Lubbock experiences destructive storm

Texas Tech pitcher Trey Masek was announced as a semifinalist for the Gregg Olson Award for breakout player of the year.

The junior right-handed pitcher from Giddings was selected as one of the top 46 players in college baseball who illustrated hard work, strength of mind and determination, according to the Gregg Olson Award website.

Masek finished the 2013 season with a 5-2 record, 1.82 ERA and pitching 69 strikeouts and 22 walks through 79 innings. He also held his opponents to a .206 batting average.

The winner of the award will be announced during the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., hosted June 15-26. ➤➤bfoxdailytoreador.com

US gov’t collecting huge number of phone records WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is secretly collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon under a top-secret court order, according to the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The Obama administration is defending the National Security Agency’s need to collect such records, but critics are calling it a huge over-reach.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told reporters Thursday that the court order for telephone records, first disclosed by The Guardian newspaper in Britain, was a threemonth renewal of an ongoing practice. The records have been collected for some seven years, according to Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev. “I think people want the homeland kept safe to the extent we can,” Feinstein said at a Capitol Hill news conference. “We want to protect these privacy rights. That’s why this is carefully done in federal court with federal judges who sit 24/7 who review these requests.”

And the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Republican Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan, said the NSA search of telephone records had thwarted an attempted terrorist attack in the United States in the past few years. He said it was a “significant case” but declined to provide further details.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that he couldn’t provide classified details but that the court order in question is a critical tool for learning when terrorists or suspected terrorists might be engaging in dangerous activities.

Education Service Center hosts Autism Conference

By ASHLYN TUBBS Photo Editor

The 2013 Autism Conference, hosted June 5 and 6 by the Region 17 Education Service Center in collaboration with Texas Tech’s Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research, had an attendance of about 350 participants.

Those in attendance included teachers, therapists and family members eager to learn more strategies for use in autistic home and educational environments.

“This is a way to meet the needs of training for both parents and professionals in our area,” said Anna Phillips, an education specialist for Region 17, “so we try to bring in national and local speakers that can give the latest on research and evidence-based practices on working with children with autism.”

The conference, she said, focused on three ideals dealing with autism: behavior, socialization and communication.

“We make sure we cover those three areas intensively,” Phillips said, “and try to find out new things in the field.”

Chris Cook, Managing Director of the Office of Communications and Marketing at Tech, said Tech workers arrived early to clear the debris and did a good job getting everything ready for the students.

HSC goes through multiple firsts, changes during spring

By EMILY GARDNER Managing Editor

This spring has been a year of firsts, changes and new things for Texas Tech Health Sciences Center.

HSC’s Family Medicine Accelerated Track program graduated its first group of students May 21.

Dr. Steven Berk, dean of the School of Medicine, said medical schools are trying to find more ways to get students to enter into family

medicine, a field needed in primary care, and the FMAT program is trying to help with that.

“The reason that this is so important is that this is the first group of students in the United States that completed a three-year program specifically in primary care,” he said. “There’s many other schools that are following in our footsteps and are going to do the same type of program.”

Dr. Eileen Dee, one of the FMAT program’s recent graduates, said she participated in the program because she was interested in primary

care and liked the hands-on experience she received in her second year.

Dee, who is from Wharton, said the program took out one year of school and paid for another year, which decreased her debt by about half.

Berk said because only about 10 percent of students enter into family medicine, more physicians in the field are needed.

In small towns of 25,000 people or less, he said there are very few physicians other than family medicine physicians.

The program also was mentioned on NBC’s

FAX: 806-742-2434

“Nightly News” program and its website.

Berk said the program recognized the nation’s shortage of primary care physicians and listed Tech’s FMAT program as one of the solutions.

“The reason that they were interested in Texas Tech is,” he said, “again, because they were recognizing that there was gonna be a real shortage in physicians in the United States especially after the Affordable Care Act.”

Former Tech professor testifies in support of wind impact program

By CARSON WINDHAM Staff Writer

A meeting of two congressional subcommittees was hosted Wednesday to discuss a bill establishing the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program.

