Ag communications program ranked No. 1 The Texas Tech agricultural communications undergraduate program has been ranked No. 1 in the nation, according to a University of Arkansas study.

The study analyzed and ranked 40 agricultural communications programs in the country, according to a Tech news release.

“I was excited to see the No. 1 national ranking for our department,” Steve Fraze, department chairman, said in the release. “We have a very talented and dedicated faculty combined with an outstanding set of students. Being ranked No. 1 nationally recognizes this fact and helps in the recruitment of students, not only undergraduate but graduate students as well. It also makes Texas Tech a desirable destination for future faculty.”

The Tech agricultural communications program combines mass communications and agriculture, according to the release, and offers courses in both areas of interest.

Online program earns national recognition For the second year in a row, BestColleges.com recognized Texas Tech for its online programs for the 2014-15 school year.

Tech is ranked No. 21 for its Worldwide eLearning online program, according to a Tech news release, and the website based rankings on university admissions, enrollment, number of completely online programs and other criteria.

Last year, Tech ranked No. 45, according to the release, and is one of only two universities in the state of Texas to be ranked for both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years.

“I commend Worldwide eLearning and Texas Tech faculty and staff for their strong efforts to extend the educational reach of our university both within our region and globally,” Tech President M. Duane Nellis said in the release. “As we continue to grow our online presence, it is our responsibility to encourage students, both traditional and non-traditional, to pursue their educational goals through new and innovative approaches.

This ranking is a testament to that.” ➤➤@dailytoreador

Proposed expansion would connect state

By KAITLIN BAIN Senior reporter

The Ports-To-Plains Alliance was started in the mid90s by U.S. Representative Randy Neugebauer as a way to better connect Lubbock in the 19th District to surrounding areas to increase economy in the area.

“I helped found the Portsto-Plains Alliance to improve the Ports-to-Plains Corridor and our West Texas infrastructure,” Neugebauer said, “by expanding our highways to increase economic activity, bring more goodpaying jobs to the region and create more opportunity for families and individuals.”

At the time, the alliance members spoke with the Texas Department of Transportation about making an interstate as the connection, but the cost to build the interstate outweighed the benefits, Michael Reeves, president of the alliance, said.

Now, however, the idea has

been brought up again as Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson visited Austin in January to speak with the Texas Department of Transportation about a new feasibility study for an interstate that is now being conducted.

“The Mayor of Lubbock has been discussing with TxDOT the possibility of extending I-27 north of Amarillo and south of Lubbock and has requested our assistance investigating this possibility,” according to the Texas Department of Transportation.

“We are in the early stages of organizing a feasibility study.”

The study begins with the gathering of input from communities that lie along the Ports-to-Plains Corridor, according to the department, and gauging interest.

If there is interest, according to the department, a technical analysis is started to analyze if the interstate is needed and what timing, cost and impacts it would have.

Link Ministries plans 1B Eric Gutierrez on to renovate facilities preseason watch list

By JONATHAN LAUREL

Along with his multiple other preseason honors, Texas Tech junior first basemen Eric Gutierrez has been named to the Golden Spikes Award Watch List, according to a news release from Tech Athletics.

Gutierrez is the seventh Tech player since 1995 to be named to the list, according to the release, which is given to the top amateur baseball player in the country.

Link Ministries, a faith-based nonprofit organization, works to assist Lubbock residents in need, particularly the homeless, with programs and facilities.

The organization’s latest project involves a plan to renovate its older properties and transform them into a homeless-run community, Les Burrus, executive director of Link Ministries and the creator of the project, said.

The nonprofit owns a number of older properties in east Lubbock, he said.

“We want to take the older, rundown buildings that we own and make them useful,” he said. “We have a concept of having people come here and enjoying the ambiance of the environment with the landscaping and the buildings and hopefully greenhouses out here.”

The idea first came about in 2012, when Burrus had a long-term vision for a facility that would someday take over the organization’s program known as Tent City, a large collection of tents on the east side of Lubbock that provides a temporary home for homeless people, Burrus said.

In the same year, Link Ministries teamed up with David Driskill and Urban Tech of the Texas Tech College of Architecture, and they decided to support the idea of High Cotton, the facility that Burrus was dreaming of, he said.

“We are dedicated to renovating downtown Lubbock,” Driskill, director of Urban Tech, said. “With the high number of homeless activity in ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

Organization helps students with finances

By MICHAEL CANTU RED TO BLACK Staff Writer

For many college students, the burden of debt is an all too real issue to face. However, the Texas Tech Red to Black program looks to help students manage their finances.

