Former Tech president named finalist in NMSU presidency New Mexico State announced its five finalists for the university’s presidency, and former Texas Tech President Guy Bailey was on the list.

Bailey, who served as Tech’s president from August 2008 to August 2012, left the university to work as president of his alma mater, University of Alabama, according to a previous story in The Daily Toreador.

He was named president of Alabama on July 11, 2012, and resigned from the position Oct. 31, 2012, according to the story.

On-campus interviews with Bailey and the other presidential finalists will begin April 22, according to an NMSU news release, and both a public and student forum will be hosted for each of the candidates. ➤➤kmckee@dailytoreador.com

Spring storm delivers snow, winds; delays Midwest travel CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A large spring snowstorm delivering heavy snow, high winds and rain was causing travel problems from Wyoming to Chicago on Tuesday.

In Wyoming, some big stretches of Interstates 25 and 80 were closed Tuesday morning before being reopened, but snow and blowing snow conditions were still making driving dangerous along the interstates and smaller highways. No unnecessary travel was advised Tuesday afternoon on about 180 miles of I-25 between Cheyenne and Casper because heavy snow was causing near white-out conditions.

Meanwhile, freezing rain, snow and strong winds, were hitting Kansas and South Dakota, where numerous local elections were postponed. Some schools in Minnesota dismissed students early as travel conditions deteriorated.

Texas Legislature to see concealed carry bills

By MATT DOTRAY STAFF WRITER

The Texas Legislature has not shied away from gun-related bills during the 83rd session.

U.S. House Rep. Steve Stockman wrote an open letter April 5 in response to the recent gun legislation passed in several states, which invite manufacturers and persecuted gun owners to move to Texas.

“These states have proven they do not value those who obey the law and pump millions of dollars in local economies,” Stockman wrote in the letter.

“This is not the way for government to treat people. Come to Texas!! The state which believes the whole Bill of Rights should be followed, not just the ‘politically correct’ parts.”

One of the more recent bills in the Texas Legislature, Senate Bill 987, passed in the Senate on April 4.

If passed by the House, Senate Bill 987 would direct the attorney general to attain an injunction against any municipal that adopts regulations regulating the ownership, transfer, possession, transport, licensing, regulation of firearms, ammunition or firearm supplies.

Meaning, towns are prohibited from adopting gun regulation that violates the state’s pre-emptive laws.

Another bill, Senate Bill 299 written

by Sen. Craig Estes, protects a concealed handgun license owner from committing an offense if the person accidentally or inadvertently displays a firearm.

Both the House and Senate have introduced bills allowing concealed handgun licensees to carry weapons inside buildings and facilities located on public college or university campuses.

Sen. Brian Birdwell and Rep. Allen Fletcher wrote Senate Bill 182 and House Bill 972 respectively.

According to the legislature’s website, the bills have been sent to committees and are awaiting review.

“As a retired Houston police officer, I know that officers cannot be everywhere at all times,” Fletcher said in a news release. “Campus police cannot be in every classroom or academic building.

That is why I strongly support the right to properly licensed citizens to carry on college campuses.”

According to the National Rifle Association Legislation website, the Senate Criminal Justice Committee approved Senate Bill 864, a bill that would reduce the number of classroom hours to receive a concealed handgun license from 10-15 hours to six hours.

The bill was placed on the calendar and will move to the floor Wednesday.

Rep. Donna Campbell, the author of the bill, told the Dallas Morning News that instructors finish the classes with plenty of time left over.

“Nothing in the Second Amendment says we should have to take a class, or conceal our guns,” she said.

“Fifteen hours is too long, but with passage of this bill I will quickly be getting my CHL.” Many of the bills, Zachary Rubiola, a

MEMBERS OF THE zombie team run after a small group of humans during the second mission of the on-campus game of Humans vs. Zombies on Tuesday outside of the Student Union Building.

Human students fight off hordes of infectious zombies with Nerf guns as they try to make it to and from class without catching the disease.

Humans can be distinguished from zombies by the placement of their green bandanas. Humans’ bandanas are tied around their arms, while zombies wear the bandana on their foreheads.

While bystanders might wonder why it appears the zombie apocalypse has only affected a few people, those participating know it’s a game of Human vs. Zombies.

According to its website, Humans vs. Zombies is a game of tag played on college campuses where those playing as humans can choose to be equipped with unmodified Nerf guns or socks to defend themselves against the zombies.

Serving the Texas Tech University community since 1925

Former Supreme Court of Texas Justice Dale Wainwright spoke Tuesday at the School of Law to kick off the new leadership development academy for law students, which will begin this fall.

Wainwright spoke about the importance of being a leader in whatever career path students take and how the academy will assist them in building leadership skills.

“Everybody has to act like a leader and have the vision, courage and the ability to act in order to get things done and be successful,” he said.

Wainwright used examples of famous leaders such as former President Harry Truman who, he said, was relied upon to make tough decisions and talked to students about making their own decisions.

