At least 3 7 people were killed and more than 7 0 0 wounded in the deadliest attack on the city since the blitz in World War II. Londonerc respond to deadly attack.

Police said there had been no warning and that the blasts at three subway stations went off within 26 minutes, starting at 8:51 a.m. in an Underground train just outside the financial district. Authorities initially blamed a power surge but realized it was a terror attack after the bus bombing near the British Museum at 9:47 a.m. — less than an hour after the first explosion. Trapped passengers in the Underground railway threw themselves on the floor, some sobbing.

FRIDAY, JULY 8,2005 Final examinations for first-term courses, including three-hour law courses. No classes for nine-week and whole-session courses. By Paul Wentzell Daily Texan Staff One respected Austin resident still has his "mojo w orkin/" and he's celebrating in true bluesman fashion. Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins celebrated his 92nd birthday w ith a reception honoring the blues legend for his life-long contributions to music. The cel­ ebration featured presentations from Mayor Will Wynn, City M anager Toby Futrell and the Texas chapter of The Recording Academy. Wynn opened the reception Thursday by declaring July 7 as "Pinetop Day." Futrell honored Pinetop's birthday by temporari­ ly changing 5th Street to "Pinetop Perkins Way." The reception w as followed the by a performance Mississippi Delta's premier blues pianist at Antone's club Thursday evening. from Clifford Antone, founder of Antone's, said he was delight­ ed for Pinetop to be receiving such recognition. Antone, who is simultaneously celebrating the 30th anniversary of the club, said that this reception will help people to remember the "ever- waning blues greats." "Pinetop is a great musician and a great person," Antone said. "Honoring Pinetop is honoring the blues too." Pinetop received his nickname from blues great Clarence "Pine Top" Smith, a jazz pianist from Alabama whose "boogie woo- gie" style piano still resonates in Perkins' own blues arrange­ ments. Perkins' credits include record­ ing with blues artists such as Robert Nighthawk, Sonny Boy Williamson, B.B. King and Earl is perhaps best Hooker. He known for his collaboration with M uddy Waters, w ho selected Pinetop to replace Otis Spann as piano player for his legendary band during the 1970s. The highlight of the evening came as Wendy Morgan, executive director of the Texas chapter of The Recording Academy re-presented Pinetop with his peer-awarded lifetime achievement award. The presentation was accompanied with a video of the original pre­ sentation in Los Angeles, where Pinetop was honored along with greats such as Jerry Lee Lewis, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Janis Joplin. "This is a very prestigious aw ard, and we are proud to have Pinetop as a member of our comm unity," Morgan said. "We w ant to give The Recording Academy members of Texas an opportunity to con­ gratulate Pinetop personally for this recognition." Pinetop also received a new Yamaha electric piano at the reception — a gift from Strait Music, Yamaha and Clifford Antone. CORRECTION A story in Tuesday's Texan, “Report: Alcohol arrests up on college campuses," miscalculated the percentage increase in alcohol arrests. From 2003 to 2004, liquor-law arrests increased 122 percent, DWIs rose 175 percent and arrests for public intoxication grew 91.5 percent. The Texan regrets the error.

