Another GOP Senator Endorses Same-Sex Marriage

Many Americans have embraced frugality in recent years, but sometimes money-saving strategies backfire when taken to extremes. Manisha Thakor, author of "On My Own Two Feet: A Modern Girl's Guide to Personal Finance" and founder and CEO of Santa Fe-based investment advisory firm MoneyZen Wealth Management, says this can occur among Americans across all income levels. "It's a mindset that comes from a healthy desire to not live beyond your means, but it crosses the line when it cuts into joy," she says.

Shooting reported outside northeast Ohio church

ASHTABULA, Ohio (AP) ? Police in northeast Ohio are investigating a shooting outside a church that has left one man dead after an Easter service.

A member of the Hiawatha Church-God in Christ says the man was shot outside after Easter services, at about 1:15 p.m. Sunday. Joan Crockett says a suspect was taken into custody.

Media reports have identified the victim as 52-year-old Richard Riddle and say his son was the shooter.

Ashtabula Police Chief Robert Stell tells the Star Beacon in Ashtabula that a mass shooting was feared after dispatchers received multiple calls from inside the church. He says at least six other law enforcement agencies rushed in to assist local police.

There were no immediate reports of any other injuries.

Tourism down after sex attacks in India

NEW DELHI (AP) ? The rape and murder of a young woman in New Delhi in December followed by two attacks on foreign female travelers has altered how tourists view India and led to a sharp fall in the numbers of foreign tourists, especially women, a study said.

In the three months since that attack, the number of foreigners travelling to India has dropped by 25 percent, according to the study by the New Delhi-based Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry. The number of women tourists has dropped by 35 percent, the study released late Sunday said.

The gang rape of the 23-year-old university student on a bus in the heart of the Indian capital shocked a country often inured to such sexual violence. It brought hundreds of thousands of angry citizens out in the streets to demand more safety for women and harsher laws to deter the perpetrators of such acts.

The study surveyed 1,200 tour operators from across the country who said that "concerns about the safety of female travelers" had impacted how foreign travelers viewed India.

Since the December gang rape there have been two widely publicized incidents where foreign female travelers have been attacked.

Last month a Swiss woman was gang raped in central India as she and her husband camped in a remote forest. In the second incident a young British woman says she was forced to jump out of the window of her hotel room to avoid a sexual attack in Agra, the city that is home to the Taj Mahal.

According to the study, the three incidents have hurt tourism and nearly 72 percent of the tour operators said cancelations of holiday bookings came mostly from women tourists, most of them from Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia.

The study said that travelers planning trips to India had instead opted for other Asian countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

The winter months from November to March mark the peak tourist season in India.

According to India's Tourism Ministry, 6.6 million foreign tourists visited India in 2012, earning the country $17.74 billion in foreign exchange.

BlackBerry maker's stock up on hopes for comeback

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Research in Motion Ltd.'s stock rallied Monday on hopes that the BlackBerry maker will be able to build on its recent momentum to mount a more serious challenge to Apple Inc.'s iPhone and rival mobile devices running on Google Inc.'s Android software.

THE SPARK: The stock gains came after investors had more time to digest RIM's most recent quarterly results, which were announced on Thursday, the final day of stock trading last week.

The quarterly numbers offered signs of hope as well as distress. On the plus side, a new Blackberry model got off to a solid start in sales, helping the company post a profit that hadn't been anticipated by industry analysts. But the company also lost about 3 million subscribers in the last quarter, signaling the company is still losing market share to the iPhone and Android-powered phones made by Samsung Electronics and other handset manufacturers.

THE BIG PICTURE: Investors snapping up RIM's stock Monday evidently believe the Canadian company's positives will outweigh its negatives as it converts more users to its new BlackBerry 10 software. The redesigned the operating system has the multimedia features, Internet browsing and apps experience that have been staples on the iPhone and Android devices for several years. The BlackBerry Z10, the first RIM device running on the new software, was only sold in international markets in the past quarter. The Z10 is now being sold in the crucial U.S. market.

Another new model with a physical keyboard, the Q10, is expected to be released in international markets next month, although it might not be available in the U.S. until June or July. That delay opens a window for Apple and Android device makers to win over longtime BlackBerry users tired of waiting for a more dynamic smartphone.

The rise of the iPhone and Android devices is the main reason that RIM's stock price has plummeted by more than 65 percent from its levels six years ago. The company is punctuating its faith in its revamped product line by changing its name to BlackBerry. That proposed switch still needs shareholder approval.

THE ANALYSIS: In Monday research note, Wells Fargo Securities analyst Maynard Um predicted RIM will sell 3.5 million BlackBerry 10 phones in the current quarter ending in early June. He previously had projected 2.5 million BlackBerry 10 phones would be shipped in the period covering RIM's fiscal first quarter.

He also expects a smaller loss of 7 cents per share rather than 22 cents per share for the entire fiscal year. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected a loss of 47 cents cents per share late last week. After the release of the most recent quarterly results, they now expect profit of 10 cents per share for the year.

SHARE ACTION: RIM's stock gained 61 cents, or 4.2 percent, to $15.05 in afternoon trading. The shares have ranged from $6.22 to $18.32 in the past 12 months.

'Buckwild' star Shain Gandee dead at 21

By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

Updated at 5:06 p.m. ET:?Shain Gandee, a star on the MTV reality program "Buckwild," has died, NBC affiliate WSAZ confirmed on Monday.

MTV

The 21-year-old and his uncle, David Gandee, were reported missing on Sunday, according to the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office. The two were said to have been last seen at a Sissonville, W.Va., bar around 3 a.m., and they then planned to go four-wheeling.


According to Kanawha County Commission President Ken Carper, the bodies of Shain and two others were found in a truck in Sissonville on Monday.

The Kanawha County Sheriff's Office has identified the second person as 48-year-old David. There's no word yet on the identity of the third person.

Family members began to search for Shain and his uncle on Sunday before officially reporting them missing.

Shain, along with "Buckwild" co-star Shae Bradley, appeared on TODAY in January, to defend their then-new show from critics who feared their on-screen antics would reinforce negative stereotypes about West Virginians.

Shain's defense of the show now strikes a sad tone. "You only live once, so live it up," he said.

Last month, MTV renewed the show for a second season. However, in the wake of Shain's death, production on the show has been suspended, a network spokesperson told The Clicker. No further details were available.

In a statement to TODAY, MTV said, "We are shocked and saddened by the terrible news about Shain Gandee, and those involved in this tragic incident. We are waiting for more information but at this time, our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly."