“They are the future generation of leaders,” Wainwright said. “The dean’s not going to be around forever. The governor and the president are not going to be around forever. I want to ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

inspire them to step up and see themselves in those roles, because they can do it.”

Charles Dickey, a political science major from Austin, said he attended Wainwright’s speech because he is interested in joining the academy to learn from the experience and build his resume.

“It’s for a bunch of students that would like to take their participation to the next level,” he said, “and it will help earn a special spot on my resume.”

Wainwright said the academy is a great way for law students to learn necessary leadership skills.

“Everything you do and have done prepares you for everything you’re going to do,” he said.

According to the Supreme Court of Texas website, Wainwright was elected as a justice Nov. 5, 2002, and re-elected in 2008. His term ends Dec. 31, 2014. ➤➤lpape@dailytoreador.com

major from Grand Prairie, said. “The most challenging part for a human is trying to get out of buildings and around campus when there are a lot of zombies. For a zombie, the hardest part is trying to catch a human.”

According to the website, Humans vs.

Zombies has been played at Texas Tech since Fall 2009 and more than 550 students have participated since then.

“I think it’s a great way for students to engage with each other and have fun,” Jenabeth Gunter, a freshman electronic media and communication major from Otton, said. “It’s something that our school offers that not all schools do.

It’s not for everyone, but it’s amusing to watch whether you’re playing or not. I have not been caught in the crossfire yet, but I’m sure it would be exciting. I have seen some students running to class with their Nerf guns and they always seem to be on edge.”

Student arrested in Texas college stabbing attack CYPRESS (AP) — A student went on a building-to-building stabbing attack at a Texas community college Tuesday, wounding at least 14 people — many in the face and neck — before being subdued and arrested, authorities and witnesses said.

The attack about 11:20 a.m. on the Lone Star Community College System’s campus in Cypress sent at least 12 people to hospitals, while several others refused treatment at the scene, according to Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department spokesman Robert Rasa. Two people remained in critical condition Tuesday evening at Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute, spokeswoman Alex Rodriguez said.

Diante Cotton, 20, said he was sitting in a cafeteria with some friends when a girl clutching her neck walked in, yelling, “He’s stabbing people! He’s stabbing people!”

Cotton said he could not see the girl’s injuries, but when he and his friends went outside, they saw a halfdozen people with injuries to their faces and necks being loaded into

ambulances and medical helicopters.

Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said it was not immediately clear what type of weapon was used, but there were indications when calls came in to the department that “students or faculty were actively responding to work to subdue this individual.”

“So we’re proud of those folks, but we’re glad no one else is injured any more severely than they are,” Garcia said.

Michelle Alvarez told the Houston Chronicle she saw the attacker running toward other students and tried to back away. She said she didn’t even feel it as he swiped at her.

“He came running and swinging at my neck, as I tried to get out of the way,” she said.

Student Michael Chalfan said he was walking to class when he saw a group of police officers also running after the suspect. He said one officer used a stun gun to help subdue the man.

Lone Star officials initially urged people on campus, about 25 miles

northwest of downtown Houston, to take shelter and be on alert for a second suspect. But the sheriff’s department said authorities believe just one person was responsible.

“It was the same suspect going from building to building,” department spokesman Thomas Gilliland said.

Garcia said buildings still were being searched hours later. Long lines of vehicles carrying students and staff streamed off campus as law enforcement directed traffic away from the school.

Teaundrae Perryman said he was in class when he received a text message from a friend and went outside to see a young woman being loaded into an ambulance with what appeared to be stab wounds to either her neck or head. He said he didn’t receive an email alert from the college until 11:56 a.m.

“I was concerned but I wasn’t afraid because I was with a large group of people,” the 21-year-old said, later adding, “The police got to the scene very quickly.”

Terrified residents said if a police patrol car hadn’t shown up, they all would have been dead.

Police said they knew of no motive yet in the carnage Tuesday that left six men, six women and a child dead in Velika Ivanca, a Serbian village 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Belgrade.

sieges of the Balkan wars, turned his gun on himself and his wife as authorities closed in. Both were in grave condition at a hospital in the Serbian capital.

In the small lush village surrounded by fruit trees, the suspect’s older brother Radmilo broke down in tears, unable to explain why the massacre had happened.

“Why did he do it? ... I still can’t believe it,” he said sobbing, covering his face with his hands. “He was a model of honesty.”

“As a child, he was a frightened little boy. I used to defend him from other children. He couldn’t even slaughter a chicken,” he said.

But he said his brother had changed after serving in the army during a brutal Serb-led offensive against the eastern Croatian town of Vukovar in 1992 — the worst bloodshed during Croatia’s 1991-95 war for independence.

10-year anniversary of Baghdad fall to US BAGHDAD (AP) — Ten years ago, a statue fell in Baghdad’s Firdous Square. Joyful Iraqis helped by an American tank retriever pulled down their longtime dictator, cast as 16 feet of bronze. The scene broadcast live worldwide became an icon of the war, a symbol of final victory over Saddam Hussein.

