Community comes together for suicide prevention walk

By ALYSSA ACOSTA Staff Writer

Hundreds of students, alumni and community members came out on Sunday afternoon at Urbanovsky Park to help raise money and awareness for suicide prevention.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Lubbock Out of the Darkness Walk started off with the releasing of blue and yellow balloons, each one representing a life lost to suicide.

The goal of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is to raise awareness and funds for new research and educational programs, advocate public policy and support those affected by suicide, Amber Stafford, co-chair for the Lubbock

Out of the Darkness Walk, said.

“This walk is bringing people together who have lost loved ones, friends, family members to suicide,” Stafford said. “It also raises money to help raise awareness and implement programs in colleges and high schools.”

Stafford, who lost her brother to suicide at the age of 14, said even though 20 years have passed, she still feels emotional when sharing her story. It took her family a while to participate in suicide prevention causes and use its story to help others. “(American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) is definitely a labor of love,” Stafford said. “It took my family a long time to get involved, but now that we are, it is such a blessing.”

Last year, the funds raised at the walk were put toward the Interactive

Screening Program at the Texas Tech Student Counseling Center. The ISP was first directed toward veteran students, then applied with the students of the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering.

Klint Hobbs, assistant director at the Student Counseling Center, said the ISP benefits students by targeting those in desperate need of help, but would typically not seek help on their own.

“We implemented the ISP in 2015, with the funds raised from last year’s walk,” Mariah Williams, chair of Lubbock Out of the Darkness Walk and Tech alumna, said. “The walk is an amazing event, but it is not just an event. We actually implement programs locally.”

Petroleum professors discuss fracking

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

Fracking is at the heart of the U.S. energy revolution, but its detractors say it can have harmful effects on the environment.

“Hydraulic fracturing is a type of drilling that has been used by oil companies for over 65 years,” Marshall Watson, associate professor of petroleum engineering, said. “In Texas, over 444,000 jobs are sustained by drilling in just the Permian Basin.”

hydraulic fracturing, is a drilling technique that involves drilling down into the ground and breaking large pieces of rock or shale with pressurized liquid, Watson said. This process is used to collect both oil and natural gas.

“Nowhere in the world is natural gas as cheap as it is in the U.S.,” Watson said. “We owe that to fracking. Natural gas is used to produce electricity, and our output is so great that we actually now export natural gas to other countries.”

Yet questions have been raised about possible health concerns related to fracking.

Improper waste disposal, groundwater contamination and earthquakes have allegedly been tied to fracking operations, according to The New York Times.

“Fracking absolutely does not cause earthquakes,” Watson said. “Any seismic activity due to underground fissures would require days of continuous water blasting, not the few short hours most fracturing operations take. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency has never linked any groundwater contamination to hydraulic fracturing.”

Hydraulic fracturing has an outstandingly positive effect on the U.S. economy, Watson said. It has led to the exportation of natural gas, virtual energy independence for all of U.S. and the sustainment of millions of jobs across the country and billions of dollars in economic output.

Because the Permian Basin contributes to more than $60.2 billion to Texas’ gross state product, the outlawing of fracking, which has been a point of protest for many, will have disastrous consequences for the state and the country’s economies, Watson said.

“If the middle east were to ever cut us off from their oil supply, at this point it wouldn’t matter that much,” Hossein Emadibaladehi, an assistant professor of petroleum engineering, said. “Hydraulic fracturing can also be used to reinvigorate new production from old wells, so it really is revolutionary in its practice.”

The production of oil and shale gas will continue to grow over the next 10 years, Emadibaladehi said. If oil companies take the proper precautions before drilling,

there should be no environmental issues with fracking, and that is typically the case.

“One of the big reasons why gas prices are relatively low at the moment is because of the fracking boom,” he said. “The number of natural gas wells in the U.S. has almost doubled in the past 10 years. Every year we add about 13,000 new wells.”

The oil and gas industry

is one of the most heavily regulated in the country. The U.S. Energy Information Administration closely monitors the amount of water used at each drill site and the proximity of shale to stores of groundwater, Emadibaladehi said. The EIA also takes into account any variables that could possibly be hazardous to the ecology of the region.

“When compared to nu-

clear energy, natural gas is far cleaner and less hazardous,” Emadibaladehi said.

“Nuclear energy plants have had catastrophic failures in the past, and that’s had a far greater impact on the environment and well-being of people living nearby than fracking has had in America.

