Bill on racial testimony in capital cases heard AUSTIN (AP) — Texas lawmakers are considering legislation to help death row inmates challenge sentences based on testimony argued to be racist.

Democratic Rep. Senfronia Thompson of Houston said her House Bill 2458 would allow convicted murderers to appeal their sentences by proving racial prejudice factored significantly in their sentencing. They would have to accept a sentence of life without parole to qualify for a hearing.

Death penalty opponents rallied around the bill in the name of a black inmate named Duane Buck, who has drawn national attention to his campaign to win a new hearing. A witness in his case testified that race was a factor in his “future dangerousness.”

However, several members of the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee called the legislation unnecessary.

Report: US resorted to torture after 9/11 terror NEW YORK (AP) — An independent review of the U.S. government’s anti-terrorism response after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks reported Tuesday that it is “indisputable” the United States engaged in torture and the George W. Bush administration bears responsibility.

The report by the Constitution Project, a non-partisan Washington-based think-tank, is an ambitious review of the Bush administration’s approach to the problems of holding and interrogating detainees after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The report says brutality has occurred in war before, “But there is no evidence there had ever before been the kind of considered and detailed discussions that occurred after September 11, directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and legality of inflicting pain and torment on some detainees in our custody.”

The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, John Bolton, called the report “completely divorced from reality” and stressed that the procedures were “lawyered, and lawyered again, and lawyered again.”

Shea Dionisio always wanted a tattoo, but his parents did not approve.

So he became creative.

All it took was a trip to Gulf Shores, Ala., during Spring Break 2012 and some daringness to discover a solution to this problem.

“It was something that we wanted to be spontaneous, like, spur-of-the-moment, let’s get a tattoo on spring break,” he said. “It’ll be fun, something to remember.”

Stepping into a tattoo shop with his friend, Dionisio knew there was no turning back. He purchased a tattoo and felt confident visiting his parents the very next day because of its hidden location.

“I didn’t want to have something they could see during the summer if I’m hanging out at the pool,” he said, “so I figured on my butt was the safest place to put it.”

That’s right.

While vacationing, the sophomore biology major from Hallsville decided to tattoo his butt with the image of his favorite celebrity — Will Ferrell.

“I wanted something different, something I could live with,” Dionisio said, “something that I don’t regret because ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

E. A portrait of Will Ferrell

I love it. I look at it every day.”

Initially, he said he could not decide what to get tattooed.

He did not want the typical words “your name” tattooed on his butt, so he began to think outside the box and came up with the idea for the famous actor/comedian’s portrait.

Almost all the movies Dionisio owns have Ferrell in them, he said.

“Everyone loves Will Ferrell,” Dionisio said. “Nobody just like straight up says, ‘I hate Will Ferrell.’ He’s just a beloved actor.”

After his friend got a tattoo of two fishhooks on his shoulder, Dionisio pitched his tattoo proposal to the artist, who immediately fell in love with the idea.

“He was going to do it for really cheap,” he said. “He was like, ‘I’ll do both you guys’ tattoos for $500,’ I think, and that wasn’t bad for two tattoos.”

Dionisio had many different options of Ferrell portraits to pick from for his tattoo. He bypassed images of Buddy the Elf, Ricky Bobby and Anchorman to choose a black and white silhouette of the actor.

While his friend’s tattoo took 25 minutes, Dionisio’s was a two-hour ordeal. Although the outlining did not hurt that bad, he said the shading felt differently.

“That was the part that kind of made you clench,” Dionisio said.

FAX: 806-742-2434

When he first viewed the finished product, it surprised him, he said, because of its size.

“I didn’t think it was going to be that big,” Dionisio said.

“I looked back at it and it looked fine, and then after it was over I was like, ‘It’s pretty big.’”

Even though Dionisio drank alcohol earlier that day prior to his tattoo, he said he was not drunk when he entered the tattoo shop.

“The guy wouldn’t have done it if I was drunk because you’re more likely to bleed and there’s more liability,” he said. “I was pretty sober.”

Now that he is back in Lubbock, Dionisio said his tattoo has almost paid for itself in free drinks when he goes to the bars.

“People don’t believe me, and I’m like, ‘All right, let’s bet a shot or something,’ and they’re like, ‘All right, whatever,’” he said, “and so I just pull down my pants and they’re like, ‘(pause) I guess I owe you a shot.’”

His tattoo is the best conversation starter, Dionisio said, and he has no problem sharing its story with people he has never met.

“I have no shame,” he said. “I’ve never had any shame.

I’ve always been very extroverted, I guess.”

Pressure cooker bombs used in past by militants CAIRO (AP) — Homemade bombs built from pressure cookers, a version of which was used in the Boston Marathon bombings, have been a frequent weapon of militants in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.

Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen once published an online manual on how to make one, urging “lone jihadis” to act on their own to carry out attacks.

President Barack Obama underlined Tuesday that investigators do not know if the twin bombing the day before that killed three people and wounded more than 170 was carried out by an international organization, a domestic group or a “malevolent individual.” There has been no claim of responsibility.

A person briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press that the explosives were fashioned out of pressure cookers and packed with shards of metal, nails and ball bearings to inflict

maximum carnage.

The relative ease of constructing such bombs and the powerful punch they deliver has made them attractive to insurgents and Islamic extremists, particularly in South Asia. They have turned up in past bombing plots by Islamic extremists in the West, including a plan by a U.S. soldier to blow up a restaurant frequented by fellow soldiers outside Fort Hood, in Texas. One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, according to a joint FBI and Homeland Security intelligence report issued in July 2010.

Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen gave a detailed description on how to make a pressure cooker bomb in the 2010 first issue of “Inspire,” its magazine that only appears online, in a chapter titled “Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom.”

In preparation for May being Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center hosted the first academic seminar to recognize Asian cultures and societies.

