Texas retail gasoline prices go up 2 cents this week IRVING (AP) — Retail gasoline prices have risen 2 cents this week across Texas.

AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price at the pump reached $3.52 per gallon.

Nationwide retail gas prices rose a penny, to hit $3.68 this week.

The association says Dallas has the highest gas price statewide at $3.58 per gallon. Drivers in Corpus Christi have the cheapest gasoline in Texas at $3.42 per gallon.

AAA says concerns over violence in the Middle East has contributed to an increase in global oil prices.

As for upcoming Independence Day, the group predicts 3 million Texans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, with most taking trips by automobile.

The AAA travel period is defined as July 2 through July 6.

Thousands in US turn out to watch match

Tech hosts watch party for students

Jose Arriaga has run out of excuses for missing work to watch the U.S. men’s soccer team in the World Cup. The births of his children, deaths of relatives and those pre-World Cup friendlies — all have eaten up his personal days. But after watching the Americans advance to the knockout round despite a 1-0 loss to Germany on Thursday, Arriaga is ready to bargain for a few more hours when the U.S. resumes play next week.

“If we would have lost and gotten knocked out, I would have second-guessed missing out on work,” said Arriaga, a 28-year-old who put off mortgage work for a watch party in Dallas.

“But we advanced and I can’t miss that. I think I made the right decision.”

Tens of thousands of eager Americans like Arriaga set work aside to watch the game — with or without their bosses’ OK. Many more watched online as they could. ESPN tweeted that its online streaming application set a record with 1.4 million users during the first half, leading to limited issues the company blamed on “unprecedented demand.”

The match kicked off at noon Eastern time, right in the middle of the work day for many, but that didn’t stop crowds from filling bars and restaurants from Orlando, Florida, to Seattle and many points in between. The biggest turnouts were at watch parties in places like Chicago’s Grant Park, Dupont Circle in Washington and Bryant Park in New York.

The nail-biting lasted a full two hours, and most fans were stayed until the final whistle to make sure the Americans had advanced, thanks to goal differentials and the other early match of the day, a 2-1 Portugal victory over Ghana.

Texas Tech hosted a watch party for the United States World Cup soccer game against Germany at 11 a.m. Thursday in the Allen Theatre in the Student Union building.

For the incoming freshman, this was a glimpse into what the SUB will offer during their next four years.

Danielle Hardin, a junior exercise and sport sciences major, said it was nice students had the opportunity to watch the game during orientation.

She said usually orientation leaders are just able to talk about all the SUB offers, but today incoming freshmen were able to experience it.

Matthew Mcenaney, an incoming freshman from Dallas, said he was excited when he heard he would be able to watch the game in the Allen Theatre in the SUB. “I was really wanting to watch this game because it will define whether the US goes to the Round of 16 or not,” he said. “If they win or they tie they will move into the Round of 16 which is a single elimination bracket. If they lose, they have to lose big and Portugal has to win big in order for Portugal to win instead of the U.S. So right now, the U.S. is sitting in the best seat they can be.”

Renovations are taking place at The Market at Stangel/Murdough Residence Hall this summer and will be ready for students to use in the fall of 2014.

The new Market will be updated, Alan Cushman, manager of business development for Texas Tech Hospitality Services, said, and will feature new food concepts, as well as keeping older, more popular concepts.

“With the growing demand of the university and the increased student population, Hospitality Services decided to renovate The Market to better serve ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

the campus community,” he said. “The Market was last renovated in 1997 from a traditional location into one of Texas Tech’s first food courts. The population of this location, along with the students’ desire for more cutting edge food venues led to The Market being renovated.”

This renovation will introduce two new dining brands to campus; Fazoli’s and Day Break Coffee, he said.

The Fazoli’s on campus will be the first on-campus unit as part of its plan to branch out to other non-traditional locations in addition to its already existing 220 locations, according to a news release.

As of the 15th day of classes, or reporting day, Texas Tech has broken a summer enrollment record with 11,605 students currently enrolled.

June 24 was the reporting day for this summer, according to a Tech news release.

The new record replaces one set in 2012, according to the release, that reported 11,316 students enrolled at the university.