U.S. Rep. Randy Neuge bauer (R-Texas) introduced the program April 26 prior to the Oklahoma tornadoes.

According to the bill, funding is to be distributed to various organizations to improve building codes, enhance the understanding of windstorms and their impact and help emergency response agencies predict and coordinate preparations and responses for weather events.

“This bill, I think, is going to protect lives,” Neugebauer said at the session. “I think it is going to reduce property losses, but more importantly it’s going

to make sure there is good coordination.”

Ernst Kiesling, executive director of the National Storm Shelter Association and retired professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech, testified to Congress concerning the new bill and said the people of Oklahoma were given poor information concerning what to do in a tornado event.

One of the TV stations in Oklahoma warned its viewers to get out of town before the tornado hit, causing a traffic jam and leaving people unprotected on the highway, Kiesling said.

“That, I think, is just terrible advice,” he said. “I think it is incorrect and deadly.”

Kiesling said the bill helps the already strong weather forecasting communities, but where it really helps is what is done with the forecasts.

“I think the National Weather Service does a very good job of

Kiesling said federal emergency funding only becomes available after a disaster is presidentially recognized.

This policy, he said, creates a lack of funding for research and commercialization of proper preparation methods.

“There is a lack of programs in a pre-disaster, mitigation setting,” Kiesling said, “that allows communities or entities to plan or do mitigation work before a disaster.”

The new bill, he said, answers this issue by developing a strategic plan to prepare against the loss of life and property from windstorms.

Kiesling said he likes to see the increase in funding, but sustaining the funds would help the most.

The Texas Medical Association awarded Steven Berk and secondyear medical student Justin Berk with awards at a TMA meeting May 17 in San Antonio.

Steven Berk was awarded the C. Frank Webber, M.D., Award, and Justin Berk was awarded the TMA Medical Student of the Year award.

Dr. Tedd Mitchell, HSC president, said the selection processes were separate from each other and that both Berks are active with TMA. According to a news release, Steven Berk received his award due to his recognition of student’s efforts and eagerness to promote student involvement in organized medicine.

Steven Berk said he was put into a position to receive the award because of what the students have done for the community and TMA.

Both days of the conference were in half-day sessions that repeated in the afternoon. There were five or six rooms of presentations to select from, as well as an area for vendors selling merchandise and educational literacy.

“My favorite thing about this conference is I love working with the presenters who come in,” Phillips said. “The participants are always really appreciative to have the opportunity to hear new things.”

The conference cost $50 for participants, but about 75 parents of autistic children attended for free.

“We feel it’s important for them to be able to get this information,” Phillips said. “I love being able to serve them and have them mingle with the professionals

said, “to mitigate disaster, sustained funding is needed.”

Kiesling said the federal government can plan for prevention and recovery, but would

recommend that state and local governments provide incentives to businesses, schools and vulnerable areas, such as trailer parks, to take steps to protect

their occupants from severe weather, and he strongly urges those in tornado-rich areas to purchase storm shelters.

“That award was to support and encourage medical students to be part of the Texas Medical Association,” he said, “and really to be part of the community in general, so I definitely appreciated that award because that spirit of service, community service in particular, is very important to us.”

According to the release, Justin Berk received the award due to his service to the TMA Medical Student Section.

Justin Berk is a leader on the HSC campus, Mitchell said, has a master’s degree in public health, and is participating in the MD/MBA program offered at Tech.

“You have to remember we have about 6,000 medical students in the state of Texas, so that’s a huge award, and it just so happens that both Berks got that,” he said. “The two awards are completely separate from one another, and, you know, we’re obviously proud of both of them because it really does speak to the quality of both our faculty

and our students at this university.”

In April, HSC El Paso was approved by Texas Congress to become a free-standing university, making it the fourth institution in the Tech system.

Mitchell said this means HSC El Paso will no longer be under his office in Lubbock, but also that he has been named interim president until a search committee finds a president.