Red to Black is a student service Tech offers to any and all students who face, or could face, the struggle of student debt. It is a free organization that coaches students in budgeting their money, dealing with debt and helping fill out loan applications.

“The organization is a peer-to-peer meeting,” Matt Berti, a senior personal financial planning major from Houston, said. “Anyone can call and register so that we can help with issues ranging from budget organization, rent, mortgage issues, loans and credit scores.”

The peer financial counselors are meant

to bring comfort to the students coming for advice. The financial coaches vary from undergraduate students, master’s students and even some doctoral students, Berti said.

“It’s a long process, but as long as they have the right classes and get the right experience they can be a counselor,” Shelby Huber, a junior personal financial planning major from Keller, said. “You definitely have to have a certain amount of courses taken.”

Student Housing hosts Wellness Week

By CIARA DEVORE Staff Writer

University Student Housing is investing in the overall health of Texas Tech students by commemorating Wellness Week 2015.

Erika Bowles, assistant director of Residence Education and Academic Programs, said this is the second year Student Housing has offered the themed programming week in the spring semester.

“As University Student Housing, we focus on not only providing a place to live, but also giving experiences where students get to learn and engage

with others in the community,” she said, “and focus on areas that we know are important for college students, BOWLES like safety and wellness.”

Student Housing determined seven areas of wellness — intellectual, social, physical, spiritual, occupational, emotional and environmental — which led to the themes of events during the week, according to the Wellness Week website.

The week also focuses on five specific learning outcomes: civility, engagement, independence, character and achievement, BATISTA Bowles said.

All the programs are free to students, regardless of if they live on campus or not, she said.

Aubrey Batista, residence life coordinator of the Murray and Carpenter/Wells Residence Hall Complex, said exercising regularly and avoiding illness are not the only indicators of wellness.

Media, communication startup team competition announced The Texas Tech College of Media and Communication has opened applications for its first Silicon Prairie Student Startup Competition for students interested in pitching ideas in sports media, gaming, digital entertainment and other categories.

The competition draws inspiration from the show “Shark Tank,” according to a College of Media and Communication news release.

Applications are due Feb. 27, according to the release. By March, five

teams will be chosen to compete in the final event.

The teams will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges and investors at the end of April, according to the release.

Undergraduates and graduate students may apply, according to the release.

Alumni who have graduated from Tech within the past six months can also participate in the competition.

Each team, composed of up to five members, must have at least one College of Media and Communication student,

according to the release. Individuals can also apply.

The college will cover the costs of a master’s degree through its graduate program for two winning students, according to the release.

To obtain an application, email studentstartup.comc@ttu.edu.

“We want to bring to students’ attention that wellness is beyond being physically well,” she said.

“It’s about emotional health. It’s about building relationships and spiritual wellness and so many other forms of wellness.”

The week began with a physical-wellness-themed fun run hosted by the Bledsoe/Gordon/ Sneed and Wall/Gates Residence Hall Complexes, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

Horn/Knapp Residence Hall Complex and Coleman Residence Hall hosted a spiritual-themed event that allowed students to

participate in meditation and yoga, according to the website.

Students can participate in a speed friending activity at 6 p.m. today in the lobby of the Hulen/ Clement Residence Hall Complex.

“It will aim to help teach students how to engage with others and start to build relationships, and what are some tips and tricks to get to know new people, because not everyone is very comfortable meeting new people,” Bowles said.

“The more connected you are at an institution, the more likely you are to stay, the more engaged you’re going to be and all that leads to being more successful as a student.”

Student Housing will host a program called “Smile, Breathe and Relax,” which focuses on emotional wellness, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Chitwood/Weymouth classroom and in the Stangel/Murdough Residence Hall Complex lobby.

“College students have a lot going on, like classes, work, social lives,” Bowles said. “It’s that time of semester that tests are coming up, and we want to educate the students on how to take care of themselves emotionally so they can be successful in all the other areas of their lives.”

While implementation of four-lane divided highways is currently underway and has been going on for 20 years, Reeves said, and if the Texas Department of Transportation survey does find feasibility for an interstate, implementation would take far longer.

“If you’re looking at interstate,” he said, “it would be a much longer process because you have to have controlled access, frontage roads, it’s much more expensive to build an interstate.”