Since the fall semester of 2008, enrollment at Tech has steadily risen and record enrollment numbers have been recorded for the past three consecutive years.

M. Duane Nellis, Tech president, according to the release, attributes the

recent success in enrollment figures to the university community.

“The increases in attendance the last several years can be attributed to an aggressive recruiting campaign by our admissions staff, our administration and faculty attending recruitment events, and our students and alumni sharing their experiences with friends and family at home,” Nellis said in the release. “Our success in attracting the top students across the state and beyond is a team effort, and I’m proud of the hard work everyone continues to exhibit on behalf of Texas Tech University.”

Texas Association Against Sexual Assault introduces app

By KAITLIN BAIN Staff Writer

The Texas Association Against Sexual Assault introduced Texas Safety University, an app to provide college students access to sexual assault resources earlier this month.

The app was developed by the TAASA, University of Texas Brownsville and Friendship of Women, Inc., according to a TAASA news release, and connects college students, faculty and staff with sexual assault victim assistance on campus.

dents at Tech, said she thinks this effort to inform students about reporting sexual violence and making resources available to them is helpful.

“The app also makes the Clery Annual Security Report, which includes campus crime statistics more accessible for students,” she said. “It also makes getting information about any university of college in the state of Texas easier.

The app is free, according to the release, and is available on iOS and Andriod platforms.

Annette Burrhus-Clay, TAASA executive director, said, according to the release, that this

spotlight in campus sexual assaults is encouraging.

“Making support for rape victims more accessible is just common sense,” she said.

The app, according to the release, includes access to crime data for 174 Texas universities and also provides users access to oncampus, local, state and national resources on sexual assault, dating violence and stalking.

Upperclassmen also were able to watch the game in a sitting area in the

SUB and on TVs in the library.

Hardin said she was glad the university had the watch parties and was excited to see all of the students who were watching and cheering on the U.S. team.

Cushman said he believes the remodeled Market will have a better flow that will allow students to get in and out of the venue quicker than the past set up.

The Market will still give students with a dining plan a 50 percent discount that has been offered in the past, he said, but will only get a 25 percent discount from Fazoli’s and Day Break Coffee, as they are non-standard campus brands.

resources available on campus and in the community.

“I support efforts that encourage dialogue about the difficult issues of sexual violence on college campuses,” she said. “This app can be one part of our campus’ larger efforts to prevent sexual violence.

In addition, free apps such as Texas Safety U help colleges and universities with limited resources by providing a product that can be easily adopted without the need for additional development.”

In the future, Murphy said she thinks it’s important to continue to use technology as a tool to prevent and educate

about sexual assault.

Tech has several online resources, she said, including HAVEN, an online education program that addresses sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking.

She also said Tech is finishing developing an a website to provide information to students about how to report sexual assault, resources and procedures related to sexual violence for Tech students’ use.

the board engaged in lawmaking,” the court wrote in a majority opinion. “... Its choices raise difficult, intricate and controversial issues of social policy.”

Indeed, debate over the soda size cap pitted health officials who called it an innovative anti-obesity tool against critics who considered it unfair to businesses and paternalistic toward consumers. Even a Court of Appeals judge, during arguments earlier this month, wondered aloud whether regulators would target triple-decker burgers next.

The American Beverage Association, which led the legal fight against the measure, welcomed Thursday’s ruling against a measure it said would have “limited New Yorkers’ freedom of choice.” Curbing obesity should start “with education — not laws and regulation,” spokesman Christopher Gindlesperger said.

But city leaders signaled they might not give up the fight. Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city was “actively reviewing all of its options to protect the health and wellbeing of our communities”; officials wouldn’t immediately specify what those might be. The city hasn’t said whether it plans to try to appeal, but the case doesn’t raise federal issues that would make it a likely choice for the Supreme Court.

City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said in a statement that the big-soda ban would get a hearing if it were brought up in the council. It’s unclear how any such measure might fare in a vote, as she and numerous other council members oppose it.

Hawaii at center of battle over aquarium fish members rammed Japanese whaling ships in Antarctica and hurled glass containers of acid at the vessels. A federal judge called them pirates.