“But now that they’re their own independent university,” he said, “they have to have their own president. So, the chancellor appointed me as the new interim president, which is basically doing the same thing that I’ve already been doing out there.”

The chancellor’s office will put together a search committee, Mitchell said. The committee is set up so it can represent various perspectives, including the students, faculty, community and system perspective.

The search committee, he said, will hire a search firm to search for candidates to fill the position and pres-

ent them back to the committee. The committee will then narrow down the applicant pool and ask the firm to bring those candidates in to meet with the committee before narrowing the list again, and bringing those to the university to meet with others involved, such as university and system officials.

“From that list, that list of finalists, they’ll rank them,” Mitchell said. “They’ll present that back to the chancellor and the board to make a final approval to say ‘yes, this is the person we want.’”

The process, he said, is done privately to protect the candidates current job and that the process could take anywhere from six to 12 months to complete.

“So, this could be a process which you would hope is that by this time next year,” MItchell said, “you have a permanent president that is if not in place, already selected and making plans to be in place.”

and be able to have that cross-community feel.”

One of the professionals who spoke at the conference was Wesley Dotson, an assistant professor in the Tech College of Education. His presentation was about adolescent issues in autism. He stressed the importance of recognizing the difference between hormone and autistic problems.

“If you’re going to deal with these problems effectively, you can’t take them personal,” Dotson said. “Adolescents are moody.”

He also stressed the importance of communicating complex issues with autistic adolescents, such as bullying, puberty, sex and online safety. Dotson said the only thing getting in between conversations about these topics is the autistic child and their mentor’s shame and fear.

“You’ve got to be comfortable with

where you are,” he said, “knowing that if you don’t do it, nobody else will or somebody else will, which is a scarier situation.”

Dotson also emphasized that autistic adolescents generally want to do the right thing.

“They want to be good,” he said. They want to have a life and friends. We have to care about what they’re interested in.”

Cheryl Aguilar, director of special education at Hobbs Municipal Schools, attended the workshops with a team of speech pathologists and diagnosticians, and occupational therapists.

“They’re going to different sessions than I am,” she said. “I am going to more administrative ones, so they’re getting a lot of information to apply, and then they’re going to train our staff that are still in the district.”

The workshops were positive and very

informative, Aguilar said.

“The strategies we’ve learned reinforces what we’re doing and gives us some new ones to work on with our kids,” she said. “The speakers are wonderful. I’m thinking about having some of them come to our district.”

She said she will try to attend the 2014 Autism Conference as well.

“This is one of the workshops we try to go to all the time,” Aguilar said.

“Region 17 always provides amazing conference opportunities for us.”

Next year, the conference will hopefully be held at a civic center to allow for more growth, Phillips said.

“We want to include working with visually impaired, hearing impaired and all those other strands,” she said, “We try to meet the needs of our community, so hopefully we are doing that successively.”

Bad behavior on reality TV is tested path to fame PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona restaurateur Amy Bouzaglo became an instant Internet celebrity last month after demonstrating an impressively short temper on a reality TV show that helps reform struggling businesses.

The episo de of “Kitchen Nightmares” drew more than a million viewers on YouTube, and Bouzaglo’s vitriolic rants became popular fodder on Twitter and Facebook.

So it should surprise no one that her next step was to announce she was shopping around her own reality TV show.

These days, head butting, table flipping, belly slapping, hair pulling, smack talking and other behavior generally considered impolite have become a tested strategy for reality TV fame, as seen in the proliferation of such shows as “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” ‘’Basketball Wives” and the “Real Housewives” franchise.

Some reality “stars” have become brands of their own after churning out self-help books,

hair products, cocktail lines and flavored water. And the next generation of more shocking, immoral and declassee reality celebrities always seems just one face-slap away.

“That’s the easiest kind of reality show to make and to sell,” said Jason Carbone, a veteran reality TV producer behind shows such as “Road Rules,” ‘’The Bachelor” and “Run’s House.”