Wife of ‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle to testify STEPHENVILLE (AP) — The widow of the former Navy SEAL depicted in the blockbuster film “American Sniper” will be among the first to testify against the man charged with killing her husband.

A day before opening statements in the trial of former Marine Eddie Ray Routh, prosecutors said Tuesday that Chris Kyle’s widow, Taya, will take the stand. They also filed documents outlining “bad acts” and other offenses allegedly committed by Routh that they may want

to bring before the jury.

Defense attorneys have already said they will pursue an insanity defense for Routh, who family members said suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Routh, 27, faces life in prison without parole if convicted of capital murder in the shooting deaths of Kyle and Kyle’s friend Chad Littlefield as the pair tried to help Routh at a shooting range two years ago.

A jury of 10 women and two men was seated Monday from an initial pool of 800 people, despite concerns from defense lawyers about finding an impartial jury because of pretrial publicity. The film based on Kyle’s memoir as a sniper who served four tours in Iraq has grossed nearly $300 million.

The intense attention on the case — largely because of Kyle’s memoir and the Oscar-nominated film — has also brought renewed focus to the mental struggles former military members face.

Routh was a small arms technician who served in Iraq and was deployed to earthquake-ravaged Haiti before leaving the Marines in 2010.

Authorities say that after the February 2013 shooting of Kyle and Littlefield, Routh drove to his sister’s house in Kyle’s truck, admitted to the killings and told his sister “people were sucking his soul.”

Routh has been in court since the jury screenings began last week, listening to the proceedings.

Another of the first witnesses prosecutors plan to call is Littlefield’s mother,

This establishment, Texas Tech University & The Daily Toreador do not encourage underage drinking or alcohol abuse.

Judy. District Judge Jason Cashon ruled that she and Taya Kyle can stay in court to watch proceedings after testifying.

Cashon also said he’ll rule on a case-by-case basis on admitting any of Routh’s other offenses and “bad acts” outside of the day he was arrested and the day after.

The state’s filings say Routh smoked marijuana, drank excessively and had a history of killing small animals. They also say on Jan. 19, 2013, he threatened his girlfriend and her roommate with a kitchen knife and sword. He was taken to a mental hospital.

On the day of the killings, Routh had been drinking and smoking marijuana and again threatened his girlfriend with a knife, a filing states. After his arrest, he allegedly threatened officers and caused problems while jailed, including flooding his cell.

In response to the attention the case drew, county officials had summoned more than four times as many potential jurors as they would for a regular trial — not unusual for a high-profile case.

That a jury for Routh was chosen ahead of schedule — even with the media exposure — could have stemmed from several factors, said Marcellus McRae, a Los Angeles trial attorney and former federal prosecutor.

Among them are the parameters the judge sets and the people who happened to be called to the pool.

“It’s a complex process,” McRae said.

The potential jury field was narrowed over two days last week, when would-be jurors filled out a questionnaire that included inquiries on whether they had seen the movie or read the book, served in the military, had a familiarity with firearms, or ever been treated for a mental condition.

Lubbock nonprofit pairs with day cares

By SARAH WILSON Staff Writer

Te a c h e r s o f t e n l e a v e a lasting impression on students, and can help shape students’ thoughts and ideas by providing opportunities.

Stace Jones, chief opperating officer of The Learning Tree, works with Texas Tech students by creating internships and giving students the experience necessary to become a teacher.

In addition to various day cares and afterschool programs in Lubbock, the organization also offers internships through Texas Children’s Association.

Jones is adding a new center, The Institute for Creative

Learners. The Institute is committed to providing individualized and personal education for children to meet their needs, Jones said.

“Students with learning differences have a great mind for out of the box thinking and creativity,” she said. “The institute uses those talents to help better students and boost self esteem.”

The Institute for Creative Learners will be a new afterschool and day care facility modeled after The Learning Tree, Lauren Aston, principal of The Learning Tree, said.

The building is currently under renovation, with expectations for it to be finished before summer.

CUTTING THE CAKE

The center is constantly researching and evolving to meet the needs of children, according to the Institute for Creative Learning Center’s website, knowing that guarding that child’s self esteem is a important part of education.

A child cannot achieve unless that child believes he or she can achieve.

Alex McAdoo, executive director for the Texas Children’s Association, has been involved in education and nonprofits for more than 20 years. McAdoo started working with summer camps and afterschool programs when he saw a bigger need for structure in the community, he said.

