MAKING HISTORY

El Paso artist draws praise for public space works EL PASO (AP) — Mitsu Overstreet never expected to go from painting graffiti and murals on El Paso streets for fun to getting paid to turn public spaces into works of art.

Overstreet, 42, is a graphic designer, illustrator, and muralist beginning to make a name for himself as a public artist.

The El Paso Times reports last year he created a stylized, blue river design now flowing on the floor of the baggageclaim area at the El Paso International Airport with people’s comments about what they like about El Paso on medallions sprinkled throughout the design.

In April, his largest public art design was unveiled in Atlantic City, New Jersey: An impressive, 700-foot mural, made of 27 huge, vinyl and aluminum panels containing Overstreet’s computer-generated sketches of beach and water scenes. It’s wrapped around a mammoth, warehouse-like building along the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk.

It’s part of an Atlantic City beautification and Boardwalk improvement program.

Overstreet said he’s still learning the craft and business of public art. That craft, he said, is figuring out “who’s your audience,” and then creating art to make a place, or space people will remember.

“The Eiffel Tower (in Paris) was a public art installation that was supposed to be temporary for the (1889) world’s fair. But it ended up staying and now it defines that city,” Overstreet said.

“You have to think of public art in that way; what would define this area.

That’s how I chose the river” for the airport floor, he said. “Some people say the border defines the area. But the river (Rio Grande) is actually the thing that probably brought people to this area,” and it’s a positive attribute, he said.

Monica Lombrana, director of aviation at the airport, said all the feedback about Overstreet’s floor design has been positive.

Red Raiders make first trip to College World Series

By EVERETT CORDER SportS editor

When Tim Tadlock was introduced as the new coach for the Texas Tech baseball team in 2012, he said the program was going to work every day with the goal of one day playing at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

After defeating the College of Charleston1-0 in two straight games, Tadlock and his team have reached that goal.

“Right now, I don’t know that it’s really sunk in,” Tadlock said after the Red Raiders series win against the College of Charleston.

“Really just want to move to the next step and start getting ready for the next game.”

Tadlock is only in his second year as the head coach of the Red Raiders, but Tech senior outfielder Devon Conley said he brought a new spirit of competitiveness when he was hired.

“He taught us to work on every pitch and every out,” Conley said. “Win or lose, forget it, leave it and move on to the next one.”

Coming into this year, the Red Raiders had never shut out an opposing team in postseason play, according to Tech Athletics. This year’s postseason has included four shutouts from the Tech pitching staff, including both games against Charleston.

Tadlock credited Tech pitching coach Ray Hayward for the success of the pitchers throughout the season, and said it would not surprise him if a Major League Baseball team wanted to hire Hayward.

“I think you could put (Hayward) in any avenue or company in the world and he’s going to make people better,” he said, “because he’s just that good of a person.”

The closest Charleston came to scoring in the two games against the Red Raiders was in the bottom of the seventh of game two.

Lubbock ranked most boring city

By KAITLIN BAIN Staff Writer

On June 4, Movoto published a survey ranking the most boring cities in America, with Lubbock topping the list for its perceived lack of restaurants, venues and shopping establishments, among other factors.

Nick Johnson, a representative from Movoto, said the survey is based on an algorithm that uses the numbers from many different categories: things to do, venues, restaurants, shopping and amenities to rank the cities tested.

“We looked at the number of things that most people would agree constitute entertainment,” he said. “Some of it were numbers from Yelp, some of it were numbers from the

census data and then we threw it all into our algorithm.”

Things not measured in the survey, he said, are events that don’t happen at a set time every year, or are not available year-round.

Those events include things like sporting events, concerts, festivals and art shows that occur sporadically, he said.

While there are some things that cannot be measured, he said he feels Movoto has gotten a good system going and their surveys include the categories they need to get correct data.

“We’ve done a lot of tweaking over time,” Johnson said. “We’ve been doing this for about a year and when we started we would find we had left out certain categories but make sure to put it for the next one. I think we’ve changed

it enough now, but we’re always open to suggestions to figure out what people think we should do better.”

According to the survey, Lubbock has low population density and has a slightly older population, two factors that played into the numbers behind Lubbock’s low ranking.