“It’s something where there are loud characters doing stupid, obnoxious things and you are either laughing with them or at them,” he said.

Richard Hatch became America’s favorite villain when he won the first season of the CBS reality series “Survivor” in 2000 by forming alliances and otherwise acting strategically. His behavior likely would be considered tame compared to the current crop of bad boys and girls, said Max Dawson, a reality TV show consultant in Los Angeles.

“He didn’t pull weaves out and attack the other contestants on

social media while the show was airing,” Dawson said.

While cast members once had an entire season to build a character arc, social media now incentivizes villains to immediately act outrageous.

“Any moment is not only going to be discussed ad nauseam on Twitter, it’s going to be uploaded on YouTube, it will be turned into an image meme, it will instantly, in most cases, go viral,” Dawson said.

Modern television has become so predictably vulgar that a PBS station in New York recently launched a series of subway ads lampooning reality shows. The posters promote fake shows including “Bad Bad Bag Boys” and “Knitting Wars,” alongside the slogan: “The fact you thought this was a real show says a lot about the state of TV.” Bouzaglo, who has repeatedly ignored requests for comment, was expected to discuss her proposed reality show on the television newsmagazine “Inside

Edition” late Tuesday. She and her husband, Samy Bouzaglo, said they went on the show to disprove bad online reviews of their business, Amy’s Baking Co., in Scottsdale, Ariz. But their story went viral after host and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay ended up walking away when they grew incensed over his constructive criticism.

It’s not hard to imagine the foul-mouthed, defensive couple launching a TV series and creating a line of, say, Amy’s Angry Kitchen products if only because so many others have already blazed that path.

On Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Teresa Giudice launched a line of cookbooks and hair products after flipping over a table at a dinner party.

Beauty pageant participant Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson became a household name after the TLC network created a show capitalizing on her family’s redneck stereotypes.

On MTV, the nastiest “Real

World” contestants are often the ones invited back each year for an athletic competition show that can sometimes feel like the cast is reliving their cruelest high school memories.

“People who yell and scream sell because they attract the eyeballs and the eyeballs attract the advertisers,” said June Deery, a communications professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York and the author of “Consuming Reality: The Commercialization of Factual Entertainment.”

TV networks are drawn to the shows because they are relatively inexpensive to produce.

“If it doesn’t work, you cancel it after three shows. You haven’t lost that much money,” said James Wiltz, a licensed psychologist in Indiana who has studied reality TV viewership. “But if you get 10 million viewers, you are making a lot of money and you don’t have to pay anybody for it.”

But what do viewers get out of it? Why do they love to watch

Technicolor star Esther Williams dies at age 91 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Esther Williams, the swimming champion turned actress who starred in glittering and aquatic Technicolor musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, has died. She was 91.

Williams died early Thursday in her sleep, according to her longtime publicist Harlan Boll.

Following in the footsteps of Sonja Henie, who went from skating champion to movie star, Williams became one of Hollywood’s biggest moneymakers, appearing in spectacular swimsuit numbers that capitalized on her wholesome beauty and perfect figure.

Such films as “Easy to Wed,” ‘’Neptune’s Daughter” and “Dangerous When Wet” followed the same formula: romance, music, a bit of comedy and a flimsy plot that provided excuses to get Esther into the water.

The extravaganzas dazzled a second generation via television and the compilation films “That’s Entertainment.” Williams’ costars included the pick of the MGM contract list, including Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Red Skelton, Ricardo Montalban and Howard Keel.

When hard times signaled the end of big studios and costly musicals in the mid-’50s, Williams tried non-swimming roles with little success. After her 1962 marriage to Fernando Lamas, her co-star in “Dangerous When Wet,” she retired from public life.

She explained in a 1984 interview: “A really terrific guy comes along and says, ‘I wish you’d stay home and be my wife,’ and that’s the most logical thing in the

world for a Latin. And I loved being a Latin wife — you get treated very well. There’s a lot of attention in return for that sacrifice.”

