Colorado legislature considers monitoring of Islamic students
DENVER — The Senate gave tentative approval to a bill Tuesday that would require state-supported colleges to pay special attention to the visa status of students from countries with links to Islamic terrorism.
Sen. John Andrews (R-Centennial) said Islamic terrorists were responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and are a proven threat.
"We should prioritize a list of countries with demonstrated susceptibility to the virus of Islamic terrorism," Andrews told the Senate.
Federal law already requires colleges to verify the visa status of all students. Senate Bill 322 would force colleges to pay special attention to students from Islamic countries.
The Senate approved the bill on a voice vote. It faces a third reading before being sent to the House.
Sen. Ron Tupa (D-Boulder) said the measure discriminated against Islamic countries, ignoring other countries linked to terrorism such as North Korea and non-Islamic countries such as India with substantial Islamic populations.
"This is just a statement. It's a political statement, it's a bad statement," Tupa said.
Worms from shuttle Columbia found alive among debris
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Hundreds of worms being used in a science experiment aboard the space shuttle Columbia have been found alive in the wreckage, NASA said yesterday.
The worms, known as C. elegans,
were found in debris in Texas several
weeks ago. Technicians sorting through the debris at Kennedy Space Center in Florida didn't open the containers of worms and dead moss cells until this week.
All seven astronauts were killed when the shuttle disintegrated over Texas on Feb.1. Columbia contained almost 60 scientific investigations.
"To my knowledge, these are the only live experiments that have been located and identified," said Bruce Buckingham, a NASA representative at the Kennedy Space Center.
The worms and moss were in the same nine-pound locker located in the mid-deck of the space shuttle. The worms were placed in six canisters, each holding eight petri dishes.
The worms, which are about the size of the tip of a pencil, were part of an experiment testing a new synthetic nutrient solution. The worms, which have a life cycle of between seven and 10 days, were four or five generations old, Buckingham said.
Judge to rule on trial fate of accused Martin murders
WORLD
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — A Costa Rican judge was expected to rule tomorrow on whether there was enough evidence for three suspects to stand trial for the fatal 2001 stabbing of a University of Kansas biology student.
She was stabbed to death around midnight on May 13,2001, while walking from a bar to her host family's home in the town of Golfito in southern Costa Rica.
Last month, prosecutors charged Kattia Cruz, 28, 48-year-old Rafael Zumbado Quesada and Luis Carrillo Castro, 38, with Martin's killing.
Shannon Martin, 23, came to Costa Rica in 2000 as part of a study abroad program and returned one week before she was to graduate to gather more specimens of a tree-dwelling fern she was researching.
On Tuesday, Judge Daniel Moran presided over a preliminary hearing with the defendants, their lawyers and Edrick Martinez, the prosecutor in charge of presenting the state's case against the defendants.