Czarek S o lo k o w isk i I A ssocia te d Press B la ir calls timing o f a ttacks ‘b a r b a r ic Bush vows ‘reso lv e’ By Tom Raum The Associated Press GLEN EA G LES, Scotland — World leaders rallied behind British Prim e M inister Tony Blair on Thursday in resolv­ ing to defeat terrorists after a series of deadly subw ay and bus attacks in London abruptly took over the agenda of the annu al m eeting of leading nations. Blair, host of the Group of Eight sum m it, rushed home to tend to the crisis. He returned hours later, in time for a w ork­ ing dinner and Friday's con­ cluding session. "W e w ill n ot allow violence to change our so cieties or our values nor w ill we allow it to stop the w ork of this su m m it," Blair said after the attacks. The flags of all nation s at the sum m it w ere low ered to half- staff. President Bush, in a series of secu re vid eo con feren ces with W ashington, directed U.S. hom eland and national secu ri­ ty officials to take extra precau­ tions. The United States later raised its terror alert to orange, or high, for the nation's mass transit system s. "T h e war on terror goes on," Bush told a hastily assem bled group of rep orters on the lawn of the G leneagles Hotel as B lair's helicopter lifted off behind him , head ed south toward London. Bush said the resolve of other sum m it partners in com batting terrorism "is as strong as my resolve. We w ill not yield to these people, w ill not yield to the terrorists." The sum m it briefly recessed so leaders could gather infor­ m ation on the attacks. Leaders also postponed until Friday planned declarations on cli­ m ate change and the global economy. The G -8 leaders, m any of w hom had differed sharply w ith Bush and Blair over the w ar in Iraq, came together in pledging solidarity. Germ an Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder called the bom bings "p erfid io u s attack s." French President Jacques Chirac said, "T h is scorn for human life is som ething we must fight with ever greater firm ness." Blair and other leaders said it w as clear the m orning rush- hour attacks that killed d oz­ ens and w ounded hundreds were timed to coincide with the opening business session of the sum m it. In a statem ent on b ehalf of all 13 participants — the United States, Britain, Japan, Germ any, France, Italy, Canada and Russia, plus the leaders of China, India, M exico, Brazil and South Africa — Blair said the attacks were "n ot an attack on one nation but on all nations and on civilized people every­ w h ere." B ritish Foreign Secretary Jack Straw , who tem p o rar­ ily replaced Blair as sum m it chairm an, said the attacks have the "hallm arks of an al-Q aida- related attack." Events in London quickly overshadow ed debate on the su m m it's issues: global w arm ing and increased aid to fight poverty in Africa. tw o m ajor Earlier, Bush and Blair met but could not bridge differenc­ es over clim ate change. Blair had w anted a strong sum m it statem ent setting specific tar­ gets for reductions in carbon dioxide and other pollutants believed to contribute to glob­ al warm ing. Bush argued for more flexibility, more joint sci­ entific research and for bringing developing nations like China into a new round of talks. "W e're not going to resolve every single issue at the G- 8 sum m it in relation to this," Blair said at a joint news con­ ference with Bush after break­ fast. Shortly after that, reports of the explosions started rolling in. "It's p articu larly barbaric that this-has happened on a day when people are m eeting to try to help the problem s of poverty in Africa, the long-term prob­ lems of clim ate change and the environm ent," Blair said later. W hite H ouse spokesm an Scott M cClellan said Bush was briefed in more detail by his chief of staff, Andrew Card, and national security ad vis­ er Stephen Hadley, and was updated throughout the day. C anadian Prim e M inister Paul M artin extended condo­ lences to the victim s. Russian President V ladim ir Putin said sp okesm an Alexei through Grom ov that "n o m atter where such inhum an crim es occur in London, New York, Moscow or other countries of the world — they dem and unconditional condem nation." Ita lia n P rem ier S ilv io B erlusconi blam ed "a band of fanatical crim inals" for the attacks. Liz Kirkham , spokeswom an for Tayside Police Force, which covers the G leneagles area, said no additional security precau­ tions were taken as a result of the blasts because substantial m easures already had been put in place for the summit. 3B Friday, July 8, 2005 E d m o n d T e re k o p ia n | A sso cia te d Press Injured people, leaving Edgware Road subw ay station after an explosion, walk to be treated at the London Hilton Metropole on Edgware Road on Thursday. London recalls 'Blitz spirit’ Londoners revert to pride, quiet defian ce fe lt during W W JJ By Jill Lawless The Associated Press LONDON — The prior­ ity in the morning was get­ ting in touch with loved ones — it seemed everyone had a cell phone in hand. By eve­ ning, maps replaced phones as thousands of Londoners tried to navigate routes home made unfamiliar by police roadblocks and shuttered subway stations. the Amid twisted metal and mangled bodies left by Thursday's devastating bomb attacks, Londoners took pride in their tradition of fortitude and quiet defiance. "A s Brits, we'll carry on — it doesn't scare us at all," said 37-year-old tour guide Michael Cahill. "Look, loads of people are walking down the streets. It's Great Britain — not called 'Great' for nothing." The worst attack on London since World War II