CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) ? Serena Williams has plenty to keep her busy. There's college classes, a relaunch of her clothing line and a possible move to Paris.

And, oh yeah, there's that brand of dominant tennis that Williams plays like few others in the world.

Williams capped a week of powerful performances with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Lucie Safarova to win the Family Circle Cup on Sunday. It was Williams' 40th WTA title and first on clay in four years since capturing this championship in 2008.

Williams didn't expect to show so strongly in her first event of the season on clay. She said the steady stream of things she deals with off the tennis court helps keep her focused when she's on it.

"I'm just trying to keep my mind busy," Williams said. "I'm doing so much it keeps me staying in the moment."

This week, that's been playing some of the most dominant matches of her career. Williams followed up a 6-1, 6-1 steamroll over Samantha Stosur, the world's fifth-ranked player, in the semifinals Saturday with her rout of Safarova.

Williams said she had some mediocre practices this week, yet saved her best when it counted most.

"I've never played, I can say, consistently at such a high level with low errors" the last two matches, Williams said.

"And the scary thing is," she says, "I could've served so much better."

Really?

Williams was dominant on her serves this week. She wasn't broken in her final four matches, going 25-0 in her service games. The closest Safarova came was in the first set when she couldn't cash in on break points in the third and fifth games. Williams escaped both, getting out of the final jam with a 116 mph service winner to lead 5-0.

Safarova avoided the double-bagel, the 6-0, 6-0 fate she hung on Polona Hercog to reach the final, by taking the fourth game of the second set at love. Safarova pounded a forehand winner to loud applause, smiling and lifting her head in relief.

Williams wrapped it up with a 107-mph ace, her fifth of the match, and received a long ovation from the crowd. She leads the WTA with 108 aces on the season.

"She was amazing," said Safarova, who fell to 0-5 against Williams. "She deserves to be the champion."

Safarova became a Family Circle champion, too, later Sunday, teaming with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to win the doubles title over Anabel Medina Garrigues and Yaroslava Shvedova in a third-set tiebreaker.

"It's been wonderful and fun all week," Safarova said.

Williams won her 40th title to move one away from Kim Clijsters among active players on the career list. Venus Williams leads with 43 championships.

Williams said her play was truly a surprise since it was so early in the clay-court season. Her last two finals appearances on the surface both took place in Charleston ? a loss to Justine Henin in 2003 and her win over Vera Zvonareva in 2008.

Williams had just a day or so after the Sony Ericsson Open to practice on the slower clay at the Family Circle Tennis Center. She looked rusty in her opening match, a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Elena Vesnina on Tuesday.

But Williams came back in her next match with a much sharper game. She took out Marina Erakovic 6-2, 6-2 and was in control in her quarterfinals win over Sabine Lisicki, who retired in the first set after twisting her left ankle.

However, Williams was at her best on the weekend.

She didn't give Stosur, the reigning U.S. Open champion, room to breathe in the semifinals. Williams ended the clay-court run with a commanding victory over the 26th-ranked Safarova.

Williams is not scheduled to play again until next month in Madrid, then at the Italian Open before moving on to Paris for the year's second Grand Slam, the French Open.

Williams has talked frequently this week of her desire to add another title at Roland Garros ? her only French crown came in 2002 ? to her Hall-of-Fame resume of 13 major championships. She also talked about moving to Paris.

"Yeah, you know, I love it there. I just ... I need a change," she said. "I'll still be based out of the United States because there's so many tournaments here. So we'll see."

The Family Circle Cup victory may be a launching pad to a great season for Williams, who was sidelined for nearly a year by foot injuries and health issues before returning last summer.

"I really feel like, hopefully, I'll remember this so I can play like this more often," Williams said.

Williams also was happy to honor the 40th anniversary of the Family Circle tournament and the legacy of women's tennis. The tournament named its stadium court on Saturday night for tennis great and pioneer Billie Jean King, who was on court during Williams' trophy ceremony.

King and members of the Original 9 players, who defied the tennis establishment to form the first women's tour and fight for better prize money, were saluted during the weekend

Williams earned $115,000 for the victory, a far cry from the first Family Circle in 1973 ? won by Rosie Casals ? that offered a then-unheard of $100,000 in total prize money.

"I want to thank Billie," Williams said. "Without her, I don't know if any of us would be here."

Artist Kelly Spencer opens new show | Voxy.co.nz

As of today, Local illustrative artist Kelly Spencer is showing her enchanting new body of watercolour works on paper at Deluxe Cafe, Kent Terrace (Welllington).

The show is titled DEVA.

Spencer works as a freelance illustrative artist, moonlighting in graphic design, producing book illustrations, tshirt graphics, and poster designs. She has undergone no formal training in visual art, which has given her the freedom to create her own style, free from the well trodden path of formal art education.

She says she was inspired to create this new collection by the magnificent iconography and imagery of the Hindu Devas and Avatars, following a trip to Laos in late 2011: "I approach this subject matter from a purely artistic stance. I became transfixed by the elaborate characters of Hinduism. There's a richness and vibrance to the culture that we don't often encounter in the west.."

In 2011 Kelly's work was shown in a handful of venues throughout Wellington, including sell out shows at both Deluxe Cafe, and Thistle Hall community gallery. In the coming months Kelly will be exhibiting in group shows at Pixel Ink Gallery in Wellington, and also at Mint Gallery in Georgia, Atlanta (USA).

The show is open daily from 7am til 10pm April 9th until April 22nd.

'Wuthering Wind Farm Heights'? Bronte fans riled

Patrick Ward / Corbis

A small farmhouse in the moors of Haworth in West Yorkshire, England.