But for the residents of the capital, it was only the beginning.

The toppling of the statue remains a potent symbol that has divided Iraqis ever since: Liberation for Shiites and Kurds, a loss for some Sunnis and grief among almost everybody over the years of death, destruction and occupation that followed the fall of Baghdad to U.S. forces on April 9, 2003.

“Ten years ago, I dreamed of better life,” said Rassol Hassan, 80, who witnessed the fall of the statue from his nearby barber shop. “Nothing has changed since then for me and many Iraqis, it has even gotten worse.”

In an opinion piece in the Washington Post, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the overwhelming majority of Iraqis agree that they are better off today than under Saddam’s brutal dictatorship.

“Iraqis will remain grateful for the U.S. role and for the losses sustained by military and civilian personnel that contributed in ending Hussein’s rule,” he said.

“Iraq is not a protectorate of the United States; it is a sovereign partner,” al-Maliki said in response to the contention that Iraq has become more pro-Iran than pro-West. “Partners do not always agree, but they consider and respect each other’s views. In that spirit, we ask the United States to consider Iraq’s views on challenging issues, especially those of regional importance.”

In the past 10 years, Iraqis have seen the country’s power base shift from minority Arab Sunnis to majority Shiites, with Kurds gaining their own autonomous region.

“For Kurds there is no regret,” said Mahmoud Othman, a Kurdish legislator. “April 9 is a national liberation day for us.”

Ali al-Moussawi, a spokesman for Iraq’s Shiite-led government, said “April 9 is a day of contradictions: We ended the oppression of Saddam” but began the American occupation.

Still, he emphasized that Iraqis were looking forward.

“Our fight is . against terrorist groups that kill people and want to prevent them from tasting the freedom they had lost for 30 years (under Saddam).”

A Sunni lawmaker, Hamid alMutlaq, was unsparing in his assessment of what happened a decade ago.

“Baghdad, the city of history and civilization, fell into the hands of a brutal occupation that ignored all laws,” al-Mutlaq said. “They came as occupiers and killers unlike what they said before. They left us killing, sectarianism and displacement,” he added. “It is a black and ominous day in its history. It is a day of slavery.”

Baghdad has indelibly changed since the darkest days of the war.

Residents no longer flee their neighborhoods fearing sectarian violence. Bridges joining Sunni and Shiite areas have reopened. Hotels are being renovated as foreign investment trickles in.

But car bombs targeting police, Shiite mosques and government offices, mostly the hallmarks of al-Qaida militants, still ravage the city of some 7 million.

Ten years on, the city is draped in a spider’s web of generator cords wrapped over crumbling buildings and crisscrossing above unpaved streets, a sign of the graft-ridden government’s failure to restore power or rebuild basic infrastructure.

Shiite power is evident in posters pasted around the city — on security checkpoints, billboards, concrete walls. Most show the Shiite hero, the Imam Hussein, grandson of the prophet Mohammed with his bearded face draped in a green turban.

Other walls are painted with scenes of ancient Iraqi civilizations.

Some offer practical graffiti, such as the phone number of a tow-truck service.

Across the nation, most Democrats are focused on keeping guns out of the hands of people who should not be using them, he said.

“I don’t think anybody here is talking about taking away these guns or restricting anyone’s guns,” Rubiola said. “What we are talking about is making these guns and gun ownership safer and keeping guns out of the hands of people who should not have guns. So one of the things President Obama has been talking about is universal background checks.”

Obama’s budget, two months overdue but to be released Wednesday, mixes almost $600 billion in new taxes over the coming decade with modest curbs on spending, including lower-than-scheduled benefit increases for people receiving Social Security. The wealthy would lose the full benefit of some tax breaks while the poor and middle class would gradually slip into higher tax brackets.

Presidential budgets are often declared “dead on arrival” and this one may be just the latest to get that label. But it differs from last February’s campaign-year missive by proposing a new, governmentwide inflation adjustment — affecting Social Security, veterans’ pensions and the indexing of tax brackets — that has long been offered to Republicans in hopes of winning concessions on new tax revenues.

Universal background checks have had a lot of support from both parties, he said.

People from Texas are seeing a lot of gun-related legislation from their capitol because of the work the federal government has been doing, Rubiola said.

“I think what you see is Republicans in the Texas Legislature as a response to this rhetoric coming from the federal side of the government,” he said.

Healthy communication essential for pessimists I

t’s something everyone is accustomed to hearing.

If you walk into Holden Hall between classes, don’t be surprised if you hear a conversation similar to this one.

“You know what the worst thing is?” said one girl angrily.

“Not getting rubrics for any of our assignments. Like, seriously, am I supposed to read the professor’s mind or something?”

“Right? That’s so obnoxious,” her friend agreed. “No, and that doesn’t even cover half of it.” The original girl launched into what sounded like a well-rehearsed tirade of everything she hated about this class and professor.

The friend mechanically agreed with everything the original girl said. A boy sitting with them spoke up. “No, do you really want to know what the worst thing is?” “What?” the others chorused.