brought out a strength and esprit de corps that recalled Britain under the blitz of German bombers. As W ednesday's jubilation at winning the 2012 Olympics gave way to the terrible shock of Thursday's attacks, Prime Minister Tony Blair made a televised appeal for unity and praised the "stoicism and resil­ ience of the British people." Both were in evidence across the city, as volunteers helped the walking wounded from blast sites, commuters loaned their phones so strangers could call home and thousands faced long queues for homeward-bound buses — or even longer walks — without complaint. "People are getting on with it," said taxi driver Steve Green. "It's marvelous that they're showing their backbone." C oordinated exp losions ripped through three subway trains and a double-decker bus during the morning rush hour, killing at least 37 people and injuring about 700. Blair said the blasts were almost certainly timed to coincide with the G-8 summit of world leaders under way in Gleneagles, Scotland. Londoners grew used to ter­ rorism during years of Irish Republican Army violence. But Thursday's attacks were the deadliest in the city since World War II. Many in the city demonstrat­ ed the resolute "Blitz spirit" that — at least in the popular imagi­ nation — prevailed through the worst days of German bomb­ ing. "People are more friendly," said office worker Eric Procter as he began a long journey home. "Before, you'd walk this way, and you w ouldn't get any smiles. People are helping each other. They're stopping for directions and getting pointed in the right direction." The streets were uncharac­ teristically calm around St. Paul's Cathedral, whose vast dome towering above clouds of black smoke became a sym ­ bol of British defiance of Nazi bombers. "I can't believe how quiet and calm the atmosphere is in the streets. People aren't panicking, they're just quietly walking," said Inga Gordon, visiting from Oslo, Norway. "It doesn't seem like they are in shock. They are just going about their busi­ ness." Som e Muslim Londoners expressed fear they would be targeted in revenge. "Everyone is subdued, and people are w ondering what has happened," said restaurant manager Karim Mohammed. "People are asking how will it affect us, are we going to be treated in a nice way after this?" there were no However, reports of revenge attacks Thursday. And while the major­ ity of Britons opposed their nation's participation in the U.S.-led war in Iraq, there were no immediate calls to pull out the troops. Com puter technician Matt Carter, 25, said he was struck by how the attacks had united Londoners. "It's amazing how people have stuck together. I've seen total strangers hugging each other and people coming out into the street with free cups of tea," he said. "We can't let the terrorists defeat us. We've got to show them they will never win." Bombing survivors describe horrors A forensic officer walks next to the w reckage of a double-decker bus with its top blown off and dam aged cars scattered on the road at Tavistock Square in cen­ tral London on Thursday. By Donna Bryson The Associated Press LONDON — The roof of the red double-decker bus flew 30 feet into the air. Flames shot down the side of one subway and train cars went dark after a loud bang. Trapped passengers threw themselves to the floor, smashed windows with umbrel­ las or wept in terror. The four coordinated explo­ sions hit London com muter routes in the middle of morning rush hour. In the aftermath, res­ cue workers, police and ordinary people streamed into blood- splattered streets to help. Buses ferried the wounded. Medics used a hotel as a hospital. Passengers emerged from the London Underground covered with blood and soot. "People were running every­ where and scream ing," said Gary Lewis, 32, who was evacu­ ated from King's Cross, where at least 22 people died. "The one haunting image was some­ one whose face was totally black and pouring with blood." Near central London's Russell Square, the b u s's mangled upper deck was open to the sky. Doctors from the nearby British Medical Association rushed out­ side to treat the wounded. "The most extreme thing I first noticed was that there was some­ one in bits in the road," said Dr. Laurence Buckman. "The front of BMA house was completely splattered with blood and not much of the bus w as left." Reporters and TV crews pressed against police tape at the scene. Behind them, pass­ ers-by held cell phones in the air to take pictures or video of the wreckage. Just a day before, London basked in the glory of winning the 2012 Olympic Games. An eerie quiet took hold in parts of the city. "There was an explosion and the flash of flames down the side of the train," said Derek Price, \ S a n d Tan A sso cia te d Press 55, who was on a subway near Liverpool Street station, close to one of the blasts. "It was all very quick — a loud bang happened in a matter of seconds." Emergency workers set up a medical command post in a Hilton hotel near Edgware Road subway station, scene of the third attack. A Swedish woman who was also riding toward Edgware said she heard the blast behind her train. "Everything went black, and people threw themselves to the floor in panic," Cornelia Berg told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet by phone. "The car quickly filled With smoke and a lot of people used their umbrellas to try to break the windows so that we could get air. A mother with her two small children sat next to me and cried desperately." W hen passengers the train, she said, they saw body parts scattered around the sta­ tion. left C l .

