In doing so, they are follow- ing in the steps of the University of Maryland, Kent State Univer- sity and Wayne State University, all of which have recently grant- ed extended powers to their campus police, namely for the purpose of relieving an overburdened city police department. David Martin, a criminal jus- tice researcher at Wayne State, told the Hatchet that city police departments can often use the help of university police forc- es, and the trend of expanding jurisdictions may continue. "Policing is certainly headed in this direction, as communi- cations and technology have improved greatly," he said.

Daniel Blumstein, the direc- tor of the program, said evo- lutionary medicine tries to take a step back to analyze the evolutionary history of a pathogen or disorder. Modern medicine often focuses on fixing the immediate problems caused by a disease. The minor involves a large amount of interdisciplinary study, ranging from sociology to neuroscience, and will poten- tially be open to most students. -SHOHAMGEVA THREE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW TODAY Psychiatric drugs are being prescribed less to young children, Al Jazeera America reported.

He said "new points of con- tact" can be established, but only if Washington ends such activity. Maduro's tough talk came a day after he announced the expulsion of the top U.S. dip- lomat in Venezuela, Charge d'Affaires Kelly Keiderling, and two other embassy officials, alleging they conspired with "the extreme right" to sabotage the economy and power grid. The United States again on Tuesday rejected the allegations that it is tryingto destabilize this South American nation. State Department spokes- woman Jen Psaki said Ven- ezuela's government delivered a diplomatic note to the U.S. Embassy in Caracas on Monday night that said it had declared the U.S. charge d'affaires, the political officer and the con- sular officer personas non grata. She said the three were given 48 hours to leave Ven- ezuela. Psaki said the U.S. might take reciprocal action in accordance with the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations and on con- sular relations but was still con- sidering what action to take. She said the allegations were related to the U.S. Embassy workers' travel to Bolivar state, which is home to troubled state- owned foundries and Venezu- ela's main hydroelectric plant. "They were there conduct- ing normal diplomatic engage- ment,. as we've said in the past and should come as no surprise," Psaki said. "We, of course, maintain reg- ular contacts across the Venezu- elan political spectrum. And we maintain a broad perspective on Venezuela and travel frequently, of course. That's what diplomats do. So there was nothing out of the ordinary about that. And that was part of their accusations," she said. Expelled with Keiderling, the top embassy official in the absence of an ambassador, were consular officer David Moo and Elizabeth Hoffman, who works in the embassy's political sec- tion. Speaking Tuesday from the government palace, Maduro said that "while the government of the United States does notunder- stand that it has to respect our country's sovereignty there will be simply be no cordial relations nor cordial communication." "The day that the government of President (Barack) Obama rectifies the situation we will establish new points of contact Exceptional resources required for upkeep of Rikers NEW YORK (AP) - New York is indeed an expensive place, but experts say that alone doesn't explain a recent report that found the city's annual cost per inmate was $167,731 last year - nearly as much as it costs to pay for four years of tuition at an Ivy League university. They say a big part of it is due to New York's most notorious lockup, Rikers Island, and the costs that go along with staffing, maintaining and securing a facil- ity that is literally an island unto itself "Other cities don't have Rik- ers Island," said Martin F. Horn, who in 2009 resigned as the city's correction commissioner, notingthat hundreds of millions of dollars are spent a year to run the 400-acre island in the East River next to the runways of LaGuardia Airport that has 10 jail facilities, thousands of staff and its ownpower plant and bak- ery. The city'stIndependent Budget Office annual figure of $167,731- which equates to about $460 per day for the 12,287 average daily New York City inmates last year - was based on about $2 billion in total operating expenses for the Department of Correction, which included salaries and benefits for staff, judgments and claims as well as debt service for jail construction and repairs. But there are particularly expensive costs associated with Rikers. The departmentsays it spends $30.3 million annually alone on transportation costs, run- ning three bus services that usher inmates to and from court throughout the five boroughs, staff from a central parking lot to Rikers jails and visitors to and around the island. There were 261,158 inmates delivered to court last year. Awaytobringdownthe costs, Horn has long said, would be to replace Rikers Island with more robust jails next door to court- houses. But his .attempts to do that failed in part because of political opposition from resi- dential areas near courthouses in Brooklyn, Manhattan and elsewhere. "My point is: Have you seen a whole lot of outcry on this? Why doesn't anything happen?" Horn said of the $167,731 annual figure. "Because nobody cares." "That's the reason we have RikersIsland,"he said."We want these guys put awayout of public view." New York's annual costs dwarf the annual per-inmate costs in other big cities. Los Angeles spent $128.94 a day, or 4 $47,063 a year, for17,400 inmates in fiscal year 2011-12, its sheriff's office said. Chicago spent $145 a day, or $52,925 a year, for 13,200 inmates in 2010. Those costs included debt-ser- vice and fringe benefits. I to discuss common issues," said EMaduro, the hand-picked suc- cessor to late President Hugo Chavez.

BP executives defend spill response Testified in trial they avoided making the crisis even worse NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A BP executive who led the company's efforts to halt its massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico testified Tuesday that his decisions were guided by the principle that they shouldn't do anything that could make the crisis even worse. . James Dupree, BP's first witness for the second phase of a trial over the deadly disaster, said his teams worked simultaneously on several strategies for killing the well that blew out in April 2010. Dupree said the company scrapped plans to employ a capping strategy in mid- May because the equipment wasn't ready. He also said he was concerned that it could jeopardize other efforts to seal the well. "We were very intent not to make the situation worse," said Dupree, who was promoted to BP's regional president for the Gulf of Mexico after the spill was stopped. Dupree is scheduled to resume his testimony Wednesday. BP's trial adversaries have argued that the company could have stopped the spill much earlier than July 15 if it had used the capping strategy. Earlier Tuesday, an employee of the company that owned the doomed Deepwater Horizon drilling rig testified that he was surprised when BP scrapped the capping strategy his teamhad devised and never heard an explanation for the decision. "We were so close. We had come a long way," said Robert Turlak, Transocean's manager of subsea engineering and well control systems. During the first few weeks after the spill, engineers focused on two methods for stopping the flow of oil: Capping the well was one option. The other, called "top kill," involved pumping drilling mud and other material into the Deepwater Horizon rig's blowout preventer. BP ultimately used a capping stack to stop the spill July 15 after several other methods failed. Turlak's team was working on a strategy that was called "BOP-on-BOP" because it lowered a second blowout preventer on top of the rig's failed one. He called it the "obvious solution" and said it was ready for installation in early June. #I A t
