Loughner Pleads Guilty To Ariz. Mass Shooting

The decision to spare Jared Lee Loughner a federal death sentence makes sense, said Dale Baich, a federal public defender in Phoenix who handles capital case appeals and isn’t involved in the case. “As time went on and there were numerous evaluations, I think everybody had a better understanding of Mr. Loughner’s mental illness,” Baich said. He added: “It appears that he will need to be treated for the rest of his life in order to remain competent.” (AP)

Gunman who killed 6 in 2011 agrees to spend life in prison

BILL ROBLES/AP

JkYied" 7h_p$ Jared Lee Loughner agreed Tuesday to spend the rest of his life in prison, accepting that he went on a deadly shooting rampage at an Arizona political gathering in 2011 and sparing the victims a lengthy death-penalty trial.

His plea came soon after a federal judge found that months of psychiatric treatment for schizophrenia made Giffords Loughner able to understand charges that he killed six people and wounded 13 others, including his intended target, then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Experts had concluded that Loughner suffers from schizophrenia, and officials at a federal prison have forcibly medicated

him with psychotropic drugs for more than a year.

Court-appointed psychologist Christina Pietz testified for an hour about how she believes Loughner became competent. Loughner listened calmly without expression.

After the hearing, Loughner’s parents cried and embraced. The

victims mostly just watched without expression.

“He’s a different person in his appearance and his affect than the first time I laid eyes on him,” said Judge Larry A. Burns, who then accepted the plea agreement and added that he found it to be in the best interest of everyone involved.

The outcome was welcomed by some victims as a way to avoid a lengthy, possibly traumatic trial.

“The pain and loss caused by the events of Jan. 8, 2011, are incalculable,” Giffords said in a joint statement with her husband, Mark Kelly. “Avoiding a trial will allow us … to continue with our recovery.”

Romney Hits Obama on Welfare ;ba =hel[ L_bbW][" ?bb$ Making a play for middle-class voters, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney sought Tuesday to elevate welfare reform as a campaign issue, accusing President Obama of encouraging a “culture of dependency.”

Campaigning near the president’s hometown of Chicago, Romney suggested Obama had dismantled the 1996 welfare reform overhaul signed into law by President Clinton. Romney said that, if elected, he would make sure welfare recipients are required to work.

“We will end a culture of dependency and restore a culture of good hard work,” Romney said.

White House spokesman Jay Carney blasted Romney’s assertions as “categorically false and blatantly dishonest.”

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ Mitt Romney, who is narrowing in on his vice presidential pick, will launch a fourstate bus tour later this week that will take him to Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio. Meanwhile, Republicans announced more speakers for the convention opening Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla., where Romney will officially accept the GOP nomination. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are among them. (AP)

The Romney campaign pressed the welfare issue in a new ad criticizing Obama for his decision last month to change welfare requirements. The White House said Obama wanted to give states the flexibility they had been seeking to tailor the program to their needs.

But some conservatives fear the increased latitude could allow states to get around the work requirements, which were a key element of the welfare overhaul under Clinton.

Romney was among several Republican governors who signed

a letter in 2005 asking for more “waiver authority.”

His campaign sees Obama’s decision on welfare as an opportunity to argue that the president is a liberal who wants to give the poor a free pass at the expense of the middle class.

“His policies will take America backward — back to the discredited liberalism of a bygone era where bigger government programs and bigger government checks were the answer to every problem,” said Lanhee Chen, Romney’s policy director.

NIH is studying a novel medication for rapid antidepressant response and its effect on memory & attention using neuroimaging.

NIH researchers seek currently depressed persons ages 18- 55 to enroll in research studies evaluating how an FDA-approved drug, Scopolamine (for motion sickness) versus placebo can help with depression.

In one study, the drug is given intravenously over 7- sessions (inpatient or outpatient), in the other the drug is given by patch over 12 sessions (outpatient).

Participants must not be taking medications for three weeks prior to starting the study.

The studies are conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and may include brain imaging and attention and memory tasks to help understand the role of some brain chemicals in depression.

the Arab Spring.

One scenario: a bloodbath as Syria’s majority Sunni population, which has led the uprising against Assad, seeks vengeance against the minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam that forms the backbone of Assad’s regime.

Another possibility is a free-forall fight among the “victors” — the patchwork collection that makes up the anti-Assad revolt but has no common vision for the future.