M cNam ara Daily Texan Staff A whispy cloud floats freely across a valley. In the distance, steam-powered sounds begin slowly to fade inward. Then, as if taken directly from the imagi­ nation, a castle with mechanical legs and gun turrets that's part machine and part tree scuttles into view. Instantly, what you're watching ceases to be a movie. The move­ ment and color are too vivid, tod beautiful to be fake. This is the beginn ing of " How 1 's Moving Castle," the latest film from Academy Award-winning animator Hayao Miyazaki. There is no build up, no anticipation, no wading through lesser ani­ mation to get to impressive end scenes. "H ow l's" exists as a clas­ sic example of the beauty of tradi­ tional animation in a time when com puter-generated fish and fractured fairytale creatures have become the norm. Sophie is a young woman working in a hattery left to her by her late parents. A bit of a shut in, Sophie s best form of social inter­ action is listening as her employ­ ees gossip about the alluring, but dangerous, magician Howl. It is when she meets the infamous magician that her life begins to change. The Wicked Witch of the Waste pays Sophie's hattery a visit, look­ ing for Howl and places Sophie under a curse, making her appear to be an elderly woman. Intent on breaking her curse, Sophie departs from her old life and quickly finds herself cleaning house in Howl's enchanted castle. For Howl, the castle serves as a safe place to escape to while being forced to fight against another kingdom in a war perpetuated by his king — a war Howl would prefer not to be involved in. Much like "Spirited Away," "H ow l's Moving Castle" is char­ acter-driven rather than overly complicated with plot elements. The war and Sophie's quest to regain her youth are merely cata­ lysts for the journey that Sophie and the rest of the film's char­ acters take to learn more about themselves. Thanks to Sophie, Howl chang­ es from an overly confident, vain persona to an honest person who understands that protecting his loved ones is worth fighting for. As he changes, Miyazaki drops hints to the audience such as an accidental hair-dyeing fiasco and subtle, kind actions in regard to Sophie and his wards Markl and Calcifer, a fire demon. Sophie slowly regains her youth as she opens up to Howl and the pos­ sibility that he could have feel­ ings for her. Yet, her change is so patient in its execution that it's hard to notice until halfway through the film. Finishing the film and seeing what these characters become leaves viewers with several possi­ ble meanings. Perhaps "H ow l's" is about how human beings show their inner strength when they find a connection worth hold­ ing on to. Perhaps the characters' abilities to find love in unlikely circumstances is closer to the film's intention. What is absolutely unques­ tionable is the wonderful exe­ cution of the film itself. Every nuance of each scene and char­ acter speaks of a well-thought- out pre-production process. Each frame could easily be captured and hung on a wall as a work of art. The characters exhibit multi­ faceted personalities rather than participating in two-dimensional behavior. Calcifer for example, is both a powerful demon capable of powering the entire castle and a helpless creature dependent on others for fuel and stoking. inner beauty all Sonically, Joe Hisaishi returns with a soundtrack that not only fits the film, but radiates with an its own. "The Merry-go-round of Life," the film's main theme, is reintro­ duced several times, without the slightest hint of monotony. "H ow l's" one weakness is in its plot elements surrounding the character development that the film is centered around. A key character's sudden transforma­ tion at the end of the film is unex­ pected to the point of random­ ness. Though his change ends the plot and affords the protagonists a happy ending, it is simply pack­ aged too neatly in this otherwise subtle film. themselves with