NEW DELHI (AP) ? The suffering of a university student and her male friend who were brutally attacked aboard a bus in India's capital did not end after the woman was gang-raped and both were savagely beaten for 2 1/2 hours. Dumped naked on a roadside, the pair encountered shocking apathy as passersby offered only cursory looks and police debated jurisdiction for 30 minutes before taking them to a hospital, where the man received no treatment as he sat without clothes on the floor for hours, the friend recounted in a television interview.
The interview Friday marked the first time the man, who has not been named, has spoken publicly about the Dec. 16 attack in New Delhi.
The attack has outraged Indians and led to calls for tougher rape laws and reforms of a police culture that often blames rape victims and refuses to file charges against accused attackers. The nation's top law enforcement official said the country needs to crack down on crimes against women with "an iron hand."
The 23-year-old woman died last weekend from massive internal injuries suffered during the attack. Authorities charged five men with her murder and rape and were holding a sixth suspect believed to be a juvenile. A hearing in the case was scheduled for Saturday.
On the night of the attack, the woman and her companion had just finished watching the movie "Life of Pi" at an upscale mall and were looking for a ride home. An autorickshaw driver declined to take them, so they boarded the private bus with the six assailants inside, the companion told the Indian network Zee TV.
Authorities have not named the man because of the sensitivity of the case. Zee TV also declined to give his name, although it did show his face during the interview. The man has a broken leg and was sitting in a wheelchair during the interview.
After a while, the men on the bus starting harassing and attacking the pair, he said.
"I gave a tough fight to three of them. I punched them hard. But then two others hit me with an iron rod," he said. The woman tried to call the police using her mobile phone, but the men took it away from her, he said. They then took her to the rear seats of the bus and raped her.
"The attack was so brutal I can't even tell you ... even animals don't behave like that," the man said.
Afterward, he overheard some of the attackers saying the woman was dead, he said.
The men then dumped their bleeding and naked bodies under an overpass. The woman's companion waved to passersby on bikes, in autorickshaws and in cars for help, but no one stopped. "They slowed down, looked at our naked bodies and left," he said.
"My friend was grievously injured and bleeding profusely," he said. "Cars, autos and bikes slowed down and sped away. I kept waving for help. The ones who stopped stared at us, discussing what could have happened. Nobody did anything."
After about 20 minutes, three police vans arrived, but the officers argued over who had jurisdiction over the crime as the man pleaded for clothes and an ambulance, he said.
Finally, he said, they were taken to a hospital.
"When we reached the hospital, I sat without clothes on the floor for a long time even as my friend was taken inside for treatment," he said.
The man said he was given no medical care. He then spent four days at the police station helping police investigate the crime. He said he visited his friend in the hospital, told her the attackers were arrested and promised to fight for her.
He said his friend was determined to see that the attackers were punished. "She gave all details of the crime to the magistrate ? things we can't even talk about," he said. "She told me that the culprits should be burnt alive."
The man said he gave the TV interview because he hopes it will encourage rape victims to come forward and speak about their ordeals without shame.
"She has awakened us all by her courage," he said of his friend, who died at a Singapore hospital after being flown there for treatment. "People should move ahead in the struggle to prevent a similar crime happening again as a tribute to her."
Most people in India are reluctant to get involved in police business because once they become witnesses, they can be dragged into legal cases that can go on for years. Also, Indian police are often seen less as protectors and more as harassers.
On Friday, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said crimes against women and marginalized sections of society are increasing, and it is the government's responsibility to stop them.
"This needs to be curbed by an iron hand," he told a conference of state officials from across India that was called to discuss how to protect women.
He called for changes in the law and the way police investigate cases so justice can be swiftly delivered. Many rape cases are bogged down in India's overburdened and sluggish court system for years.
"We need a reappraisal of the entire system," he said.
In the wake of the rape, several petitioners appealed to the Supreme Court to take an active role in the issue of women's safety.
On Friday, the court dismissed a petition asking it to suspend Indian lawmakers accused of crimes against women, saying it doesn't have jurisdiction, according to the Press Trust of India. The Association for Democratic Reforms, an organization that tracks officials' criminal records, said six state lawmakers are facing rape prosecutions and two national parliamentarians are facing charges of crimes against women that fall short of rape.
