Henry helped lead the A&M men’s team to a co-championship at the NCAA outdoor track and field title in Eugene, Ore., after a dropped baton in the 4x400 meter relay cost them an outright win. The Aggie women finished as NCAA runner-up to Kansas.

“You look at what we did today, across the board with men and women, with the events we won and how competitive we were I can’t be anything but pleased with our team today,” Henry said.

The win gives the A&M track and field program a seventh national championship in five years and is the 34th championship for Henry.

mid the pens, flash-drives and packs of gum on Michael Mehlman’s desk, rests a 3-D printer, the small machine with which he formed his entrepreneurial startup.

In February, the applied physics graduate student launched grain3d. com, a website where customers can browse and download designs to a flash drive and print them using a home 3-D printer.

Mehlman said he initially learned about 3-D printing technology by watching YouTube videos. He then spent last October to January considering the potential the appara-

tus had in a consumer market.

“I asked myself, ‘How do you make it available to the whole population?’” Mehlman said. “The technology has existed for a long time in industry, but not for consumers.

Mehlman envisions his website Michael Mehlman, applied physics graduate student, works from will parallel an app store for elec- his apartment where he uses his 3-D printer to create items such as tronic devices. toy planes and iPhone stands that he then sells to consumers.

WEST, Texas (AP) — Two months after a fertilizer plant exploded in West, volunteers are still sorting through stacks of boxes and bags of donated items.

The Waco Tribune-Herald reports that volunteers have asked the victims of the April 17 explosion to fill out a form that allows them to process donations. Residents can then pick up what they need or have it delivered.

It’s an effort to organize the thousands of items sent into West from across Texas and the United States in a way that benefits residents.

“People would literally go through, after we had it sorted, and would throw [clothing] on the ground because it wasn’t their size,” said John Simcik of the local Long Term Recovery Center.

“I think we’re beyond that.”

The most-needed donations are related to cleanup and construction, Simcik said. He said things like brooms, bleach and trash bags are “like gold.”

A lot of the goods are random items such as crutches, home decor knickknacks, backpacks and toys, the TribuneHerald reported. Besides needing to be sorted, some of the items that have arrived are dirty or too worn to be used.

“Some of it looks like someone cleaned out their grandma’s house and put it in a box,” said Heather Ivie, a vol-

unteer who has been helping for more than a week at the warehouse.

Officials hope to send what doesn’t get used in West to disaster victims elsewhere, such as those affected by the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Residents are still signing up for assistance and, in some cases, seeking federal aid for a long, arduous rebuilding effort. The blast at West Fertilizer killed 15 people, injured 200 and left

many homes leveled in the tiny town of fewer than 3,000 people. Many residents are staying in mobile homes, with relatives or in rental units in West and in surrounding communities.

While hundreds of volunteers streamed into West immediately after the blast, relief effort organizers say they want to make sure they keep the attention of donors, volunteers and the public.

Manning trial resumes, new leak scandal unfolds

BAT_06-11-13_A2.indd 1

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Army Pfc. Bradley Manning’s court-martial for giving hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents to WikiLeaks entered its second week Monday in a fresh spotlight cast by a brand-new leak by another low-level intelligence employee.

Like Manning, Edward Snowden could find himself hauled into court by the U.S. government after he unmasked himself Sunday as the leaker who exposed the nation’s secret phone and Internet surveillance programs to reporters.

Legal experts closely fol-

lowing both cases said they were shocked to find out young, low-ranking people had such access to powerful government secrets. Manning was 22 when he turned over the military and diplomatic cables about three years ago; Snowden is 29.

“In that respect, these cases suggest we should be much more careful about who is given security clearances,” said David J.R. Frakt, a former military prosecutor and defense lawyer who has taught at several law schools.

At the same time, legal experts saw differences between the two cases, namely

that Manning’s secret-spilling was more scattershot, while Snowden appeared selective.

“I’m not awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom here,” Eugene R. Fidell, who teaches military law at Yale Law School, said of Snowden.