But Miyazaki fans and inter­ ested m oviegoers should not concern this minor detail. From its magical beginning to its finale, "H ow l's Moving Castle" is a work of art committed to film, sure to evoke amazement in all of us. D e a r S 9 might look and sound like a dozen oth er romantic c om edy animes, but it also offers something unique in order to satisfy every taste Photos courtesy of Buena Vista Entertainment W hen an evil witch casts a spell on teenage Sophie (bottom, pictured with mysterious magician Howl), turning her into a 90-year-old wom an, her efforts to break the curse lead her to the m oving castle. survived Inside, an army of extraterrestrial creatures that look exactly like hyper-idealized women called the crash. "D earS" Without a way to return home (or so they claim) the DearS decide to seek Japanese citizenship and quickly acclimate them selves to Japanese culture. Yet, many Japanese are reluctant to trust these invaders, including a high- school student named Takeya. Specifically because of a Japanese w riter's inability to use irony, Takeya winds up finding a DearS and taking her home. Hilarity ensues, but none of that matters. The simple fact is, "D earS vol­ ume 1: First Contact," is a repack­ aging of several romantic com­ edy cult classics. Most recently, it was called "Chobits." Before that, it was known as "Love Hina." In the 80s, anime fans called it "Tenchi Muyo.' For those anime fans who find themselves bored during the hot summer months, feel free to pass time with this experiment: Find a friend who has seen any of the romantic comedy anime men­ tioned above. Now, tell this friend that you're considering watching a new romantic comedy anime called "D earS." Now, (and this is the important part) ask them what it's about without giving them additional clues. Chances are, they'll be able to describe the plot, characters and gags like they were spouting off items on a grocery list. The cat girl? She's there, and she constantly says "n i." Rivals? You betcha. Both protagonists have matching rivals in opposite color designs, of course. Over­ sexed teacher who constantly encourages her pupils to engage . i i • . . i . . lewd conduct without bat­ ting an eye? Oh yeah. Reluctant romantic interest on the part of the protagonist that only fully blooms when he nearly loses the love interest in some rushed dra­ matic poppycock toward the end of the series? Well, not yet, but the fact that it's coming is obvious from miles away. But the shocking aspect of "D earS" is the fact that even knowing how cliched the charac­ ters and situations are, it's still a joy to watch. Like a sadistic yet unbearably cute puppy that gnaws at your limbs with reckless abandon while giving you "the cute face," "D earS" unjustifiably demands your attention. Interesting camera angles and beautiful background art create an idealized yet believable Tokyo backdrop. The characters them­ I J _____ ________________ selves are drawn flawlessly with the exception of the male protag­ onists on occasion. It's clear that much more time was devoted to making sure the female char­ acter's details and curves were picture perfect. While the soundtrack isn't exactly fodder for a great CD collection, it fits the atmosphere of the animation in an appro­ priate but hardly noticable way. Watching the DVD in Japanese with subtitles is a sure way to enjoy quality vocal work. The English dub is tolerable, but doesn't fit the characters' person­ alities very well. There's something to appeal to every taste in "D earS," and that may be part of the prob­ lem. Rather than sticking with one creative vision, it is clear that "D earS"' creators wanted an anime that would draw crowds i-L from across the board. r K /v T rn As a result, this anime is full of fan service juxtaposed with overly cute imagery and roman­ tic intrigue opposite sophomoric hijinks. Rent it, watch it and tell your "C hobits" lovin' friends if they were right.