Emerging radical voices also have the potential to change the very nature of the uprising, which began in March 2011 with calls for reform. At the time, protesters and opposition leaders described their movement as entirely secular and free of religious overtones. Analysts warn that the longer the conflict continues, the easier it will be for radical forces to fill the vacuum — making the violence in Syria far more unpredictable. BASSEM MROUE

Metro: Mechanical problem at L’Enfant Plaza is not to blame MWi^_d]jed Metro continues to investigate the accident that injured five people on an escalator at L’Enfant Plaza on Tuesday morning, sending three commuters to the hospital following a situation one rider described as “utter chaos.”

Shortly before 8:30 a.m., a woman was heading down to the station’s lower level with a midto-large-size bag that got caught in the panel running alongside

the escalator steps, said Dan Stessel, the transit agency’s chief spokesman.

Part of the bag “got caught in a seam between two panels” and a panel partially detached, Stessel said.

Metro’s information thus far is based on reports from witnesses, including some of the people who were injured, he said.

Ronnie Quzack, a commuter who took the escalator just moments before other riders were injured, said she moved past the partially detached panel while riding down to the lower level.

“As soon as we got to the bottom, we heard all the commotion

Metro says an escalator panel, like these shown at the Van Ness-UDC station in a file photo, came partially detached and injured passengers at L’Enfant Plaza station.

and turned around … and that’s when people started tumbling down,” said Quzack, a Depart-

ment of Commerce employee commuting downtown from District Heights.

The piece of metal, which is about 8 feet long, was flopping back and forth on the escalator steps “like a loose garden hose,” Quzack said.

Five adult riders were injured, according to Metro. Three of them were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while two commuters declined any medical assistance. At least one woman suffered a gash on her leg, and people didn’t realize her injury until they pulled another rider off of her, Quzack said.

The escalator will remain out of service until it’s inspected, according to Stessel.

“But at this point, we don’t have any reason to believe that there was anything mechanically wrong with the escalator,” he said. MARK BERMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Hate rock concerts and festivals are commonly held on private land.

Smaller shows are held at clubs or bars, with the groups often concealing their ideology from venue owners.

“You’ll see a lot of machismo, a lot of aggression,” said Pete Simi, a University of Nebraska-Omaha social scientist.

“It’s a very hyper-masculine space,” he said. “The men will have their T-shirts off, and most are heavily tattooed.” Fights are common at the gatherings.

White-power rock may have fueled the Sikh temple gunman’s rage C_bmWka[[ W hen they aren’t ranting in Internet forums, many of the nation’s white supremacists seek a louder outlet for their extreme views: thunderous, thrashing heavy metal or punk with lyrics that call for a race war.

Wa d e M ic h a e l Pa ge , t he gunman who killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before being killed by police Sunday, was said to be deeply involved in the “hate rock” scene — a shadowy world of hundreds of performers in the U.S. and Europe, most of them playing metal or hardcore punk.

“It really was a good political weapon for the agenda,” said Jason Stevens, who once fronted a whitepower band called Intimidation One in Portland, Ore. Page played guitar and bass with Intimidation One in the early part of the past decade. He also appeared in bands named Definite Hate and End Apathy.

Stevens said money raised by his band’s tours and record sales was often funneled to legal defense funds for white supremacists charged with federal crimes.

The band now viewed as the pioneer of hate rock was called Skrewdriver, hailing from Britain’s skinhead scene in the late 1970s and pioneering a genre called “Oi,” which sounds similar to punk bands of the period such as the Sex Pistols.

The genre spread to the U.S. and mushroomed in the early 1980s.

The Internet enabled much wider distribution of the music.

BWX[b H[WYji A Baltimore label that distributed music by the gunman in the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting said Monday it has removed all images and products related to the band from its website. Label 56 also issued a statement denouncing the actions of the gunman, Wade Michael Page, saying it does not seek attention through “shock value” and has worked to encourage people to take a positive path. The label also asked people not to think that “we are all like that.” (AP)

Matthew Chandler, spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, declined to say if the agency specifically tracked hate rock groups but said it’s focused “on preventing violence that is motivated by extreme ideological beliefs.”

Mark Pitcavage, an investigator for the Anti-Defamation League in New York City, said acts of rightwing extremism are at the highest level since the mid-1990s, around the time of the Oklahoma City bombing.

He credited federal authorities for staying on top of the threats, but said it often takes incidents such as the temple attack to get the public’s attention. PATRICK CONDON AND TODD RICHMOND (AP)

As the crowd gasped, she fell onto the beam in a straddle, hanging on tight as she swung partly underneath.