Lubbock ranked 58th in nightlife, 73rd in arts per capita, 83rd in music venues per capita, and last in non-fast food restaurants per capita.

Those living in Lubbock are split between their feelings about the ranking.

Zack Brame, a junior electronic media and communication major from Austin, said he agrees with the ranking.

Texas Tech to host an outdoor summer science academy in Junction Texas Tech will be hosting an outdoor summer science academy through the Division of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement, according to a Texas Tech news release.

The five day residential academy hosted on Tech’s Junction campus will allow students beginning the seventh, eighth and ninth grades in the fall of 2014 to advance their skills in science, technology, engineering and math through hands-on experience.

Dr. Heather Martinez, director of the Office of Community Engagement and the Institute for the Development and Enrichment of Advanced Learners, said the purpose in creating the camp was to provide an opportunity for the local students to travel to Junction and not only see the campus, but also to be able to be involved in some of the field experiments in different types of curriculum Junction offers.

“It is such a unique place to be and such a beautiful campus that we thought that taking some of our local students and students from around the area down there and showing them the reach of Texas Tech University and what they could do if they came to school here, it would really enforce the idea of from here it is possible,” Martinez said.

The curriculum that will be offered is mainly field based she said.

Alumnus wins award for outstanding wine

By KAITLIN BAIN Staff Writer

Tech alumnus Grayson Davies would have never guessed he would win the Platinum award from the San Diego International Wine Competition when his parents announced they were started a winery during the summer of 1998.

That’s just what happened in June when his 2012 Roussanne impressed Rich Cook, a wine critic judge for the competition, enough to earn him the award.

“At an international wine competition, wine is graded by experienced tasters by blind tasting,” Davies said. “If the wine meets a certain criteria, it can potentially receive a bronze, silver, gold, platinum or double gold, depending on what the specific competition wants to call it.”

Davies said only a few dozen wines out of thousands will receive the highest honor or platinum.

His wine was chosen, he said, because it represented a Roussanne in an outstanding way: better than normal aroma and taste.

“It’s textbook Roussanne that delights,” Cook said, according to a press release, “with a vivid caramel almond aroma profile that translates directly to flavors on the palate, with great acidity balancing the grape’s typical oily viscosity.

It’s long and quite elegant on the finish.”

The winery did not begin with an award like this, Davies said, but a decision made by his parents in the summer of 1998.

He said his parents picked he and his brother up from summer camp and announced they were going to start a vineyard and a winery that produced wine commercially.

“Now, at the time the whole vineyard and winery thing sounded pretty crazy,” he said, “we didn’t even know about my dad’s previous experience so it seemed out of the blue at first. Turns out my parents went to California and did a wine train and that’s when they decided to go for it and change their careers.”

After the initial decision, he said there was a lot of work that went on before the winery was functional and could being growing grapes and making wine.

The family had the find the land, and ended up six miles north of Saint Jo, Texas, a town about one and a half hours from Plano, he said.

“It just so happened that this land was actually an old abandoned table grape vineyard that had been abandoned for about 15 years,” he said. “So after pulling the remaining table grapes and clearing out all the brambles and oak trees we planted Vinifera varieties.”

Vinifera is a species of grape vines that is only native to Europe and is the kind of grapevines wine is made from, he said.

The family ended up planting 12 acres, Davies said, and used different subspecies, including Chardonnay, Cabernet and Roussanne. Most of the sub-species they planted originate from the hottest part of France, he said, which contributed to their ability to grow well in Texas.

“Our winery is unique because the majority of the wine is made from grapes we grow,” he said, “ and the grapes we don’t grow are still 100 per cent Texas grown which is unique.”

Another thing that makes the winery unique, he said, is the style of wine making that is used.

The wines are more French-style, he said, because of the winemaking and growing practices used which gives it a more old world taste.

Davies said his brother Patrick, a winemaker in California, helps him when he has questions or new ideas, but he also gained a lot of insight into the process and new things to try from his classes at Tech.

“I had some amazing grape growing and wine making professors at Tech that taught me so much and gave me a great foundation to build from,” he said. “There are other schools people in the industry go to, to take classes but Tech’s program was

something special because of the professors and the groundwork in chemistry, biology and horticulture I had to take.”