Now put some vanilla extract in the water and splish it around a little. Be sure to get some on the floor. That's "Dark Water." From the guy who fronted the cash for "The Ring" comes a mys­ tery that shouldn't be solved. Or even spoken of. Imagine a horror flick with no blood, a body count of two and a ghost that is just a normal-look­ ing little girl. That's all you get. "D ark Water" centers on a newly divorced mother trying to raise her elementary-aged daughter in New York City away from her emotionally abusive ex-husband. Her daughter, Ceci, befriends a dead girl who pos­ sesses the apartment above hers, which causes a leak to form in the ceiling. "W ater" never quite establishes what is supposed to be scary about this environment. The characters spend a lot of time away from the apartment that doesn't seem haunted at all. Even while in the upstairs apartment where all the dark water is com­ ing from, the most frightening thing is simply the environmental consequences of keeping the fau­ cets on. Viewers who are looking for something to scare them aren't given anything to latch on to. If a director is trying to be crafty in making a horror film, the trend is to tone down the gore in favor of more psychological nuance. But even the high-brow horror film "The Ring" had enough blood to make the audience scared of whatever is causing the people to bleed so much. From what I could tell, there was nary a drop of blood in the motion picture. Maybe the Piggly Wiggly next to the studio lot was fresh out of com syrup and other fake blood makirts', and they had to change the title from "Bloody Water," to "The Bloodiest Water We Could / ^ « alaxv GALAXY® HIGHLAND STADIUM 10 “ ,_35 & m i d d l e FISKVILLE RD • 512-467-7305 All New Stadium Seating!

Frightening haunted children are a new favorite motif of the horror film genre. "D ark Water" tries its best to creep the audience out with Ceci only to fall flat on its face. Example: Ceci has gone to bed while Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly is on the phone complaining to her friend about the poor conditions of the apart­ ment. Ceci begins singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," and, suddenly, a ghostly off-screen creepy kid joins in. "A nd then what happens?" you might ask. Nothing. The next shot is the following day when she goes to school. No possession. No level-three free-roaming, vaporous, full-torso apparitions. Nothing. There is never any motivation for the dead girl to really mess things up for the living. Oscar golden-girl Connelly and her daughter never desecrate any rel­ ics or invade any spaces impor­ tant to the dead girl. It is never really explained why this girl is specifically haunting this pair, or why exactly we should be fright­ ened of plain ol' dirty water. The water in the movie, that is a little darker than water usu­ ally is, does everything that you would expect dark water to do in real life. It ruins a load of laundry and causes a dark stain in the ceil­ ing. You go change your pants. I'll wait. R a fy | Touchstone Pictures Ariel Gade, left, and Jennifer Connolley star in the new horror film from the author of "The Ring," "Dark Water," as a mother and daughter w ho find themselves in the middle of a possibly haunted apartment and a poten­ tially dangerous situation. If you want to know what the movie is really about, I'll tell you: Real estate. The plot centers more on a young woman's desperate search for an affordable apartment locat­ ed near good schools and conve­ nient subway stops behind the backdrop of supernatural plumb­ ing problems. The real villain of the film is the apartment broker played by John C. Reilly. More than I dislike the deadbeat dad or fear the leaky ceiling, I detest the smooth sales­ manship that got us all into this narrative in the first place. If she hadn't taken the apartment, then I wouldn't have needed to see the rest of the film. Historically, in horror films there is covert social commentary. "The Exorcist" was really talking about child abuse (and brush­ ing your teeth). Some would say this movie portrays the difficulty of a modem single mother, cop­ ing with the obliteration of liv­ ing standards in a high-density metropolis. Great idea, but am idst the hackneyed attempt to scare peo­ ple, this exegesis is only puddle deep. Not even fit for a grackle to play in. While I can write about 900 words on how this movie is a poor excuse for a thriller, it was put most elegantly by the guy in the back comer of the the­ ater who, five minutes into the denouement, said, simply, "boo."
