Serving the Texas Tech University community since 1925

Tech landscape architecture program ranks 11th in nation Texas Tech’s landscape architecture undergraduate program was ranked 11th on DesignIntelligence’s list of best landscape architecture schools.

According to the website, DesignIntelligence assesses program rankings, as well as trends in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design and industrial design.

The rankings are based on the quality of students the undergraduate programs produce.

Tech was one of two schools in Texas to receive a ranking on the list.

Different than other universities, Alon Kvashny, chairman of the Department of Landscape Architecture, said in a news release, Tech’s program also focuses on semi-arid landscape and is involved internationally, which includes having students study in Brazil, Italy and Mexico.

Tech ranks top for first-generation students

By CAROLYN HECK STAFF WRTIER

Texas Tech is one of the best universities in the nation for outreach to first-generation college students.

The ranking, which was conducted

by The Best Colleges website, listed Tech among five other universities — Cornell University, Trinity University, Yale University, Colorado State University and California State University San Marcos.

Ashley Gonzales, the executive director for Tech’s Pioneers in Education: Generations Achieving Scholarship and Unprecedented Success program, or PEGASUS, said college students without prior higher education in their family history face a unique problem.

“I think it’s just the uncertainty, the unknown,” she said. “Since they don’t have a background in higher education, the whole

environment of coming to a university is just overwhelming for them socially and then financially.”

PEGASUS is an academic support and retention program for first-generation college students, or FGCs, who are the first in their family to either attend or complete a four-year institution, Gonzales said.

It is one of many programs Tech offers to assist FGCs with their college experience, said Juan Munoz, the senior vice president for Institutional Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement and vice provost for Undergraduate Education.

Another example of an FGC aid resource is MentorTech.

Programs such as these are made primarily to help students find and use campus resources, such as the tutoring and writing centers, Student Disability Services and the TECHniques Center, he said.

“Without a substantive personal and

familial history in higher education,” Munoz said, “these students likely have, because they’ve been admitted, the academic wherewithal to be here, but like any student, require the occasional academic support.

They just need to be directed as to where that support exists.”

One important aspect of PEGASUS is its mentoring system, Gonzales said, in which upperclassmen in the program will work with a first-year FGC student and help them adjust to college life, doing such things as saving money, choosing professors and classes and studying for finals.

When a program understands the different facets and challenges not only an FGC, but also a traditional student may have, Munoz said, it becomes easier to provide a more accessible and useful service. One big challenge of recruiting FGCs is retaining them past their first year.

“When you understand the relationship

between their personal circumstances,” he said, “the academic demands, the things external to students and a sensitivity to all of that, you provide a very unique understanding of what’s necessary for those students to not just assimilate and acclimate, but to succeed to graduation.”

However, the most challenging goal is not retention, Gonzales said, but graduation.

“The goal is you admit them,” Munoz said, “you retain them and you graduate them. And we are doing it better than most.”

Stormi Smith, an FGC and a junior art history and exercise and sport sciences major from Big Spring, said she was inspired to go to Tech after her father was unable to continue college because of financial reasons and was forced to give up his goal of coaching high school students.

High court weighs dispute concerning AIDS funding WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court wrestled Monday with the First Amendment implications of a policy that forces private health organizations to denounce prostitution as a condition to get AIDS funding.

The court appeared divided, and not along ideological lines, in an argument over whether the anti-prostitution pledge violates the health groups’ constitutional rights.

Four organizations that work in Africa, Asia and South America are challenging the 2003 law. They say their work has nothing to do with prostitution.

The Obama administration says it is reasonable for the government to give money only to groups that oppose prostitution and sex trafficking because they contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS. A federal appeals court In New York struck down the pledge as an unacceptable intrusion on the groups’ right to speak freely.

Another appeals court, in Washington, upheld the provision against a similar challenge.

Officials: Bomb suspects appear driven by faith BOSTON (AP) — The two brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon appear to have been motivated by their religious faith but do not seem connected to any Muslim terrorist groups, U.S. officials said Monday after interrogating the severely wounded younger man. He was charged with federal crimes that could bring the death penalty.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was charged in his hospital room with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill. He was accused of joining with his older brother, Tamerlan — now dead — in setting off the pressurecooker bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 200 a week ago.

The brothers, ethnic Chechens from Russia who had been living in the U.S. for about a decade, practiced Islam.

Two U.S. officials said preliminary evidence from an interrogation suggests the brothers were motivated by religion but were apparently not tied to any Islamic terrorist organizations. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.

The criminal complaint containing the charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shed no light on the motive.

But it gave a detailed sequence of events and cited surveillance-camera images of him dropping off a knapsack with one of the bombs and using a cellphone, perhaps to coordinate or detonate the blasts.

The Massachusetts college student was listed in serious but stable condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries. His 26-year-old brother died last week in a fierce gunbattle with police.

“Although our investigation is ongoing, today’s charges bring a successful end to a tragic week for the city of Boston and for our country,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement.

The charges carry the death penalty or a prison sentence of up to life.

“He has what’s coming to him,” a wounded Kaitlynn Cates said from her hospital room. She was at the finish line when the first blast knocked her off her feet, and she suffered an injury to her lower leg.

In outlining the evidence against him in court papers, the FBI said Tsarnaev was seen on surveillance cameras putting a knapsack down on the ground near the site of the second blast and then manipulating a cellphone and lifting it to his ear.

Seconds later, the first explosion went off about a block down the street and spread fear and confusion through the crowd. But Tsarnaev — unlike nearly everyone around him — looked calm and quickly walked away, the FBI said.

US to press China over repatriation of NKoreans WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will press China over its forcible repatriation of refugees to North Korea, a U.S. human rights envoy said Monday. He likened the North’s vast gulag to that operated by the Soviet Union in the 1930s.

Robert King is among U.S. officials meeting in Washington this week with China’s envoy on Korean affairs, Wu Dawei. The Obama administration is looking for Beijing to use its leverage over its North Korean ally to tamp down its provocative behavior and move toward abandoning nuclear weapons.

The prime focus of Washington’s policy is on tackling the emerging threat to the U.S. and its allies posed by North Korea’s missile and nuclear programs. But King said human rights were also important for U.S. policy.

He described conditions in

North Korea as deplorable, and took particular aim at the prison camp system which he said is estimated to hold between 130,000 and 200,000 people. He said it was “outrageous” that many detainees — more than half according to some reports — are imprisoned because of family ties rather than for committing a crime.

“This is something that the last time it was done in the Soviet Union was in the 1930s. The Soviet Union in the 1970s was enlightened in comparison to North Korea,” he told reporters.

King is U.S. envoy for North Korean human rights issues but has limited scope to engage directly with Pyongyang and influence conditions there. Since his appointment three-and-a-half years ago, he has only visited once, in 2011, when the U.S. was contemplating providing food aid to the impoverished country.

“I want to go,” she said, “I want to graduate, I want to do this not only for me, but for my family and especially my dad.”

Filling out college applications was a challenge, Smith said, and often she was nervous she would be one of the only FGCs on campus. Instead, she said, she found a community of about 280 students.

Smith is a mentor in PEGASUS, and said she enjoys being able to help people the way her mentors helped her.

“When you have those steady people to be there to just get the answers you need and help you in whatever way you need,” she said, “that’s very helpful. And they have become my family here.”

Maria Navarrete, a senior management major from Glen Rose, said she

has been a member of PEGASUS since her first year at Tech and is currently a mentor as well.