“We provide programs to children and their families,” McAdoo said. “I hate to use at risk, but that’s really the population and our target, just to keep them engaged with educational type programs, supplemental programs, nutritional programs, just to make their life toward success a little bit better.”

K e l s e y K e r l e y, a j u n i o r English major from McKinney, is going through the student t e a c h i n g p r o c e s s a t Te c h .

Kerley said she was inspired to be a teacher during her senior year of high school when an English teacher brought up the idea.

“It’s really important to see how the classroom functions

from a teacher’s standpoint,” Kerley said. “I am just observing this semester, but I’ve already learned so much.”

Aston said many of the core values like respecting your elders and learning the difference between right and wrong are introduced at their introductory kindergarten levels. The school’s main focus is phonics, and it is constantly striving to increase the children’s knowledge, she said.

“We have interns come from the university to help,” McAdoo said. “We want the students to see people who are in college, so they can see that there is a way if they just stick to it and stay consistent.”

Jones said The Learning Tree and The Institute for Creative Learners often pairs with TCA, and the two share their resources. Jones said many of the college-level students interning with TCA cross paths with The Learning Tree.

“We are always looking for mentors, even if they’re just volunteering, to come out and just interact with the children,” McAdoo said. “We have internships for people majoring in education or human development, just to give them some hands-on experience. These are the types of children they’ll be working with upon the completion of their education.” ➤➤@SarahWilsonDT

Social media changes how people interact in relationships

By MORGAN NOBLE Staff Writer

With social media continuing to rise in popularity, it is finding its place in multiple areas of everyday life.

This includes relationships, and it has changed the way relationships are formed, handled and ended.

Students at Texas Tech are no strangers to social media. It has changed the way they socialize, and when it comes to relationships, it has changed the way they interact with their significant others.

“I feel like it makes people more skeptical, because they can see everything everyone is doing,” Taylor Turner, a junior agricultural economics major from Lubbock, said.

Relationship milestones have been a big deal to people of the social media era, the majority being called “Facebook official,” which has become important to people of the younger generation. Weston Waldo, a principal

investigator in the electrical engineering department, said milestones like becoming “Facebook official” are a way of getting attention.

“People want their friends to see that they have the relationship status.

Social media really solidifies what a relationship is sometimes, but then also vice versa,” Waldo said. “It can also be pressure to enter into something just to show off to your friends.”

Turner also acknowledged she knows many people hold becoming “Facebook official” in high regard. However, she doesn’t agree it should be as important.

“A lot of people think it is, but I personally don’t think it is,” Turner said.

“I feel like that just means you’re wanting people to know, but it doesn’t really define your relationship.”

Social media also changes how couples interact while in a relationship. Using social media while on a date can be a dangerous way to spend the evening.

“You probably want to have your

significant other’s attention while you’re at the dinner table,” Abby Hill, a sophomore agricultural communications major from Turkey, said. “Like they’re interested in what you have to say.”

It is a problem for many people.

Social media can be distracting both to the person using it and the person being ignored because of it.

“I think it is really rude,” Will Gray, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from McKinney, said. “Usually when I go out on dates, I try to not use my phone at all.”

Hill believes relationships are a personal matter, she said. She does not like having many aspects of her relationships posted on social media.

“I personally don’t like that. I feel like it’s more of personal thing. It’s fine every once in a while to post a picture of each other,” Hill said, “but I don’t feel like woman crush Wednesday or man crush Monday every Monday and Wednesday is a good, healthy thing in your relationship. I feel it should be

more personal.”

Social media can also hurt relationships to the point of ending them. Gray said that people are too dependent on social media when it comes to relationship information and more.

“So many people base their relationship off social media and look to social media for approval,” Gray said.

“They post pictures of them with their girlfriend and want everyone to see how perfect their relationship is.”

When involved in a relationship, trust is especially important during the social media age. There are many ways that people sneak around to both betray and spy, Hill said.

“It depends on the relationship and if they trust one another or not, but I feel like the worst one right now is probably Snapchat,” Hill said. “It hasn’t happened to me, but I’ve seen friends that it’s happened to. It was the whole best friend thing, but I think that it’s not there anymore, I think it’s better.” ➤➤@MorganNobleDT

Redefining chronic fatigue with better diagnosis, new name PHOTO BY DUNCAN STANLEY/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH PRESIDENT M. Duane Nellis cuts cake to hand out on Tuesday inside the Student Union building. Feb. 10 was the 92nd anniversary of the signing of the legislation that founded Tech.