“I’m so happy, going home with two Olympic gold medals and a couple of titles under my belt,” Douglas said. “I’m so happy for Aly, she deserves to be up on that podium.”

Raisman may not have Douglas’ bubbly personality or Wieber’s resume, but she is prized for her steadiness, and that consistency paid off big in London.

Energized by her surprise bronze on beam, Raisman’s floor routine had an extra spark. Her tumbling passes were some of the most difficult, and she got such great height on them you could have parked a double-decker bus beneath her. Her landings were not only secure, one was so powerful it practically shook the floor.

Coach Mihai Brestyan was hopping up and down and pumping his fist as she finished, and even Raisman was impressed with herself, mouthing “wow” after she saluted the judges. When her score, a 15.6, was posted, teammate McKayla Maroney yelled “whoa!” so loudly from the stands it could be heard across the arena.

“I felt like I had nothing to lose,” Raisman said. “It was going to be my last memory for London, so I just wanted to make it count and enjoy it.” NANCY ARMOUR (AP)

Liu Xiang slowly, awkwardly made his way alongside the track he was supposed to be racing on Tuesday, forced instead to hop on his good leg while straining to keep his injured one elevated.

Eight years ago, he won the 110-meter hurdles at the Athens Games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tying the world record, giving China its ďŹ rst Olympic gold medal in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track and ďŹ eld, and becoming one of the most famous and popular people in a nation of more than 1 billion. The numbers since then for Liu? Two Olympics, zero hurdles cleared.

Liu stumbled into the ďŹ rst barrier of his opening heat at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic Stadium on Tuesday, crumbled to the ground and stayed down for a few moments, clutching his lower right leg. The head of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track team, Feng Shuyong, said Liu might have ruptured his right Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tendon.

It was reminiscent of what happened in front of a stunned-intosilence home crowd at the Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest in Beijing at the last Olympics in 2008, when Liu withdrew from his preliminary heat after taking all of two strides, unable to overcome foot and hamstring injuries.

CHINAWATCH

CLOSING THE CULTURAL DIVIDE His vision is a world that better understands China.

His mission is to start with building bridges in the United States. Zhao Qiguang shares his dreams with Cang Lide.

ZHEN HUAI / FOR CHINA DAILY

Laozi’s bronze statue in the famous Taoism mountain Maoshan’s scenic area, Jiangsu province.

F

or the last two decades and more, ChineseAmerican Zhao Qiguang has given countless talks and lectures on Chinese culture in the United States, where he is Burton and Lily Levin Professor of Chinese at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota. To Zhao, international cultural exchanges are no less important than bilateral trade, and he feels there is a definite deficit at the moment.

While China exports more commodities than it imports, the opposite is true when it comes to culture. At the moment, China imports more than it exports and it absorbs more foreign influence at home than it manages to spread its own culture abroad.

That’s why Zhao feels it is his responsibility to let the world know more about the rich cultural heritage that China commands from thousands of years of history and philosophy.

Born in Beijing, 64-year-old Zhao comes from a family with a talent for science — his parents were both physics professors. One year after he obtained a master’s degree at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in British and American literature in 1981, he went to the US, where he earned another master's degree and a doctorate in comparative literature at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Since he started returning to China, he has been a frequent guest on Chinese television and a visiting professor to some Chinese universities, speaking on culture and international relations. His discussions on Taoism and the philosophy of Laozi on Shanghai and Shandong television were very well received.

These days, “soft power” has become a buzzword in international relations. In Zhao’s view, soft power is the international currency of a country that will persuade others of its worth.

“You cannot use military or economic influence to force other

people to believe what you believe,” he said, and China’s rich culture, culled from a long and continuous history, is part of that soft power.

“When we say Chinese culture, it seems we often refer to Confucianism only. There are other aspects, such as Taoism, which emphasizes harmony between humans and nature, and harmony within man himself.

“It can be very convincing to people outside China because both confront universal problems of modernization, and we all have anxiety when we are faced with the stress of rapid industrialization,” he said.

Zhao adds that his American students are deeply curious about Taoism. “When we practice tai chi, they can feel the inner strength of this philosophy, and they need not be forced into believing. So this is a very typical form of soft power.”

Zhao believes the revival of Laozi’s philosophy will insert a thundering crescendo into the symphony of the New Age. As a philosopher living in the fourth century BC, Laozi was first in many things. He dealt with universal truths about people’s understanding of the world from a special point of view.