“MyMathLab.” There were

Megan Hansen sympathetic groans from all. “MyMathLab is the worst thing ever.”

“It crashes all the time.”

“Half the practice problems are wrong,” were some of the comments made.

From there, it quickly spiraled out of control. This group’s discussion had become a competition. Who could one-up everyone else? Who had the most things in their life to bellyache about? Who was in possession of the elusive worst thing?

I was sorely tempted to walk over and say, “You know what I think is the worst thing? The fact that you all have done nothing

for the past 10 minutes but complain.” But, then I remembered that earlier in the day, I had my own little pity party about some summer classes.

Whoops. I’m guilty of complaining, too. It’s something we all do.

When we communicate something to a fellow human being, we do it with hopes of finding an empathetic listener who will receive our message. Some are looking for sympathy while others are looking for a solution. Some even look for a combination of the two.

Humans have a deep desire to be accepted and cared for.

No matter a person’s outlook on life, some small part of them still craves companionship and communication. Troubles, worries and cares plague us all, and to some degree, everyone needs to talk about said troubles, worries and cares.

This may manifest itself in a brief statement about an unpleasant co-worker or a thirty-minute spiel about a recent bad grade.

We absolutely have a right to be affected by the things in our lives. We have a right to feel frustrated with events or people.

That’s human nature — we feel.

So what do we do with those feelings? We talk about them.

Communication, when done properly, is a very good thing.

Communication done incorrectly however, is another story. A 2003 study from Penn State cites “a breakdown in communication” as one of the leading causes of divorce today.

The breakdown in communication doesn’t necessarily involve giving the silent treatment to a spouse. Plenty of talking occurred between the two parties, there just was no listening on either side.

When someone begins to in-

cessantly gripe about something, there is a one-way flow of communication. One person will give an earful of negative comments and complaints while another listens, oftentimes unable to escape the conversation.

There is a vast difference between discussing something, causing grief and spending minutes upon minutes — that quickly turns into hours, negatively droning on about the same exact thing. Every now and then it is perfectly acceptable to have a gabfest. Sometimes we need to get stuff off our chest and it feels so much better when you can do that and move on.

If one consistently has nothing to contribute to a conversation besides some complaints, which have already been said a thousand times, maybe it’s time for a little active listening. Who knows, one might learn something new, or even make someone’s day.

If we want to be truly understood, talking more about ourselves isn’t the most effective solution. We need to focus our energy on talking with people more than we talk at people. We need to complain less and actively converse with others more.

Complaining itself isn’t a negative thing. If we do nothing but complain however, it can be very irritating and grating for others. Feel free to discuss what’s going on in your life.

Be aware of how you’re communicating. Are you pessimistically talking yourself in circles, or are you communicating your disappointment, anger or irritation in a way that isn’t making people want to scream, “You are an unhappy person. We get it!”

Dartmouth must choose between athletics, academics The first of April is the time of year when the admissions office makes its final decisions on the incoming class, as well as the time when Dartmouth’s athletic teams can, for the most part, finalize their rosters for the upcoming season.

It is no secret that admissions and the athletic department have a rather strong relationship at Dartmouth and in the rest of the Ivy League.

Each year, athletics is given a number of spots in the incoming class or, in other words, a set number of prospective students that coaches can officially endorse during the admissions process.

If a prospective student-athlete has achieved at least some level of success in the classroom by the Ivy League’s Academic Index’s standards, then that athlete will likely be admitted to the College.

While the index supposedly “insure[s] close academic

compatibility among admitted athletes and non-athletes in each freshman class,” it would seem likely that the average test scores of the athletically recruited incoming class, as a whole, are lower than the incoming class of students that had no athletic support in the admissions process.

This begs some obvious questions: has athletic recruiting hurt the academic environment of Dartmouth and her sister schools in the Ivy League by recruiting less academically qualified students? Do test scores really mean everything? And would a Dartmouth without athletics and student-athletes be a “better” Dartmouth from a strictly academic point of view?

I would argue no.

Dartmouth is not MIT and its students should not have to choose between being mathletes or athletes.

Our athletic program continues to foster unity within the community, increase the diversity of an incoming class and teach life skills that cannot

be picked up through classroom instruction.

Dartmouth prides itself on having one of the most active student bodies in all of the Ivy League. Three-quarters of students are involved in athletics, through varsity, club or intramural sports.

Membership in the Dartmouth Outing Club or Ledyard Canoe Club runs high, while more than 95 percent of incoming students take part in the rather physically active orientation of DOC First-Year Trips.

The athletic culture at Dartmouth promotes community bonding — just as students find camaraderie in playing catch with a frisbee on the Green, they too find class bonding in events like the Homecoming football game, the central focus of an entire weekend and the annual hockey game against Princeton.

It is also important to realize that Dartmouth athletic teams do not just recruit athletes.

The varsity athletic community is one of the most diverse subsets of the College. It supports students of all races, colors, religions and national origins.