Topics included Asian immigration to the U.S., Asian stereotypes in the media, education and the resurrection of the fear of the “yellow peril,” a term used to describe the wave of immigration during the 19th century.

Each topic included a group of panelists from the university, who gave their thoughts on the subject and answered questions from the audience.

Aliza Wong, an assistant professor in the Department of History at Texas Tech, said cross-cultural knowledge and understanding of Asian culture is more important now because of how co-dependent the economies are.

China is the No. 1 holder of America’s debt, she said, and Japan and Taiwan are second and sixth, respectively.

“When we’re that codependent, it’s vital,” Wong said about cultural understanding. “It creates both fear and trust at the same time, and those are two emotions at opposite polls, and they get played a lot in the politics of diplomatic negotiations.”

The perceived idea about how big Asia’s impact is on American culture, she said, is recent. But, it is not just the advancements in technology that have made an impact on the U.S., she said.

There is a long history of Asian involvement in American politics, economy and the overall construction of American culture, Wong said.

Chinese-Americans helped build the railroads, she said.

and East Coast and they helped mine for gold to find a new set of wealth.

“Part of the history that’s missing in American history is the contributions of Chinese,” Wong said. “Certainly, there were considered sort of migrant laborers, but if you look, a good number of them stayed and they build the foundation for third, fourth and fifth generations.”

During the discussion about stereotypes in the media, the panel showed a campaign video from an American politician who was running on the platform of decreasing the nation’s debt.

The commercial was of a woman from Asia who spoke broken English. In the video, she thanked Americans for borrowing money and providing jobs overseas.

Amber Bature, a history graduate student, said she focuses a lot on gender, and was discussed at the video.

of panelists discussed the education systems in Asia, as well as the increased pressure for academic success put on students.

Huazhong Shi, an associate professor in chemistry and biology, grew up in China. He said the pressure students feel, both from their parents and from society, is stressful.

Because China has such a large population, getting accepted to a post-secondary school is very competitive. The balance between school and fun, he said, is tilted differently than in America.

At the end of the seminar, Wong said cultural celebrations are important, but they have a bigger impact when they are coupled with seminars.

“This is where true power is,” she said. “And this is where we do what we do because first and foremost, this is about education.

Not just about our students, but all of us as global citizens.” ➤➤mdotray@dailytoreador.com

Gun background-check supporters struggle for votes WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate gun control supporters struggled Tuesday to salvage their drive to expand background checks to more buyers, buoyed by a visit from wounded former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords but facing enough potential opponents to derail their endeavor unless they can figure out how to win more votes.

No. 2 Democratic leader Richard Durbin of Illinois, his party’s chief vote counter, left a lunch of Democratic senators saying they would need support from nine or 10 Republicans — a tall order. Subjecting more firearms transactions to

the background checks now is the main thrust of the gun control effort launched after December’s killings of 20 schoolchildren and six adults in Newtown, Conn.

Attending Tuesday’s Senate lunch was Giffords, the Arizona Democrat severely hurt in a 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly. The two, gun owners both, have started a political committee that backs candidates who favor gun restrictions.

“His message was, ‘We’ve been through this,’” Durbin said, describing Kelly’s remarks to the lawmak-

know,” she said, “was why it was a female and why does she coyly look down and then look back up at the camera when she says ‘us.’

And who is she supposed to be? Is it China or are we just supposed to consider all Asians from the same place?”

Bature said she studies the way Vietnamese women, specifically during the Vietnam War, are depicted in the media.

“Typically, women are always cast in either two different stereotypes,” she said. “They’re either the villain, and she’s usually a prostitute, or the victim, and she’s also usually a prostitute.”

Wong, who was on the panel during this discussion, said the audience sees a lot on stereotypes in the media, such as Chinese waitresses or martial arts movies, that do not display any form of authenticity or reality.

The stereotypes, she said, display what the audience needs characters to portray.

ers. “’We’re ready to fight back to stand up for those who have the courage to vote for gun safety.’”

Giffords did not address the lawmakers.

In a blow to gun control advocates, Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., became the latest Republican to say he will oppose a bipartisan compromise broadening background checks.

“I believe that this legislation could lead to the creation of a national gun registry and puts additional burdens on law-abiding citizens,” he said.

Before the lunch, Giffords and Kelly met privately with Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa. The two senators have written compromise legislation that would expand background checks to cover gun shows and the Internet, a plan gun control supporters think gives them the best chance of pushing a broader system of checks than the current one through the Senate.

“They’re helping immensely just by being here and talking to our colleagues. We’re close, but we sure

need their help,” Manchin said after that meeting.

The two senators’ effort is aimed at weeding out criminals and the seriously mentally ill from getting firearms. The current background check system applies only to transactions with licensed gun dealers.

Though the Senate has been debating a broader gun bill for days, it remained unclear when votes on the Manchin-Toomey plan or other amendments would begin. Democrats were hoping roll calls could start as early as Wednesday, with the two senators’ proposal generally seen as the first vote.

President Barack Obama, in an interview with NBC’s “Today” show, urged lawmakers to pay attention to public support for expanding background checks and remember the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“The notion that Congress would defy the overwhelming instinct of the American people after what we saw happen in Newtown, I think is unimaginable,” Obama said in the interview, aired Tuesday.

Besides the Manchin-Toomey proposal, Democrats were ready to offer other amendments — likely to lose — banning military-style assault weapons and ammunition magazines capable of carrying more than 10 rounds. Authorities have said both were used in the Newtown rampage.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Senate GOP leader, said he was working on an amendment requiring states to recognize each other’s permits for carrying concealed weapons.

While all states but Illinois, plus the District of Columbia, issue permits or have other arrangements for permitting concealed weapons, nine states don’t recognize permits from other states. Gun rights defenders say making it easier to move firearms between states is protected by the Constitution, while opponents complain it would hurt states that have stricter standards for permits than others.

La Vida

Son of Magic Johnson talks about being gay for years LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 20-year-old son of basketball great Magic Johnson is surprised by the public interest in his being gay, something that he revealed to his supportive family several years ago.