“I’m just saying you could say it is something more akin to educating the American public about sensitive surveillance issues that have some level of First Amendment concern attached to them.”

As for how Snowden’s revelation will affect the Manning case, Fidell said it probably won’t influence the military judge, who is hearing the case without a jury, but “it ratchets up the entire subject in the public eye.” Fidell said it could spur outrage about government secrecy in general, but could also underscore the dangers of leaks — and that, he said, won’t help Manning.

“It’s a reminder that if what Manning did and what Snowden did is OK, then it’s basically every man for himself,” Fidell said, adding that national security would end up with “more holes than cheese.”

Manning is charged under federal espionage and computer fraud laws. The most serious charge against him is aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence.

Testimony was expected to continue Tuesday.

As the trial opened last week, prosecutors said they would show that some of the secrets fell into the hands of Osama bin Laden himself.

Manning’s attorney said he was young and naive, but a good-intentioned soldier who wanted to make the world a better place by exposing the

way the U.S. government was conducting itself.

Snowden said his motives were similar but told The Guardian newspaper of London: “I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest.”

Manning never publicly acknowledged his actions until more than two years after his arrest. He was seized only after an informant turned him in. Snowden is hiding out in Hong Kong, perhaps eventually hoping for asylum somewhere.

At Manning’s trial Monday, his defense team won an intense battle over the admissibility of a piece of evidence supporting his claim that he leaked secrets to expose wrongdoing by the U.S. military and State Department.

The evidence was WikiLeaks’ “Most Wanted Leaks of 2009.” Army criminal investigator Mark Mander testified he found several versions of the list, including one prefaced by an explanation that the records were sought by “journalists, activists, historians, lawyers, police or human-rights investigators.”

That’s the version the defense sought to admit; prosecutors offered a version without the preface. They objected strenuously to the defense’s version but the military judge, Col. Denise Lind, said both versions were equally relevant.

Inside the court-martial, Manning’s supporters mostly cheered the Snowden leak.

“We’re all complicit in the crimes that these wonderful, brave young people told us about,” said Kathy Boylan, a charity worker in Washington.

NCAA champion. You know you need to go out there and focus on what needs to be done to win. I don’t focus on the score or what’s on the board because anything can happen in any race. You just keep your head clear and do what you need to do.”

Other A&M victories included the women’s 4x100 relay, a men’s 110 hurdles by junior Wayne Davis II and a 200 win by senior Ameer Webb.

“This is our fourth title in the past five years and we’ve won it by one or two points each time,” Henry said. “It always seems to come down the end and you have to be perfect all the way through. We weren’t perfect today, but we had some per-

fect things happen to get us to here.”

The A&M men led in the standings for much of the afternoon. Their gaff in the 4x400 added excitement to the more than 11,000 fans in attendance, but Ricky Babineaux, who ran the second leg of the relay, said he tried his best to remain calm.

“I didn’t even think twice about it, I just went over to pick it up so we could still run,” Babineaux said. “It was nerve-racking and emotionally I still don’t how to feel. Ending in a tie for the championship is a blessing.”

It was also a big day for Webb, who added to his trophy case. In addition to the outdoor championship Saturday, Webb also has two NCAA indoor titles.

“I’m a two-time indoor and one-time outdoor track champion, so I’m on top of the world, in my own world, right now,” Webb said.

Senior sprinter Ameer Webb won his first outdoor, 200-meter title Saturday at the NCAA championships, adding to his two indoor titles in the same event.

“Obviously, LeBron is unbelievable,” Parker said after the 103-84 loss to the Heat that evened the best-ofseven series at one game apiece. “He’s going to score. But right now the other players, they are playing great, too.

So we can’t have both.”

The last time the Spurs were in the finals in 2007, they won their fourth title over the Cleveland Cavaliers by daring James to shoot the jumper in an all-out effort to keep him from attacking the rim. It worked beautifully when James shot an abysmal 35.6 percent in a four-game sweep.