However, the court did agree to look into the widespread creation of more fast-track courts for accused rapists across the country.

A Press Service International voluntary Comment writer for Christian Today Australia
Friday, 4 January 2013, 7:09 (EST)
Sam Gillespie is a Press Service International voluntary Comment writer for Christian Today Australia I feel it?s safe to say that video games, as interactive entertainment, are here to stay. Even on my way into university last week I was greeted by an advertisement for an upcoming video game plastered on the side of a bus. Your local youth group probably hosts ?LAN parties? on a semi-regular basis too. Suffice to say, video games have well and truly broken into our contemporary popular culture. You?ve also probably noticed the questions on various topics as to society?s interaction with this interactive media. To help foster these discussions I?ve written down some musings on a selection of subjects.
Before I write any more I believe I should point out that I played my first game when I was three, according to my parents, and they?ll testify that I haven?t really stopped since. A case could be made for me growing up my entire life with video games. But with that confession out of the way may the musing begin.
Criticisms
?Computer games are a waste of time!? a common criticism that is often heard levelled at video gamers and, while it can be true in the same way that watching television or reading a book can become a waste of time, it often is symptomatic of some underlying prejudices. An example of a common notion is that since, video games exist in a virtual world, they are a form of escapism.
Some writers on the subject suggest that this is linked to the concept of the Internet being akin to a Wild West frontier and this being tied to the notion that computer screens are an interface, often implying barrier, to this frontier world. While this may have been a strong analogy a decade ago the frontier of the Internet has been quickly settled and ?civilised?.
Online games in today?s world of gaming often involve a player?s friends which they would still see in day-to-day life. So in many ways it is akin to the social aspect of children playing on a playground or friends in your sports team. From this perspective, within the realms of being a functional human and not being overly obsessed, computer games are a common and valid form of social interaction.
Something further which you may have noticed is how people who play the same games will often talk about them in the same way as two people would talk about a common sport or a movie they?d both seen. But here we may also find ourselves colliding with the feeling that video games our not equally valid when compared to activities we would commonly classify as sports or as artistic.
There are both arguments that support and discount this notion, so I feel it is outside the scope of my brief musings to expand on the discussion. What I?d like to convey is that it is important to be aware that this has crept into our perceptions of video games and not leap to judgemental assumptions on the validity of someone else?s chosen pass time.
Issues
The final quagmire I shall try and touch on is a subject that is broadly applicable to media in all its forms, including the purely artistic, but has been a hot topic for video games in particular. The question is often aimed at the genre known as First-person shooters, FPSs, gamers love their acronyms, as to whether their potentially over violent content is unnecessary?
Phrased alternatively, is the content of some games overindulgent for the subject matter being addressed and the messages being conveyed? Once again I would say that you could argue either way on a case by case basis however on this subject I feel it is, as a participant, your prerogative to do be discerning about the content you choose to engage with.
Just like any other form of media it?s not all for you. Furthermore just like any other form of media, ?But everyone else is doing it!? is not a valid reason to accept it or to be a part of it.
Please don?t read this the wrong way, there are plenty of popular games out there that involve little to no violence that people of all ages play and enjoy and there are some gritty, confronting games that handle their subject matter very well but I say the above as a word of common sense.
Well, there?s my musings, hopefully this helps continue these discussions in productive and reasoned direction as we continue to delve deeper into the realms of interactive entertainment.

Jan. 4, 2013 ? A person's style of speech -- not just the pitch of his or her voice -- may help determine whether the listener perceives the speaker to be male or female, according to a University of Colorado Boulder researcher who studied transgender people transitioning from female to male.
The way people pronounce their "s" sounds and the amount of resonance they use when speaking contributes to the perception of gender, according to Lal Zimman, whose findings are based on research he completed while earning his doctoral degree from CU-Boulder's linguistics department.
Zimman, who graduated in August, is presenting his research Jan. 5 at the annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in Boston.
"In the past, gender differences in the voice have been understood, primarily, as a biological difference," Zimman said. "I really wanted to look at the potential for other factors, other than how testosterone lowers the voice, to affect how a person's voice is perceived."
