeless men were sleeping, according to police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson.

The sergeant said Jones yelled, ?Wake up,? then raised his leg and stomped down on one of the man?s legs. The men were sleeping in the doorway of? 114 Northwest 3rd Avenue.

The victim, 46-year-old Daniel John Kellerher, received a minor leg injury and did not require immediate medical attention, Simpson said.

Calls to the Houston Rockets, Jones' agent, Arn Tellem, and his former coach at Jefferson, Pat Strickland, were not immediately returned Wednesday.

Jones led the Jefferson Democrats to an unprecedented three straight Class 5A championships and played in the 2010 McDonald?s All-American Game.

He originally committed to play for the University of Washington, but changed his mind three weeks later and went to Kentucky. He helped the Wildcats to the Final Four in his freshman year, then to the national title in 2012.

He was drafted 18th overall by the Houston Rockets, but spent most of last season in the development league. In his 19 regular-season games with the Rockets, the 6-foot9, 252-pound forward averaged 5.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.5 minutes.

Bell Helicopter, union set to resume contract talks

Jake Dean

Bell Helicopter officials and the United Auto Workers are scheduled to resume contract talks this week.

Officials with Fort Worth-based Bell Helicopter and the United Auto Workers plan to resume contract negotiations this week, nearly two months after the union rejected what was called a "final offer" from the company.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram said that Bell and UAW Local 218 are scheduled to meet on Thursday to work on a new agreement. The paper said that since June 9, more than 2,500 Bell machinists, forklift operators and other hourly workers have worked under an expired contract.

Google launches (limited) new Zagat app for Android and iOS

If you've upgraded to the newest version of Google Maps for Android, you may have noticed that the update removes the "Local" app in favor of the "Explore" option which is somewhat buried in the Maps search page. And, on Friday the Google+ Local app was pulled from the iTunes App Store. It seems that both of those moves may be because Google wants to promote its newly redesigned Zagat app which launched today for Android and iOS.

Unfortunately, while the new Zagat app brings a complete redesign and interesting features, the app is severely limited with dining info for just 9 cities:?Austin, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Yep, that's it. If you live anywhere too far from one of those cities, you might as well ignore this app for now, although Google is promising to expand to "50 U.S. and international destinations and cover shopping, hotels and other places of interest" in the coming months.

If you do live in or near one of those cities, the app is quite nice. The redesign is attractive and fast, and adds new content like restaurant news, video reviews, curated lists, and even restaurant menus. And, the biggest change from the old Zagat app is that this app is completely free, rather than carrying the $10 price tag from before.?
