CHANGE Red Raider football players moving forward to 2017 season

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

As the Texas Tech football team starts training camp, the Red Raiders are looking to put the past behind them and focus on the upcoming 2017 season.

The team ended the 2016 season with an overall record of 5-7, a home record of 3-3 and an away record of 1-4, according to Tech Athletics. The Red Raiders also struggled against Big 12 opponents with a conference record of 3-6.

Changes and improvements are a huge point of emphasis for this Red Raider squad moving forward. For junior offensive lineman Paul Stawarz, he said part of the improvements made to the 2017 team is putting more work in on the field and off.

“I want us to play really hard.

That’s something we’re always trying to do and something that we can always work harder on,” Stawarz said. “Overall, from last season we’ve grown as a unit. The way we communicate has really improved.

I really expect us to build off that this season.”

Senior offensive lineman Tony

Morales said the biggest difference between last season and this season is the strength on the offensive side of the ball.

He said the offensive lineman are stronger than ever and that will make a difference come September.

“We got a lot stronger as a team during the offseason, that’s a big difference,” Morales said. “I give all the credit to our training staff. I feel like we’ll be bigger and stronger on the field this year.”

The Red Raiders are known for their high-powered offense. Last season, the Tech defense was ranked No. 128 in the nation, the lowest ranking a defense can have, according to the NCAA website. The defense gave up a total of 6,652 yards and allowed 68 opposing touchdowns.

The reason for the less than spectacular defensive showings by the Red Raiders was the inability to be on the same page, junior defensive back Kisean Allen said. The defense has focused on communication and becoming a more cohesive unit in order to stop opponents from gaining as many yards as last season.

“We play more as a unit, which we stressed on this spring,” Allen

After finishing the 2016 season 5-7, the Red Raiders are making changes to improve this season. said. “We’re all on one page. It’s hard to have a successful defense when linebackers are doing one thing and defensive backs are doing another thing. So, that’s what we’re focused on this year is coming together as a defense.”

It is not just the defense who lacked the ability to effectively communicate, but the offense as well.

Morales said coach Brandon Jones is a huge factor in why the offensive line will be quicker, smarter and on

the same page.

“I feel like coach (Brandon) Jones has done a great job coming in,” Morales said. “One of the things he wanted to do is make the game a lot simpler for us and I feel like he has. Throughout the spring and the summer, he’s made our offensive line stronger and everyone’s on the same page.”

Changes have been made on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, but Allen said the players are

embracing these changes to have a season.

“We have really come together as a team, it’s definitely different than last year,” Allen said. “Tech has always been an offense powered school and Kliff has done a great job this spring focusing on the defense and pushing us like he does the offense. It’s no more just defense and just offense anymore, it’s the Red Raiders.” @ABoutwellDT

Tech Physicians raise money for Food Bank

By MARYBETH HOLM Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Physicians at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center celebrated the end of their annual Christmas in July Food Drive by donating $33,500 in meals for families to the South Plains Food Bank.

Their contributions included $7,538 in monetary donations and 2,928 pounds of canned goods.

Brent Magers, the executive associate dean and CEO of the medical practice income plan at HSC thanked the faculty and staff for their effort to support the local community.

“Even in 2017, still a lot of people in our community are hungry,” Magers said.

The South Plains Food Bank serves 20 counties in

Each month, the nonprofit serves more than 9,000 families, according to

a HSC news release.

However, with many children at home during the summer months, food is hard to come by, and the South

Plains Food Bank relies on donations from others. This inspired Texas Tech Physicians to create the Christmas in July Fundraiser, Tech

Physicians Surgery administrator Matt Driskill said.

“A lot of the kids are home from school in the summer months, and they usually get food at school,” Driskill said. “Well, they’re not in school, and they need food at home.”

At the end of the fundraiser, Tech Physicians host a carnival-themed party for HSC faculty and students.

At the event, a check is presented to the food bank and the departments that raised and collected the most are recognized.

The fundraiser not only benefitted the South Plains community but the HSC community as well, Driskill said.

Each department competed against each other to see who could bring in the most canned goods and raise the most money.

“It increases the cama-

raderie between the staff,” Driskill said. “It’s the Texas Tech physicians and residents and faculty who made this possible.”

The Orthopedics department won for most cash donations, the OB/GYN department won for most pounds of food donated and the Neurology department won for combined pounds and cash donations based on full-time employees. The departments were awarded free Einstein’s Bagels to their office for two weeks.

