Italian gay-rights activist Vladimir Luxuria detained at Olympic Park in Sochi SOCHI, Russia (AP) — An Italian activist shouting ''It's OK to be gay'' and dressed in a rainbow-colored outfit and large headdress was detained Monday as she entered an arena to watch an Olympic hockey game. Vladimir Luxuria, a former Communist lawmaker in the Italian parliament who has become a prominent transgender rights crusader and television personality, was stopped by four men and then driven away by police in a car with Olympic markings. Luxuria later told The Associated Press she was kept in the car for about 10 minutes, then released in the countryside after the men had taken away her Olympic spectator pass. She eventually made it back to her hotel and said she was leaving Russia on Tuesday morning. ''They don't say anything. They just were people who had to do this and they did it,'' Luxuria said. Earlier Monday, Luxuria walked around the Olympic Park in Sochi for about two hours. She was shouting ''Gay is OK'' and ''It's OK to be gay'' in both English and Russ- ian. Roof of South Korean resort collapses, killing 9 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The roof of a resort audi- torium collapsed during a welcoming ceremony for South Korean university freshmen, killing nine and likely trapping about 10, officials said Tuesday. The dead included seven students and an adult; officials weren't sure yet if the ninth victim was a student. About 80 people were sent to hospitals with minor injuries, according to officials at the state-run National Emergency Manage- ment Agency who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak to the media. Recent heavy snow, sleet and icy roads hampered rescue operations after the roof's collapse late Monday. Emergency staff worked to pry students from beneath twisted metal and rushed the injured on stretchers to waiting ambulances. Offi- cials initially estimated that 17 people were seriously injured but later said the injuries weren't severe. South Korean media reported that the heavy snowfall was believed to have resulted in the collapse, but the cause was still being investigated. About 560 students from Busan University of Foreign Studies had been scheduled to attend a two-day freshman orientation at the Manua Ocean Resort in the southeastern city of Gyeongju and were in the auditorium when the roof collapsed, the officials said. An official had earlier incorrect- ly said there were a total of 1,000 students at the resort. Saliva test may help predict which teenage boys will later develop depression LONDON (AP) — A saliva test for teenage boys with mild symptoms of depression could help identify those who will later develop major depression, a new study says. Researchers measured the stress hormone cortisol in teenage boys and found that ones with high levels coupled with mild depression symptoms were up to 14 times more likely to suffer clinical depression later in life than those with low or normal cortisol levels. The test was tried on teenage boys and girls, but found to be most effective with boys. About one in six people suffer from clinical depression at some point in their lives, and most mental health disorders start before age 24. There is currently no biological test to spot depression. "This is the emergence of a new way of looking at men- tal illness," Joe Herbert of the University of Cambridge and one of the study authors said at a news conference on Mon- day. "You don't have to rely simply on what the patient tells you, but what you can measure inside the patient," he said. Egypt: Sinai bombing seen likely to hurt key tourism CAIRO (AP) — A deadly suicide bombing that hit a bus of South Korean Christians visiting Biblical sites in Egypt and Israel has raised fears that Islamic militants battling security forces in the Sinai Peninsula are turning to target foreign tourists, a potential new blow to a struggling indus- try vital to Egypt's economy. Though it has proven resilient to past attacks, Egypt's slumping tourism is already suffering from three years of political turmoil that has scared away visitors. After hopes of a rebound, last year saw the fewest visitors yet since the 2011 uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak. The new attack could be even more damaging because it threatens a region that has kept Egypt's tourism alive even during the downturn — the beach resorts of the Red Sea in the Sinai Peninsula. Those resorts on Sinai's eastern and southern coasts, a favorite of divers and Europeans escaping the winter, had seemed a world away from the political unrest in the Nile Valley, and even from the wave of Islamic militant violence on Sinai's northern Mediterranean coast. Militants have waged a campaign of bombings and shootings targeting the military and police forces since the army ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last sum- mer. Their nascent insurgency began in northern Sinai, but has struck with increasing frequency in the capital Cairo and other cities. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Sun- day's bombing of the bus in Taba, a Red Sea resort on the border with Israel. But suicide bombings have become a hallmark of the al-Qaida-inspired militant groups operating elsewhere. Penn State trustees name Eric Barron president STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Eric Barron, a former professor and dean at Penn State University and president of Florida State University, was chosen Monday to lead Penn- sylvania's largest university as it continues grappling with fallout from the Jerry Sandusky scandal. He'll bring with him the experience of managing a major state university known as much for its for storied athletic program as its aca- demic mission, as well as the fallout from a sex-abuse scan- dal with ties to big-time college football. Penn State trustees unanimously approved the selection at a special meeting in State College after a 15-month search process in which university officials had kept the new presi- dent's identity secret, refusing to confirm whether Barron was even being considered until the meeting began. Barron previously worked at Penn State for 20 years. 5B Tuesday, February 18, 2014 – Daily News Landscape/Fence Steve's Tractor & Landscape Service • Fence Building • Landscaping • Trenching • Rototilling • Disking • Mowing • Ridging • Post Hole Digging • Blade Work • Sprinkler Installation • Concrete Work Cont.