Conflict over the aquarium fish industry shot into the limelight last month when Sea Shepherd activists wearing cameras approached two fish collectors working underwater in West Hawaii.

One collector swam to one of the activists and ripped her scuba air regulator out of her mouth. Both the fish collector and the activist filed complaints against each another. Prosecutors are reviewing evidence but haven’t decided whether to file charges.

Local activists have long pushed to shut down Hawaii’s aquarium trade.

Robert Wintner, the owner of the Hawaii dive shop chain Snorkel Bob’s and vice president of Sea Shepherd’s board, lobbied the state Legislature for years to ban aquarium fish collecting but the bills didn’t pass.

Wintner and others sued the state in 2012, saying environmental studies should be conducted before collection permits are issued. A state judge rejected the lawsuit, but the plaintiffs are appealing.

Medal of Honor recipient: This belongs to comrades CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Ryan Pitts will wear the nation’s highest award for combat valor, but the humble and soft-spoken Medal of Honor recipient who continued to fight after being wounded in one of Afghanistan’s bloodiest battles insisted Thursday that the medal belongs to

all of his comrades who fought and died that day.

Pitts, now a 28-year-old married father of one, will receive the medal next month at the White House.

The citation says Pitts fought off enemy fighters on July 13, 2008, in Wanat, Afghanistan. Despite losing blood from wounds in both legs and an arm, he continued to fire at about 200 Taliban fighters and guided air strikes that helped repel the attack. He also used a tactic known as “cooking off” grenades, pulling the pin and holding it longer than usual so the enemy couldn’t throw it back.

Pitts, who was raised in Mont Vernon and now lives in Nashua, started Thursday’s remarks at the National Guard Headquarters in Concord by reading the names of

the nine members of his platoon, who died in the attack.

“While it is an honor to have been nominated for the award, it is not mine alone,” he said. “The honor belongs to every man who fought at Vehicle Patrol Base Kahler, especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice that allowed the rest of us to return home.

I have an absolute responsibility to tell our story, because there are nine men who cannot and it is their names you should know.”

They are: Sergio Abad, Jonathan Ayers, Jason Bogar, Jonathan Brostrom, Israel Garcia, Jason Hovater, Matthew Phillips, Pruitt Rainey and Gunnar Zwilling.

“I take comfort somehow in the pain of that loss, because it reminds me that they meant something to me and I never want to forget that and I appreciate the sacrifice they made for us,” he said.

Pitts recalled the moment Garcia died.

“There wasn’t really anything we could do for him other than for me to give him the guarantee that I would come home and tell his wife and mother that he loved them and that he was thinking of them in his last moments,” he said.

Pitts kept his word.

said. “In one week they might not improve a lot, but they diffidently will improve.”

He said seven is a good starting age for children who want to be great at chess.

“Seven is a good age to learn, but I know adults that learn the chess rule and still are able to enjoy it and improve a little,” Onischuk said. “It is not like everyone has to be a professional player.”

President Obama aims to put human face on economic struggles MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — President Barack Obama, in an attempt to put a human face on the economic policies he and Democrats are championing, is spending a day with a Minneapolis mother who wrote the White House about her struggles to make ends meet.

The president on Thursday began a two-day visit to Minnesota, where he plans to take part in a town hall meeting before headlining a fundraiser for House Democrats in the evening. On Friday, Obama will highlight his push to increase the minimum wage during an economic speech at a waterside band shell.

But the centerpiece of the trip is the time Obama will spend with Rebekah Erler, 36, of St. Anthony, Minnesota. The accountant and mother of two preschool-age boys wrote to the president this spring about her family’s struggles after her husband’s construction business went under during the downturn in the housing market. Her note made its way into the pile of 10 letters from Americans that Obama reads each night.

Erler wrote about how her family moved from Seattle to Minneapolis, where her husband has held a number of difficult jobs before finally landing back in the remodeling

industry. She said she relied on student loans to attend a community college and is now working as an accountant. They were able to buy their first home last fall.

But despite their achievements and hard work, Erler wrote, they are still struggling with costs of raising a family, including student loan payments, groceries and child care.