Landry Blake, who works in the internal medicine department, said the Christmas in July Food Drive brings all of HSC together. “(This event) gives us a reason to come out here and talk,” Blake said. “Not a lot of other jobs I’ve had do this kind of thing.” @DailyToreador

Venezuela defiant Rescued Animals Second Chances as US moves to focuses efforts on large animals sanction president

By PAYTON ROBB Staff Writer

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela’s socialist government on Monday claimed a popular mandate to dramatically recast the country’s political system even as condemnations of the process poured in from governments around the world and the opposition at home.

The United States added President Nicolas Maduro to a steadily growing list of high-ranking Venezuelan officials targeted by financial sanctions, escalating a tactic that has so far failed to alter the Venezuelan government’s behavior.

The Trump administration backed away from earlier threats to sanction Venezuela’s oil industry — a move that could undermine Maduro’s government but raise U.S. gas prices and deepen Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis.

Electoral authorities said more than 8 million people voted Sunday to create a constitutional assembly endowing Maduro’s ruling party with virtually

unlimited powers — a figure widely disputed by independent analysts.

The official result would mean the ruling party won more support than it had in any national election since 2013, despite a cratering economy, spiraling inflation, shortages of medicine and malnutrition.

Opinion polls showed 85 percent of Venezuelans disapproved of the constitutional assembly and similar numbers disapprove of Maduro’s overall performance.

Independent analysts and opposition leaders estimated the real turnout at less than half the government’s claim in a vote watched by governmentallied observers but no internationally recognized poll monitors.

Opposition leader Henrique Capriles, the governor of the central state of Miranda, urged Venezuelans to protest Monday against an assembly that critics fear will effectively create a single-party state.

The Rescued AnimalsSecond Chance shelter has one mission — to make abused and neglected animals feel wanted again.

RASC is a no-kill animal shelter that promotes animal welfare through rescue, shelter, medical care, rehabilitation, and adoption placement of unwanted, neglected and abused animals. The shelter puts an emphasis on helping large animals in need. Currently, the shelter houses about 80 animals.

“We focus on taking care of the mentally and physically abused horses and large dogs,” main volunteer Kippra Hopper said. “They

have mostly been starved and beaten. They are all sad cases.”

Some of the animals are found on the streets or in other shelters. However, most of the horses are obtained from kill pens, Hopper said.

When the shelter gets a call about a horse who is about to be sent to a kill pen or put down, the shelter will go buy the horse to save it, Hopper said.

“Because we are a no-kill shelter, we will never put down an animal,” Hopper said. “We try to nurse them back to health and make them adoptable, but some of them will stay with us for the rest of their lives.”

The shelter was founded

by Deby and Diane Nichols.

They sit on the organization’s board along with Dr. Beth Nickels.

“Dr. Nickels is probably the most fascinating part of this operation,” Hopper said. “She is a surgeon at Swat Surgical Associates and works with the shelter in her free time. She slowly gets the horses and dogs to trust her and to believe that she will take care of them.”

RASC was established as a non-profit organization in 2013, but Dr. Nickels has been making a difference in animal welfare since 2007.

“We receive all of our funds through fundraisers,” Hopper said. “Right now, we are in the middle of a GoFundMe on Facebook. The website is

www.gofundme.com/rescueanimals-second-chance.”

Most of the animals are not ready to be adopted when they first come in because of the shape they are in, but RASC is trying to change that.

“Because most of the animals have been so abused, it is not safe for them to be adopted,” Hopper said. “It is an on-going rehabilitation to get them to trust humans again. We want them to learn that they will be fed and will be taken care of.”

Anthony Scaramucci out of job, John Kelly takes charge WASHINGTON (AP) — Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House communications director after just 11 days on the job — and just hours after former Gen. John Kelly took over as President Donald Trump’s new chief of staff.

Hoping to turn the page on a tumultuous opening chapter to his presidency, Trump had insisted earlier Monday that there was “no chaos” in his White House as he swore in the retired Marine general as his second chief of staff.

Not long after, Scaramucci, who shocked many with a profane outburst last week against then-chief of staff Reince Priebus, was gone.

In the words of the White House announcement, he was leaving because he “felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team.” The threesentence release concluded, “We wish him all the best.”