Davies said there are several ways he hopes this award will affect the winery, including increasing business and spreading the winery’s name among buyers and media.

“Most importantly it gives me a reassurance of my general philosophy and gives me confidence in what I’m doing,” he said. “It reassures the Davies family that it wasn’t such a crazy idea to start this whole thing because we are making world-class wines.”

According to the winery’s website,

just enough for it to land in his glove.

“I honestly don’t know how I caught it,” he said. “It was something crazy. Just kind of in the moment and I came out on top for my team.”

Another big part of the Red Raiders’ first ever super regional win, Tadlock said, was the atmosphere the fans created at Dan Law Field.

More than 4,000 people came to each game during the weekend, and the fans even endured an hour and a half weather delay before the start of Sunday’s game.

“I think (the Red Raiders) out

there deserve this,” Tadlock said.

“The ballpark was packed and we really appreciate everybody coming out.”

This is the Red Raiders’ first trip to the College World Series in program, but Neslony said this is just the beginning for the team.

“This is the start of something new hear at Tech,” he said. “I feel like baseball is getting big. I mean, I’ve never seen this many fans here and it’s just really huge.”

Tech will travel to Omaha this weekend and take on the winner of

the super regional between Texas Christian and Pepperdine at 2 p.m. on Sunday at TD Ameritrade Park.

Tadlock said although the Red Raiders have not been good in a tournament setting so far this season, as long as they just focus on one game at a time they will continue to compete.

“These guys are baseball players,” he said. “We just need to go play game one and understand that it’s an opportunity and accept the challenge.”

Mari Samarripas, section coordinator for the Office of Community Engagement, said the office is excited to to have the opportunity to bring the students to the Junction campus through a camp that

is hosted through the Texas Tech University System.

“In our office we like to give kids a chance to do things that they might otherwise not have the opportunity to do, Samarripas said.

determining what a city has to offer as far at entertainment.

Alyssa Edstrom, a senior from Trophy Club, Texas, said she disagrees with the survey. The public relations major said she thinks there is always something to do in any city as long as the person who wants the entertainment looks for it.

If she had conducted the survey she said she would have talked residents to see what made each city unique.

Johnson said Movoto does not let

others’ negative or positive opinions about the rankings in any survey they produce affect them.

“We do a lot of surveys,” he said.

“They’re an interesting conversation point that help us to get to know them on a different level. The people that get upset and tell us we’re crazy and don’t know what we’re talking about are the same people that tell us we’re awesome when Lubbock ranks high on the list.”

The survey was constructed purely from data, he said, and ranked cities with populations of 200,000 people or more.

Lubbock has been included in other Movoto articles, including being ranked the best city for businesswomen and 29 Things You Need to Know About Lubbock Before Moving There.

“You always want to come in somewhere where you don’t have to bring in talent and go seek it,” she said. “It is already here.”

Gregory said her first order of business when jumping into the position is settling her team.

“They are shaken with the turnover as all programs are shaken, so what I am trying to do first off is just me get in front of them,” she said. “Help them get to know me a little bit; feel my aggressiveness, feel my energy, feel my passion and what I bring to it.”

Following the trend of young coaches, Gregory says she will use her young age as an advantage in her position.

“I think that young people respond to young people, and if you are looking to empower women they will respond to an empowered woman,” she said.

Recruiting will soon go into full force for Gregory as she will pick up where former head coach Shannon Hays left off.

“The power that you have in being a Big 12 school and being a respected university as Texas Tech automatically is going to get a kids attention more so than a different conference or team,” Gregory said.

Gregory spent the past four seasons at Sam Houston State where she was an assistant coach. She was an essential part of making the Bearkats one of the top offensive teams in the country according to the Texas Tech website.

of the sweat the body is producing will cause those outside to feel cooler and not at risk.

This is taking advantage of the body’s natural cooling mechanism, according to the service, and requires extra precautions to be taken even when those outside may not feel like they’re getting too hot.