Erler’s letter reflected a sentiment shared by others who have written to him, Obama said in a video message, that despite working hard and taking responsibility for themselves and their families, many Americans feel it’s harder than it should be to get ahead.

Former cop arrested after bodies found in suitcases

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — A former police officer has been arrested and is a suspect in the death of at least one of two women whose bodies were stuffed into suitcases and discarded on a rural southeastern Wisconsin highway, police said Thursday.

The 52-year-old security officer was arrested Wednesday on tentative charges of hiding a corpse.

The same day, detectives wearing hazmat suits removed large, brown bags of evidence and a refrigerator from the man’s apartment in West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb.

Highway workers discovered two suitcases containing female remains June 5 in the Town of Geneva, some 50 miles southwest of Milwaukee. Police identified one woman as Laura Simonson, 37, of Farmington, Minnesota. Authorities have yet to release the identity of the second woman but describe her as a white female with long dark hair, a pronounced overbite and a small heart tattoo on her lower left abdomen.

COREY WAX, A senior psychology major from Flower Mound, surveys an empty student Leisure Pool Thursday outside the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

“We don’t have a problem here anymore,” said Tina Owens of the local environmental group Lost Fish Coalition.

Scientists estimate the aquarium trade removes about 30 million fish from reefs around the world. Hawaii accounts for less than 2 percent, while more than 70 percent comes from Indonesia and the Philippines.

Some fishermen in these countries capture fish by pumping cyanide into the water to make fish sluggish and easier to catch. The chemical may also harm nearby marine life, as well as shorten the captured fish’s life span. In Hawaii, nets are used.

Local collectors may sell one yellow tang — the most commonly caught species on the Big Island’s west coast — for about $3 or $4.

With middlemen adding costs to store and ship them, the fish may retail for anywhere between $30 and $60.

Long said Sea Shepherd would take the campaign to Indonesia and the Philippines as well, but didn’t offer details.

The group is known for using aggressive tactics — even violence — to achieve its aims, as when its

SUMMER GAZING

HONOLULU (AP) — The waters off the Hawaii’s largest island are home to a half-million brightly-colored tropical fish that are scooped up into nets each year and flown across the globe into aquariums from Berlin to Boston.

Scientists say the aquarium fishery off the Big Island is among the best managed in the world, but it has nevertheless become the focus of a fight over whether it’s ever appropriate to remove fish from reefs for people to look at and enjoy.

Activists have launched a campaign to shut down the buying and selling of fish for aquariums, saying the practice from Hawaii to the Philippines is destroying coral reefs.

“In this day and age, where the ocean faces a crisis ... there’s absolutely no justification for a fishery for hobby,” said Mike Long of Seattle-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which is spearheading the campaign.

A coalition of fishermen, state regulators and even local environmentalists say the group should focus its attention elsewhere, noting comprehensive aquarium fishery regulations and scientific research that shows fish stocks there are rebounding.

Sgt. Lee Hollatz told The Associated Press that the arrested man has been his “No. 1 person, by far, of interest” in Simonson’s disappearance.

The man is scheduled to appear in court Friday afternoon in Wisconsin.

Police in Rochester, Minnesota, said during a news conference Thursday that they believe Simonson was killed in a Rochester hotel in early November. She checked into the Microtel Inn and Suites with the security officer on Nov. 2, and the man checked out alone the next day, Capt. John Sherwin said.

A woman who answered the phone at the hotel said employees had been told not to talk to the media. Rochester is more than 300 miles northwest of Milwaukee.

Police have not revealed information about where the second victim was killed.

Hollatz said Simonson’s family reported her missing Nov. 22, and he learned soon after that she had been taken to the Rochester hotel by a man he identified early on as

the former police officer. But Hollatz said all he had was a missing person’s case until the bodies were discovered. He said Simonson was identified within a day by her tattoos.

“I saw Laura as a vulnerable adult because of things in her life that she was dealing with,” Hollatz said.

Simonson’s father, Richard Wierson, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that his daughter had placed escort ads on CraigsList.

Wierson said she had struggled with mental illness since adolescence, and that her seven children were placed in foster care with him in 2010.