The statement about Scaramucci’s departure used the same “clean slate” language that departing press secretary

Sean Spicer used to describe his reason for resigning on July 21 — the day Trump brought Scaramucci aboard.

Spicer was at the White House on Monday, saying he was assisting with the communications transitions.

As the Scaramucci news spread, Kelly was in the East Room smiling and taking pictures with guests who were gathering for a Medal of Honor presentation.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump felt that Scaramucci’s profanity-laced comments against Priebus “were inappropriate for a person in that position” of White House communications director.

The president had not publicly expressed disapproval of those comments in the days after they became public.

Sanders added that Kelly has “the full authority to operate within the White House and that all staff will report to him,” a change from Priebus’ tenure.

Earlier, in an Oval Office ceremony, Trump predicted

Kelly, who previously served as Homeland Security chief, would do a “spectacular job.”

And the president chose to highlight the rising stock market and positive jobs outlook rather than talk about how things might need to change in his White House under Kelly.

Trump on Friday ousted Priebus as chief of staff and turned to Kelly, who he hopes will bring military discipline to an administration weighed down by a stalled legislative agenda, infighting among West Wing aides and a stack of investigations.

Scaramucci’s brief tenure shoved internal White House disputes into the open. In media interviews, he trashed Priebus as a “leaker” and senior White House aide Steve Bannon as a self-promoter.

One of Scaramucci’s first — and it turns out only — acts was to force out a communications aide seen as loyal to Priebus.

Spicer, Priebus and Bannon had all objected to Trump’s decision to hire Scaramucci,

who would have reported directly to the president.

While Trump is looking for a reset, he pushed back against criticism of his administration with this tweet: “Highest Stock Market EVER, best economic numbers in years, unemployment lowest in 17 years, wages raising, border secure, S.C.: No WH chaos!”

In fact, economic growth averaged 2 percent in the first half of this year, a pace Trump railed against as a candidate and promised to lift to 3 percent. The stock market first hit a record under President Barack Obama and has kept growing. The unemployment rate, too, started to decline on Obama’s watch. And wage gains have been weak.

Trump on Monday convened his first Cabinet meeting with Kelly at his side, telling his team it is “doing incredibly well” and “starting from a really good base.”

On how he would deal with rising tensions with North Korea, Trump said only: “It will be handled.”

Arpaio convicted after refusing to end immigrant patrols PHOENIX (AP) — Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio was convicted of a criminal charge Monday for refusing to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants, marking a final rebuke for a politician who once drew strong popularity from such crackdowns but was ultimately booted from office as voters became frustrated over his headlinegrabbing tactics and deepening legal troubles.

The federal judge’s verdict represents a victory for critics who voiced anger over Arpaio’s unusual efforts to get tough on crime, including jail-

ing inmates in tents during triple-digit heat, forcing them to wear pink underwear and making hundreds of arrests in crackdowns that divided immigrant families. Arpaio is vowing to appeal.

Arpaio, who spent 24 years as the sheriff of metro Phoenix, skirted two earlier criminal investigations of his office. But he wasn’t able to avoid legal problems when he prolonged his signature immigration patrols for nearly a year and a half after a different judge ordered him to stop. That judge later ruled they racially profiled Latinos.

Trump’s message to police frightening, not factual

I

n this country there is a false narrative of extreme violence that coerces everyday citizens into thinking there are threats at every corner they turn.

By overthinking means of protection, a more hostile environment is created warranting extreme actions against those who we think are a threat. This narrative has been further pushed by people who we have elected, more so the ones with a politically right inclination, but also those on the left.

This display of falsehoods was highlighted late last week when President Donald Trump addressed law enforcement officers at Suffolk Community College in Selden, New York. Trump climbed onto his soapbox to revile criminals in the United States, speaking on subjects such as gang violence, immigrants and most concerning, treatment of the detained.

He sang for his audience a rhapsody of a violent America that has been taken over by vicious immigrants whose sole purpose is to create crime throughout the streets.

By implication his message was: those who cross the border into the U.S. are committing massive amounts of crime and law enforcement must be just as violent.

Michael Cantu is a senior electronic media and communications major from New Deal.

What was more concerning than Trump’s speech was the reaction from the officers behind him. His calls for more violence against detainees was not welcome with an overwhelming sense of zeal but there was a good number of visible officers who showed great enthusiasm for his call to treat those arrested with little respect.