She came to films after winning 100-meter freestyle and other races at the 1939 national championships and appearing at the San Francisco World’s Fair’s swimming exhibition.

As with Judy Garland, Donna Reed and other stars, Williams was introduced in one of Mickey Rooney’s Andy Hardy films, “Andy Hardy’s Double Life” (1942).

She also played a small role in “A Guy Named Joe” before “Bathing Beauty” in 1944 began the string of immensely popular musical spectaculars.

Among them: “Thrill of a Romance,” ‘’Fiesta,” ‘’This Time for Keeps,” ‘’On an Island with You,” ‘’Take Me out to the Ballgame,” ‘’Duchess of Idaho,” ‘’Pagan Love Song,” ‘’Texas Carnival,” ‘’Skirts Ahoy,” ‘’Million Dollar Mermaid” (as Annette Kellerman, an earlier swimming champion turned entertainer), “Dangerous When Wet,” ‘’Easy to Love” and “Jupiter’s Darling.”

Williams in a bathing suit became a favorite pinup of GI’s in World War II, and her popularity continued afterward. She was a refreshing presence among MGM’s stellar gallery — warm, breezy, with a frankness and selfdeprecating humor that delighted interviewers.

She laughed as much as anyone over an assessment by Fanny Brice, the original “Funny Girl”: “Esther Williams? Wet, she’s a

star. Dry, she ain’t.”

After leaving MGM, she starred in two Universal dramatic films, “The Unguarded Moment” and “Raw Wind in Eden.” Neither was successful. In 1961 Lamas directed her last film, “The Magic Fountain,” in Spain. It was never released in America.

When she published her autobiography in 1999, she titled it “The Million Dollar Mermaid.”

Esther Jane Williams grew up destined for a career in athletics.

She was born Aug. 8, 1921, in Inglewood, a suburb southwest of Los Angeles, one of five children.

(Some references give a birth year of 1922 or 1923, but she told The Associated Press in 2004 that the correct date was 1921. “I think we ought to just count our blessings,” she said at the time.

“You get old. It happens, but oh, what life we had when we were young.”)

A public pool was not far from the modest home where Williams was raised, and it was there that an older sister taught her to swim.

They saved the 10-cent admission price by counting 100 towels.

When she was in her teens, the Los Angeles Athletic Club offered to train her four hours a day, aiming for the 1940 Olympic Games at Helsinki. In 1939, she won the Women’s Outdoor Nationals title in the 100-meter freestyle, set a record in the 100-meter breaststroke and was a part of several winning relay teams.

But the outbreak of war in Europe that year canceled the 1940 Olympics, and Esther dropped out of competition to earn a living.

She was selling clothes in a Wilshire Boulevard department store when showman Billy Rose tapped her for a bathing beauty job at the World’s Fair in San Francisco.

these people misbehave?

For one thing, anything taboo always has a certain seductive quality, said Jim Taylor, a University of San Francisco professor who has studied reality television.

“Our inner baby wants to have a tantrum or go off on somebody else because they hurt our feelings, but typically in our society that type of behavior is not rewarded,” he said.

For others, the shows are aspirational.

“People fantasize about fame and fortune,” Wiltz said. “It’s interesting to see someone else who is just sort of a regular person become famous.”

That doesn’t mean reality TV is a positive distraction. A growing body of research suggests watching people act like jerks on TV inspires others to be less kind or sympathetic. Call it the Kardashian effect. If TV consistently portrays people as selfish and uncouth, it basically sends the message that such behavior is acceptable and lucrative.

Rec Center offers water fitness classes

By ASHLYN TUBBS Photo Editor

During summer, Lubbock’s dry heat can complicate workout routines for people who prefer exercising outdoors.

Water fitness classes, hosted at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center Aquatic Center and Leisure Pool, combine summer pool time with multiple ways to get in shape.

One available water fitness class option is Cardio Water, which Brooke Downing began instructing last spring semester.

“Especially in the summer, this is a fun way to work out and get tan as well,” said Downing, a sophomore accounting major from Happy. “This is an unique way to exercise, not just in a gym.”