Because Red to Black is a student service, their clientele varies from overwhelmed freshmen to seniors who want to get a head start on their finances, Matt Berti said.

“Really it can be anyone,” Berti said. “ A freshman trying to figure out a meal plan, tuition or bills. Or it could even be senior who needs to start a 401(k).”

The most frequent clients they take on are mostly freshmen and seniors, Huber said.

“There’s a lot in between,” she said. “But we love and welcome everyone to come if they have any questions.”

One frequent problem Red to Black clients have is the amount of debt they take on unknowingly,

which is a problem the organization is equipped to inform, Berti said. Many try to take any sort of help they can, and ultimately that lands them in a hot spot, Berti said.

“They’re thinking I’m going to need all of this money,” he said.

“Not everyone takes advantage of some scholarships that are out there.

They’re thinking ‘I have to get a loan’ when all they have to do is apply for scholarships.”

Not having a good gauge on what you are actually going to spend is one of the main problems students have, Huber said. Understanding how much interest compounds and reading the fine print are a few of many ways Red to Black helps students, she said.

“A lot of people don’t know that when you accept a loan you don’t have to accept the full amount,” Huber said.

“Some people just take it all out, when in reality you have this additional

WASHINGTON (AP) — Doctors are getting a new way to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome — and influential government advisers say it’s time to replace that hated name, too, to show it’s a real and debilitating disease.

The Institute of Medicine on Tuesday called on doctors to do a better job money that you don’t need, but will still have to pay interest on it.”

If there was one thing that Red to Black does want to get across, it is knowledge, Kaylyn Adams, a sophomore financial planning major from Lubbock, said.

“Most of the time I’m really surprised at the knowledge some people don’t have about their money,” she said. “It is really amazing that we can teach about financial literacy and budgeting.”

“I think some people don’t really understand how interest accrues and compounds so quickly,” Huber said. “Which we use lots of illustrations for.”

Student loans are an easy way to get in debt, Huber said.

“Most of the time the debt we see is student loan debt,” Huber said.

The main advantage is the service is free and confidential. The peer ses-

And the IOM’s choice of a new name — Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease, or SEID — reflects a core symptom, that exertion can wipe patients out.

“This is not a figment of their sion does give you a sense of comfort, Huber said.

“We do guarantee we’ve all been in the clients’ shoes,” she said, “in a sense of we know what they’re going through and the position that they are in.”

The clients as well as the coaches are on the same playing field by learning what they can do and applying it, Huber said. That is a big advantage as opposed to paying a large amount to go to a firm, she said.

Red to Black’s job is to give students the tools and information, but students still have to get the work done themselves, Berti said.

“Your finances are in your hands,” Berti said. “At the end of the day it’s going to be your responsibility, but use resources that you have available to you. Especially while you have them for free.” ➤➤mcantu@dailytoreador.com

This led him to his biggest mistake ever made, by believing no one would ever find out the truth.

The only thing he could possibly gain from lying is fame, which proves his ego needs to be fed constantly in order for him to feel satisfied with himself.

Williams has acquired the most fame any journalist could possibly attain. According to an Los Angeles Times article, Williams has guest starred on 30 Rock, has slow-jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon and even has celebrity friends like Jon Stewart. Unfortunately, he will now be famous for lying.

Many people are surprised Williams is caught up in a scandal and have continued to stay positive during his leave of absence, but others have not been so kind or forgiving. Is it surprising people across the nation would react this way to something as critical as a lie is?

Kyle Smith of the New York Post said, “he didn’t contradict David Letterman’s description of him as a ‘war hero.’ We should

Americans want a news anchor who they can trust and rely on to be as genuine as possible when reporting the news...

Brian Williams was that news anchor for 10 years, but now he is the man who lied to America.

have known he was lying… actual heroes hate being called heroes.”

Williams did not demonstrate any sense of humility when embarking on this outrageously false story. In fact, some could say this story fueled his career as a news reporter. This is a tragic reality.

Smith has a very valid point in not excusing Williams for his actions. If we pity a man who lied to obtain fame or attention, then we ourselves are hypocrites. Instead, we need to give Williams all the attention he deserves by officially declaring him a liar. Perhaps the experience will teach Williams the importance of integrity and the value of honesty when reporting the news to mass audiences.