“When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you see them thrown in rough, I said, ‘please, don’t be too nice,’” Trump said to his audience.

“Like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody. I said, ‘you can take the hand away, OK.’” It is the call for more violence against those arrested that will lead to nothing but an increased negative view of law enforcement. If officers go around socking the lights out of people they detain, there is going to be very little people left who will be willing to speak to them, much less respect them.

His advice for law enforcement is laced with a

poisonous mindset. Police are already having trouble garnering the respect and willingness of citizens. Trump is only making that worse.

It is the call for more violence against those arrested that will lead to nothing but an increased negative view of law enforcement.

Pew Research has reported that one-in-five police officers feel angry and frustrated on the job. Surveys found officers who frequently feel angry by their jobs are twice as likely to say they have a reason to distrust people. By that same token, they are also more likely to use physical force towards other people, according to Pew Research.

Tr u m p ’s t e n d e n t i o u s speech promotes more police on citizen violence, which in time will become less warranted and more destructive.

What the president fails to mention is the violent crime rate has gone down significantly. Violent crime has fallen drastically since 1993,

from more than 740,000 occurrences to around 370,000, according to Pew Research.

The organization also cites public perception does not align with the statistics.

People believe the country is more violent than it is, which is unfortunate.

But the blame for that mindset is obvious. It is people like Trump, who are so disillusioned from experiences in a different time they fail to grasp the concept that people just are not as violent as they used to be.

Granted, in Trump’s case, his early years in New York City were filled with high crime rates and disrespect to the rule of law. But times

have changed and it is time for Trump and his people to start looking at the data, and not just say what it is they think.

The fact of the matter is, much of what Trump has to say is held up by mirth, not data. People are willing to cling onto his lamentations because they feel there is a sense of truth to it, even though there is not.

The population of immigrants coming to the U.S. from the south has dropped significantly, crime is on a downward spiral and so is respect towards law enforcement. It is time now for the president to take into account what the facts are and pres-

ent it to the people of the United States. A point needs to be made that just because he thinks or says something does not mean it is true.

I encourage the president, his cabinet members and his supporters to reevaluate their messages to people. It is time we stop presenting the message that the U.S. is a crumbling, crime-ridden nation-state.

That is not to say there is no crime, but rather it is not as bad as we think and with some encouragement everyone can work toward a better view of citizens and the police. @MichaelCantuDT

Sanders says Trump joking about police brutality WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House defended President Donald Trump’s recent remarks that police shouldn’t be too nice when transporting suspects, saying Monday that the president was “making a joke.”

He said some officers are too courteous to suspected criminals when arresting them.

Texas Tech sophomore Cara Barker celebrates after she putts it in during the 17th hole of the NCAA Lubbock Regional on May 8 ath The Rawls Course. The Lady Raiders’ 2017-18 golf schedule, released on Monday, features 12 regular season tournaments.

The 2017-18 season for the Texas Tech women’s golf team will start on Sept. 11 at the Jim West Challenge.

The season consists of 12 regular season tournaments concluded with the Big 12 Championship from April 20-22 at the Dallas Athletic Club, according to a Tech Athletics news release. Tech has the possibility of reaching its eighth NCAA Regional selection at the end of the season under coach JoJo Robertson, who is on her ninth season with the Lady Raiders.

“We are very excited about this year’s schedule,” Robertson said in the release. “We have the chance to stay close to home during the fall and play some great events all in Texas. We have added some

new tournaments for the spring that we are looking forward to playing. I think our schedule takes us to some great courses and will give us the chance to compete against several strong teams.”

The fall section of the season has four tournaments in Texas. After the Jim West Challenge, Tech will go compete in the Betsy Rawls Invitational from Oct. 9-10 in Austin. The Lady Raiders will also participate in the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational from Oct. 22-24 in San Antonio and the Trinity Forest Invitational from Oct. 30-31 in Dallas, according to the release.

The spring section of the season will start in February with the Lady Raiders participating in the Puerto

Rico Classic from Feb. 11-13 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to the release. Tech will then travel to Houston for the Dickson Invitational from Feb. 26-27. Then, the Lady Raiders will participate in the Entrada Classic from March 12-13 in St. George, Utah, the Briar’s Creek Invitational from March 19-20 in Charleston and the Bruzzy Challenge from April 1-2 in Dallas.