The suspect is a licensed private security officer who has worked for Securitas Security Services USA since 2007, according to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. Securitas spokeswoman Lynne Glovka said the company did a background check when he was hired and she was not aware of any problems while he worked there.

Police ready to abide by court’s cellphone ruling LOS ANGELES (AP) — Officers are being briefed during roll calls, new procedures are in place, and prosecutors are considering the effect on potentially thousands of pending court cases after the Supreme Court’s ruling that restricts police searches of cellphones.

From Los Angeles to New York, and in San Diego, Chicago and Houston, officials met to discuss Wednesday’s unanimous ruling that could make it harder for officers to quickly find incriminating evidence. The ruling prohibits law enforcement from searching an arrestee’s cellphone without a warrant unless a person’s safety or life may be in danger.

Because cellphone technology has so rapidly advanced over the last decade, more information than ever before — including personal

documents, photos and emails — is now stored on these devices. For investigators, they can be a treasure trove of suspects’ pictures with fellow gang members, not to mention text messages and call records that help police find accomplices or victims.

Few, if any, in law enforcement circles were surprised by the high court’s ruling, and they said many cautious investigators were already getting warrants to ensure evidence doesn’t get tossed out of trials. But they also universally acknowledged that it would make their jobs more difficult, especially for the rankand-file patrol officer.

“It’s going to be more cumbersome, it’s going to take more work, it’s going to take more time,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Kent Wegener, of the Major Crimes

Bureau. Wegener said his investigators routinely seek search warrants for their cases.

In Houston, prosecutors were already treating cellphones as personal property with privacy rights and advising police officers that if they weren’t given permission, they’d need a search warrant to access the devices, said Bill Exley, a prosecutor in the Harris County district attorney’s office.

The Constitution’s Fourth Amendment requires police generally to have a judge sign a warrant that’s based on “probable cause,” or evidence that a crime has been committed. But cellphones have been treated like any other item in an arrestee’s possession, meaning they could be examined to ensure the officer’s safety and prevent the destruction of evidence.

NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) — The U.S. government is preparing to open a new facility in rural New Mexico to hold hundreds of unaccompanied children arriving from Central America as state officials call on federal authorities to do more to stop the migration.

“Dang it, the federal government has got a job to do,” Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Wednesday in Nogales, where she toured a southern Arizona facility housing nearly 1,000 children apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The surge of border crossings has strained the limits of existing resources, prompting the Republican governor to renew her criticism of the Obama administration’s immigration policies.

Brewer said states have no authority in addressing the matter, referring to a federal lawsuit against Arizona over its sweeping immigration bill known as SB1070.

Thousands of families and unaccompanied children have been coming to the U.S. in recent months as they flee violence, killings and extortion from criminal gangs in Guatemala, El Salvador

and Honduras. Many are under the impression they will receive leniency from U.S. authorities, despite coming to the country illegally.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who was with Brewer during the walkthrough in Nogales, attempted to knock down that perception.

“I want to continue to emphasize to all those who are listening, including the parents of kids, parents that may be considering sending their kid from Central America, that this journey is a dangerous one and at the end of it there is no free pass, there is no ‘permisos’ for your children to come to the United States,” Johnson said.

About 900 children are being held in the Nogales center where while undergoing removal proceedings. They’re often reunited with family in the U.S. before immigration court cases play out.

Johnson said they have adequate care.

“I have to say that the kids, while this is not an ideal situation, look as if they’re being well-taken care of under the circumstance,”

he said.

Border Patrol agents have apprehended more than 52,000 immigrant children crossing the border alone since the start of the budget year in October. That included 9,000 in May. Most have been picked up in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, which has run out of space and resources to process the children.

The surge in crossings has prompted the Department of Homeland Security to fly many of those kids to Arizona for processing. The department is also using military bases in Texas, California and Oklahoma.

Immigration officials have released a large number of women with children who crossed the border illegally into Texas, dropping them off at bus stations in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, with the expectation that they will report back within 15 days. Officials have declined to answer how many have actually done so.

Facilities in Artesia, New Mexico, where the Border Patrol training academy is located, and Tucson are being set

up to house immigrants.

The Border Patrol was scheduled to provide tours Thursday of the Artesia facility, which is expected to hold around 700 people while they are processed for deportation.