Earvin Johnson III, known as E.J., says he feels like he’s coming out of the closet a second time and that he’s “reveling” in the experience — even though news of his sexual orientation broke publicly sooner than he had planned.

In an interview posted Tuesday on the YouTube.com talk show “Gwissues,” Johnson said that he didn’t feel violated after TMZ recently revealed that he’s gay.

“I always wanted to come into the spotlight,” he said. “I always had dreams and plans of doing my own thing and creating my own image, so it came a little sooner than I thought it would but this is still something I knew I would be going through and would have to experience.”

The younger Johnson is a junior at New York University studying event management and design with an interest in fashion, journalism and media.

He said the public reaction has ranged from support to criticism, including online postings involving “nasty things about me and what I’m doing.”

“It’s almost like they’re attacking me for being me and so to that I can only say, ‘Well, I can only be myself, so I don’t know really what you want me to do,’” he told “Gwissues” host and interviewer Howard Bragman, a publicist who recently began representing Johnson.

Johnson’s father, who co-owns the Los Angeles Dodgers, retired from the NBA in November 1991 after announcing he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. His wife, Cookie, was pregnant with E.J. at the time. The couple also has an adopted daughter, Elisa, and Magic has an

older son, Andre, from a previous relationship.

“I am very, very, very blessed to have the family that I do,” E.J. Johnson said. “My parents have always been super supportive. My sister and I have always been really close and she’s been really supportive as with my brother. When it was time to come out, I was, obviously, scared as most people are. After I got all the love and support from my family then I knew I could go out and conquer the world, I guess.”

Johnson said he first came out to his mother, who approached him when he was 13 or 14.

“I told her how I was feeling and she obviously told me that she had known and always would love me anyway. The same thing happened with my dad like a year or so later,” he said. “Everyone has to get used to it. No parent is prepared 100 percent and fully for something like that. We all had to work and move forward.”

Tattoos↵

cause of a breakup, or even by a licensed artist, though.

While in high school, Upchurch bought a tattoo machine, ink and needles, and decided to diversify his skillset by tattooing himself and his peers.

“I talked to artists and they’d give me hints and tips,” he said, “and then I’d start slinging ink and scaring people up a little bit.”

Upchurch felt confident in his abilities to pick up tattooing because of his success in art and painting, but said it was nervewracking.

“I wouldn’t do anything to anybody,” he said, “that I wouldn’t first do to myself.”

He kept his equipment in a tackle box with about 20 different ink colors, all of his needles individually sterilized in sealed packages and new needles for each different person.

Upchurch said many people were eager for him to practice on them.

“Wherever I went I would take it with me,” he said, “looking to make a buck.”

Overall, Upchurch estimates he probably gave about 50 tattoos to people. He also gave himself two, one of an apple and the other his signature.

He said he prefers not to discuss those.

“Who you are today,” he said, “may not be who you will be tomorrow.”

Upchurch said he rebelled toward the end of high school and has grown up since. He said he now thinks his tattoos are unprofessional and plans to have them removed later in life.

“That was something I really don’t want people to know me by — is tattoos,” he said, “and most job fields that I’m looking to go into, it’s kind of frowned upon and looked down upon having tattoos.”

However, Upchurch said realistically, he will probably continue to make bad decisions and document more parts of his life with tattoos.

“I’ll keep it definitely hidden,” he said, “like the anchor, it’s pretty out there. I can’t wear short-sleeved shirts most the time, but the rest of mine are hidden pretty well.”

While most of Upchurch’s tattoos come from a rebellious period, Opal Gonzales’ tattoos all have special meanings to her.

Gonzales, a sophomore nutrition major from Big Spring, got her first tattoo after she turned 18.

The design is a peacock with the word “beloved,” which she said is significant because peacocks are ugly unless they open their feathers to reveal their inner beauty.

“I was kind of feeling unappreciated or feeling low self-value,” she said, “so whenever I realized there was a lot to me, then I realized I was beloved.”

Gonzales went with her mother to get this tattoo.

“Then she was just like, ‘Don’t get anymore, don’t get anymore,’” Gonzales said, “but I just like them so much.”

Tattoos are addicting, Gonzales said, and she continued to purchase them. The designs included a Mockingjay tattoo from “The Hunger Games” trilogy and an Indian girl she plans to get retouched.

“They’re just like yours and it’s individualized,” she said. “You can have whatever you want and you can have it on you forever.”

Gonzales does not regret her tattoos and encourages others to get tattoos, too.

“I feel like being tattooed is more acceptable in today’s society than it was a few years ago,” she said, “so I mean, if you have something that you’re interested in, I would definitely say go get one.”

As for people who tell her she will regret her tattoos when she is older, Gonzales disagrees with them.

“As you get older, you’re going to get wrinkly,” she said. “You’re going to get old anyways, and by then people just don’t care what you look like.”

While Gonzales, Ham and Upchurch all display and converse freely about their body art, Dionisio hopes to conceal his Ferrell portrait from his parents as long as possible.

“They didn’t know,” he said.

“They just assumed it was a normal spring break of just drinking and fun —no tattoos.”

ANSWERS FROM PAGE 1: 1C; 2A; 3B; 4D; 5E.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

No one has complained about his tattoo to him yet, Dionisio said, and most people tell him it is awesome.

“I haven’t had anyone be like, ‘That’s stupid,’” he said. “Most people are just shocked.”

As of now, Dionisio does not think he will ever regret his tattoo.

“Maybe when I’m older,” he said, “and he’s starting to sag.”

However, there are many people on campus who, unlike Dionisio, wish they had never gotten a tattoo.

One of these students is Nick Ham, a junior finance major from Dallas.

Ham’s story begins similarly to Dionisio’s — during spring break.

After taking shots of alcohol with his friends in Dallas his freshman year, Ham vaguely remembers the night.