Athletic recruiting has afforded Dartmouth the ability to put together classes with a kaleidoscope of perspectives.

While a recruited studentathlete’s test scores might not be as high as those from a nonathlete, his perspective is just as unique.

Why is it that one of the

most frequent responses to the Common Application’s personal statement involves athletics in some way, even for students who do not choose to continue varsity athletics at the college level? With athletics come a number of life skills that cannot be gleaned through textbook reading, namely those of diligence, commitment and leadership.

Some of the most successful students at Dartmouth have been varsity athletes, simply because they were able to survive the rigors of college coupled with the serious time commitment of athletics by learning how to prioritize and manage

Instead of seeing the nature of the athletic recruiting system as a detriment to the academic environment of the College, one should realize how much varsity athletics have helped create a community at Dartmouth.

Whether by offering spaces for class camaraderie, opening doors for diversification of the student population or promoting persistence and commitment even in the face of failure, Dartmouth athletics has made a priceless contribution that cannot be overlooked.

Morocco actor amused by Satan-Obama comparisons CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — Mehdi Ouazzani isn’t the devil, but he has played one on TV — only he didn’t realize that some thought he looked like President Barack Obama while he was at it.

A veteran Moroccan actor with decades of film experience, Ouazzani was bemused to wake up one morning and find that his role in The History Channel’s popular five-part miniseries “The Bible” had become the latest way for conservative commentators in the United States to needle the president.

“One morning somebody called me and said ‘you have to look at your email’ and I was so surprised,” Ouazzani told The Associated Press in Casablanca before jetting off to the remote desert town of Erfoud, where he’s playing a police inspector in a German crime drama.

“For someone like me, a simple unknown actor, to find himself in a controversy like this — even though it’s nonsense — it makes me known around the world, so it’s something positive,” he said with a chuckle.

With gray hair pulled back in a ponytail, an expressive face and a slim Errol Flynn-style pencil mustache, Ouazzani doesn’t look a great deal like America’s 44th president — but then he doesn’t resemble a stereotypical Satan very much either.

It was only after an hour and a half of makeup and a heavy hooded robe in Morocco’s blazing desert that Ouazzani became the figure on a mountain top tempting Jesus.

It’s this new look that laid the

stage for the Obama comparisons.

After the episode aired in midMarch, conservative firebrand commentator Glenn Beck tweeted to millions of his followers : “Does Satan look EXACTLY like Obama?

Yes!” The cry was taken up by others and provoked a fierce response from Obama’s supporters that compelled the History Channel to announce it had “the highest respect” for Obama, and “it’s unfortunate that anyone made this false connection.”

Part of the resonance of the controversy was the sheer success of the miniseries, which had 13 million viewers for its first episode — beating out even “American Idol.” The final episode, featuring the passion of Christ, aired on Easter, March 31, and had 11.7 million viewers — competing handily with the season finale of cable favorite “The Walking Dead.”

Conservative television personalities Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity were still talking about it weeks later on their shows, with Hannity telling “The Bible” executive producer Roma Downey that he, too, thought the program’s Satan resembled Obama.

In a statement, Downey maintained that she and fellow producer and husband Mark Burnett “have nothing but respect and love our president, who is a fellow Christian,” adding that “false statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of the Bible.”

It’s not Ouazzani’s first tour

through the pages of Christianity’s holy book. He appeared in the 2006 mini-series “Ten Commandments” and the 2000 production “In The Beginning,” as well as a string of other biblical productions in the 1990s.

Previous film productions have taken advantage of this North African country’s stark deserts and lush palm groves to recreate ancient Palestine. “I’ve seen several different Jesuses and Judases and I’ve played Satanic characters before, I played Judas.”

Still, Ouazzani found playing Satan this time quite a challenge, as he tried to convey intensity with little more than his eyes, delivering the devil’s grim temptations to Jesus in sepulchral tones.

“I have a very expressive face, when African or Moroccan people talk, we talk with our faces,” he said, describing his scenes as the prince of darkness playing opposite Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado’s Jesus.

“Satan taught me how to manage my close-ups, because Satan didn’t feel anything, didn’t suffer anything.”

Ouazzani’s face lights up as he talks about the filming, displaying little real-life resemblance to his gloomy character in the movie.

Ouazzani praised the producers and the professionalism on the set, which dealt with its own set of challenges, including Morocco’s ample desert serpent population.

“Before you go to the set, there was a special person who knows about serpents and scorpions and they go through and clean every-

thing,” said Ouazzani, describing how one of the snake wranglers even caught one in the middle of production.

“He came into the middle of the set, he looked around and then went running and took up a snake from under the sand with his hand,” he said.

Ouzzani said working on a series like “The Bible” has been particularly enjoyable because it gives him a taste of the Hollywood system — something many Moroccan actors yearn to do.

“Hollywood is the only cinema where I really feel like an actor,” he said, “the rest feels do-it-yourself.”