Working out in water is beneficial, she said, especially for people who struggle with knee and joint pain.

“The water is buoyant,” Downing said, “so it takes tension off the joints that are hurting.”

Other water fitness classes offered include a Pre-Natal Fitness class, Aqua Zumba and Deep

Water. Time, date and location information for each class can be found on the Rec website.

Working out at the pool gives people a better incentive to exercise, Downing said, which is the reason her summer cardio water class usually has 20 to 25 people in attendance, an increased number compared to her spring semester classes.

“After people have been at work all day, it’s enjoyable to be in the pool,” she said. “Since the weather is nice and everyone is more relaxed with less busy schedules, it seems like everyone is more carefree in the summer.”

While teaching her cardio water class, Downing said she has noticed something different with her participants compared to other fitness classes she teaches.

“It’s very social,” she said.

“Sometimes, I don’t even have to talk because everyone is getting to know each other.”

Athena Baumann, an administrative business assistant in the Tech Department of Sociology, said she took the cardio water class for the first time Wednesday.

Although she did not know what to expect, she said she will return.

“When someone has knees like I do, this is a good way to get back in an exercise system,” Baumann said, “because it wasn’t too high-speed compared to other classes I’m taking, like Zumba.

This was nice and relaxing, but still exercising.”

Cardio water, Baumann said, is now part of her exercise regiment.

“Getting older is not easy,” she said. “The shallow area in the water makes the exercising not too painful.”

Although many Tech students take the class along with Baumann, she said she is not intimidated by them.

“I just enjoy the class and have nothing to lose,” she said, “just to get back in shape.”

Wednesday also was Dina Barhorst’s first experience with water cardio.

“It was a good variety of different exercises,” she said. “I had never done anything like that before, and I need to do stuff like that more often.”

Barhorst, an unit coordinator for the Health Sciences Center, enjoyed the class so much she wishes it was offered more times instead of just twice a week.

“It’s a good hour of exercising in the water,” she said. “The water makes you feel good since there is less stress on your body.”

Downing said she encourages

more people to come attend her water fitness classes and others offered by the Rec before summer sessions end.

“This is a great workout,” she

said. “It is good to be around other people working out and having fun outside.” ➤➤atubbs@dailytoreador.com

Judge tosses lawsuit by Pa. governor against NCAA HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday threw out the governor’s lawsuit against the NCAA over sanctions against Penn State related to Jerry Sandusky, calling his argument “a Hail Mary pass” that easily warranted dismissal.

U.S. Middle District Judge Yvette Kane’s decision put an early end to the antitrust lawsuit Gov. Tom Corbett

filed in January in which he sought to overturn a $60 million fine, a fouryear bowl ban, scholarship limits and other penalties.

She said she could not “find any factual allegations supporting (Corbett’s) allegation of ‘concerted action’ that might nudge its conspiracy claim into ‘plausible’ territory.”

The NCAA said it was “exceed-

ingly pleased” and hoped the ruling would help heal divisions caused by the Sandusky scandal.

Corbett expressed disappointment and said he feels strongly the claims he raised were compelling and deserved a thorough review by the courts.

“Countless individuals and small businesses throughout the state will continue to suffer because of the

NCAA’s actions,” Corbett said.

The judge wrote that even if the penalties make it harder for Penn State to recruit quality football players, that would not make it an antitrust case.

“The fact that Penn State will offer fewer scholarships over a period of four years does not plausibly support its allegation that the reduction of schol-

arships at Penn State will result in a market-wide anticompetitive effect, such that the ‘nation’s top scholastic football players’ would be unable to obtain a scholarship in the nationwide market for Division I football players,” Kane wrote.

She said the case raises issues that are important matters of public debate but not antitrust questions.

“In another forum the complaint’s appeal to equity and common sense may win the day, but in the antitrust world these arguments fail to advance the ball,” Kane said.

Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, is serving a decades-long prison sentence for sexual abuse of 10 boys. He has maintained his innocence.