“I remember someone convincing me that if I got a tattoo, they would get one also,” he said. “I think they were more sober than I was — that didn’t happen.”

Ham woke up confused the next morning when he stepped out of bed.

“I thought I had broken my foot,” he said, “and I looked at my foot and there was all this bandaging and stuff on there and it really hurt.”

While removing the bandaging, Ham could not believe what he saw. During the previous night’s escapades, he had tattooed a pot leaf on his foot.

“Everyone laughed really hard, honestly,” he said. “It was kind of a joke, and it sucked.”

Years later, Ham is still embarrassed by the tattoo and wears socks most the time.

When asked what his tattoo is of, he has a prepared explanation ready.

“It’s a Japanese maple leaf,” he said with a grin.

Ham despises his tattoo and said he will never get another one because tattoos are stupid.

“There’s no point in putting little drawings on your body,” he said, “no matter how significant you think it is.”

Matt Upchurch, a senior marketing and management major from New Deal, is another student who is regretful of his tattoos, most of which come from around the time he attended high school.

“It’s just something you have to live with for the rest of your life,” he said. “You’re always going to have a mark there, regardless if you get it removed or not.”

The first tattoo Upchurch got was an anchor with two roses on his arm.

“Like most bad decisions,” he said, “it was because of a girl.”

Upchurch received his most recent tattoo in New Orleans during Spring Break 2012 when he was coming back from Panama City, Fla.: a four-leaf clover on his thigh to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. His other tattoos are not be-

Animal chiropractors offer pet care alternative LOS ANGELES (AP) — Thirty years ago, Dr. Gene Giggleman was a veterinarian who thought chiropractors were quacks. Since then, he says he’s straightened out thousands of dogs and cats, not to mention the occasional snake, hamster, gerbil and guinea pig.

“And I know people who have adjusted pigs, goats and rodeo bulls,” said Giggleman, a professor at Parker University in Dallas, which specializes in chiropractic care.

In Southern California, Dr. Rod Block has tended to an elephant, a paralyzed iguana, a turkey, pigs, llamas and countless dogs and horses.

“You have to be very much in tune with the being of the animal you are working with,” said Block, who limits his work these days to house calls throughout Southern California, where he works with several veterinarians.

The vets say any human or animal with a spine-related problem can benefit from a chiropractic adjustment, like the 38-year-old horse that is one of Block’s patients. “He’s not rideable, but he’s mobile. He’s off steroids and free to roam around and enjoy the remainder of his life relatively painfree,” Block said.

The horse doesn’t get top billing in his new book though. “Like Chiropractic for Elephants” describes how he treated a gimpy elephant at a private sanctuary, how her herd accepted him and how she used body language to help him find her pain.

Through the book, Block said he hopes “to demystify chiropractic.”

“I really want to illuminate the differences between what allopathic (mainstream) veterinary medical care does and what chiropractic does and how the two integrate well even though they are at opposite ends of the pole,” he said.

Air Force ROTC beneficial to academia

By PATRICK NEWMAN Paying for the high costs of a college education today is stressful at best, difficult ordinarily and impossible at worst.

Yet there is a practical solution available. Air Force ROTC can provide the answer to the most pressing problems facing college students today.

However important practical benefits may be, the intangible benefits are what matter most.

By joining the military, there is an opportunity to provide purpose for one’s life, something one’s peers may struggle with in the future.

Being in the military means putting one’s country and comrades before their own interests, and being part of something greater than oneself can give them the kind of self-respect and satisfaction that lasts the rest of their life. One also can have the time of their life in the process. There is an opportunity to make some of the best friends in life in Air Force ROTC and the military.

That being said, there is no shortage of practical benefits attached to ROTC. Air Force ROTC can provide the financial aid needed to pursue a college education. For college students entering the program

who excel and display great merit, there is a strong chance they can receive substantial scholarships. One such scholarship is the Texas Armed Services Scholarship, offering up to $10,000 per year for one’s college education.

There also is the In-College Scholarship Program, which allows eligible cadets the possibility to receive over $9,000 per year for tuition, for up to three and a half years. These scholarships are based on both academic and cadet performance, so if a student thinks they have what it takes, earning one of these scholarships can pave the way for a successful college experience.

These are not the only ways the Air Force can assist students’ education. If one majors in a vital foreign language, the Foreign Language Express Scholarship Program can offer a student the opportunity to receive up to $15,000 per year for tuition, plus money for textbooks and a monthly stipend.

All cadets on scholarship receive a monthly stipend as well, going up to $500 in their senior year. In addition to all of this, the Air Force ROTC detachment at Texas Tech is offering more scholarships to promising cadets than ever before. If a

student is looking for a way to pay for college, now is the best time to join.

Air Force ROTC does not just help with getting through college, though. It offers one of the most desired commodities a college student could ask for: A guaranteed job after college. If a student completes the training Air Force ROTC offers, they will be guaranteed a job as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force.

Regardless of one’s major, an yon e can join Air Force ROTC, and many of the possible careers available to a new second lieutenant are available to any major. In addition to a guaranteed job, one will have access to the many benefits available to those serving our country. So, if a student is worrying about their future after college, choosing to join Air Force ROTC can put their mind at ease.

Speculation will get us nowhere By: CALEB HENDRICH

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGIAN (COLORADO STATE U.)

The Boston Marathon is one of the oldest, most well-known and largest marathons in the world. It regularly attracts an average of 20,000 participants from all over the world, and draws thousands of spectators.

Yesterday, it was at the center of the world’s attention as two bombs detonated near the finish line. At the time of print, three people were killed in the blasts, and left more than a hundred more injured. At time of print, information about who is responsible for this attack and what their motivation was is scarce at best.

What we know is that there is going to be a massive investigation involving multiple different law enforcement agencies doing as much as they can to try figure out who is behind the attack.

Speculation, however, is going to get us absolutely nowhere which is something that the media are certainly guilty of doing. And it doesn’t help the situation at all.