To wrap up April, Tech will participate in the Dale McNamara Invitational from April 9-10 in Tulsa and the Lady Boilermaker Invitational on April 14. Both the Bruzzy Challenge and the Dale McNamara Invitational are new to the spring section of the schedule, according to the release.

Four Lady Raiders return from last season which includes seniors Gabby Barker and Lauren Mason. Barker was the 2016 Big 12 Player of the Year and is currently in the running for LPGA player Kim Kaufman’s Tech record for career scoring average.

Kaufman had an average of 73.0 strokes per round from 2009-13. Barker currently has an average of 73.4 strokes per round, according to the release.

Juniors Mami Yamamoto and Emma Ballard will also be returning alongside sophomore Sofia Garcia. Freshman Louisa Brunt will also be making her debut on the team in the fall as one of the top amateur player from England. @JackDensmore_DT

AL West-leading Astros get lefty Liriano from Blue Jays

NL West-leading Dodgers get Texas ace Yu Darvish

HOUSTON (AP) — The AL West-leading Houston Astros have acquired lefty Francisco Liriano from the Toronto Blue Jays, adding him to a rotation that’s been banged up this season.

The Astros traded outfielders Nori Aoki and Teoscar Hernandez on Monday for Liriano.

The 33-year-old Liriano is 6-5 with a 5.88 ERA in 18 starts this season. He is expected to join the Astros on Tuesday.

Houston, which owns the best record in the AL, put righty Lance McCullers on the 10-day disabled list Monday with back discomfort. Ace Dallas Keuchel and Collin McHugh recently came off the DL.

Aoki hit .272 with 19 RBIs in 71 games in his first season with Houston.

Hernandez spent most of the season at Triple-A Fresno, where he hit .279 with 12 homers and 44 RBIs.

ARLINGTON (AP) — The loaded Los Angeles Dodgers made a late trade for Texas ace Yu Darvish on Monday, their boldest move in pursuit of a World Series crown that’s eluded them for nearly 30 years.

The runaway NL West leaders, already with the best record in the majors and the highest payroll, acquired the 6-foot-5 right-hander from Japan for three minor league players in a deal Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said was completed in the last 10 minutes before the non-waiver trade deadline.

“It’s an honor to be wanted by the team,” Darvish said through his translator, adding that he had “nothing but appreciation” for his time in Texas.

Darvish was an All-Star this year for the fourth time in his five seasons playing for the Rangers. He joined Texas before the 2012 season, and missed all of 2015 after elbow surgery. In 22 starts this season, he is 6-9 with a 4.01 ERA. In 122 starts overall for the Rangers, he was 52-39 with a 3.42 ERA and 960 strikeouts over 782 2-3 innings. But the pitcher who turns 31 on Aug. 16 was 0-5 with a 5.81 ERA in his last eight starts.

He was tagged by the Miami Marlins for a career-worst 10 runs last Wednesday, and later revealed he was tipping his pitches.

Rangers manager Jeff Banister said he wished Darvish luck and challenged him to do something memorable.

“There were times where he was just dominating as we’ve seen previously with the fastball, the swing-andmiss slider, the sinker, the split, slow curve,” Banister

said. “He’s going to wipe out hitters on days when his stuff is there. You’re going to sit back and watch, and marvel just what he does.”

In return for the ace that initially cost the Rangers more than $107 million to acquire, Los Angeles sent them second baseman/outfielder Willie Calhoun, right-hander A.J. Alexy and infielder Brendon Davis to the Rangers.

After the Rangers had to pay $51,703,411 to his team in Japan, they gave the pitcher a $56 million, six-year contract.

Darvish got a call from his agent right before Monday’s 4 p.m. EDT deadline for making trades without waivers.

“I was mentally prepared for the announcement,” said Darvish, though only minutes before that he had tweeted a picture of himself wearing a Rangers cap while at his locker.

Dodgers rookie first baseman Cody Bellinger tweeted a greeting to Darvish even before the deal was official.

Daniels said his team wanted to capitalize on the opportunity to add three talented young players. The GM said Darvish wasn’t dealt because of the possibility that he wouldn’t re-sign during the offseason.

“It really didn’t play any role at all,” Daniels said. “We know that if you don’t sign your own free agent by opening day usually he’s going to test the market. ... I don’t feel like the odds really changed a whole lot.”

When asked if he would consider returning to Texas in free agency, Darvish said he would have to wait and see during the offseason. He said he would be willing to talk to all teams.