“My experience with PEGASUS has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in college,” she said. “Some of the friends that I’ve made here are those true friends that I know I can go to for anything that I would ever need, not just in college but also in life.”

Navarrete said she believes being an FGC and having to learn how to do things on her own helped her grow up faster. Using PEGASUS was one factor that helped her learn, she said, so much that now she is called a Tech ‘know-it-all’ among her friends.

According to a news release from Tibor Nagy, Tech vice president for international affairs, Ethiopia is interested in partnering with Tech.

The country has a population of about 91 million and spends more than 25 percent of its national budget on education, making this one of the largest education budgets in the world. In the past 10 years, the country has expanded its university system from three to 21 institutions.

Many of the country’s university faculty and researchers have bachelor’s degrees, but have not pursued graduate degrees. The nation is seeking partners to help in upgrading their undergraduate degrees to master’s and doctoral degrees.

“We hope to help their professors, since most of their professors only have a bachelor’s degree,” Nagy said. “The

So I think it’s going to help encourage other FGCs to want to apply here because it makes us sound more welcoming, that we’re more accepting and willing to help those that don’t have a family background in higher education, so I think if anything it’s just promoting us as a great university that we are.” ➤➤check@dailytoreador.com

better educated their professors are, the better opportunities they can present to their students.”

FBI: No ricin found in home of Mississippi suspect OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Investigators haven’t found any ricin in the house of a Mississippi man accused of mailing poisoned letters to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a local judge, according to testimony Monday from an FBI agent.

Agent Brandon Grant said that a search of Paul Kevin Curtis’ vehicle and house in Corinth, Miss., on Friday did not turn up ricin, ingredients

for the poison, or devices used to make it. A search of Curtis’ computers has found no evidence so far that he researched making ricin.

Defense lawyers for Curtis say investigators’ failure to find any ricin means the government should release their client. That lack of physical evidence could loom large as a detention and preliminary hearing continues Tuesday morning. U.S. Magistrate

Judge J. Allan Alexander ended the hearing after lunch Monday, citing a personal schedule conflict.

Through his lawyer, Curtis has denied involvement in letters sent to Obama, Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, and a Lee County, Miss., judge. The first of the letters was found April 15.

“There was no apparent ricin, castor beans or any material there that

could be used for the manufacturing, like a blender or something,” Grant testified. He speculated that Curtis could have thrown away the processor. Grant said computer technicians are now doing a “deep dive” on the suspect’s computers after initially finding no “dirty words” indicating Curtis had searched for information on ricin.

Christi McCoy, who is leading the defense for Curtis, said the government doesn’t have probable cause to hold her client and his history of problems related to bipolar disorder are not enough to keep him in jail.

“The searches are concluded, not one single shred of evidence was found to indicate Kevin could have done this,” McCoy told reporters after the hearing.

She questioned why Curtis would have signed the letters “I am KC and I approve this message,” a phrase he had used on his Facebook page, and then thrown away a processor used to grind castor beans. And she said that in any event, Curtis is not enough of an imminent danger or flight risk to justify holding him without bail.

“If they continue to demand his incarceration, it’s basically bad faith,” McCoy said. “Now, surely they are satisfied that there is no immediate threat from Kevin Curtis, and we want him released.”

McCoy said in court that someone may have framed Curtis, suggesting that a former business associate of Curtis’ brother, a man with whom Curtis had an extended exchange of angry emails, may have set him up.

Still, Grant testified that authorities believe that they have the right suspect.

“Given the right mindset and the Internet and the acquisition of material, other people could be involved.

However, given information right now, we believe we have the right individual,” he said.

Witherspoon ‘deeply embarrassed’ after arrest ATLANTA (AP) — Reese Witherspoon is “deeply embarrassed” about what she said to police officers after she and her husband were arrested during a traffic stop in Atlanta.

The Oscar-winning actress released a statement late Sunday apologizing for her behavior to police that began when her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was arrested early Friday for driving under the influence of alcohol.

“Do you know my name?”

Witherspoon is quoted as saying in a state trooper’s report. She also said: “You’re about to find out who I am” and “You’re about to

be on national news,” according to the report.

“I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said,” Witherspoon said. “It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.”

Witherspoon said she can’t comment further “out of respect” for the pending case, and her publicist, Meredith O’Sullivan

Wasson, offered no other details.

The 37-year-old actress was arrested on a municipal charge of disorderly conduct early Friday after a state trooper said she wouldn’t stay in the car while Toth was given a field sobriety test. She was released from jail after the Friday morning arrest and was in New York on Sunday night for the premiere of her new film, “Mud.” She posed for cameras on the red carpet but did not stop to talk to reporters.

The trooper noticed the car driven by her husband wasn’t staying in its lane early Friday morning, so he initiated a traffic stop. He reported that Toth had

Report: Bus driver says he may have blacked out DALLAS (AP) — The driver involved in a fatal North Texas bus crash told authorities he may have blacked out in the moments before the bus careened off the roadway and struck a concrete barrier, according to a report released Monday.

A preliminary report by the Texas Department of Public Safety said driver Loyd Rieve, 65, indicated he may have lost consciousness. The report found no defect with the Cardinal Coach Line bus. Instead, it cited Rieve’s failure to maintain his lane and his inattention while at the wheel as factors that contributed to the April 11 in Irving.

The report shows Rieve tested negative for drugs or alcohol.

The bus was taking a group of senior citizens to a casino in Oklahoma.

Two people were killed and more than 40 hurt in the immediate aftermath of the crash.

A third passenger died Sunday.

Rieve did not respond to a phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment Monday.

The day after the crash,

Rieve’s wife, Gail, told the AP that her husband suffered three broken ribs in the accident and remembered little about it.

“He came up on the barricade thing,” she said. “The next thing he remembers is being in front of the bus.”

A phone message left with Cardinal Coach Line Monday was not returned.

Alice Stanley, 83, Paula Hahn, 69, and Sue Taylor, 81, were killed in the crash.

Stanley died Sunday from injuries sustained in the crash that included multiple fractured vertebrae, broken ribs and a crushed sternum, said Quentin Brogdon, a Dallas attorney who filed a lawsuit on her behalf against Rieve and Cardinal Coach Line. Stanley had been hospitalized since the accident, and her arm had been amputated, Brogdon said.

Brogdon said the DPS report raises as many questions about Cardinal Coach Line as it does Rieve.

“What did they know about his condition?” Brogdon said.

“Was there something in his

physicals that should have put them on notice that (an accident) could occur?”

According to court records, Rieve was driving for another company in 1998 when he struck and killed a man who was trying to render aid at an accident scene on a highway near Dallas.

A Dallas County grand jury declined to indict Rieve on a charge of negligent homicide stemming from the collision, but Rieve and his employer still faced two lawsuits claiming they were negligent.

One lawsuit, filed by the family of the man who was killed, resulted in a jury finding Central West Motor Stages Inc. of Grand Prairie negligent for employing Rieve. However, the jury awarded no damages, deciding the Samaritan, 22-year-old Chad Rosell of Detroit Lakes, Minn., was largely at fault.

Gail Rieve told the AP that the bus struck Rosell because he jumped onto the road and the vehicle’s brakes were faulty.

“Loyd did everything he could to save those people on the bus and that young man,” she said.

Jury is seated in Jackson wrongful death case LOS ANGELES (AP) — A jury of six men and six women was accepted by both sides on Monday for the trial of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the mother of Michael Jackson against AEG concert promoters.

Lawyers immediately began questioning prospects to sit as alternate jurors.

The jury was seated a week after a pool of more than 100 candidates was assembled. Many prospects were eliminated because they said serving on a three-month trial would be a hardship.

Others were excused for cause when they said they had a bias against Jackson or disapproved of big-figure lawsuits. Others were rejected because they had business ties to AEG or the Jackson family.

Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, filed the case on behalf of herself and her son’s three children.

Their attorneys have pegged the po-

tential damages at $40 billion, but jurors will have to determine any amount the family might receive.

The lawsuit claims AEG, the company that promoted the illfated “This is It” concert, hired Dr. Conrad Murray as Jackson’s physician without checking his credentials. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of the superstar from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

Coincidentally, his lawyer filed an appeal on Monday of his criminal conviction.

The jury was selected ahead of time estimates. Lawyers were aided by a long questionnaire filled out by jury prospects that sought their views on Jackson and his famous family along with his life and death, and their feelings about multimillion dollar jury verdicts.

The civil case will focus on the pop singer’s possible role in his own demise. Witnesses will also tes-

tify about his troubled finances and whether AEG wielded too much influence over a cash-strapped Murray by offering him $150,000 a month for his job as Jackson’s doctor during the concert tour.

Neither AEG nor Jackson had signed Murray’s contract before the singer died.

Some evidence excluded from Murray’s trial, including Jackson’s financial and medical records, could be used in the civil case, possibly offering new insight into the singer’s life before his death on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50.

droopy eyelids, watery, bloodshot eyes, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol.

Toth told the trooper he’d had a drink, which Witherspoon said was consumed at a restaurant two hours before the traffic stop, the trooper writes.

Before the field sobriety test began, Witherspoon got out of the car, was told to get back in and obeyed, the report said. After the “Walk the Line” star got out a second time, the trooper said he warned her that she would be arrested if she left the car again.

As the test continued, “Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did

not believe that I was a real police officer. I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet,” Trooper First Class J. Pyland writes.

Toth, 42, was then placed under arrest. He was charged with driving under the influence and failure to maintain the lane.

At that point, the report says, Witherspoon got out and asked the trooper what was going on.

After being told to return to the car, she “stated that she was a ‘US Citizen’ and that she was allowed to ‘stand on American ground,’” the report states.

The trooper then began to arrest Witherspoon. The report

says Witherspoon was resistant at first but was calmed down by her husband.

Toth and Witherspoon were then taken to jail.

News of the arrest broke shortly before Witherspoon arrived on the “Mud” red carpet.

“I can’t say anything because I don’t know,” said director Jeff Nichols. “I literally — the first guy on the press line to say something was the first time I heard about it so I gotta go figure it out.”

Matthew McConaughey, who plays the lead role in “Mud” and is represented by Toth, said “I’m not going to comment on that because it’s too fresh.”

School resumes in Texas town hit by blast WEST, Texas (AP) — Teachers waited outside Monday morning like it was the first day of school in this tiny Texas town, hoping that a welcoming handshake or pat on the shoulder would make up for the fact that nothing else was normal.

Five days after a massive blast at a local fertilizer plant killed 14 and ripped many of West’s families from their homes, some students attended class in trailers behind damaged school buildings, while others were bused out of the city to once-abandoned campuses.

“They’re aggravated. They’re disappointed,” Nickole Hayes said as she dropped her three daughters at a car dealership that served as a temporary bus stop. “They know they have to go back, but there’s not a good way to be uprooted again.”

Some parents took the day off to walk or drive their children to school. Classmates who hadn’t seen each other for a few days talked and laughed — with dozens of reporters and TV cameras chronicling their

arrival.

“I’m just glad to get back to our routine,” said 14-year-old Sofia Guerra, sitting in the car Monday morning with her mother, Erika, as they dropped her sister off at West Elementary School.

“It’s unknown,” she added. “We don’t know what to expect.”

Dozens of homes in the city of 2,700 people were damaged in Wednesday’s explosion at West Fertilizer Co., and part of the town remains off limits. Authorities said Monday they are conducting a “slow and methodical” search of the site. And West Mayor Pro Tem Steve Vanek said restoring water and natural gas to the town could take weeks.

Counselors were in each classroom and available separately for students still dealing with the emotions of the blast — almost everyone in the town knew someone killed, hurt or displaced. Some teachers who reported to work Monday had not been home since the blast, said Jan Hungate, assistant superinten-

dent at West Elementary.

Her school had its normal bunch of pre-K through sixth-graders, but also set up trailers behind the building for intermediate students.

Middle-and high-school students were bused from the dealership to a spruced-up vacant school in neighboring Connally district.

West and Connally are rivals — or were until Wednesday night.

Connally got to work almost immediately, as volunteers and staff painted hallways, scrubbed floors and stocked classrooms with supplies. Signs were planted along the route to the building: “Welcome West Trojans.”

“To start school, they are ready,” said Wesley Holt, a Connally district spokesman.

Holt said they also placed binders, notebooks and pens on each desk. Other districts donated furniture, and a food-service company prepared the cafeteria, he said.

“We honestly had to ask people to stop sending school supplies,” Hungate said.

Although I had hesitated to say before that I was definitely no longer in “tourist” mode, the visit of my mother and great aunt to London has made this fact 100% clear to me. I am no longer a guest, but a guide. How did I come to this conclusion? Well, I was able to check off everything on this handy when-youknow-you-are-no-longer-abroad-butrather-home list. (Which, subsequently, I did make after my conclusion…It’s not a cop-out…I’m just trying to sound clever…LEAVE ME ALONE!) 1.

Your urge to explore is way, way down on your list of priorities. The original plan today was to visit Kew Gardens, a touristy large botanical garden site about a 50-minute tube ride away from where I live. I’ve never been there before, so I suggested it as an activity for the next day. When that day arrived, I thought “Man, that’s really far away,” and opted to tour my mom and aunt around areas I already knew and liked—Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, and the Borough Market.

2.

You aren’t staring wide-eyed at everything. While walking, I sped ahead while my mom and aunt loitered behind, commenting on how quaint the houses were, the funny street signs, the shape of the cars. In retrospect, I find it funny about how annoyed I was at their pace, as I know recall that in my first month here, commenting on the funnylooking trees and the layout of the streets was all I did.

3.

You never take pictures any more. My mother and aunt took pictures of everything, from the flowers, to the shop signs, to the wildlife, to the British flag. And of course, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Red Phone Booths got

at least 20 photo-ops each. I have to remind myself to take pictures now, and even then, they tend to just be on my phone. I haven’t used my camera since spring break.

4.

Why-can’t –anyone-understand-my-simple-directions-syndrome.

I told you already, you swipe your Oyster card, enter the lift, turn onto the platform, take the Southbound train to Morden via Charring Cross, get off at Embankment, and then change onto the Westbound Circle line to Westminster.

It’s not that hard. (Yes. Yes, it is Celia. It took you a month to figure that out. Shh, Celia. They don’t need to know that.

Well, you are sounding kind of pompous.

Shut up. Fine.)

5.

You’ve become a “regular.” I know which neighborhood pub has the best Tuesday Trivia nights, where to go for a casual drink on the weekdays, and which places are the best for a night out on the weekends. That café has the best Chai Latte, but if you want to study with wifi, you go there. The fish-and-chips are always good down the road, but make sure to order the small portion of the cod bites to get the best bang-for-your-buck.

Never, never, never go to that place for groceries, because it’s overpriced. The Thai Food Cart up the street is worth the walk, and ONLY buy cupcakes from that place at Primrose because they are THE BEST. **Please note, I cannot actually validate if any of these statements are true for anyone but myself. But I’m becoming a creature of habit. I rely on these places, and as I’ve entered the local category, they rely on me. It’s an important bond.

6.

Things annoy you more, usually things you used to do. I can’t believe this person is standing on the left side of the escalator: I need to pass them! No, the 20-pence coin is smaller than the 10-pence coin, and they are different shapes. It’s not that hard! It’s not a “Trash can,” it’s a “rubbish bin.” You can’t just order fish-and-chips and not put salt and vinegar on it! “Please stand clear of the doors”—can’t you hear the announcement?

we have to think about perhaps modifying the rules that investigators have and somehow coming up with something that is flexible and is more consistent with the threat that we now face.”

Flexible is the key term used because it can be manipulated in any circumstance.

Thankfully, no such bill has passed, but the public safety exception is still being allowed to continue. According to ABC News, Tsarnaev’s injuries to his neck and throat leave him unable to speak. Should he be able to speak in the future, the authorities investigating Tsarnaev still do not plan to read him his Miranda rights.

This should bring alarm to every American citizen. As Tsarnaev has every constitutional right as a U.S. citizen, what’s to stop you or me from being stripped of this right?

More importantly, the Su-

preme Court’s decision to exclude the reading of Miranda rights, a guaranteed Fifth Amendment right, when there is a fear of public safety leaves many such interrogations open to reductionist argument. The very point of putting someone in custody isn’t entirely for justice purposes.

Keeping suspects behind bars is supposed to protect the public from the accused. So in virtually any case, this exception can be made.

Without his Miranda rights, Tsarnaev may be bullied by investigators and give false information that incriminates himself.

We don’t know the extent he is involved with the bombing, there are many what-if questions if he was framed or not. After all, it is possible Tsarnaev could be found innocent. Let’s say hypothetically, and this is a bit of a stretch, Tsarnaev was naïve of his brother’s plan and dropped

the explosive bag. These investigations could ruin true justice in the case without a lawyer to help Tsarnaev articulate his side of the story.

The whole point of having the Miranda warning is not only to aid the presumed innocent until proven guilty, but is to provide public safety in the form of actually receiving correct and usable information regarding a crime.

Tsarnaev could be put under enough pressure in the investigations that he gives false information. This in turn could lead to all different kinds of possible mayhem depending on what he says, such as if he were to give names of people who weren’t involved or in the form of city panic, if he says there are still explosives in Boston.

Hopefully, citizens put pressure on the issue to make investigators back down and read

The Trots

Tsarnaev his rights if his wounds heal to the point he can talk.

Reading him his rights is not time consuming, and at the point he is able to talk, you’d figure if there were problem to public safety it would have already occurred.

The courts that hear Tsarnaev’s case should go back to the early precedent and not allow any testimony, which he gives without his Miranda rights, to be admissible in his trial. Although he was granted Miranda rights on Monday, if we allow rights of the accused to be abused and broadened, we step down a path leading to less justice. If we cave into losing rights and essential constitutional liberties for American citizens such as Tsarnaev because of fear from terrorist actions, haven’t they won?

Verbum Ultimum: It Will Love You Back EDITORIAL BOARD THE DARTMOUTH (DARTMOUTH COLLEGE)

Welcome to Hanover, future ’17s.

With the best undergraduate education in the world, our passionate student body and profound sense of community, Dartmouth is much more than just another four years of school. It is an experience, an incredibly engrossing chapter of your life that will leave you forever connected to this campus.

Dartmouth is a small college, and many of us love it for this exact reason.

With an undergraduate population of just over 4,000, we feel at home in the intimate environment of dormitories, classes and dining halls. Small class sizes grant you access to our faculty, who are some of the most accomplished scholars in their fields. There are opportunities to work on research projects in the arts and sciences that most undergraduates can only dream of. The College offers over 40 off-campus programs in 24 countries, and more than half of students study abroad at least once before they graduate.

The College’s distinct enrollment

system, called the Dartmouth Plan, has both upsides and downsides. It grants you maximum flexibility to pursue internships or study abroad during your sophomore and junior years, and during your sophomore summer, you will be on campus taking classes. This allows you to enjoy the beautiful summer weather and bond with the rest of your class. But the D-Plan also means many of your friends will come and go, and your schedule will be different from those you know from home.

In our intense 10-week quarters, students maximize both their time and

their relationships with others. Herein lies Dartmouth’s greatest strength — the powerful communal bonds that you will form with your classmates and peers. This dynamic is borne out in our social scene, where Greek life dominates while other extracurriculars, like the Dartmouth Outing Club, performance groups and service organizations, foment equally enriching environments and connections with peers. There is no way to neatly define Dartmouth, or any college, from a social perspective. You will find involved, outgoing and enthusiastic people in every niche on this campus.

The first time I came upon this page, I couldn’t really tell what was wrong. A few seconds later, I realized that that is precisely the problem.

Apparently this eye-opening (yet totally horrifying) collection is the product of someone’s procrastination on a random Sunday afternoon.

O

n Friday evening, there was a quick relief when we heard Boston Marathon bombings suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was apprehended by authorities.

Halfway through unscrewing the celebratory champagne, I heard news that made me agitatedly cork the bottle — I would need something a little bit stronger.

The FBI decided the 19-yearold suspect Tsarnaev, a U.S. nationalized citizen, would be stripped of his Miranda rights on a technicality called the public safety exception.

When th e exception was reported, I originally thought this was an unprecedented case.

Unfortunately, this is just one of the abuses of the law allowed by the Supreme Court.

According to research in Emily Bazelon’s article in Slate Magazine, the precedent came

website carries a short but thoughtful note: “Corners of the world where women have yet to tread. Shine a light,” it reads. Shine a light on the imbalances that pervade our society today (like this Tumblr!). Shine a light on the path that women can take to equality. Shine a light to identify up-and-coming women who can infiltrate these pages of all dudes.

As a woman who’s been working in the women’s leadership field for a while myself, that short phrase could not resonate with me more strongly.

With that said, declarations like these have recently tickled me with new ponderings. With things like this, we walk the thin line between providing a necessary reminder about our silent inequalities and pushing more and more women

towards a male version of leadership.

The spurts of anger inspired by moments like this in our social media are gradually calmed by newfound resolutions to “fight against the male-dominated system.” A seemingly innocuous statement. Except to fight against a male-dominated system, one is tempted to simply pick up the skills necessary in a male world and master it further.

As a young woman interested in these kinds of issues, I’ve attended countless leadership conferences, workshops, and seminars in which we have been trained in various skills in public speaking and networking, etc. I can’t deny that these things probably have come in handy at times, but my point here is that we should be putting in more of an effort Copyright © 2013 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

I heard that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) once joked that in the middle of a debate over a contentious bill, all of the women somehow got together in the bathroom to engage in a civil discussion while all the men stayed on the floor to fight it out at the top of their lungs.

This tendency to negotiate and cooperate rather than compete. The willingness to search for a “third way” and think outside the box. These are the qualities that we should learn about, discuss, and build upon at these seminars.

And it can’t hurt, especially at a time when all we hear are complaints about those that lead us today and how they perpetuate the broken system.

NYC proposes raising age for cigarette purchases NEW YORK (AP) — No one under 21 would be able to buy cigarettes in the city under a proposal unveiled Monday to make it the most populous place in America to set the minimum age that high.

Extending a decade of moves to crack down on smoking in the nation’s largest city, the measure aims to stop young people from developing a habit that remains the leading preventable cause of death, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said as she announced the plan. Eighty percent of the city’s smokers started lighting up before they were 21, officials say.

“The point here is to really address where smoking begins,” she said, flanked by colleagues and the city’s health commissioner. With support in the council and Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s backing, the proposal

has the political ingredients to pass.

But it may face questions about its effectiveness and fairness. A retailers’ representative suggested the measure would simply drive younger smokers to neighboring communities or corner-store cigarette sellers instead of city stores, while a smokers’ rights advocate called it “government paternalism at its worst.”

Under federal law, no one under 18 can buy tobacco anywhere in the country. Four states and some localities have raised the age to 19, and at least two communities have agreed to raise it to 21.

A similar proposal has been floated in the Texas Legislature, but it’s on hold after a budget board estimated it would cost the state more than $42 million in cigarette tax revenue over two years.

To public health and anti-smoking advocates, the cost to government is far outstripped by smoking’s toll on human lives.

They say a higher minimum age for buying tobacco discourages, or at least delays, young people from starting smoking and thereby limits their health risks.

“Curtailing smoking among these age groups is critical to winning the fight against tobacco and reducing the deaths, disease and health care costs it causes,” said Susan M. Liss, executive director of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

Smoking has become less prevalent overall in New York City over the last decade but has plateaued at 8.5 percent among the city’s public high school students since 2007. An estimated 20,000 of them smoke today.

It’s already illegal for many of them to buy cigarettes, but raising the minimum age would also bar slightly older friends from buying smokes for them.

City officials cited statistical modeling, published in the journal Health Policy, that estimated that raising the tobacco purchase age to 21 nationally could cut the smoking rate by two-thirds among 14-to-17year-olds and by half among 18-to20-year-olds over 50 years. Texas budget officials projected a one-third reduction in tobacco product use by 18-to-20-year-olds.

A higher minimum tobacco purchase age could cut into sales that make up 40 percent of gross revenues for the average convenience store, said Jeff Lenard, a spokesman for the National Association of Con-

venience Stores. But he suggested younger smokers might just go outside the city — the minimum age is 19 in nearby Long Island and New Jersey, for instance — or to black-market merchants.

To smoker Audrey Silk, people considered old enough to vote and serve in the military should be allowed to decide whether to use cigarettes.

“Intolerance for anyone smoking is the anti-smokers’ excuse to reduce adults to the status of children,” said Silk, who founded a group that has sued the city over previous tobacco restrictions.

Advocates for the measure say the parallel isn’t voting but drinking.

They cite laws against selling alcohol to anyone under 21.

The nation’s largest cigarette

maker, Altria Group Inc., had no immediate comment, spokesman David Sutton said. He has previously noted that the Richmond, Va.-based company, which produces the top-selling Marlboro brand, supported federal legislation that in 2009 gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco products, which includes various retail restrictions.

Representatives for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. didn’t immediately respond to phone and email inquiries.

Based in Winston-Salem, N.C., it makes Camel and other brands.

The age limit is already 21 in Needham, Mass., and is headed toward 21 in another Boston suburb, Canton. The Canton Board of Health agreed to the change this month, but it’s not yet implemented, said Public Health Director John L. Ciccotelli.

Appeal by doctor claims errors in Jackson trial Lufthansa cancels about LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eighteen months after his involuntary manslaughter conviction, Michael Jackson’s doctor on Monday appealed his case, claiming there were multiple legal errors at his trial.

A lawyer for Dr. Conrad Murray argued in the 230-page appellate brief that there was insufficient proof that Jackson died of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol administered by Murray.

The appeal also reiterated an often-stated defense claim that Jackson may have administered the overdose to himself.

The pop superstar died on June 25, 2009, days before he was to leave for England to perform in his ill-fated “This is It” concert.

Witnesses said Murray had been giving him propofol as a sleep aid, a purpose for which it was not intended.

Attorney Valerie Wass said that because of Jackson’s great fame, his doctor was used as an example by the judge who sentenced him to the highest term for involuntary manslaughter.

She suggested that even if his conviction is upheld, his four-year sentence should be reduced.

Murray is eligible for release in October after serving half his sentence.

Murray’s two-month trial in 2011 drew wide media coverage, and Wass argued that the judge should have excluded TV cameras from the courtroom and granted a motion to sequester jurors to keep them insulated from publicity.

“The unprecedented fame of the alleged victim combined with the pervasiveness of modern media rendered it impossible for appellant to receive a fair trial with a non-sequestered jury in a case that was televised and streamed live around the world,” the appeal said.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor had denied the defense motion, saying jurors who are sequestered often feel like prisoners and it interferes with their decisionmaking process. He instructed jurors daily to avoid publicity, and there was no indication that they violated the order.

The appeal also challenged the

prosecution theory that Jackson was hooked up to an IV drip of propofol and left alone in his bedroom by Murray.

It called that scenario “absurd, improbable and unbelievable,” and provided an exhaustive reprise of scientific testimony about Jackson’s death. Murray told police he gave the singer an extremely small dose of propofol, a fact contradicted by scientists who reconstructed the events preceding the death.

Wass contended that one defense attorney, Michael Flanagan, failed to adequately cross-examine a scientist who testified to that issue. She said he and other lawyers also waited too long to ask for examination of residue in a propofol bottle found in Jackson’s room, Their motion was filed 11 days after conviction and was denied.

The appeal faulted the judge for refusing to admit as evidence some of Jackson’s previous medical records, his contract with concert promoter AEG, and his financial documents.

“The trial court abused its dis-

cretion by excluding all evidence of Jackson’s financial condition, including lawsuits pending against him because such evidence was relevant to establish Jackson’s state of mind on the day he died, which may have explained his conduct that morning and supported the defense theory of the case,” the appeal said.

The attorney general’s office, representing the prosecution, has 30 days to respond to the appeal.

Wass then has another 20 days for her response.

She said the outcome of the appellate case could have some impact on pending medical board proceedings for Murray in Texas and California. The boards will decide whether to revoke Murray’s license to practice medicine in the two states.

Meanwhile, Murray may be summoned to testify in a civil lawsuit filed against AEG by Jackson’s mother, Katherine. Jury selection in that case is currently underway.

She claims the concert promoter was negligent in hiring Murray to care for the singer.

1,700 flights amid strike

BERLIN (AP) — Ground staff at Lufthansa, Germany’s biggest airline, walked off the job Monday on a one-day strike that prompted the company to cancel most of the day’s scheduled flights and left it complaining of “excessive” union tactics.

The strike by airline technicians and service personnel across Germany started in the early hours.

Lufthansa moved in advance to head off chaos, announcing on Saturday that it was canceling almost all scheduled short-haul flights and the majority of long-haul services.

In all, the airline planned to operate only 32 of more than 1,700 scheduled flights.

The ver.di union announced the “warning strike” — a tactic commonly used to raise pressure in wage talks — on Friday. Lufthansa last week rejected its demand for wage increases of 5.2 percent over the next year and job guarantees, countering with a complex offer that foresees smaller raises over a

29-month period. Ver.di, which is negotiating for some 33,000 workers, argued that the offer would mean wages falling in real terms.

“We demand that we definitely get a pay rise ... and we are not willing to accept increased working hours,” said Brigitte Scheffler, a Lufthansa employee at Berlin’s Tegel airport.

Ver.di official Gerold Schaub told n-tv television that the union had “no other possibility” to exert pressure on Lufthansa management, and noted that it was the airline itself that decided to scrap more than 1,600 flights.

Lufthansa is trying to cut costs to cope with high fuel prices as well as vigorous competition from European discount carriers and the big Gulf airlines such as Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways.

Last year, the airline and a union representing cabin crews called in an arbitrator to settle a pay dispute after a series of short-term stoppages.

Ginobili ‘feeling good’ day after Game 1 regular season. He missed every game in that stretch with the exception of the regular-season finale against Minnesota, when he played 12 minutes.

Ginobili played 19 minutes Sunday, going 6 for 13 from the field and 3 for 5 on 3-pointers in scoring 18 points to help the Spurs win the series opener. He helped San Antonio’s reserves outscore the Lakers’ backups 40-10.

“It’s just his basketball IQ,” Duncan said. “Just him being on the fl oor brings a different energy, a different movement to the entire team.”

Ginobili scored eight straight points in the final 90 seconds of the third quarter, including a pair of 3s, to extend San Antonio’s lead to 70-57.

The scoring outburst surprised Ginobili, who cautioned not to expect much from him offensively in Game 1 after a long layoff.

“I didn’t picture myself scoring,” Ginobili said. “I pictured myself playing, contributing, get-

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Gregg Popovich can rest easy.

Manu Ginobili is just fine.

The San Antonio Spurs’ coach was concerned how Ginobili would feel following a day after his team’s 91-79 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.

Ginobili said he is doing just fine, thank you.

“I’m feeling good,” he said Monday. “I’m a little tired, of course, playing after such a long time, but I didn’t play that much, either. I feel real good.”

That’s great news for San Antonio entering Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Popovich’s concern is understandable. In his 11th season, the Argentine guard has battled leg injuries all season and was playing for the second time following a nine-game absence due to a strained right hamstring.

San Antonio struggled without Ginobili, losing three straight and seven of 10 to close the

on defense.”

The Spurs allowed 97.3 points in their final 10 games of the regular season, but held the Lakers to their third-lowest point total of the season.

Dwight Howard had 20 points and 15 rebounds and Paul Gasol added 16 points and 16 rebounds.

Steve Nash scored 16 points and Steve Blake had 12, but no one else had more than six points.

“The Spurs didn’t lose many games at home,” Nash said.

“It’s not an easy place to come and win. We played pretty well defensively and not well enough offensively. If we can have a better game in Game 2, we have a chance. I don’t want to get too carried away about the position we are in.”

The Lakers pulled within four points twice in the third quarter, but were unable to get any closer. Injured star Kobe Bryant, who watched the national broadcast, tweeted that it was a game the Lakers could have stolen.

“Anytime you lose in the playoffs, you feel regret of some sort,” Nash said. “But I think our team, where we’re at, we want to take the positive and try to move on to Game 2 and have a better performance.”

Bryant tweeted throughout the game, stressing the Lakers needed to work the ball more inside. Los Angeles had 40 points in the paint, but Bryant tweeted “Post. Post. Post.”

Bryant is out for the season with a torn Achilles.

Ginobili said he considered tweeting while watching the Spurs’ games when he was injured, but opted not to.

“It’s not my style,” Ginobili said. “I thought about it the previous games before the end of the season when I was staying here and my teammates were on the road. Just to give a different view to some fans, I think it could be nice and different, but it depends on every individual what they want to tweet or talk about.”

Erik Kratz goes deep to lead Phillies past Cardinals PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Erik Kratz hit a three-run home run to break the game open in the eighth inning and lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night.

Mike Adams (1-1) tossed a scoreless eighth inning to help the Phillies split the four-game series. The Phillies snapped a 3-3 tie with a four-run eighth that put the game away.

Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 12 games with an infield single off reliever Mitchell Boggs (0-2). Dom Brown singled to put runners

on the corners with one out.

Ben Revere made it 4-3 on a go-ahead single up the middle.

Kratz then hit the first pitch deep into the left-field seats for a three-run homer and a 7-3 lead.

He also came up big in the seventh inning when he scored the tying run. He opened the inning with a single that chased Cardinals starter Jake Westbrook. Laynce Nix hit a pinchhit double into the left-center gap off reliever Fernando Salas that made it 3-3.

The Phillies tied it quickly after St. Louis went ahead in the top of the inning.

Utley, long one of Philadelphia’s most reliable players, had a weird game full of mental and throwing errors.

After his baserunning gaffe in the first ran the Phillies out of a scoring chance, Utley tried to atone in the sixth. His drive to center off Westbrook one-hopped over the wall for a double. Westbrook walked Young and Brown to load the bases.

There was a meeting at the mound — and whatever was said, it worked on Westbrook.

He retired Revere on an inning-

Jonathan Papelbon, one of four Philadelphia relievers, tossed a scoreless ninth.

Matt Carpenter’s solo shot, his second, in the first inning gave the Cardinals the early 1-0 lead.

Jimmy Rollins, who loves swinging at the first pitch,

worked a nine-pitch at bat and tripled to lead off the first. He scored on Utley’s RBI single to right. Ryan Howard made it 2-1 on a sacrifice fly, scoring John Mayberry Jr., who had walked.

The Cardinals tied in the sixth with Kendrick laboring at over 100 pitches. Craig singled and Matt Adams doubled to put runners at second and third. David Freese’s grounder made it 2-2.

The Phillies had 14 hits and the Cardinals 10 in a game that saw each team use five pitchers.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins pre-emptively postponed their game against the Miami Marlins, due to approaching inclement weather.

The Twins announced almost seven hours before the scheduled start time Monday that they’ll play the Marlins instead on Tuesday night as the second half of a split doubleheader. The two teams already were slated to play on Tuesday afternoon. This is only a two-game series.

To give workers more time to prepare the ballpark, the Twins also pushed the first game back an hour to 1:10 p.m. local time. The second game will be at 7:10 p.m.

Monday’s game was called while the temperature was 45 degrees, before any rain had even fallen. But the forecast was calling for a wet night, turning to heavy snow that’s supposed to taper by Tuesday morning after an estimated accumulation of three to six inches in the Twin Cities area.

The expected high for Tuesday was 42 degrees.

Four of Minnesota’s last eight

scheduled games have been wiped out before they began because of weather problems, including three at home. That matched their previous season high for postponements at Target Field, in 2011.

The Twins had only one washout in 2012 and one in 2010, plus a game that was suspended in that inaugural year for the limestone-and-glass ballpark.

The Twins moved out of the climate-controlled Metrodome after the 2009 season. The covered stadium sits only a couple of miles away, but in the reconfiguration process for football after the Twins left all the dirt was removed from the base paths. So the diamond is no longer up to major league standard.

Via Twitter, Twins President Dave St. Peter acknowledged the urging by some people for rescheduling of these games indoors. He joked in his tweet that “if this many fans had actually attended games” at the Dome, the Twins would’ve led MLB in attendance.

In a phone interview later, St. Peter said the Twins “would never say never” to a temporary shift if

the weather or other circumstance was dire enough. Such a change, however, remains unrealistic.

“Needless to say, our organization, and certainly our season-ticket holders and our sponsors, doesn’t have much interest in moving down to the Metrodome on a short-term basis for a game or two,” St. Peter said.

The weather has been a bother throughout baseball this month, not only in Minnesota.

According to STATS research, this was the 14th postponement of the season. Through the first 23 days, there were six postponements in 2012, 15 in 2011 and just two in 2010. This year, there have been 14 games played with a first-pitch temperature below 40 degrees.

“It’s been frustrating, needless to say,” St. Peter said. “Everything pointed to a really ugly night, one that playing baseball on wasn’t really an option, due to the rain, due to the snow, due to the wind, due to the old. It just doesn’t make much sense.”

St. Peter said, if the weather prevents the doubleheader from

being completed, that Wednesday is a possibility for another makeup slot. That would require approval from the players from both teams and the MLB Players Association, because of the limit on how many consecutive days teams can play.

Thanks in part to all the wintry weather plus one scheduled off day last week, the Twins haven’t lost in nine days since April 13. Their winning streak is at four games in a row, good enough to propel them into second place in the AL Central division. They were planning to send right-hander Kevin Correia to the mound on Monday, and he was moved to Tuesday afternoon. Right-hander Mike Pelfrey, scheduled to pitch the matinee, was pushed back to the night game, the Twins announced.

The Marlins, at least, didn’t lose again.

Miami (4-15) has the fewest wins and the worst record in the majors, a low not unexpected after the offseason sell-off that sent away most of the team’s best players to save money and start over with a young team and new manager Mike Redmond.

According to STATS research, this is their worst mark in Marlins history after 19 games. They were 5-14 in 1995, 1998 and 1999.

The Marlins are batting .212 with six home runs and 43 runs scored, all by far the fewest totals in the majors. Giancarlo Stanton, the only star who wasn’t traded, is hitting .188 with one run batted in.

Right-hander Ricky Nolasco, the scheduled starter for Monday, was bumped to the Tuesday afternoon game. Right-hander Jose Hernandez, slated to take the mound for the matinee, was slotted for the Tuesday night game instead, the Marlins announced.

Redmond was forced to wait for his reunion with the Twins, for whom he was a popular backup catcher from 2005-09. The Marlins also have a pair of former Twins pitchers, Jon Rauch and Kevin Slowey.

Heat roll, LeBron James Carter puts LA Kings past says team can play better Dallas Stars 4-3 in overtime MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James looked at the stat sheet, then looked at the cameras and said words that were absolutely not what the Milwaukee Bucks wanted to hear.

They might have even seemed downright ominous.

“We know we can play a better game,” James said.

His assessment came after the defending NBA champion Miami Heat pretty much did whatever they wanted in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

James scored 27 points on 9-for-11 shooting — finishing two assists shy of a triple-double — while Ray Allen scored 20 off the bench and the Heat picked up where they left off in last year’s playoffs, never trailing on the way to beating the Bucks 110-87 on Sunday night.

James also had game-highs of 10 rebounds and eight assists. According to STATS LLC, in the last 26 years, only Anthony Mason had finished a game (albeit one of the regular-season variety) with at least 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists on 11 or fewer shots until the league’s reigning MVP did it on Sunday.

“He’s in playoff mode,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.

Wade scored 16, Chris Bosh added 15 and Chris Andersen finished with 10 on 4-for-4 shooting for the Heat, who opened their title defense by holding Milwaukee to 42 percent shooting.

Brandon Jennings scored 26 points

and Monta Ellis added 22 for the Bucks, who have not won the opening game of a playoff series since May 2001.

Game 2 is Tuesday in Miami.

“We’ve got nothing to lose,” Jennings said. “Nobody should be scared or anything. Let’s just hoop.”

It might take more than that.

The Bucks lost by 23, and afterward, it was the Heat who seemed like the team more disappointed in its level of play.

Miami shot 7 of 23 from 3-point range, nearly 10 percent worse than its regular-season norm in that department. The Heat turned the ball over 19 times, five more than usual. They gave the Bucks 22 points off those miscues, which matched Miami’s sixthhighest total of the season.

And yet they still outscored Milwaukee in every quarter, led by as many as 25 in the late going and outrebounded the Bucks 46-31 — especially impressive considering the Bucks finished the regular season with the fifth-most rebounds per game in the league while Miami finished the year ranked last out of 30 teams.

“It’s a great way to start the series,” Bosh said. “They’re a feisty team over there. We wanted to make sure that we played good on defense and keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

James took a bit of a break at the end of the season while dealing with a strained right hamstring, was excused from the team for its final regular-season game to tend to personal matters

and said he came back to Miami late last week rested, refreshed and ready to open the title defense.

It showed. He alternated between steady and showtime modes, either running the offense or getting to the rim for spectacular left-handed dunks.

“We love him in that mode,” Wade said. “The time away was good and now he’s focused on his goal and his goal is to dominate every game and help take this team to a championship.”

James had taken only 11 shots in a playoff game twice before, and his postseason per-game average entering Sunday was just under 21 tries.

But with the way he controlled the game Sunday, he didn’t exactly need to shoot.

“All I care about is the win,” James said. “I didn’t even know my stats. I just knew that we were playing efficient offensively besides the turnovers. We want to try to keep that going.”

That’s probably not the best of signs for the Bucks.

“Obviously, incredibly efficient,” Bucks coach Jim Boylan said. “When you have a game like that, what can you do?”

Milwaukee came into the series with Jennings predicting his team would oust the reigning champions in six games.

They’ll have to win four of five now for that to happen. And with James playing like this, the odds would seem particularly slim.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After all the momentum swings, debatable calls and general weirdness in the Los Angeles Kings’ chippy visit from Dallas, neither team seemed all that surprised when it was decided on a puck to the chest.

Jeff Carter deflected the winning goal off his upper body with 51 seconds left in overtime, and the Kings took sole possession of fourth place in the Western Conference with a 4-3 victory over the Stars on Sunday night.

Captain Dustin Brown scored two goals for the defending Stanley Cup champions, and Mike Richards scored an early goal before putting the puck off the crest on Carter’s black jersey in front for the overtime winner — Carter’s 25th goal of a standout season.

“Giving up a two-goal lead and then falling behind and being able to come back and win is a good response by our group,” Brown said.

The Kings (26-14-5) moved two points clear of San Jose for fourth place and home-ice advantage in the first round after the Sharks lost to Columbus.

Both teams have three games left, with San Jose visiting Los Angeles for the regular-season finale Saturday.

The champs also got a reminder of the tenacity necessary to win in the postseason after Dallas got the benefit of two late refereeing decisions — a Dallas goal that stood after Ryan Garbutt played the puck with a precariously high stick, and a Los Angeles goal that was waved off for unclear reasons.

“The second goal against, and the goal taken away in the third, were judg-

pretty good shot here.”

The Stars have a game in hand on Columbus, but Detroit is even with Dallas in ninth place with 48 points, and the Red Wings have a game in hand on the Stars. Dallas still hosts Columbus and Detroit in the season’s final week, keeping its playoff fate in its own hands.

“There’s some crazy stuff that happened out there, but stuff that’s out of our control,” Dallas defenseman Stephane Robidas said. “You’ve just got to battle through it. We’re still in there. We’re still right there. It’s still right there for us.”

After Richards opened the scoring early in the first period, Brown got his 17th goal with a clinical wrist shot into a tiny opening early in the second period.

Just 20 seconds later, Eriksson took a wild swing at a deflection of Ray Whitney’s shot, getting just the second goal in 17 games for Dallas’ leading scorer.

The Stars evened it late in the second period after Garbutt swatted a puck out of mid-air with what appeared to be a blatant high stick. The deflection landed right on the stick of Roussel, who scored his seventh goal of the season. Quick skated out of his crease and slapped the ice in anger when the goal stood.

Just 10 seconds into the third period, the puck went behind Lehtonen while Los Angeles’ Trevor Lewis crashed the net, but the officials blew the play dead, further incensing the sellout Staples Center crowd.

Moments later, Goligoski scored his third goal in 44 games. The Kings came back with fire, and Brown tied it with a power-play goal off a rebound.

ment calls by the refs,” Brown said. “That stuff happens throughout the course of a game and throughout the course of the season. It’s a matter of how you respond when things aren’t going your way.”

The Kings ended Dallas’ four-game Staples Center winning streak in a badtempered meeting between division rivals. Los Angeles has won six of its last nine games, earning a point all but once.

Jonathan Quick made 24 saves while beating Dallas for the first time in four tries this season. Los Angeles also prevented rival Anaheim from clinching its second Pacific Division title in franchise history after the Ducks won at Edmonton earlier. Los Angeles trails Anaheim by five points with three games left.

“Honestly, I’m not watching anybody else,” Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said. “I just want us to take care of our own business, and who we play is who play. ... I don’t think we’re selective about that. We’ve talked about (home ice), but that’s the end result.”

Alex Goligoski scored early in the third period and Kari Lehtonen stopped 27 shots for the Stars, who have lost three of four. Loui Eriksson and Antoine Roussel also scored for the Stars (22-19-4), who sit three points behind the Blue Jackets and Minnesota for the final playoff spot.

“Our work ethic was there, as it has been for a while now, so it’s always good to see,” Goligoski said. “Points are huge right now. We battled to get one point, and then kind of let it slip right there, but we’ve just got to move on. If we win these next three, we feel like we have a

Sites to be settled for college football playoff (AP) — With the how and when of college football playoffs determined, it’s time to lock in the where.

The conference commissioners in charge of putting together the fourteam playoff system that will start after the 2014 regular season will meet starting Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif.

At the top of their agenda: Pick three more bowls to be used in the semifinal rotation and decide on a site for the first national championship game.

“It will be another big step,” BCS executive director Bill Hancock said recently.

True, though all signs point toward these big steps being foregone conclusions. The Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-fil-A bowls are the overwhelming favorites to be chosen for the playoff rotation, and have been for a while. So much so that only one other bowl — the Holiday Bowl in San Diego — even put in a bid to be part of the system that will replace the Bowl Championship Series.

“I was a little surprised we didn’t get more,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.

Hancock said there was plenty of interest even though it didn’t result in bids.

“I talked to 10 or 12 bowls about it,” he said. “I think for various

reasons people decided, many of the bowls decided, they’d rather go in a different direction. Some wanted to stick with their conference contracts, others couldn’t meet specs for 55,000 seat stadiums.

“We’re not disappointed with the numbers. We have good options and there are terrific stadiums.”

Bowlsby conceded the appearance of three bowls having the inside track to the playoff rotation might have deterred others from bidding.

Even Holiday Bowl organizers acknowledge they are a big underdog.

“We know it’s a tough competition,” Holiday Bowl executive director Bruce Binkowski said. “But we felt it was incumbent upon us to make a bid.

“It’s tough to beat out the incumbents.”

As for the site of the first national championship game, which will be played Jan. 12, 2015, the front-runner is Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of not only the Dallas Cowboys but the Cotton Bowl.

It’s not quite a done deal. Tampa, Fla., also put in a bid that is being considered. But it’ll be hard to pass up playing the first national title game of the playoff era in the Dallas Cowboys’ state-of-the-art football palace.

The new postseason system will

also get a name this week.

“It will be simple,” Hancock said.

“It will not be cutesy. And it will be

descriptive. I’ve seen too many people make mistakes by trying to be cutesy.”

Also on the agenda will be the

selection committee that will pick the final four. The commissioners want a panel similar to the one that picks the

field for the NCAA basketball tournament, composed of athletic directors and conference commissioners.

Cowboys could be going offensive lineman 1st in draft again IRVING (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys went 30 years without drafting an offensive lineman in the first round.

They might do it for the second time in three drafts Thursday night.

Blockers are among the needs after Dallas signed two free-agent guards last year and still finished second-to-last in rushing in the NFL. If the Cowboys take a guard in the first round, it will be just the second time in franchise history. John Niland went with the fifth overall pick in 1966, and only made six Pro Bowls in his 10 pro seasons.

Right tackle is a question, too, after Doug Free had a bad year and became a part-time player alongside undrafted

free agent Jermey Parnell.

If Dallas gets a guard early, it will probably involve moving up for the third time since 2010, when a sliding Dez Bryant was taken late in the first round. The top two guards, Chance Warmack of Alabama and Jonathan Cooper of North Carolina, are projected as top 10 picks by many draft analysts.

The Cowboys have the 18th pick, and plenty of needs if they stand pat.

One of those is the other part of the running game — the guy carrying the ball. There’s no established backup to the injury-prone DeMarco Murray after Dallas decided not to bring back Felix Jones.

“Running the football is something we have to do better, there is no question about that, so we will try to do that a lot of different ways: how we coach the run game, how our players execute the run game, certainly adding players is a big part of that,” coach Jason Garrett said Monday. “But, again, we want to be true to drafting the best players throughout this whole draft process to help our team get better.”

Depth at safety is an issue after Gerald Sensabaugh became a salary cap casualty. Barry Church is expected to start after missing most of last year with a torn Achilles tendon. Secondyear player Matt Johnson, who missed all of his rookie season with a hamstring

injury, will be in the mix along with veterans Danny McCray and Will Allen.

McCray, a fourth-year player and special teams ace, was second on the team with a career-high 87 tackles after injuries led to extensive playing time.

Dallas needs to have plenty of options at defensive line and linebacker for the transition back to the 4-3, although owner Jerry Jones backed Garrett’s assertion that the personnel matches up fairly well with the switch already.

Sean Lee and Bruce Carter figure to start at linebacker, and Ernie Sims is coming back after solid work as a midseason signing when injuries mounted. Justin Durant is coming

over from Detroit, and the Cowboys hope to see more from Kyle Wilber, like Johnson a fourth-round pick last year, and undrafted free agent Alex Albright.

Anthony Spencer is likely to join DeMarcus Ware as a pass-rushing end in the new scheme, putting most of the focus on the interior of the defensive line. Jay Ratliff had an injury-plagued year and was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving just weeks after teammate Josh Brent was charged with intoxication manslaughter in the death of linebacker Jerry Brown.

Brent’s career is on hold as his case works its way through the courts. He was starting in Ratliff’s place at the time

of the accident in December.

“Our anticipated defensive scheme is influencing to some degree the kind of safeties or the kind of linemen, especially, that we’re looking at,” Jones said.

“The good news is we really are in good shape over on the defensive side of the ball where that scheme is.”

The Cowboys scrambled to fill holes all season when injuries decimated their defense in 2012. Part of the problem was a poor 2009 draft when Dallas didn’t have a first-round pick because of the trade for receiver Roy Williams, and traded out of the second. Dallas stockpiled later-round picks four years ago, and not one of those 12 players is still on the roster.
