Women who escaped long captivity in Cleveland post thank-you video
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight release a thank-you video to show their appreciation to all the people who have offered their support.
By Mark Stevenson, Staff Writer, NBC News
Three Cleveland women who escaped in May after about a decade of captivity appeared in a video posted to YouTube thanking people for their help and requesting continued privacy.
Each of the three, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, makes a statement in the video, posted for them by a Cleveland PR firm.
"First and foremost, I want everyone to know how happy I am to be home with my family and my friends,? Berry says. ?It's been unbelievable. I want to thank everyone who has helped me and my family through this entire ordeal. Everyone who has been there to support us -- it's been a blessing to have such an outpouring of love and kindness."
Ariel Castro, 52, has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment in the case that includes multiple kidnapping and rape charges. He's being held on an $8 million bond.
Authorities accuse him of kidnapping the women between 2002 and 2004 when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. A trial is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 5.

Massasoit Community College honored two local business leaders at its spring commencement ceremony for more than 950 students on May 31. The College presented honorary degrees to two Easton residents, William J. Morse, president and chief operating officer of Mutual Bank and Charles H. Tartaglia, owner of George?s Caf? in Brockton. Selection is based upon outstanding support for the College and overall contribution to the greater community.
William J. Morse is the president and chief operating officer of Mutual Bank. In this role, he helps guide the policy and direction for the mutually owned bank. Morse has shown his commitment to promoting the southeastern area of Massachusetts through his many volunteer efforts. Morse was a member of the Board of Trustees for Massasoit Community College from 1987 to 1992, where he also served as chairman of that board during his tenure. Morse has served as chairman of the board of School on Wheels in Massachusetts, which is an organization that provides tutoring services to homeless children. He also served as a tutor in that organization.
As a committed business leader in the area, Morse has served as a director of the Metro South Chamber of Commerce, and is the current chairman-elect of that organization. Morse is a member of the Banker?s Mutual Resource and serves as treasurer and director of the Goddard Health Foundation. He is a past member of the Easton School Committee. He is also a member of the Stonehill College Executive Committee for Development. A longtime resident of the town of Easton, his exemplary volunteer efforts over the course of many years have contributed much to the economic success of this area.
?Bill Morse?s commitment to our community is evident in the vast amount of time and resources he commits to serving the Greater Brockton region. It is our great pleasure to honor him for his exemplary commitment to education and the community as a whole,? said Massasoit President, Dr. Charles Wall.
Charles Tartaglia is the owner of George?s Caf?, a city of Brockton landmark since 1962. He is committed to public service and is very active on many community and state committees. Tartaglia was a member of the board of trustees at Massasoit Community College for 11 years - from 2000-2011. He is currently a director on the Massasoit Community College Foundation board. During his 11 years on the board of trustees, he served in many different capacities and was chairman of the board in 2006. In 2010, he donated $25,000 to the support of the Respiratory Therapy Program and the allied health programs in honor of his son Charles H. Tartaglia Jr. (MCC, 1984), and his daughter, Paula Franciosi.
Tartaglia has served on the MA State Boxing Commission from 1995 to the present and on the President?s Committee at Stonehill College for many years. He is a former city counselor in Brockton, and he served on the Brockton Park Commission from 1986 to 1989.

?Charlie Tartaglia?s leadership in community service has benefited residents of Brockton and beyond for decades. He is truly a champion for our students and it is an honor to present him with this award,? said Wall.

Taliban attack presidential palace in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? The Taliban say they have hit one of the most secure areas of the Afghan capital with a suicide attack, as a series of explosion rocked the gate leading into the presidential palace.
Smoke rose from the eastern gate of the palace early Tuesday after more than a half dozen explosions and at least 45 minutes of on-and-off small arms fire.
The Taliban sent a quick text-message statement saying "we brought death to the enemy."
The palace is in a large fortified area of downtown Kabul that also includes the U.S. Embassy and the headquarters for the NATO-led coalition forces.
Reporters gathering for an event with President Hamid Karzai counted at least seven or eight explosions starting about 6:30 a.m.
Police had no immediate comment.