As part of the process of transitioning from female to male, participants in Zimman's study were treated with the hormone testosterone, which causes a number of physical changes including the lowering of a person's voice. Zimman was interested in whether the style of a person's speech had any impact on how low a voice needed to drop before it was perceived as male.
What he found was that a voice could have a higher pitch and still be perceived as male if the speaker pronounced "s" sounds in a lower frequency, which is achieved by moving the tongue farther away from the teeth.
"A high-frequency 's' has long been stereotypically associated with women's speech, as well as gay men's speech, yet there is no biological correlate to this association," said CU-Boulder linguistics and anthropology Associate Professor Kira Hall, who served as Zimman's doctoral adviser. "The project illustrates the socio-biological complexity of pitch: the designation of a voice as more masculine or more feminine is importantly influenced by other ideologically charged speech traits that are socially, not biologically, driven."
Vocal resonance also affected the perception of gender in Zimman's study. A deeper resonance -- which can be thought of as a voice that seems to be emanating from the chest instead of from the head -- is the result of both biology and practice. Resonance is lower for people whose larynx is deeper in their throats, but people learn to manipulate the position of their larynx when they're young, with male children pulling their larynxes down a little bit and female children pushing them up, Zimman said.
For his study, Zimman recorded the voices of 15 transgender men, all of whom live in the San Francisco Bay area. To determine the frequency of the "s" sounds each participant made, Zimman used software developed by fellow linguists. Then, to see how the "s" sounds affected perception, Zimman digitally manipulated the recording of each participant's voice, sliding the pitch from higher to lower, and asked a group of 10 listeners to identify the gender of the speaker. Using the recordings, Zimman was able to pinpoint how low each individual's voice had to drop before the majority of the group perceived the speaker to be male.
Zimman's work was funded in large part by the Wenner-Gren Foundation and is now being reviewed for publication.

In each issue of Distro, editor-in-chief Tim Stevens publishes a wrap-up of the week in news.
It's very nearly time, dear readers. CES is just a few days away. By the time you read this I'll be boots on the ground in Las Vegas, with nearly the entire Engadget team filtering in to Sin City through the weekend. The days ahead of the show will see us setting up our base of operations, the usual vinyl-wrapped double-wide trailer parked just outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center, from which we can dash to anywhere on the show floor and return quickly, getting the news up and into your browser within minutes.
In addition, like last year, we'll have a stage right on the show floor from which we'll be doing live interviews and demonstrations of the just-announced products, and if last year is any indication, we'll have some announcements being made right on the stage, too. And don't miss our video podcast from the show floor every night at 8PM PT. It should be an incredible week and, if that weren't enough, I'm headed straight to Detroit afterward for the North American International Auto Show to dig for some news on techy autos. Nothing like back-to-back show floor insanity.

Did you create any reading goals for 2013?
Making resolutions about reading seems rather unnecessary for me considering I want to read All The Books anyway. There is no way I would not read, so it seems sort of silly to make a resolution about something that will happen anyhow. Sort of like resolving to stop eating lima beans when I don?t eat them ever.
But I did develop some goals to keep my book selection varied and my reading stack moving. Here are a few reading goals I have for 2013:
Speaking of book clubs, if you are looking for some book-related fellowship, you are welcome to join one of these two.
Food for Thought book club meets in person at my house and is organized through my church. All reading women are welcome! For the next meeting, we?ll be discussing Because He Loves Me by Elyse Fitzpatrick. Grab a book and read it through, making note of anything that is especially meaningful to you and also working through the reflection questions at the end of each chapter. To attend our February discussion, simply let me know you are interested, and you?ll be included in the date-selection e-mailer that I?ll send toward the end of January.
The High Calling book club meets online. We read the assigned chapters and gather up on Mondays to ?discuss? via blog post reflections. You can simply stop in THC to read participant posts, or you can write a post of your own on your blog and then link it up to THC. In January, we are reading Karen Swallow Prior?s Booked: Literature in the Soul of Me. To join, simply get the book and start reading! Visit THC to discuss chapters 1?3 Monday, January 7.