The biggest issue against Williams returning to the newsroom is trust. How is anyone going to be able to trust a man who has been lying about a report for 12 years now? His credibility has been diminished and his fame is now met with shame.

It is also not fair to allow a reporter who has falsified a news story return to report the news.

Past reporters who have committed such despecable actions have suffered the consequences.

Why whould Williams’ case be any different?

According to the U.S. News Health website, “Anything that is not accurate is a lie. You can argue that a lie done to make someone else feel better is relatively minor. But they have an effect. The bottom line is that a lie is a lie.”

Everyone tells a small white lie every now and then — sadly, Williams is a reporter who has been caught lying to benefit himself. In doing so, he has lost the trust and respect from many across the nation. The embarassment and shame this man may be feeling is unmeasurable.

Williams is better off resigning from his position and should admit he was intentionally falsifying his report on Iraq.

In addition, Williams should issue a public apology for manipulating the truth. Many were affected by his lies and deception.

Americans deserve a news anchor who they can trust and rely on to be as genuine as possible when reporting the news.

Sadly, Williams was that news anchor for 10 years, but now he is the man who lied to America.

TEDx talks will be taking place this month at Texas Tech.

While there are not many wellknown speakers featured in the TEDx talk, these lectures bring out innovative ideas and touch upon interesting perspectives.

Without these lectures, many would be unable to derive the experience of a lecture that outlines the official TED Talks TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design; this name gives this organization a mission to build upon. TED talks have branched out into three separate sections.

The global conferences offer setting-type talks and feature some of the most influential speakers. Thousands attend these informative events on college campuses.

In addition, these conferences offer a focus on local communities.

An example of this is the TEDx being hosted in Lubbock.

Education is another area that is touched upon through these global conferences.

TED-Ed offers learning lessons based on actual scholastic subjects.

These TEDEd conferences help a mass number of individuals learn profusely through experts.

According to the ALA website, “TEDx is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TEDlike experiences at the local level.”

In addition, the website states, “A TEDx event can serve as a catalyst to broaden the definition of LIBRARY and create new ways to bring people and resources together.”

For only a small fee of $10, students can attend the event on Feb. 28 at the Student Union building on campus.

In doing so, students can benefit from these presentations by learning how others are doing great things around the world.

This event is a wonderful way to broaden your mind and perception of the world.

Many may ask, who will be speaking at this event? Most unanswered questions can be answered by paying a visit to the official website, tedx.ttu.edu. The website shares information about the featured speakers and about the subjects to be covered during the scheduled talks. The variety of local and national speakers gives this event the ability to have various perspectives on diverse subjects.

Unfortunately, not all of the talks will be relevant to everyone; however, students should not have difficulty finding something that will appeal to them. It is impossible to imagine that not

“

Kendra Kimberlin a single topic could potentially grab an individual’s attention.

A whole day will be dedicated to this event. If a student was ambitious and decided to attend all of the scheduled talks, then he or she might have trouble processing the mass amount of informative topics. It would be best to attend a few talks and then ponder about what was presented during the conference.

In doing so, the information presented at these events can be better retained among those who attend the presentations. After attending one or two presentations, the student can decide whether he or she wants to continue attending the informative presentations.

According to the Forbes article, “TED and TEDx are powerful events because their organizers and staff don’t do it for the money or the fame — for which there is neither. They do it to make a difference. And people that do things out of passion, do them better.”

The website also makes a few references to some very interesting statistics that have merit.

“More than 130 countries and 1,200 cities have hosted a TEDx event. It’s been done in remote and unexpected places like Baghdad, Kenya, Sao Carlos, Libya and in Los Angeles’s SkidRow… TED reports total views outside of YouTube are 800 million and growing,” according to the website.

One must consider there will be some criticisms to follow this

With gears of businesses, social outreach programs and charities continuing to reach and impact different parts of the world, it is nice to see a platform of learning being thrown into that mix.

Brian Williams, anchor of NBC Nightly News, has been suspended for six months shortly after he announced he would be taking a break from his show due to him “mistakenly” placing himself in the midst of danger during an Iraq air invasion in 2003.

Many media outlets are calling Williams a liar and are requesting he be fired altogether, but I feel he should resign instead. In making this decision, he will be doing the right thing, and could potentially earn a small amount of respect from those who already see him as an immoral person.