“Stay out of the heat my scheduling outdoor activities in the early morning,” Babb said. “Wear loosefitting, light-colored clothing. Find or create shade. Drin plenty of water

and avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages. Take frequent breaks from strenuous activity in the heat.”

According to the service, in a normal year about 175 Americans die from extreme heat and between 1936and 1975, almost 20,000 died from the effects of heat and solar radiation, while it is possible for everyone to face the consequences of too much exposure to the heat, Babb said there are specific people that are most at risk for heat-related illnesses.

Young athletes are most at risk

for exertional heat stroke, he said, because they may feel pressure to ignore the warning signs and continue the strenuous activity. Also at risk for classic heat stroke, he said, are older people with chronic health problems.

“You have probably noticed that it is hottest here in the mid to late afternoon,” he said. “If someone feels they have been outside too long they should rest in a cool place and drink plenty of water.”

Some risks from being in the heat

too long, he said, are heat exhaustion, caused by exposure to high temperatures and is a milder form of the illness, heat stroke, is also caused by exposure to high temperatures but can lead to death.

There are two categories of heat stroke, he said, classic and exertional.

Melissa Conrad Stoppler, doctor, said other heat-related illnesses to watch out for are heat rash, heat cramps and heat syncope, or fainting. ➤➤kbain@dailytoreador.com

Obama moves to extend student loan payment relief WASHINGTON (AP) — Aiming to alleviate the burden of student loan debt, President Barack Obama expanded a program Monday that lets borrowers pay no more than 10 percent of their income every month, and threw his support behind more sweeping Senate legislation targeting the issue.

Flanked by student loan borrowers at the White House, Obama said the rising costs of college have left America’s middle class feeling trapped. He put his pen to a presidential memorandum that he said could help an additional 5 million borrowers lower their monthly payments.

“I’m only here because this country gave me a chance through education,” Obama said. “We are here today because we believe that in America, no hard-working young person should be priced out of a higher education.”

An existing repayment plan Obama announced in 2010 lets

borrowers pay no more than 10 percent of their monthly income in payments, but is only available for those who started borrowing after October 2007. Obama’s memo expands that program by making opening it to those who borrowed anytime in the past.

Obama also announced he is directing the government to renegotiate contracts with federal student loan servicers to encourage them to make it easier for borrowers to avoid defaulting on their loans. And he asked Treasury and Education departments to work with major tax preparers, including H&R Block and the makers of TurboTax, to increase awareness about tuition tax credits and flexible repayment options available to borrowers.

“It’s going to make progress, but not enough,” Obama said. “We need more.”

To that end, Obama used the East Room appearance to endorse legislation that would let college

graduates with heavy debts refinance their loans.

The bill’s chief advocate, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, joined a half-dozen other Democratic lawmakers as Obama urged Congress to pass the bill.

“This should be a no-brainer,” Obama said.

The Senate is expected to debate the legislation next week, but it faces significant opposition from Republicans, who disagree with the Democrats’ plan for how to pay for it.

The dual strategy — taking executive action while urging Congress to finish the job — has become Obama’s signature playbook this year. Stymied by gridlock as Congress marches toward the midterm elections, he has repeatedly sought ways to go around Congress with modest steps.

Under an income-based repayment plan created by Congress, the maximum monthly payment is

already set to drop from 15 percent of income to 10 percent in July 2014. But that plan only affects new borrowers. Obama’s “Pay as You Earn” plan uses another part of existing law to offer similar benefits to people who already borrowed to finance their education.

In previous Obama budgets, the White House has predicted that making the plan retroactive would cost the federal government billions of dollars in the early years. Asked about the costs Monday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said the administration won’t know how much it will cost until they go through the rule-making process to put the expansion in place.

“We actually don’t know the costs yet,” Duncan said. “We’ll figure that out on the back end.”

Republican leaders in Congress have faulted Obama’s steps on loan repayments for failing to address the root cause: college costs that are too high.

Sexual assault on student sparks outrage in Egypt CAIRO (AP) — A string of sexual assaults on women during celebrations of Egypt’s presidential inauguration — including a mass attack on a 19-year-old student who was stripped in Cairo’s Tahrir Square — prompted outrage Monday as a video emerged purportedly showing the teenager, bloodied and naked, surrounded by dozens of men.