Federer begins quest for 8th Wimbledon title
LONDON (AP) ? As he has six previous times, Roger Federer will open Wimbledon on Monday as the defending champion, stepping onto Centre Court for the first match of what he hopes will be another two-week stay at the All England Club.
It's an honor reserved for the men's titleholder. That scheduling perk is also where any hint of preferential treatment for Federer comes to a halt. Because of the way the draw came out, Federer could have to defeat Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray before even getting to the final.
"I'm ready for the challenge," Federer said. "I like tough draws. I don't shy away from them."
Federer's quest for a record eighth Wimbledon title begins against Victor Hanescu of Romania.
Murray also plays Monday, wrapping up the day's action on Centre Court against Germany's Benjamin Becker. Nadal, who comes in with a stretch of nine straight appearances in tournament finals since returning from his knee injury, faces Belgium's Steve Darcis on Court 1.
Sitting back watching it all will be top-seeded Novak Djokovic, who is on the opposite side of the draw and, on paper, has the easiest path to the final. No. 4 David Ferrer is the biggest roadblock on his side of the bracket.
"I think it's going to be a great Monday for tennis," Djokovic said with a smile.
He's the 11-10 favorite at the London sports books and will open Tuesday barring rain, which is not in the forecast for most of the first week.
Third-seeded Federer's tough draw, to say nothing of his age (31) and his less-than-inspiring 2013 season makes him something of a long shot this time at Wimbledon. He's listed at 9-1 behind fifth-seeded Nadal (9-2), second-seeded Murray (7-2) and Djokovic.
Then again, grass is considered Federer's best surface and the lone tournament he has won this year came this month on grass at Halle, a tuneup in Germany that Federer has won six times.
"The more you play on it, the more you learn about it," Federer said. "Today I know what it takes, which is a good thing. The excitement is the same. Still hungry and wanting to win and wanting to prove how good I can play."
Sounding at times like a fan of Murray's during his 45-minute news conference, conducted in English, French and Swiss-German, Federer conceded that as he entered his final against the Scot last year, he wondered if it was, in fact, Murray's time to finally break through at a major. Federer fought off Murray for a four-set victory to extend his record Grand Slam title haul to 17.
Murray then came back four weeks later at the All England Club and beat Federer in the Olympic gold-medal match. The Scot then beat Djokovic in the final at the U.S. Open to finally win his first Grand Slam trophy.
"I was happy with the way I played, but I was happy with the reaction that Andy showed, as well," Federer said, referring to the aftermath of last year's Wimbledon final. "Because in previous years, the one time I beat him in the Australian Open final, he went on a sort of a bit of a disappointing run after that. That wasn't the case after Wimbledon (last) year. He actually got much stronger. That's why he increased his chances now by winning big tournaments."
Murray might not be favored, but he certainly will be the fan favorite. No British man has won Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
Murray said the way he lost to Federer at Wimbledon last year ? playing aggressively, not sitting back waiting for things to come to him ? put him in a better frame of mind for the rest of the season and his eventual breakthrough.
"A combination of that final and the way I played in it, and also having the Olympics to look forward to, I think that was the period that changed me ... changed my mindset a bit," he said.
Like Federer, Murray finds himself on the "tough'" side of the draw. Nadal's seven-month absence because of a left knee injury dropped him in the rankings and accounted for his No. 5 seeding, his lowest since he was unseeded for his Wimbledon debut in 2003. Nadal is one spot behind Ferrer, even though he beat his fellow Spaniard in straight sets in the French Open final.
"I am No. 5 in the world today, so the rankings say'" it is no longer a discussion, Nadal said. "It is completely fair that I am No. 5.'"
Nadal, a two-time Wimbledon champion, faces a possible quarterfinal against Federer. The winner of that could play Murray in the semifinals.
"I have no issue with the seeding," Murray said. "I'd rather Rafa and Roger were on the other side of the draw, but they're not. And then, you just deal with that. Hopefully I'll be able to put myself in a position where that becomes relevant because that would mean getting to the semifinals, and I'd love to be there."