In March 2003, according to a New York Times article, Williams initially reported he was in a helicopter, which according to him was requested to land immediately because the one ahead of them was being shot by a rocketpropelled grenade.

Since then, Williams has added more to his false story — first, by stating he was in the helicopter that was shot at and then by honoring a war veteran for saving his life from the attack.

Both accounts turned out to be false and Williams has been caught in the act of stretching the truth. It’s quite amazing he was not immediately fired from the NBC Nightly News network. This sad fact servers as a testament to the deep influence this man has on our society today.

According to a New York Times article, “The admission raises serious questions about his credibility in a business that values that quality above all else.”

On Feb. 4, Williams made a public apology and said he made a “mistake” in “recalling” the events that took place that day. He then later announced he would be taking a break from his show for the time being. Williams may believe he is being strategic in making the decision to remove himself from NBC, but, I believe he can do better.

According to the Stripes website, “Williams made the claim about the incident while presenting NBC coverage of the tribute to the retired command sergeant major at the Rangers game Friday. Fans gave the soldier a standing ovation.”

In addition, the website s t a t e s , “ Wi l l i a m s d i s p u t e d Wednesday claims the initial reports were inaccurate, saying he originally reported he was in another helicopter but later confused the events.”

In previous years, Williams’ reports on Hurricane Katrina have been questionable, and now this recent incident has caused viewers to see him in a negative light. Many can agree this man’s veracity is damaged beyond measure.

Now Americans who have tuned in to view the Nightly News since 1993 are forced to question Williams’ credibility as a trustworthy reporter.

It is quite unfortunate for viewers to feel hesitation from the very figures they categorize as being credible when looking to a news outlet for public information. News should always be reported as factually as possible. It seems our news society is changing dramatically in very

massive event.

Many could say this enthusiastic way of introducing highly complex issues in an isolated arena can result in many misunderstandings from people who have small perspectives and are closed-minded. Thus, people could potentially argue that it is unfair to hold such complex informational presentations.

Most importantly, it is crucial to remember speakers want to help others understand the presented topics in a clear-cut format without having to search through intensive research and formulas, which is where the data is retrieved from in order to make the presentations.

Many are thankful for the fact that presentations tend to be credible, which may lead those who are trusting to believe in the content that is being introduced during the event.

However, individuals should be more proactive and conduct some research on their own.

In doing so, people can confirm the credibility of the presentations and gain a better sense of understanding of from where these speakers derive their information from. It is a student’s responsibility to be curious and learn through being active and not passive.

When attending these talks, people should take in the information with a grain of salt.

This could help people fight against possibly feeling like a captive of persuasive speech and give individuals a better sense of control over what is being presented to them. Processing small bits of information can also help maintain a balanced view on the issues being discussed.

With gears of businesses, social outreach programs and charities continuing to reach and impact different parts of the world, it is nice to see a platform of learning being thrown into that mix.

The TED Talks are a powerful way to disperse knowledge and advocate the power of learning through experts. Students at Tech should take full advantage of the opportunity to broaden their mindsets and gain insightful information to help them view the world in a different way.

Following the program’s firstever trip to the College World Series in 2014, Texas Tech has sold out its season tickets for the 2015 season, according to a news release from Tech Athletics.

This is the first time in school history all baseball tickets have been sold out, according to the release, and more than doubles the 1,300 sold before last season.

Tech Athletics Director Kirby Hocutt said this is just one more demonstration of how much love the fans have for Red Raider sports.

“When you look at what was achieved last fall with football season ticket sales and now with baseball, it just goes to show how passionate Red Raider fans are,” he said. “Coach Tadlock and our team are excited to take the field

Every possession is so critical, you have to convert when you have an easy shot.

“

TECH COACH CANDI Whitaker yells from the bench during the second half of the game on Jan. 28 in the United Supermarkets Arena.

“I’m excited for Iowa State tomorrow. It’s a team that likes to shoot the ball and they have really good shooters,” Spears said. “So we need to make sure we get up on them and not let them get sparks from making a lot of threes.”

Similar to the men’s basketball team, the Lady Raiders have found much more success at home than on the road. They are 1-5 on the road this season.

Since one of the larger crowds of the season is expected for tonight’s game, Spears said the team is hoping to use that home court advantage.

“Playing at home is just easier. It’s more fun, you have your fans,” she said. “You like to think you have a little bit of a home court advantage with fans and everyone coming to the game.” ➤➤@JeremyK_DT