By Jim Gold, msnbc.com staff

Proposed wind turbines that would go up in moorlands that inspired ?Wuthering Heights? are generating controversy with the Bront? Society and nearby villagers, according to reports in United Kingdom media.

Thornton Moor near Haworth, in West Yorkshire, would be home to four 328-foot-high wind turbines flanking the Bront? Way tourist trail, The Telegraph of London said.


The moor in what is termed ?Bront? Country? was an inspiration for all three Bront? sisters, who lived less than five miles away, the newspaper said.

The Bront? Parsonage, now a museum, was the literary family's home from 1820 to 1861, according to the Bront? Society website.

"These moors should continue undisturbed for generations to come and for the swathes of visitors from the UK and overseas drawn to Haworth and Yorkshire by their interest in the lives and works of the Bront?s,??Sally McDonald, chairman of the Bront? Society board of trustees, told the Telegraph.

?The Bront?s were passionate about the landscape and the moorland hugely influenced the writing of all three sisters,? McDonald said.

?Wuthering Heights,? by Emily Bront?, was set there, she said. Among other?books by the Bront? sisters are ?Jane Eyre,? by Charlotte Bront?, and ?The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,? by Anne Bront?.

The $19 million wind farm proposed by energy firm Banks Renewables would produce enough electricity to power 4,500 homes, the company said.

Bradford councilors are due to vote on an application to install a data-gathering mast next week. Foes fear the project will proceed and be up and running within 12 months.

Phil Dyke, development director at Banks Renewables, said, "The visual impact of a test mast at Thornton Moor would be very slight as it would be a slender structure.? He also said developing sustainable low-carbon energy is vital, telling the Bradford Telegraph & Argus that more countries are bidding for fossil fuel.

Anthea Orchard, chair of the Thornton Moor Wind Farm Action group, was quoted by?Sky News on Saturday as saying she was not?a "nimby."

"We're used to wind farms here," she said. "But these will be twice the size and much nearer the houses.

In another recent wind farm argument, billionaire business tycoon Donald Trump fiercely opposes a proposal for 11 64-story-high wind turbines off the Aberdeenshire coast of Scotland near?his planned $1.2 billion golf resort on the Menie Estate. The BBC has reported that Trump was accused of bullying the Scottish government, a charge his company denied.

Trump called the turbines "ugly monstrosities" that will ruin the coastline and kill tourism. The issue is not settled.

Tulsa killings tied to murder of suspect's dad?

Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan and task force commander Major Walter Evans discuss the arrest of two suspects in shootings that left three dead and two wounded.

By NBC News, msnbc.com staff and news services

Updated at?5:20 p.m. ET: TULSA, Okla. -- After a two-day manhunt, police arrested two men early Sunday in?connection with a Good Friday?shooting spree in Tulsa's predominantly black north side?that left three people dead and two others wounded.

Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, were held?on three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill. Police identified both suspects as white males, although earlier court records identified a?Jacob Carl England, born on the same date,?as American Indian.

Police?are?examining whether the shootings?might be a hate crime, as England, 19, had posted racially charged comments on his Facebook page about the two-year anniversary of his father's death, the Tulsa World reported.

England wrote: ???Today is two years that my dad has been gone shot by a?f------ n----- it's hard not to go off between that and sheran I'm gone in the head.?

Sheran Hart Wilde, his girlfriend, died earlier this year.


Watts, his roommate, commented beneath his post: ?I kno i miss them 2. My last meomeries were great ones of them. Its nt goodbye its c u later.?

On his Facebook page, Watts describes himself as single, interested in women and?a "very proud daddy." Court records show that?he was charged in 2009 for aggravated assault and battery, but those charges were dismissed nearly three years later. In 2006, he pled guilty to domestic violence, a misdemeanor offense, and paid a $649.90 court fine.

England's?father, Carl England, 47, was shot and killed during an argument at an apartment complex two years ago; his death led to charges against a 38-year-old black man, KJRH.com reported. The man, Pernell Jefferson, was charged with pointing a gun and is scheduled to be released in 2014, according to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

Task force commander Maj. Walter Evans said at a press conference Sunday that the two men were taken into custody just north of the city at 1:47 a.m. He credited the 40 or so tips to the Crime Stoppers hotline that started pouring in Saturday after the police asked members of the community for help cracking the case.?

When asked by a reporter whether England's father's death had played a role in the shootings, Evans said he couldn't be sure, "but there is a connection."

The shootings happened around 1 a.m. Friday within a three miles of each other.?All five victims were out walking when they were shot. Police have said they don't believe?victims knew each other.

More than two dozen officers?were called in to investigate the case, along with the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and other agencies.

Tipsters told police to look for a white man driving a white Chevrolet?pickup with a loud exhaust, which had been spotted near three of the shootings. Tulsa City Councilman Jack Henderson told Reuters that witnesses saw one of the shooters drive through the neighborhood and stop pedestrians for directions. As they walked away, he shot at them.

Other tipsters contacted Crime Stoppers to inform police that England had the truck, and that he planned to burn it. Deputies found a burned truck around 6 p.m. on Saturday and traced it to England.

The dead were identified as Dannaer Fields, 49, Bobby Clark, 54, and William Allen, 31, according to Reuters.?The two wounded men, who were not identified, were expected to survive.

'We're all nervous': Tulsa, Okla., on edge after shooting spree

Though all of the victims were black, Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan told Reuters on Saturday it was too early to know whether the shootings were racially motivated.

However, KRMG TV?reported Saturday that the FBI had announced that the shootings would be investigated?under federal hate crime legislation.

NBC News, Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