New Mexico state Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell and other elected officials from the southeastern part of the state already have toured Artesia’s Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. Ezzell said the rooms being prepared to house women and children are packed with amenities and will encourage rather than deter the flood of immigration.

“I saw the rooms, and I got upset,” Ezzell told the Artesia Daily Press. “There were four sets of bunks in every room. These were nice rooms, with televisions, toys and books. It says to immigrants, ‘Why not try to come back, if this is what America has to offer?’”

Ezzell questioned the use of federal dollars to house the immigrants at a time when veterans aren’t getting proper health care and she’s encouraging residents to speak out about the facility.

Lawsuit against Dodgers over Giants fan beating goes to jury LOS ANGELES (AP) — The lawsuit against the Los Angeles Dodgers and former owner Frank McCourt over the devastating beating of a San Francisco Giants fan is in the hands of the jury.

In the trial’s closing arguments Thursday, the attorney for braindamaged victim Bryan Stow asked for $37.2 million in actual damages and suggested doubling it to account for pain and suffering.

The defense argued that jurors should not find any liability and should not award any damages.

Attorney Dana Fox asserted that the blame lay with the two Dodgers fans who attacked Stow and with Stow himself. Fox cited Stow’s high blood-alcohol level and a witness account of Stow yelling in the Dodger Stadium parking lot before the assault.

Stow was attacked after the 2011 opening day game between the California rivals.

A lawyer for a San Francisco Giants fan who suffered brain damage in a beating at Dodger Stadium told a jury Thursday that the Los Angeles team failed its responsibility to keep fans safe.

Tom Girardi, an attorney for plaintiff Bryan Stow, made the claim in his closing argument at the negligence lawsuit against the Dodgers and former owner Frank McCourt.

“Do dger Stadium got to a place where it was total mess,” Girardi said. “There was a culture of violence. Beer sales were off the charts.”

The case was expected to be placed in hands of jurors for deliberations later in the day, following

closing arguments by the defense.

During the testimony phase of the trial, plaintiff’s lawyers called a parade of witnesses in a campaign to prove there wasn’t sufficient security when the California rivals played on opening day in 2011.

“The only thing Bryan Stow was doing was wearing a jersey that said ‘Giants,’” Girardi said in his argument.

The Dodgers and McCourt tried to show that the security staff was larger than ever and no one could have prevented the assault on Stow by two Dodgers fans.

Girardi said jurors must decide whether the Dodgers exercised reasonable care to protect fans, and he asserted that there should have been more uniformed police officers at the stadium.

Girardi also suggested that the

jury assign 100 percent of the fault to the team.

The closing arguments came a day after Stow, who was injured in a stadium parking lot, sat front and center in court.

Stow, 45, didn’t testify, but his appearance in a wheelchair showed jurors the ghastly scars on his head where his skull was temporarily removed during treatment.

Jurors also saw a brief video of the two men who went to prison for beating Stow. The defense claims Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, who pleaded guilty in the assault, were the only ones responsible for the beating.

Girardi said outside court Wednesday that the former paramedic has no memory of the events.

Girardi said he has had to explain to Stow why he is sitting in court.

Experts: Ruling tees up gay marriage for top court DENVER (AP) — When the U.S Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act exactly one year ago, it stopped

short of saying states cannot ban gay marriage.

But in a string of 17 straight rulings, judges have argued the high

court’s ruling in U.S. vs Windsor means just that: States cannot get in the way of gay couples who want to marry.

The most significant of those decisions came Wednesday when the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver became the first appellate court to weigh in post-Windsor and upheld a ruling that found Utah’s gay marriage ban was unconstitutional.

That decision increases pressure on the high court to make explicit what it did not say last year — that gay couples nationwide have a right to marry.

“This tees it up for possible Supreme Court review,” said William Eskridge, a law professor at Yale University. “When a federal appeals court strikes down a major state law, there is a lot more pressure for the justices to take that.”

Utah is considering an appeal to the Supreme Court, but there is no guarantee its case will be the one that makes it to the top court. Five other appellate courts are considering similar cases, and the Supreme Court could take any of those.