For instance, there was wild speculation that the bombing might have been the work of a terrorist or terrorist organization. Guesses ranged from the work of a lone domestic terrorist (a la Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City Bombing) to the work of international groups like al-Qaeda.

We just don’t know that, and throwing the word “terrorism” does

not answer any questions about that attack. If anything, all it does is stir up fears unnecessarily. For all we know at this point there could be any number of motives, ranging from political motives, to personal motives, to disillusionment. Everything is a possibility at this point, and singling out terrorism does nothing to help inform the public.

Official descriptions on the bombing are conflicting. White House officials stated to the Boston Globe that they are treating the event as they would a terrorist attack, but the President was careful to avoid the term when he addressed the nation yesterday.

William Keating, a representative from the Department of Homeland Security, was similarly circumspect, stating “There is clearly a coordinated, sophisticated attack that has taken place, the nature of which is not clear now.” While they are not ruling out the possibility of a terrorist attack, they are also acknowledging that they have no firm evidence that suggests what the exact motive was.

That does not mean that this absolutely was a terrorist attack. It just means that the exact motive for the attack is unknown, which is understandable considering that it’s only been a day since the event took place.

Singling out terrorism also does not help when people start trying to figure out who might be behind it. The prime speculation that was reported concerned a person of

interest who was quoted as a “Saudinational,” despite the fact that the man in question was one of several people questioned by authorities.

There is no reason to suspect that this man is the bomber, or part of the group responsible for the bombing — none. There are currently no suspects at all, which is something that the Boston Police Department is trying to hammer home to media outlets.

To say otherwise is irresponsible and reckless; particularly given the prejudices surrounding those of Middle Eastern descent. For some people, the only things they have to hear is “bombing” and “Middle Eastern,” and they think they have everything figured out; which they don’t.

The person (or persons) behind this event could be anyone, from this country or from abroad and could have any number of reasons to instigate an attack. The truth behind the bombing could be in line with the speculation, or it could be something completely different. The rumors could be true, but they could just as well be false.

The hard truth that we all have to swallow for the moment is that we aren’t going to know anything substantive about the attack anytime soon. Speculation just isn’t going to get us anywhere at this point, no matter how much as we might want to try and figure it out.

All we can really do is allow law enforcement to do their jobs. Only then will we be able to get some hard answers about this tragedy.

Minimum wage laws unproductive and ineffective, should be abolished I recently returned from an incredible semester spent in America’s distant, more attractive sibling: Australia. My experiences there gave me a new perspective on – among other things – minimum wage laws.

While studying at the University of Canberra, I worked part-time at a college pub near the school.

Although this meant passing a bartending certification exam, it basically required knowing that alcohol poisoning is bad.

Moreover, thanks to Australia’s obscenely high minimum wage, the job paid an impressive-sounding $23 an hour.

Because our dollar is currently worth less than Australia’s, this ended up being a fantastic salary when I got back to the US. It was considerably less remarkable, however, when I was actually in Australia.

Unfortunately, it turns out that doubling everyone’s wages doesn’t make everyone twice as rich, it just makes everything twice as expensive. Vending machines, for example, charge $4.50 per drink, and I couldn’t find a barbershop that

I learned more about minimum wage laws while traveling around New South Wales. I met two young Germans who had come to Australia through an amazing program called WWOOF, or Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

In exchange for helping out on a small farm, travelers who sign up with WWOOF can obtain free room and board all over the world and learn how to grow food in the process. However, because the work is unpaid, minimum wage advocates are less than thrilled about the idea and are working to shut the

According to a May 7, 2011, Redding article, Allan Griggs, a California farmer who participates in the program, is now “forced to

pay his WWOOFers the minimum wage of $8 an hour if they work more than four hours a day,” which “may make it economically impractical for him to use them in the future.”

Bowler-hatted impersonators mark legend Charlie Chaplin birthday ADIPUR, India (AP) — Canes in hand and bowler hats atop their heads, Charlie Chaplin impersonators tramped through the streets of a small port town in western India to celebrate the birthday of the Hollywood silentfilm legend.

Chaplin has an odd resonance in this industrial town. Surrounded by salt flats bordering the Thar desert, Adipur’s only claim to fame is the annual parade — now in its 40th year — to honor the filmmaker and comic actor known for his “Tramp” character.

More than 100 people participated in the parade that included brass bands, camel carts and open jeeps carrying life-sized cut-outs of Chaplin. Men and women dressed in crumpled black suits and carrying canes practiced the cheerful bowlegged walk of the Tramp as the parade made its way through the streets.

“Charlie Chaplin is our hero.

Every year we celebrate his birthday with a parade,” said Ashok Aswani, founder of Charlie Circle, a club that has been celebrating Chaplin’s birthday since 1973.

Women dressed in colorful local costumes performed traditional Indian dances around the

Chaplin impersonators as boom boxes loaded on small trucks belted out Hindi film songs.

The two-hour long parade winds down with club members performing skits mimicking Chaplin and the day’s festivities end with a screening of one of his classic films. Chaplin’s filmography includes “City Lights” and “Modern Times,” both still considered among Hollywood’s greatest films.

Chaplin, born in London in 1889 and one of the most significant figures in early Hollywood, has long had a following in filmloving India.

Aswani, a portly 64-yearold wearing a black bowler hat and sporting Chaplin’s trademark toothbrush mustache, said Chaplin’s films have a universal appeal.

“Every Chaplin film has a message for the common man.

It’s a message that has relevance even today,” Aswani said.

Aswani said the first Chaplin film he watched was “The Gold Rush,” back in 1966 and was hooked.

Aswani recalled that he was on his way to work when he saw a poster of Charlie Chaplin dressed as the Tramp at the local movie hall.

“I watched all three shows of the film that day. The next day I was sacked from my job for taking the day off without informing the office,” Aswani said.