While dozens of American productions have been shot in Morocco, including “Gladiator,” ‘’Kingdom of Heaven,” ‘’Blackhawk Down,” ‘’The Bourne Ultimatum” and most recently the TV series “Game of Thrones,” they feature comparatively few Moroccan actors.

Ouazzani ascribes being cast to luck and knowing the right people — but speaking French, Spanish, Italian, English and Arabic hasn’t hurt. He credits his time as a flight attendant for the national airline, Royal Air Maroc, with putting him in daily touch with people from all over the world.

He started acting in his 20s and has appeared on the Spanish stage, played a police inspector in French movies, and will play a terrorist leader in an upcoming Spanish film about the 2011 bombing of a tourist cafe in Marrakech.

Cookie Monster, Elmo get in Times Square trouble HvZ↵

NEW YORK (AP) — Cookie Monster stands accused of shoving a 2-year-old. Super Mario was charged with groping a woman.

And Elmo was booked for berating tourists with anti-Semitic slurs.

Times Square is crawling with entrepreneurs who dress up as pop-culture characters and try to make a few bucks posing for photos with visitors to the big city. But some of these characters are unlike anything you’ve seen on “Sesame Street” or at Disney World.

They smoke, they use foul language, and they can be aggressive.

At least three of them have been arrested in the past seven months.

“He was using words that were really bad,” said Parmita Kurada of Stamford, Conn., who told police she got into a dispute this week with a man in a Cookie Monster costume who demanded $2 for posing with her 2-year-old son, Samay.

Kurada said that when she told the Cookie Monster that her

husband needed to get cash, the shaggy blue creature pushed the boy and began calling her and the child obscene names.

“It was very scary for us, and I was crying. I didn’t want to provoke him, so I said, ‘We’ll give you the money, but stop yelling!’” she said.

Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, 33, was charged with assault, child endangerment and aggressive begging.

His lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment.

“It meant the world to me,” Ware said. “I don’t really have any other words to describe how I feel right now.”

Pitino knows how it feels to win a championship, having guided Kentucky to a crown in 1996.

Now, working right down the road from Lexington, he became the first coach to win titles at different schools.

“This team is one of the most together, toughest and hard-nosed teams,” he said. “Being down never bothers us. They just come back.”

It was quite a capper to perhaps the best week of Pitino’s life.

Earlier Monday, he was introduced as a member of the latest Hall of Fame class. On Saturday, his horse won the Santa Anita Derby to set up a run for the roses

in the Kentucky Derby. And last ton Siva added, “was to get coach week his son got the coaching job a tattoo.”

“

This team is one of the most together, toughest and hardnosed teams. Being down never bothers us.

“

ATLANTA (AP) — Rick Pitino held court in a tunnel beneath the Georgia Dome, going on and on about the grittiest bunch of guys he’s ever coached.

One of them sat in the corner of the locker room, a net around his neck, grinning away.

The Louisville Cardinals vowed to finish the job for Kevin Ware.

Boy, did they ever.

With their injured teammate cheering them on from the bench, Louisville capped its run through the NCAA tournament, coming back again from a 12-point deficit to beat Michigan 82-76 in the championship game Monday night.

“These are my brothers,” said Ware, still getting around on crutches after a horrific injury in the regional final. “They got the job done. I’m so proud of them, so proud of them.”

Ware is just getting started on what could be a yearlong recovery from a broken right leg, but he’s

the Cardinals (35-5) lived up to their billing as the top overall seed in the men’s tournament.

They sure had to work for it, though.

Louisville trailed Wichita State by a dozen in the second half before rallying for a 72-68 victory. This time, they fell behind by 12 in the first half, then unleashed a stunning spurt led by Hancock that wiped out the entire deficit before the break.

“I had the 13 toughest guys I’ve ever coached,” Pitino said. “I’m just amazed they could accomplish everything we put out there.”

No one was tougher than Hancock, who matched his season high after a 20-point effort in the semifinal victory over Wichita State.

This time, he came off the bench to hit four straight 3-pointers in the first half after Michigan got a boost from an even more unlikely player.

Freshman Spike Albrecht made four straight from beyond the arc, too, blowing by his career high

before halftime with 17 points.

Coming in, Albrecht was averaging 1.8 points a game and had not scored more than seven all season.

Albrecht didn’t do much in the second half, but Hancock finished what he started for Louisville. He made it 5-for-5 from long range when he hit his final 3 from the corner with 3:27 remaining to give the Cardinals their biggest lead, 76-66. Michigan wouldn’t go away, but Hancock wrapped it up by making two free throws with 29 seconds left.

While Pitino shrugged off any attempt to make this about him, there was no doubt the Cardinals wanted to win a title for Ware.

Watching again from his seat at the end of the Louisville bench, his battered right leg propped up on a chair, Ware smiled and slapped hands with his teammates as they celebrated in the closing seconds, the victory coming just 30 miles from where he played his high school ball.

Rutgers officials to look deeper at problems with Mike Rice NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers University is pledging to get to the bottom of how a basketball coach who kicked and shoved players and used gay slurs as he yelled at them was allowed to stay on the job — and to make sure the same thing isn’t happening in other sports.