The Spurs have essentially used the same approach this time around, with Leonard and Green sharing time on him and Duncan and Tiago Splitter crashing to double every time James even thinks about coming into the paint. And so far, that efficiency that he showed in the regular season hasn’t been there.

“I think LeBron is the type of player that you have to pay a lot of attention to,” Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said.

“And it’s not something that happens that often that he scores less than 20.

But I don’t think that was the difference why they beat us so badly in the second half.”

That’s the biggest problem for these Spurs. They have done what many viewed as impossible. They have stopped LeBron James from scoring.

And still, when the two teams boarded their respective planes to head for San Antonio, the defending champion Heat were the ones walking with a renewed swagger, with new life.

The Spurs haven’t hosted a finals game since 2007. They’re going to need the energy, the juice, the charge that should come from a passionate fan base eager to once again see the only show in town playing on the biggest stage.

Because they’ve thrown everything they’ve got at James in the first two games. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s worked pretty darn well. Yet there they were on Sunday night, staggering out of American Airlines Arena, their victory in Game 1 a distant memory.

Instead, the realization was creeping in that they’ve done as well as can possibly be expected against the league’s brightest star, and still they need to do so much more to stop James and the Heat from running away from them the way they have run away from everyone else for the last two years.

“It wasn’t just LeBron attacking us or getting those 13 points,” Ginobili said of James’ awakening during the game-deciding run. “It was just the whole Miami team was killing us. ...

So it’s not just that he turned it on. It was Miami that turned it on.”

Texas A&M and UTSA have agreed to a twoyear football series.

Both games will be played at Kyle Field, with the first on Nov. 12, 2016, and the second on Nov. 2, 2019.

The Roadrunners will officially join Conference USA in July and are preparing for their third season of playing football.

SPECIAL

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Somehow, some way, the San Antonio Spurs seem to have discovered a secret that every team in the league desperately searched for all season long. They have figured out a way to slow down LeBron James.

Whether it’s Kawhi Leonard’s incredible wingspan, Danny Green’s dogged determination or a stash of kryptonite that Tim Duncan happened upon while taking a walk along the banks of the San Antonio River, it’s working. And yet the Spurs return home for Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night perhaps feeling lucky to have earned a split in Miami.

James is averaging a pedestrian 17.5 points and has posted his two lowest point totals in the postseason during the finals. One would think that’s a recipe for a commanding 2-0 series lead.

But San Antonio needed an incredible shot from Tony Parker with 5.2 seconds to play in Game 1 to hold off a charging James, then got blown out in Game 2 on Sunday night even though the four-time MVP scored 17 points on 7-for-17 shooting.

Woman wounded in shooting at Fort Sam Houston SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A soldier who wounded a fellow service member in a shooting at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio on Monday surrendered and is in military custody, a base spokesman says.

The shooting took place at the Army Medical Department Center and School at about 2:50 p.m., the Army said in a statement. Base spokesman Brent Boller said

the gunman surrendered to San Antonio police and the female victim is in stable condition.

San Antonio police Chief William McManus told the San Antonio Express-News that the victim and shooter were involved in a relationship and that no other people were targeted in the attack.

The woman was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, which is also on

the post, Boller said.

Authorities locked down the base for about two hours while military police cleared the building where the shooting took place.

Fort Sam Houston is one of the oldest U.S. military bases still in operation and is located in central San Antonio. In addition to hosting one the nation’s top burn units, most army medics undergo training there.

He was fairly [far] along when he came to us. He skipped the early stages,� she said.

Since the advent of the 3-D printer, the printers have evolved to become much smaller and increasingly user-friendly. Mehlman is using this change to target the everyday consumer. 3-D printing has also been consid-

Mehlman said using 3-D printing to develop food could be cost efficient, because of the waste produced when manufacturing food products. “Wherever materials are scarce, 3-D printing will make a huge impact,� he

said.

Mehlman said the creation of firearms is a “real possibility� and a topic that will have to be addressed. “I can see the legal side playing out,� he said. “It will be interesting to see how the government and judicial system deals with this.�
