Judicial vacancies in Texas among highest in US AUSTIN (AP) — The number of federal judicial vacancies in Texas is among the highest in the nation and the problem is compounded by recent budget cuts and a growing volume of felony cases that are being delayed.

There are eight vacancies on district benches in Texas and two more are expected within the year. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel tells the Austin American-Statesman the problem is particularly acute in the western judicial district, which has the second-highest number of criminal felony filings per judge in the country.

Meanwhile, federal cuts over the years have resulted in staff reductions and the elimination of court programs.

Court officials say more cases are placed on hold, defendants spend more time in jail and there are longer waits to appear in court.

Spurs beat Heat 104-87 in Game 5 to win NBA title SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, the winningest trio in NBA postseason history, shared hugs.

Players wrapped themselves in flags from around world, a reminder that the San Antonio Spurs look far beyond the border to build champions, as confetti fell from above.

Painfully denied 12 months ago by the Miami Heat, this victory party was worth the wait.

“It makes last year OK,” Duncan said.

The Spurs finished off a dominant run to their fifth NBA championship Sunday night, ending the Heat’s two-year title reign with a 104-87 victory that wrapped up the series in five games.

“We had a great first quarter, but from that point on they were the better team, and that’s why they’re the champions in 2014,” said LeBron James, who led the Heat with 31 points and 10 rebounds.

San Antonio erased an early 16-point deficit and routed Miami for the fourth time in the series, denying the Heat’s quest for a third straight championship. A year after the Spurs suffered their only loss in six finals appearances — a heartbreaking seven-game defeat — they turned the rematch into no match at all.

“We wanted to redeem ourselves.

I’m just glad we were able to do that,” Parker said.

Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who added this title to the ones they won in 1999, 2003, ‘05 and ‘07. They nearly had another last year, but couldn’t hold off the Heat.”

By KAITLIN BAIN STAFF WRITER

Hundreds gathered on the floor and in the stands Saturday to listen to music and Marcus Luttrell speak as a part of Southcrest Christian School’s fundraiser called Lone Survivor in the Lone Star.

The event was sponsored by Southcrest Christian School, Cathy Landtroop, host of the event, said, and honored local service members, five Honor Flight members and local active duty and retired service members.

Josh Wilson was introduced to sing for the audience by his dad, David Wilson, sr. pastor of Southcrest Baptist church, and he took the stage, peppering his performance with the stories behind several of his songs, including the story of Jaken, the son of Wilson’s friends.

“The doctors said that Jaken only had a 2 percent chance

of living four days,” he said, “but I saw him a couple of months ago and he is now 12 years old.”

After Wilson performed, service members were recognized and a short auction was conducted to raise money for the school, then, keynote speaker Luttrell took the stage.

Before he began speaking, a video was played explaining the meaning of being a Navy Seal as well as explaining Operation Red Wings.

“They were taught never to give up and never ever leave a man behind,” the video said.

After taking the stage and introducing himself, Luttrell said what he was going to tell audiences tonight is the parts of his story that were either classified at the time the book was released or there was not enough room in the book to put everything.

The Texas Tech Advertising team, Bullet Advertising, recently placed third in the 2014 American Advertising Federation’s National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) in Boca Raton, Florida.

This year the client the competition was based around was Mary Kay. The students were in charge of researching the brand and creating a fitting campaign to be pitched. After the national competition, Mary Kay has the rights to use parts of the winning campaigns, according to the Tech website.

a Navy Seal operation, he said, and it’s mission was to either capture or kill Ahmed Shah.

“My primary mission while I was in Afghanistan was I was on a special reconnaissance team,” he said. “Basically what that meant was it was a four-man team. They would literally slip us in under the cover of darkness. You fall out of an airplane, slide out of a helicopter, ride in on horseback, take a Humvee or walk into the mountains, deep into the mountains for days.

“Now our job was to hunt down one man and watch him, anywhere from six to 10 days. Do all the stuff we need to do and when we get the green light we either eliminate the threat or we snatch him out of there and interrogate him and whatever I got out of him I’d go get someone else.

That’s how we rolled.”

The Horned Frogs were able to answer with two runs of their own during the bottom of the eighth, according to the release, and were able to clinch the game with a score of 3-2, as Tech was not able to score in the ninth.

During the game, according to the release, senior outfielder, Adam Kirsch, was able to extend his season-best hitting streak to 15 games.

The game was also his 15th multiplehit game.

2009 Tech had made a trip to the national competition.

The team’s journey to nationals began in Austin at the district competition where Bullet placed first, followed by a second place at the semifinals.

Bradford said their district is known for being large, and at one point Bullet was happy just to place at the district competition, but once after being ranked so high in the semifinals, the team realized what they were capable of.

“After placing second at semifinals we realized they we were onto something,” Bradford said. “They really liked our campaign.”

Tadlock named Coach of the year

by College Baseball Hall of Fame

By KYMBRE KUPATT STAFF WRITER

Texas Tech head baseball coach, Tim Tadlock was named the 2014 National College Baseball Hall of Fame Skip Bertman National Coach of the Year. Tadlock lead his team to the College Baseball World Series for the first time in Red Raider history.

The Red Raiders have posted a 45-19 overall record this season prior to the CWS, according to the Tech Athletics page.

The award was created by the College Baseball Hall of Fame program in 2013 and named after Skip Bertman because of his coaching career at Louisiana State University.

The finalists are chosen by the College Baseball Hall of Fame and then given to a committee of five active head coaches to be narrowed down to one, Mike Gustafson, the executive

FAX: 806-742-2434

director of the National College Baseball Hall of Fame, said.

“It was an obvious choice for us to name it after coach Bertman, because he just had a dazzling career at LSU winning five national championships and he was an inductee in our first induction class,” he said, “just one of those Mount Rushmore type people in college baseball.”

Tadlock was a recipient of the Coach of the Year award because of the success the Tech baseball program has experienced this season, Gustafson said.

“I think the most telling part of this year, you talk about a 19 game turn around, the other key part of the accomplishment is the fact that they came into the season picked 8th in the big 12 and have obviously finished with a flurry.”

Fans gather to cheer during Tech, TCU game

By KAITLIN BAIN STAFF WRITER

Fans wearing red or purple both gathered in multiple locations to watch their respective teams play their first game at the College World Series, Sunday.

Among several venues who modified their hours or offered specials during the game Sunday were Premiere Cinemas and Buffalo Wild Wings.

Jason Thode, a representative for Premiere Cinemas, said the theater wanted to put on this event to both support Tech and because during their regular football game showings, they had seen a lot of interest in the past. “ We ’ r e o w n e d b y Te c h alumni,” he said. “They really wanted to put this event on in addition to the football games we’ve done in the past and will do next year as well.”

The event offered fans free tickets starting at 9:30 a.m.

Sunday morning on a first-come first-serve basis, he said.

Each person who came was given two tickets, he said, until the theater ran out.

Luttrell↵

Not only did Luttrell explain certain pieces of Operation Red Wing in more detail than the book or the movie, but he also told the audience details about his family and childhood and his experiences while on set for the “Lone Survivor” movie.

“In the past this event has been casual,” he said. “Everyone shows up in their Tech gear ready to cheer on the Red Raiders.”

In addition to offering fans free tickets, he said, the theater also carried in food and beverages in the theater instead of just at the concessions counter so fans did not have to leave during the middle of the action because they wanted a drink.

There had been a lot of buzz before the game, he said, and hopes after counting how many people attended they will have had more attendees than in the past.

Greg Ovalle, junior electrical engineering major from San Antonio, and Bryant Jordan, senior mechanical engineering major from Wylie, Texas, attended the viewing event at Buffalo Wild Wings.

“I think going out with friends for any kind of event is really fun,” Ovalle said, “especially meeting new people. I also wanted to because it’s more exciting to have a lot of people around you who root for the same team as you.”

Jordan said the event was

quiet during a large part of the game because people were concentrating on the action, but would pick up when something big happened.

He said one of these big events was when Tyler Neslony hit a triple and it seemed like everyone in the building was cheering because it was so loud.

“It was really nice,” Ovalle said. “Going to a place where you know everyone loves Texas Tech just as much as you do and watching the game with them just adds to the amazing atmosphere.”

Both said they found out there were TCU fans in the audience as well during the eighth inning when the horned frogs scored two runs.

“It was really silent except for one table that was most likely a table of TCU fans cheering,” Ovalle said. “I felt that everyone watching believed Tech could come back from the one run deficit that they were in, but they unfortunately could not.”

Both students also said they will be watching the game on Tuesday and hope Tech will come out on top. ➤➤kbain@dailytoreador.com

TEXAS TECH FANS watch the pregame show on ESPN2 before Tech’s game against Texas Christian on Sunday inside the Premiere Cinemas theatre at South Plains Mall.

He said he comes from a military family and they like to joke with his twin brother because he’s one of the only men in the family for the past three generations that has not gotten shot.

“He (his twin) was on his twelfth deployment when he broke his back again,” he said.

“He called me from the hospital and said, ‘Man, I didn’t get shot.’ I was like, ‘Alright, what

happened?’ He said, ‘Man, I broke my back again.’ I was like, ‘Alright, come on home we’ll get you patched up.

“The doctor was walking in at about that time and he said, ‘I don’t know what you do for a living but you need to stop.’ He said, ‘I’m a Navy Seal.’ ‘Yep, I got that. You still need to stop.’”

He addressed many of the events in his life, both positive and negative, with humor and many of the audience members interacted with his stories with

laughter and clapping.

He said he got to stay on the set of Lone Survivor to give comments and he said he felt like the people on set tried their hardest to make the film as authentic as possible.

His team of about 10 Navy Seals were also on set to help train the actors, he said.

“We got a hold of them about a month prior to filming,” he said. “They be bopped in there kind of late, they were all pretty looking and they thought they

were the alpha males. They walked in there and we said, ‘Shut your trap, you’re late.’ We threw them in the deep end right away. There was live fire, it was no joke but they took to it.”

After audiences gave Luttrell a standing ovation, he asked them to sit.

He said he does not feel like he is a hero but instead just a gunfighter that at one point got set in the stereotype that everyone from Afghanistan is a terrorist.

“Man, when I went out there if I put a bullet in you that was the nicest thing I did to you,” he said. “I was okay with that.

I just didn’t think there was anybody good in Afghanistan. I didn’t care. There’s good people everywhere. That’s one of the most important lessons I learned.

I actually apologized (to my friend), I said, ‘Hey man, I’m sorry for the stuff we’re doing out here.’ He just turned to me and said, ‘War is hell.’”

Dunavant said, “And the research group would do all of the research that needed to be done like conducting surveys and focus groups for information we though was going to be pertinent to the case.”

In the spring, the team was divided into different specialized teams that worked together to achieve a nationally ranked campaign, Dunavant said.

“There was a bunch of different individual committees and

we come together as a group and put it all together.,” he said. “It was kind of unexpected but we all hit it off.”

For the members of Bullet, the year was nonstop working on their campaign, he said.

“We worked from September to Christmas break,” Dunavant said. “Then we came back in January and hit the ground running, working through spring break.”

Conner Drew, a member of the

creative team said the experience will prove to be valuable when working after graduation.

“The whole experience was great, not only the campaign in itself as a project but also in the way that the team worked, as far as deadlines and each small team doing their part,” Drew said. “It was the biggest learning experience that is going to be closest to what happens in the real world.”

The makeup of the team consisted of a creative group and a research group according to Ryan Dunavant, the promotions director for the team.

“The creative group would spent time coming up with ideas they thought were going to work best for this campaign,”

2 Christians kidnapped Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula CAIRO (AP) — Masked armed men, suspected to be Islamic militants, kidnapped two Coptic Christians in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in two separate incidents, and clashes between Egyptian security forces and Islamist supporters of deposed president in the capital left one policeman dead on Monday, officials said.

The abductions come as Egypt’s designated Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab is finalizing lineup of new cabinet due to swear in, following the election of President AbdelFattah el-Sissi, the former defense minister and military chief.

El-Sissi’s ouster last year of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi — and the subsequent crackdown on Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood — garnered him strong support among Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s population.

Still, Christians have continued to be targeted by Islamic militants either as retaliation for their support to el-Sissi or for the sake of hefty ransoms. Coptic organizations have reported dozens of abductions since Morsi’s July 3 ouster — most in the south, where large concentrations of Christians are located near strongholds of Islamic groups.

In the northern Sinai — where about 10,000 Copts live — the military has been waging an offensive against Islamic militants who have escalated attacks and suicide bombings against police and military since Morsi’s removal.

Security and church officials said Monday that in the north Sinai city of el-Arish masked gunmen snatched Wadie Ramses, a prominent surgeon who runs the city’s first private-owned hospital around midnight Saturday after they opened fire on his vehicle, wounding him in the leg. Hours later, they demanded a ransom of 10 million Egyptian pounds ($1.4 million).

AU S T I N ( A P ) — H o l l y wood loves stars and loves an underdog, and Democrat Wendy Davis is both. At a recent rooftop fundraiser hosted by Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg at the Bad Robot film studios near Los Angeles, she socked away more money for what could be a financially record-shattering race for Texas governor.

Likewise, in Manhattan brownstones, Silicon Valley mansions and Washington hotels, Davis has told her compelling personal story of rising from a trailer park to Harvard Law and reeled in donors. She now has financial backers in every U.S. state and has collected nearly four times as much — at least $3.6 million — from outside Texas as her opponent, Republican Greg Abbott.

The Fort Worth state lawmaker’s feats as a fundraising dynamo since her nearly 13-hour filibuster over new Texas abortion restrictions a year ago have put her in a stronger financial position than any recent Democratic candidate

for Texas governor, raising the likelihood she’ll be able to afford the barrage of airtime needed to compete in a state with two time zones and 20 media markets.

“Texas is a huge state,” said Kristin Oblander, a national Democratic fundraiser who helped host a Davis luncheon in Atlanta.

She added, “The budgets for these races are immense, and the pressure for fundraising is huge.”

But Republicans are beginning to make an issue of her out-ofstate money, and it’s not clear whether the cash will be enough to help her close the gap in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office in 20 years.

Davis has continued to trail significantly in polls following Texas primary elections, and just this week made a huge shakeup by switching campaign managers. Even the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association didn’t include Texas while ticking off a list of top races that the group deems winnable.

Davis isn’t eager to discuss her out-of-state support.

McQueen updates classic tailoring at London show status as the historic home of men’s fashion — a city that has dressed a long list of kings and the world’s wealthiest men and invented classic items like the tuxedo jacket, the bowler hat and the three-piece suit.

McQueen showed stark white lab coat-like jackets accented with sporty prints and squiggle shapes, and punk-influenced outfits in red and shiny black leather — clothes that at first sight appeared anything but traditional. But many of his looks, like the waistcoat worn over an untucked shirt and the fitted double-breasted suit worn with sneakers, were clever takes on the best of classic English tailoring.

LONDON (AP) — In the world of women’s fashion, London often plays second fiddle to other style capitals — it lacks the allure of Paris’s haute couture or the polish of Milan’s luxury labels.

Yet when it comes to dressing the gentleman, no city can rival the British capital’s heritage.

2016 chances may be hurt by GOP’s midterm strength DENVER (AP) — Republican strength in this year’s House and Senate races could, strangely enough, hurt the party’s presidential chances by stalling the changes in style and policy advocated after Mitt Romney’s defeat in the 2012 presidential campaign.

GOP officials and strategists say it’s hard to persuade party leaders to adjust the political recipe when they feel increasingly upbeat about adding Senate control to their solid House majority this fall. This optimism, numerous GOP strategists say, makes looking past the party’s loss of the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections easy.

“It’s very difficult to make an argument for change and mo dernization when you’re winning,” said Joel Sawyer, a former South Carolina GOP official who advises campaigns in several states. Citing the party’s nationwide reliance on older white voters, Sawyer said, the GOP needs “to start modernizing now to become relevant to younger voters and

nonwhite voters.”

The party’s dilemma was in sharp relief in a Denver public television studio here, where four candidates gathered for a Republican primary debate in the race to represent the deeply conservative, rural and exurban 4th Congressional District, which covers the eastern third of the state.

All the candidates said they oppose gay marriage, want to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care plan and object to allowing people living in the country illegally to become citizens.

The front-runner in the Colorado race, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, narrowly lost a U.S. Senate race in 2010 because he was seen as too extreme on issues like abortion and immigration. Now he has been hit in ads by state Sen. Scott Renfroe for “flip-flopping” on those two issues.

“It’s one of the great ironies of Republican politics that we fall victim to,” Buck said in an interview. “I’m very conservative on life, I’m very conservative on

immigration, but given enough money” anyone can be attacked for not being pure enough.

Renfroe said, “We need candidates who will stand firmly for what they believe.”

Immigration was an issue singled out by a GOP-commissioned “autopsy report” last year that analyzed Romney’s loss to Obama. The report said Republicans must embrace “comprehensive immigration reform” — Washington shorthand for legalizing the immigration status of those living here illegally — to improve the GOP’s strained relationship with the fast-growing Hispanic and Asian electorate.

The recommendations quickly hit resistance from congressional Republicans who rely on primary voters strongly opposed to “amnesty” for immigrants living here illegally.

The resistance might have softened if Republican lawmakers felt threatened by public disdain for the 2013 government shutdown or by worries of midterm election setbacks this fall. Instead, the shutdown issue faded, and Republicans are

having a good primary season.

With all cylinders firing, “it’s harder to hold that conversation about making the party a winner at the national level,” said former Senate Republican staffer John Ullyot.

Republicans’ talk of finding a winning strategy for presidential elections is sometimes drowned out by confident and staunchly conservative lawmakers coasting toward another re-election.

“The age-old conundrum is, do we change who we are to more adequately fit the electoral trends, or do we try to exert the leadership that will change the electoral trends?” said six-term Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz. “I am a firm believer in the latter.”

Franks said he’d rather see Republicans lose presidential races than “play to the electorate what our polls tell us, regardless of principle.”

Rep. Kenny Marchant, RTexas, said Republicans could risk eroding support if “we make drastic changes in our underlying policies” that led to their House majority.

Immigration is the most piv-

otal issue in his west Dallas district, Marchant said. While some Republicans outside the South find it easy to endorse comprehensive immigration reform, he said, “almost anything you put out has a second- or third-related cousin, and its name is amnesty.”

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus acknowledges the GOP is “a tale of two parties.”

“We’ve got a midterm party that doesn’t lose, and a presidential party that’s having a hard time winning,” he told The Associated Press in an interview.

But Priebus declined to blame the split on policy, be it immigration or budget gridlock, that House Republicans have helped bring about. Instead, he said the party has largely conceded minority and younger voters by not engaging them directly in their communities. He touted the party’s ongoing expansion of field offices aimed at reversing the trend.

But without a presidential race on the ballot this fall, those younger and minority voters are expected to turn out

in reduced numbers.

The GOP primary winner is likely to win the 4th District’s seat in Congress. The incumbent, Republican Rep. Cory Gardner, is stepping aside to challenge Democratic Sen. Mark Udall.

Republicans have had a dismal track record in Colorado over the past decade, losing three U.S. Senate races, two presidential contests and one gubernatorial election. The state’s voting population is concentrated in a handful of counties around Denver, far from the 4th District’s wheat farms and exurbs.

But Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Weld County Commissioner who is one of the four primary contenders, said she thinks the GOP’s problem is tied to candidates, not its positions. She noted that a majority of the state’s county commissioners, who represent mostly rural counties, are Republicans.

“We just need to put forward good candidates with experience who stick to their views,” she said.

Feds aren’t inspecting 4 in 10 higher-risk wells NEW CASTLE, Colo. (AP) — Four in 10 new oil and gas wells near national forests and fragile watersheds or otherwise identified as higher pollution risks escape federal inspection, unchecked by an agency struggling to keep pace with America’s drilling boom, according to an Associated Press review that shows wide state-by-state disparities in safety checks.

Roughly half or more of wells on federal and Indian lands weren’t checked in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, despite potential harm that has led to efforts in some communities to ban new drilling.

In New Castle, a tiny Colorado River valley community, homeowners expressed chagrin at the large number of uninspected wells, many on federal

land, that dot the steep hillsides and Factors also include whether the rocky landscape.

oil and gas wells on public lands, 3,486 of which received the high priority designation.

According to BLM records for fiscal years 2009 to 2012, 1,400 of those high priority wells, spread across 13 states, were not federally inspected. Wyoming had the most, 632, or 45 percent. South Dakota had 1 out of 2 wells uninspected, and Pennsylvania had 1 out of 6.

All the higher-risk wells were inspected in six states — Alabama, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio and Texas.

Many more wells are located on private lands, where state officials take the lead in ensuring they comply with environmental laws, with mixed results.

Nationwide, there were nearly 500,000 producing gas wells in 2012, according to Energy Information Administration data. More than 1,800 new wells were being drilled in March alone.

Dennis Willis, a former BLM field officer in Price, Utah, says he routinely provided input on oil leasing and drilling decisions on federal land before his retirement in 2009. He described a situation of chronic underfunding dating to at least the early 2000s, when BLM management made clear that issuing new permits would be a priority over other tasks, according to a 2002 memorandum from supervisors in Utah to field officers. At the time, fracking was becoming more widely used.

Wendy Davis going beyond Texas for campaign bucks AUSTIN (AP) — Hollywood loves stars and loves an underdog, and Democrat Wendy Davis is both.

At a recent rooftop fundraiser hosted

by Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg at the Bad Robot film studios near Los Angeles, she socked away more money for what could be a financially record-shattering race for Texas governor.

Likewise, in Manhattan brownstones, Silicon Valley mansions and Washington hotels, Davis has told her compelling personal story of rising from a trailer park to Harvard Law and reeled in donors. She now has financial backers in every U.S. state and has collected nearly four times as much — at least $3.6 million — from outside Texas as her opponent, Republican Greg Abbott.

The Fort Worth state lawmaker’s feats as a fundraising dynamo since her nearly 13-hour filibuster over new Texas abortion restrictions a year ago have put her in a stronger financial position than any recent Democratic candidate for Texas governor, raising the likelihood she’ll be able to afford the barrage of airtime needed to compete in a state with two time zones and 20 media markets.

“Texas is a huge state,” said Kristin Oblander, a national Democratic fundraiser who helped host a Davis luncheon in Atlanta. She added, “The budgets for these races are immense, and the pressure for fundraising is huge.”

But Republicans are beginning to make an issue of her out-of-state money, and it’s not clear whether the cash will be enough to help her close the gap in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office in 20 years.