The university said Monday that the school’s Board of Governors would meet Thursday to discuss hiring an adviser to report on what went wrong with Mike Rice.

University President Robert Barchi said that employees are going through video of practice sessions from other sports to see if any other troubling

behavior needs to be rooted out.

The scandal has had far-reaching implications on the university’s athletic department.

Rice was fired on April 3, a day after a video of him at practice was made public. Athletic Director Tim Pernetti later resigned, as did an assistant basketball coach and the university’s top in-house lawyer.

On Monday, the university chose former dean Carl Kirschner to serve as acting athletic director while a search is conducted for someone to fill the job permanently.

There’s been widespread anger over the video, which was presented

to university officials in November by a former basketball program employee who last week sued the university, claiming he was let go because he was a whistle-blower. A person with knowledge of the situation by who requested anonymity because the investigation has not been made public, has told The Associated Press that the FBI is looking into whether the ex-employee, Eric Murdock, unlawfully asked for money in exchange for not making the video public.

Gov. Chris Christie said at a news conference Monday that Rice needed to be fired promptly and that his antics cost him credibility with athletes and

their families.

“What parent would let this animal back into their living room to try to recruit their son after this video?” he asked.

Christie also said that he wants to know why Rice was not fired even before the university knew about the video of his behavior at practice.

That’s a question that the investigation being commissioned by the university could look at.

Questions of who knew what about Rice’s behavior and when, and what they did about it, are likely to loom large as the investigations continue.

On Monday, Christie said anyone

who knew about the behavior previously and did not act to oust Rice was in the wrong. He criticized the reaction of those who knew about it and did not fire the coach months ago, when the video was given to university officials and viewed by — at least — Pernetti, university interim counsel John Wolf and Chairman Mark Hershhorn of the university Board of Governors’ athletics committee.

In a statement released by his lawyer late Monday, Hershhorn said he did call for Rice’s firing on the day in early December that he watched the video. He said he told Pernetti that if the video was authenticated, Rice

needed to be immediately terminated.

Contrary to his recommendation, Hershhorn said, the university chose to discipline Rice instead of let him go.

The Rutgers administration would not comment on Hershhorn’s account of events.

Meanwhile, a group of five Democratic members of the state Assembly made a half-dozen requests for information from Rutgers Monday under the state’s Open Public Records Act. The lawmakers, who plan to hold hearings on the situation, asked for communications about Rice’s hiring in 2010, his firing this month and several issues in between.

Mariners shut out Astros in home opener SEATTLE (AP) — Considering the hype and attention that comes with a home opener, Seattle manager Eric Wedge wanted a veteran to take the mound for the Mariners.

Joe Saunders’ career mark at Safeco Field certainly made him feel better, too.

Kendrys Morales drove in two runs in his Seattle home debut, Saunders rebounded from a rough first start to throw 6 1-3 shutout innings, and the Mariners debuted the new look of Safeco Field with a 3-0 win over the Houston Astros on Monday.

“Your home opener is always a big one and nice to see him go out there and set the tone and pitch and I’ve

been really encouraged by his strength the first couple of outings,” Wedge said. “His secondary stuff was obviously better tonight. Just did a great job.”

Monday night brought an opportunity for the first look at Seattle’s redesigned field dimensions and its new giant video screen.

After being one of the most unfriendly hitters’ parks, the Mariners made changes to the outfield in an effort to make the park fair to both hitters and pitchers.

The fences were brought in between 4 and 17 feet depending on the area of the outfield, and how the park would play was the subject of plenty of pregame questions.

It’s still a question after the new dimensions were barely threatened by either team.

Saunders (1-1) was a big reason why.

He allowed six hits and struck out five. Saunders improved to 7-0 all time at Safeco Field and dropped his ERA at the ballpark to 1.91 in 10 career starts.

It was an important and impressive rebound following a spring where he struggled and a first start in Oakland when Saunders had trouble gripping pitches and lasted just four innings.

“I thought my command was better. I was able to feel the ball a little bit better,” Saunders said. “It was just

a matter of telling yourself, ‘hey, we’ve got a lot of fans in the stands tonight, go out and put on a decent show and treat them to a win.’”

It helped that Saunders was facing the Astros, who struck out 74 times in the first six games. Houston struck out eight times on Monday night, and only once got a runner to third base.

Brandon Barnes reached third following Ronny Cedeno’s two-out single in the fifth, but Saunders got Jose Altuve to ground into a force out to end the inning.

Saunders got help earlier in the game when Franklin Gutierrez made a diving catch in right-center field to rob Cedeno of at least a double leading

off the third inning.

“As soon as he hit the ball I just went to go get it and the only chance that I have was to dive,” Gutierrez said.

Carter Capps took over for Saunders and recorded four outs, using an improving slider to go with his fastball.