“I lost my job, but I discovered Charlie Chaplin, and I’ve stayed his fan ever since,” he said.

Aswani, who practices traditional Indian medicine for a living, said that he often hands out DVDs of Chaplin films to his patients when they are feeling low.

“They always return feeling upbeat and wanting more Chaplin films,” he said.

The Charlie Circle club has about 200 members, all living in and around Adipur, and the annual bash for Chaplin’s birthday is the club’s highlight.

Among the members is 79-year-old Arjunji Bhimji Karia, a retired bus driver, who counts himself among Chaplin’s oldest fans.

“I saw my first Charlie Chaplin film when I was a young boy of 10 in Karachi, before my family moved from Pakistan to India,” said Karia.

“I would mimic Charlie Chaplin to amuse my wife,” said Karia, now a widower. “She would laugh out loud and that made me so happy.”

Online nonprofit InsideClimate News wins Pulitzer Indian state stops Playboy beach club from opening NEW YORK (AP) — In a sign of a rapidly changing media world, a relatively unknown New York-based online nonprofit news site joined some of the country’s most well-known media outlets in claiming a Pulitzer Prize, the highest honor in journalism.

InsideClimate News won the Pulitzer Monday for national reporting for its reports on problems in the regulation of the nation’s oil pipelines. Founded five years ago, InsideClimateNews reports on energy and the environment.

Writers Lisa Song, Elizabeth McGowan and David Hasemyer were recognized for a project that began with an investigation into a million-gallon spill of Canadian tar sands oil into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan in 2010. The reporters went on to look more broadly at pipeline safety and the particular hazards of a form of oil called diluted bitumen, or “dilbit.”

“I think it’s a very hopeful sign. I think it really shows the way the journalism ethos reconfigures itself as times change,” said Sig Gissler, the administrator of the prizes.

“This is a different way for journalists to practice their trade and make a contribution,” McGowan said. “The fourth estate has lost a lot. This is a way we’re making a gain.”

The Pulitzers, journalism’s highest honor, are given out each year by Columbia University on the recommendation of a board of journalists and others. Each award carries a $10,000 prize except for the public service award, which is a gold medal.

The Associated Press received the award in breaking news photography for its coverage of the civil war in Syria.

The Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., received the public service award for an investigation

of off-duty police officers’ reckless driving, and longtime Pulitzer powerhouses The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post were recognized for commentary and criticism, respectively.

The Star-Tribune of Minneapolis captured two awards, for local reporting and editorial cartooning.

Cheers erupted in the Denver Post’s newsroom when word came that the newspaper had won the Pulitzer in the breaking news category for its coverage — via text, social media and video — of the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colo., that killed 12 people during a midnight showing of a new Batman movie last summer.

The honor was bittersweet for some, and people teared up and shared hugs.

“We are part of this community. The tragedy touches us, but we have a job to do,” said Kevin Dale, the Post’s news director.

The New York Times’ David Barstow and Alejandra Xanic von Bertrab won the investigative reporting award for stories that detailed how Wal-Mart Stores Inc. systematically bribed Mexican officials with millions of dollars to get permission to build several stores across the country.

The Times’ reporting spurred federal investigations.

The Times’ David Barboza received the international reporting award for his look at a how a “Red Nobility,” made up of relatives of top Chinese officials, has made fortunes in businesses closely tied to the government.

The Times staff won the explanatory reporting award for looking at the business practices of Apple Inc. and other technology companies and illustrating “the darker side of a changing global economy for workers and consumers,” the judges said.

In the feature writing cat-

egory, John Branch of the Times won for a gripping narrative of an avalanche that trapped 16 skiers and snowboarders in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state.

Told through photos, video, graphics and magazine-style text, the piece was lauded in the industry as setting a new standard for multimedia journalism.

The paper’s editors “view the wonderful bounty of prizes as a real tribute to the newsroom’s excellence and dedication,” Executive Editor Jill Abramson told the staff.

The AP’s Rodrigo Abd, Manu Brabo, Narciso Contreras, Khalil Hamra and Muhammed Muheisen were recognized for “producing memorable images under extreme hazard” while covering the Syrian war, the judges wrote.

Their images depict the dazed and weeping wounded; a heartbroken man cradling the body of his bloodied, barefoot son; a sobbing, fatherless child; an 11-year-old aiming a toy rocketpropelled grenade.

AP Director of Photography Santiago Lyon called the winners “some of the bravest and most talented photographers in the world.”

The same conflict was the subject of the winning entry in feature photography. Javier Manzano, a freelance photographer, won for an image of two rebel soldiers guarding their position as light streams through bullet holes in a nearby wall. The photograph was distributed by Agence France-Presse.

At the Sun Sentinel, reporters explored speeding by off-duty

officers. The reporting led to suspensions, firings and police policy changes.

“It feels great to win for that story because it really changed things here for the better,” Editor Howard Saltz said.

At the Star Tribune, Brad Schrade, Jeremy Olson and Glenn Howatt captured the Pulitzer for local reporting for examining a sharp rise in in infant deaths at day-care centers, reporting that spurred stronger regulation. Minnesota authorities reported last week that day care deaths have dropped significantly.

It was “really satisfying we had an impact,” Schrade said.

Steve Sack, who has been at the paper for 35 years, won for editorial cartooning.

In opinion writing categories, Bret Stephens of The Wall Street Journal received the commentary award for columns on American foreign policy and domestic politics.

The Washington Post’s chief art critic, Philip Kennicott, was honored for writing on the sociology of images. In one case, he focused on a picture of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama hugging, calling it a portrait of a modern marriage.

The editorial writing award went to Tim Nickens and Daniel Ruth of the Tampa Bay Times for a series of editorials that helped reverse a decision to end fluoridation of the water supply in Pinellas County, home to 700,000 people. Formerly the St. Petersburg Times, the newspaper is owned by the nonprofit Poynter Institute.

PANAJI, India (AP) — India’s going to have to wait for its first Playboy bunnies.