In his masterpiece Tao Te Ching, he does not mention a specific person, a specific event or place. He represented man talking with nature, and in this aspect, he is unparalleled.

According to Zhao, Laozi was the first in his time to accord respect to women, and was an early forerunner of today’s feminism. He spoke highly of the power of the yin, the

‘‘

weak, and put forward the belief that the weak, the female, can take over the stronger male.

“He was the first to talk about dialectics, realizing that everything goes into the opposite. Hegel and other philosophers found this out 2,000 years after him.”

The professor calls himself a “practical Taoist”.

Among his published works in recent years is something named Do Nothing & Do Everything — a

Laozi tells us to respect nature. We don’t want to conquer it, but to appreciate and coexist with it.

So Laozi is the first environmentalist.”

ZHAO QIGUANG,

CHINESE-AMERICAN SCHOLAR

summary of the course he teaches in the US. He tells his readers that tai chi is not only body movement but also mental inspiration.

“So people follow the course of nature, understand the harmony between human beings and nature, and establish a healthy mind. This is the way to understand Taoism, and it is also the Taoist way to health and longevity.”

Zhao says like much ancient

Chinese wisdom, Taoism is of universal value and may offer answers to modern problems.

“Confucius emphasizes social structure, success, consequence — if you work hard you’ll be paid; if you raise good children you’ll get filial piety; if you are loyal and a good scholar you’ll be recognized by the emperor. Good. The Chinese used this for thousands of years for success,” he said.

But Zhao says we should not focus only on success.

“If we focus only on success all the time, we’ll pay a great cost because we ignore other things, such as health, harmony, and interpersonal relationships.”

He says modernization has also damaged the environment.

“Laozi tells us to respect nature.

We don’t want to conquer it, but to appreciate and coexist with it. So Laozi is the first environmentalist.

There is a lot that the world can learn from him today.”

In Zhao’s view, China must step up cultural exchanges with major world partners, such as the US.“When two big powers like the US and China coexist, we must have a flow of ideas, of knowledge, of personnel, of capital. People live on ideas. Material things disappear but ideas last.

“You add love to a house and it becomes a home. You add truth to a school and you have education.

You add ideas to the world and you have civilization. You put all of them together and you have a future.”

That is his dream, that he can build cultural bridges between the two countries, between the East and West.

“I believe Taoism is a universal ideal and that China can present its ideals of nature, harmony and beauty to the world, and the world will listen.

“I believe I can contribute by teaching about how we think, and I believe this is the peaceful way to spread Chinese soft power.”

When I think of Twitter, the first thing that comes to mind is jokes.

That’s because my feed is filled with funny people who spend hours cracking wise on the Internet. Comedy blog Splitsider even has a daily roundup of the best comedian tweets.

But does Twitter have a place on stage? I bring this up because on Friday, I saw John Mulaney do a bit I was pretty sure I had already read on his feed. Sure enough, when I went to check @Mulaney, there was a series of three tweets 8o HkZ_ from July 27 that were, =h[[dX[h] more or less, what he said at the DC Improv.

The bit was part of a riff with an audience member, so he was working off-the-cuff, and the thought probably re-entered his mind. Not like it matters — comics repeat material all the time.

When I spoke to Rob Delaney, one of the most re-tweeted comedians on Twitter (@RobDelaney), in March, he noted that his act and feed did not intersect. “I don’t just read tweets on stage,” he said. “I don’t think that would be a worthwhile evening of comedy.”

For Delaney, who has built a fan base almost solely on his feed, that makes sense. For someone like Mulaney, I see Twitter as a public joke notebook. If a tweet ends up making its way on stage, then it was probably destined to show up there anyway.

I[nkWb >[Wb_d] ‘Hope Springs’ packs a surprisingly strong emotional punch <_bc H[l_[m Here’s how surprisingly effective “Hope Springs” is: It will make you want to go home and have sex with your spouse. Or at least share a longer hug or a passionate kiss.

You don’t have to be married for 31 years like the stuck-in-a-rut couple Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones play to feel inspired by the film’s message about keeping your relationship alive. It sounds like a cliche because it is a cliche.

And yet, despite television ads that suggest pat, glossy superficiality, “Hope Springs” unearths some quiet and often uncomfortable truths. The film explores the complicated dynamics that develop over a long-term relationship with

great honesty and little judgment.

What looks like a standard rom-com turns into something akin to a modern Ingmar Bergman film.