Charlie Furbush got the final out of the eighth and Tom Wilhelmsen pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

The offense came from Morales, who has multiple hits in three of the past four games. Morales snapped Seattle’s 0-for-14 drought with runners in scoring position by chopping an RBI single in the first and added a twoout RBI double in the third, both off Houston starter Philip Humber (0-2).

Pence’s homer leads Giants past Rockies SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hunter Pence hit a three-run homer in the first inning that held up, Buster Posey added a late RBI single and the San Francisco Giants snapped the Colorado Rockies’ five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Monday night.

Madison Bumgarner (2-0) won his sixth in a row against the Rockies and owns a seven-start unbeaten run in the rivalry. The left-hander began his career 0-3 against Colorado in five starts.

He struck out five and walked five in 5 2-3 innings Monday, allowing two runs and five hits.

One of those was Carlos Gonzalez’s long homer to right in the third. The ball bounced off the pathway and splashed

into McCovey Cove.

San Francisco extended its winning streak against the Rockies to seven games and bounced back from a 14-3 loss to St. Louis a day earlier when ace Matt Cain was tagged for nine runs in the fourth inning.

Michael Cuddyer had two hits and stole his first base for a Rockies team that had won five in a row since losing its opener 5-4 in 10 innings at Milwaukee.

Dexter Fowler had his six-game hitting streak to start the season snapped as he went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.

Pence sent the first pitch he saw from Jorge De La Rosa (0-1) deep into the bleachers in left-center for one of the hardest, longest balls he has hit at home

since joining the Giants last July. Pablo Sandoval singled twice and scored a run.

The reigning World Series champions returned to a more normal routine after three straight days of celebrations — the flag raising Friday for the home opener, Posey’s NL MVP presentation Saturday and then Sunday’s ring ceremony.

Bumgarner pitched a 1-2-3 first, then issued at least one walk in each of the next four innings. After Cuddyer drew a leadoff walk in the fourth, Bumgarner was helped by a double play to get out of it unscathed.

He walked Yorvit Torrealba to start the fifth, then Eric Young Jr. one out later before Bumgarner escaped another jam.

He is off to a solid start after struggling last postseason. The lefty, who spent the

Michael Saunders scored each time.

Through an interpreter, Morales said he’s trying to find an early groove after struggling in the season-opening series at Oakland.

“He’s a very professional hitter, a smart hitter,” Wedge said.

Humber was trying to match the perfect game he threw against the Mariners last season while with the Chicago White Sox. Any thought of equaling that feat was gone after just one batter when Saunders led off with an opposite-field single. He then stole second on the next pitch and scored when Morales chopped his single over the glove of Cedeno to give Seattle an early lead.

winter working on his mechanics, is trying to build on a 2012 season in which he won a career-best 16 games and had a 2.33 ERA in 14 home outings.

Cuddyer hit a one-out single in the sixth and Chris Nelson had an RBI single two batters later. Giants manager Bruce Bochy called for Santiago Casilla as Bumgarner walked off to a standing ovation.

Casilla went 1 1-3 perfect innings, Jeremy Affeldt pitched a clean eighth and Sergio Romo allowed Josh Rutledge’s leadoff double before striking out the side for his fourth save as the Giants retired 10 of the final 11 Rockies batters.

Posey’s two-out single in the eighth provided some insurance.

Ump admits ending mistake, Rangers beat Rays 5-4 despite Foster’s postgame admission late Monday night.

“That kind of call cannot occur.

I don’t even want to say under those circumstances,” Maddon said. “The last inning, the last out of the game.

I’m not even going to go there. That call can’t be made in a Major League Baseball game.”

The last pitch, a curveball, was low and outside. Zobrist put both hands on his helmet and took it off in disbelief while Maddon quickly came out and argued with the umpires for several minutes, even standing in

ARLINGTON (AP) — Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon knew it was ball four to Ben Zobrist, who was already headed toward first base. Even Texas Rangers closer Joe Nathan expected that would be the call after his full-count pitch.

Except plate umpire Marty Foster called a game-ending third strike — one he later admitted was wrong.

Nathan mouthed “Wow!” when the strike was called to wrap up his 300th career save, which along with the Rangers’ 5-4 victory stood

front of them at the gate where they exit the field.

“I saw the pitch and of course don’t have the chance to do it again,” Foster told a pool reporter after the game.

“But had I had a chance to do it again, I wouldn’t call that pitch a strike.”

A.J. Pierzynski, the new Rangers catcher who was once traded for Nathan, said he heard Foster call strike, and went out to congratulate his teammate on becoming the 24th major leaguer with 300 saves.

“Did I draw it up like this for my 300th (save)? No. But we’ll take it,”

Nathan said. “I knew I was throwing it there. The fact is I thought it was ball four. I thought he might offer at it. When he didn’t, my mindset went more to concentrate on what we’ve got to do with (Evan) Longoria now. I think I might have been the last guy on the field to realize the game was over.”

Nathan’s milestone save was his second this year, and 39th in two seasons with the Rangers. He had 260 saves for the Twins and one for San Francisco before being traded by the Giants to Minnesota after the 2003 season for Pierzynski.