After a month of heated debate, the government in the tourist hotspot of Goa refused permission for promoters to open the country’s first Playboy club in a 22,000-square-foot open-air property on upmarket Candolim beach.

Women’s groups and conservative politicians had attacked the proposed club, with Michael Lobo, a legislator from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party saying it was “tantamount to promoting prostitution.”

In the end, the government barred the club from opening in one of India’s most famous party locations on technical grounds. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told the state assembly Monday that licenses to run so-called beach shacks — even ones as large as the proposed Playboy club — could not be granted to companies,

only individuals.

“We cannot give them a license to operate a beach shack,” Parrikar said.

Mumbai-based PB Lifestyle announced last year it had obtained an exclusive license to open Playboy clubs, hotels, bars and cafes and sell Playboy branded merchandise in India. It said it would start with a club in Goa and then expand to the southern city of Hyderabad.

PB Lifestyle chief executive Sanjay Gupta did not immediately respond to a message left at his office.

He said last year he was working to recast Playboy into an aspirational lifestyle brand that wouldn’t spark a backlash in the conservative country, distancing itself from nudity and toning down the traditional, bodyhugging bunny costume.

Goa’s decision does not bar the opening of a conventional Playboy club in in the state, just the beach shack.

Woman self-publishes, hits best-seller lists SULPHUR SPRINGS (AP) — After a feverish month of inspiration, Colleen Hoover had finally fulfilled her dream of writing a book.

With family and friends asking to read the emotional tale of first love, the married mother of three young boys living in rural East Texas and working 11-hour days as a social worker decided to digitally self-publish on Amazon, where they could download it for free for a week.

“I had no intentions of ever getting the book published. I was just writing it for fun,” said Hoover, who uploaded “Slammed” a year ago in January.

Soon after self-publishing, peo-

ple she didn’t know were downloading the book — even after it was only available for a fee. Readers began posting reviews and buzz built on blogs. Missing her characters, she self-published the sequel, “Point of Retreat,” a month later. By June, both books hit Amazon’s Kindle top 100 best-seller list. By July, both were on The New York Times bestseller list for e-books. Soon after, they were picked up by Atria Books, a Simon & Schuster imprint. By fall, she had sold the movie rights.

“I wasn’t expecting any of this at all. And I’m not saying I don’t like it, but it’s taken a lot of getting used to,” said the 33-year-old Hoover, who quit her job last summer to

Spring storm brings needed snow to Colo., Wyo. DENVER (AP) — A slow moving spring storm is bringing much-needed moisture to parts of the Rockies and the Plains, but winds are raising the wildfire danger to the south.

Rocky Mountain National Park has already gotten over 2 feet of snow and more is expected to fall through Wednesday. Southeastern Wyoming could also get up to a foot. It was also snowing in western South Dakota and Nebraska, and the storm is expected to push farther into Nebraska and Colorado’s plains Wednesday night.

The first round of the storm came Monday, when Cheyenne, Wyo., received 6.9 inches of snow, breaking the old record of 6 inches set back in 1890. The snow also postponed the opening game of the Colorado Rockies-New York Mets series in Denver. The teams were hoping to squeeze in a doubleheader Tuesday before snow was expected to pick up again.

Blowing snow has closed some highways in Colorado and Wyoming and is causing delays at Denver International Airport because planes need to be de-iced.

“Our crews can easily keep that road surface sustainable for travel, but if the wind comes up and you start get drifting and visibility problems then really you can’t plow fast enough to fix that, so it can be a losing battle at times,” Wyoming Department of Transportation spokesman Bruce Burrows said.

The storm forced some Wyoming colleges and schools to close early Tuesday, and some state government meetings were canceled. Even a “Storm Spotter Training” session in Lander was canceled because of the storm, according to the National Weather Service.

Meanwhile, parts of Colorado, including the state’s southwestern corner and the agricultural San Luis Valley, along with parts of New Mexico and Arizona are forecast to only get strong winds from the system, making it easier for wildfires to spread in the dry areas.

In southwest Colorado, La Plata Electric Association said blustery winds and downed trees were believed to have caused power outages affecting hundreds of customers Tuesday.

focus on her career as an author.

Hoover is both a story of selfpublished success in the digital age and of the popularity of so-called “New Adult” books, stories featuring characters in their late teens and early 20s. Others in the genre include Jamie McGuire’s “Beautiful Disaster” and J. Lynn’s “Wait for You.” The novels, which often have explicit material, are seen by publishers as a bridge between young adult novels and romance novels.

“In a nutshell, they’re stories of characters in their formative year, when everything is new and fresh,” said Amy Pierpont, editorial director of the Hachette Book Group’s “Forever” imprint, where “New

Adult” best sellers include Jessica Sorensen and J.A. Redmerski.

When Hoover finished her third book, “Hopeless,” in December, she initially turned down an offer from Atria and decided to digitally self-publish again. By January, that book too was a New York Times best-seller and she signed that month with Atria to publish the print version, but kept control of the electronic version. The paperback is set to come out in May. In February, Atria bought the digital and paperback rights to two upcoming books from Hoover: “This Girl,” the third installment in the “Slammed” series, set for release digitally later this month,

and “Losing Hope,” a companion novel to “Hopeless” to be published digitally in July. Just last week, Hoover announced on her blog a new deal with Atria for two books to be released next year.

Johanna Castillo, vice president and senior editor at Atria, said she learned about Hoover while perusing book blogs. Checking out Hoover’s blog that details not only her burgeoning writing career but also her day-to-day life, Castillo became enchanted. Around the same time, Hoover’s agent, Jane Dystel, sent Hoover’s books to Castillo.

“I read them and I liked them and we moved forward very quickly,” said Castillo, who adds, “The

voice that she has to connect with readers is very special.”

In a June post Hoover poignantly writes about being able to move from a single-wide mobile home to “a REAL house. A house with doors that work and an air conditioner that cools and electricity that doesn’t shut off if you run two electronics at the same time.”