Seven men were arrested in connection with the assault and police were investigating 27 other complaints of sexual harassment against women during Sunday’s rallies by tens of thousands of people celebrating Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s inauguration late into the night, security officials said.

Sexual violence has increasingly plagued large gatherings during the past three years of turmoil following the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat

Hosni Mubarak, and women’s groups complained Monday that tough new laws have not done enough.

Twenty-nine women’s rights groups released a joint statement accusing the government of failing do enough to address the spiraling outbreak of mob attacks on women.

The groups said they had documented more than 250 cases of “mass sexual rape and mass sexual assaults” from November 2012 to January 2014.

“Combatting that phenomena requires a comprehensive national strategy,” said the statement signed by the women’s groups.

Last week, authorities issued a decree declaring sexual harassment a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. The decree amended Egypt’s current laws on abuse, which did not criminalize sexual harassment and only vaguely referred to such offenses

as “indecent assault.”

Sexual harassment has been one of Egypt’s enduring social ills, embedded in the country’s patriarchal conservative culture, where women are seen as inferior to men. Movies often portray women as sex objects, leaving them vulnerable to men who feel empowered by the absence of a strong legal deterrent.

Sexual assaults have increased dramatically in ferocity and in number in the three years since Mubarak’s ouster, with Tahrir square, birthplace of the 2011 uprising, the site of multiple sexual attacks on women amid the large crowds.

In the latest incident, video footage posted on social media purportedly shows the student completely naked amid a crowd of men, parts of her body bloodied as policemen struggled to escort her out of Tahrir. The video

appeared authentic and was consistent with AP reporting of the incident.

Seven men were arrested in connection with the attack on the student, who was hospitalized, said the officials. They did not elaborate on her condition and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

The Interior Ministry, in charge of police, identified the seven suspects and gave their ages as between 15 and 49. It said they were arrested for “harassing several girls” but made no mention of the student. A policeman was injured while the seven were being arrested, the ministry added.

Authorities investigating other reports of sexual assaults were examining a dozen videos from security cameras or from bystanders who filmed the incidents on their mobile phones, the officials said.

Cuba: 8 arrested in school exam cheating scandal HAVANA (AP) — Eight people are under arrest in connection with a scandal involving the illicit sale of university entrance exams, Cuban authorities said Monday after thousands of high school students were forced to retake the test.

The unnamed suspects include five teachers, a methodologist, an employee at the Ministry of Higher Education’s printer’s office and a person not linked to the education sector. There was no word on possible criminal charges, but prosecutors were collecting evidence to

present to the courts.

“It has been confirmed ... that the leaked materials were unscrupulously commercialized by the five teachers implicated, some of whom sold the exams while others reviewed the content with the students, charging for the service,” Monday’s announcement said.

The investigation into the scandal has been a fixture in state media for weeks, and the announcement called it a “matter of great sensitivity.”

In a signal of how seriously officials are taking the case, the message was

signed by three Cabinet ministries including Interior — the arm of government that oversees policing and state security.

Education, which is universal and free including the university level, is considered sacrosanct as one of the “pillars” of Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution.

However stories of teachers selling grades to augment their meager salaries are relatively common, if not widely publicized. There have also been past incidents of final exams leaking out prior to the test day.

But this is the first time authorities have made such a fuss about it — apparently in hopes of discouraging others by making an object lesson of the suspects.

“The final results of (the investigation) will be made public in a timely manner, since such acts, which attack the prestige of our educational system, will never go unpunished and will always be repudiated by our teachers, parents and students,” the ministries’ note said.

Current President Raul Castro’s government has waged a wider crackdown on corruption that has swept up dozens of Cuban officials and executives, as well as a number of foreign businesspeople.

Shortly after the nationwide exam was given early last month, rumors began circulating that the math, language and history sections had all been on sale beforehand for about $60 per subject.

Authorities publicly acknowledged the scandal May 20, nullifying the results for thousands of students in Havana and obliging them to take a replacement test six days later.

Twin 18-year-old sisters Lili and Rocio Garcia, who spent four months preparing for the test, said the make-up was noticeably more difficult.