Kay (Streep) and her husband, Arnold (Jones), live in a comfortable home in Omaha, Neb. Their children have grown up and moved out, leaving them to settle into a drab routine. When he comes home, some sort of meat-and-potatoes dinner is waiting for him. Afterward, she cleans up while he dozes off in the recliner. Then they head upstairs to sleep — in separate bedrooms.

It’s been this way for years.

couples’ therapy session. Arnold grudgingly agrees to join her, but once he sits down on the couch, it takes a while for him even to consider opening up to the soft-spoken Dr. Bernard Feld (Steve Carell).

The therapy scenes are just exquisitely acted and paced, with body language and slight facial gestures that speak volumes. The silences provide tension and intimacy, but once these two do begin answering questions, they reveal regrets, yearnings and fantasies they’d never dared to speak aloud.

Jones is doing his patented, humorously gruff persona but with some eventual vulnerability. Kay longs to be loved so desperately, your heart just aches for her — and yet, she also may bear much of the blame for the state of her marriage.

EX_jkWho Marvin Hamlisch was blessed with perfect pitch and an infallible ear.

“I heard sounds that other children didn’t hear,” he wrote in his autobiography.

Hamlisch, who died Monday at age 68 after a brief illness, turned that skill into writing and arranging compulsively memorable songs that the world was unable to stop humming — from the mournful “The Way We Were” to the jaunty theme from “The Sting.”

Prolific and seeming without boundaries, Hamlisch composed music for such film heroes as James Bond and Woody Allen, powerful singers such as Liza Minnelli and Aretha Franklin, and

CWhl_dÊi Cki_Y Hamlisch gave the movies a sound track; here’s some of his best work:

Most Memorable Songs: “Life Is What You Make It” from “Kotch” (1971) “The Entertainer” from “The Sting” (1973) “Nobody Does It Better” from “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977) ”Through The Eyes of Love” from “Ice Castles” (1978) Most Memorable Scores: “The Sting” (1973) “A Chorus Line” (Broadway, 1975; Film, 1985) “Ordinary People” (1980) “Sophie’s Choice” (1982) “The Way We Were” (1973)

Pithy put-downs became the trademark of pioneering film critic Judith Crist.

bune, Crist wrote about thousands of movies. She was among the first reviewers of her time to gain a national following, and Roger Ebert credited her with helping to make all film critics better known.

Crist, who was occasionally banned from advance screenings, reviewed film and theater for “Today” from 1964 to 1973, and as a print critic worked for New York magazine, TV Guide and the New York Post. HILLEL ITALIE (AP)

B_jjb[ C_ii 7c[h_YW ‘Here Comes Honey BooBoo’ details a slice of Southern life

I’m as powerless as anyJB9 '&0&& one to look away from “Here Comes Honey BooBoo,” TLC’s new reality series about Alana Holler, a 6-year-old kiddie pageant contestant from rural Georgia, and the boisterous clan that done gave birth to her.

Precocious, atrocious! She’s a Shirley Temple for this ceaseless Great Recession!

The show, premiering Wednesday with back-to-back episodes, is a horrifying and yet strangely sweet glimpse at American life as it is lived by a particular style of Americans

Alana Holler is the 6-year-old at the center of “Here Comes Honey BooBoo.”

medical crisis continues to bring the Ewings together and some long-buried secrets are revealed. Christopher and Elena (Jordana Brewster, left) come to realize that people aren’t always who they say they are — even people they thought they knew.

Good Grief, Matthew Perry This sneak peek at the new fall comedy “Go On” (11:04 p.m., NBC), introduces Ryan King (Perry, above), a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work following the loss of his wife. But Ryan’s alpha-male boss, Steven, has a different plan: making him attend grief counseling before returning.

A reluctant Ryan soon finds himself in a support group, where he meets some oddball characters. (TRIBUNE MEDIA)

that television finds increasingly irresistible, and yet: “We are not rednecks,” claim the older Holler daughters, even as the family prepares to spend their day at a redneck pride festival that features bobbing for pigs’ feet, mudhole bellyflop contests and overweight women clad in Confederate-flag bikinis.

This is a show about seemingly dumb people who are, in fact, quite smart, starting with Alana (aka Honey BooBoo) herself, whom fans of the network’s popular “Toddlers and Tiaras” have already met. Alana was an overnight hit when she first appeared on the show in January; with this spinoff, TLC is simply admitting that they — and we — are captivated by Honey BooBoo. Just point the camera at her and let it roll.