“Seven months ago, we were struggling to make ends meet,” she writes in the blog post. “Now, things are finally coming together and it’s all because of you guys. Every single person that spent a few bucks to buy a book that I wrote deserves a big THANK YOU from my whole family.”

Super voice gone: Summerall dead at 82 Tech baseball cancels DALLAS (AP) — Pat Summerall was the calm alongside John Madden’s storm.

Over four decades, Summerall’s deep, resonant voice described some of the biggest games in America.

Simple, spare, he delivered the details on 16 Super Bowls, the Masters and the U.S. Open tennis tournament with a simple, understated style that was the perfect complement for the “booms!” and “bangs!” of Madden, his partner for half of the NFL playerturned-broadcaster’s career.

Summerall died Tuesday at age 82 of cardiac arrest, said University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center spokesman Jeff Carlton, speaking on behalf of Summerall’s wife, Cheri.

“He was an extraordinary man and a wonderful father,” said Susie

Wiles, his daughter. “I know he will be greatly missed.”

His final play-by-play words beside Madden were succinct, of course, as he called the game-ending field goal of the Super Bowl for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, when New England beat St. Louis 20-17.

“It’s right down the pipe. Adam Vinatieri. No time on the clock.

And the Patriots have won Super Bowl XXXVI. Unbelievable,” Summerall said.

Sparse, exciting, perfect. A flawless summation without distracting from the reaction viewers could see on the screen.

At the end of their final broadcast together, Madden described Summerall as “a treasure” and the “spirit of the National Football League” in a tribute

to the partner that complemented the boisterous former Oakland Raiders coach so well.

“You are what the NFL is all about, what pro football is all about, and more important, what a man is all about and what a gentleman is all about,” Madden said.

As former teammate and broadcaster Frank Gifford put it in an accompanying video tribute: “America is very comfortable with Pat Summerall.”

Summerall played 10 NFL seasons (1952-61) with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants, but it was in his second career that he became a voice familiar to generations of sports fans, not only those of the NFL. “Pat was a friend of nearly 40 years,” CBS Sports broadcaster Verne

Lundquist said. “He was a master of restraint in his commentary, an example for all of us. He was also one of the great storytellers who ever spoke into a microphone.”

Summerall started doing NFL games for CBS in 1964, and became a play-by-play guy 10 years later. He was also part of CBS’s coverage of the PGA Tour, including the Masters from 1968-94, and U.S. Open tennis.

When CBS lost its NFL deal after the 1993 season, Summerall switched to Fox to keep calling NFL games with Madden. He had hoped to keep working with CBS for other events like the Masters, but network executives saw it otherwise. At the time, CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz said he was “very saddened” that Summerall didn’t get to leave CBS under his own terms.

latter game of Rice series

Texas Tech canceled its second game of a non conference series this week against Rice University.

The Red Raiders played at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Reckling Park in Houston, but will not play today against No. 22 nationally ranked Rice, like previously scheduled.

No additional games have been added to the Red Raiders regular season schedule as of now, according to a news release.

This is the second game canceled in the past two days. A game against New Mexico State

on May 8, Dead Day, was canceled earlier this week because of the athletes’ exam schedules.

Scott Lacefield, associate director of Tech Athletics communications, said the decision to cancel that game was made by the two teams’ coaches.

The reason for the cancelation of the second Rice game has not been made public.

Tech is last in the conference with a record of 17 wins and 19 losses.

“This action was necessary after it came to light that photos were taken of a high profile individual who had been arrested,” Mthethwa wrote in the reply to a question by South Africa’s opposition party, the Democratic Alliance.

The minister said four “official” cellphones and 45 private phones were taken from the officers on Feb. 20, six days after Pistorius’ arrest. They could be used as evidence in possible disciplinary proceedings against the police officers, Mthethwa said.

This action was necessary after it came to light that photos were taken of a high profile individual.

“

STELLENBOSCH, South Africa (AP) — Even police officers clamored to get photos of Oscar Pistorius on their cellphones after the famed Olympic athlete was arrested for the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, South Africa’s minister of police said in a written response to a question in parliament.

The former lead police investigator in the case also told The Associated Press that he had fears that reporters were trying to buy pictures of key pieces of evidence from officers in the first few days after the shooting, including the toilet door through which Pistorius fired the shots that killed Steenkamp inside the athlete’s home in the predawn hours of Valentine’s Day. The door was then taken from inside the bathroom in Pistorius’ house and put in “a body bag” and moved to a senior policeman’s office, former detective Hilton Botha said.

tographs of it to the media. The officer named by Botha couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

Botha did not name the media company or say how much money was offered, but said he was told that the offer was from an international media house and was “in dollars.” Botha said he had learned that South African reporters were also trying to buy photographs of evidence and the crime scene from police.

South Africa’s Star newspaper quoted Botha as telling it there was an offer of $50,000 for a photograph of the toilet door.

Two days after the shooting, the door was “sealed in a body bag” and moved to the office at Boschkop police station, Botha told The AP. It was later taken to a police evidence center by the investigating officer who replaced Botha, the former detective said.

No police officers have been implicated in any selling of pictures to reporters.

Despite the intense public interest in Pistorius, only one image of the double-amputee runner has emerged since he was freed on bail on Feb. 22. The photograph, also a cellphone photo but taken by a high school student, shows Pistorius wearing running gear and walking on his famous carbon fiber running blades when he visited his practice track at the University of Pretoria last month.

Pistorius won an appeal against some of his strict bail restrictions and has been more active recently while awaiting trial for Steenkamp’s killing. His family said last week that he had been spending time with people close to his late girlfriend.

Pistorius was charged with murder in Steenkamp’s shooting. He denies murder and says he shot her accidentally through a door inside his bathroom after mistaking her for a nighttime intruder. His next court appearance is June 4.