That’s the alternative we’re looking at.” @ReeceNationsDT

Bank to relocate Stabbing in Minnesota investigated as terror act to downtown ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — A man in a private security uniform stabbed nine people at a Minnesota shopping mall, reportedly asking one victim if he or she was Muslim before an off-duty police officer shot and killed him in an attack the Islamic State group claimed as its own.

None of the nine people who were stabbed in Saturday night’s attack received lifethreatening wounds, St. Cloud police Chief Blair Anderson said. He said it doesn’t appear that anyone else was involved in the attack at the Crossroads Center in St. Cloud, which began at around 8 p.m. and was over within minutes.

At a news conference Sunday, FBI Special Agent-inCharge Rick Thornton said the attack was being investigated as a possible act of terrorism and that agents were still digging into the attacker’s background and possible motives.

Authorities were looking at social media accounts and the attacker’s electronic devices, and talking to his associates,

Thornton said.

An Islamic State-run news agency, Rasd, claimed Sunday that the attacker was a “soldier of the Islamic State” who had heeded the group’s calls for attacks in countries that are part of a U.S.-led anti-IS coalition.

It was not immediately clear if the extremist group had planned the attack or even knew about it beforehand. IS has encouraged so-called “lone wolf” attacks.

It has also claimed past attacks that are not believed to have been planned by its central leadership.

Authorities didn’t identify the attacker, but the Star Tribune of Minneapolis said the man’s father identified him as Dahir A. Adan, 22.

Speaking to the newspaper through an interpreter, Ahmed Adan, whose family is Somali, said his son was born in Africa and had lived in the U.S. for 15 years.

A spokesman for St. Cloud State University confirmed that Adan was a student there, but has not been enrolled since the spring semester. Spokesman Adam Hammer said Adan’s intended major was information systems, which is a computer-related field.

Ahmed Adan said police told him around 9 p.m. Saturday that his son had died at the mall, and that police had raided the family’s apartment, seizing photos and other materials. He said police said nothing to him about the mall attack,

and that he had “no suspicion” that his son had been involved in terrorist activity, the newspaper reported.

Anderson said police had had three previous encounters with the attacker, mostly for minor traffic violations.

According to Anderson, the attacker, dressed in a security uniform and wielding what appeared to be a kitchen knife, began attacking people right after entering the mall, stabbing people in several spots inside the building, including corridors, businesses and common areas.

Five minutes after authorities received the first 911 call, Jason Falconer, a part-time officer in the city of Avon, shot and killed the attacker. Anderson said Falconer fired as the attacker was lunging at him with the knife, and continued to engage him as the attacker got up three times.

“He clearly prevented additional injuries and potential loss of life,” Anderson said. “Officer Falconer was there at the right time and the right place,” he said.

Anderson earlier said the man reportedly made at least one reference to Allah and asked a victim if he or she was Muslim before attacking them.

Leaders of the Somali community in central Minnesota united to condemn the stabbings. They said the suspect does not represent the larger Somali community, and they expressed fear about backlash over the attack.

Beaches reopened after pipebomb blast in NJ SEASIDE PARK, N.J. (AP) — Jersey Shore beaches were reopened Sunday as an investigation continued into a pipe bomb explosion at a seaside community before thousands of runners were to participate in a charity 5K race to benefit Marines and sailors.

Officials would not say if they believe the Saturday afternoon blast in Seaside Park was terror-related, but said it didn’t appear to be connected to an explosion that rocked a crowded Manhattan neighborhood Saturday night, injuring 29 people.

They said each bomb contained different materials, but added that they weren’t ruling anything out yet. The New Jersey device contained evidence of a black powder.

Special Agent Michael Whitaker, a spokesman for the FBI office in Newark, said state and federal investigators were still canvassing the Seaside Park area Sunday and conducting interviews. He said travel restrictions imposed after the blast had been lifted.

He declined further comment, citing the ongoing investigation. New Jersey state police also wouldn’t comment and referred questions about

the blast to the FBI. Appearing Sunday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” with Jake Tapper, Gov. Chris Christie said state police had “some promising leads” but no suspects. The Republican governor said people should not jump to conclusions about who may be responsible for the blast or what the motive was.

Christie said that by his own definition, he personally considered the blasts “terrorism” as well as a knife attack at a Minnesota mall.

No injuries were reported in the seaside explosion.

The race had been scheduled to start shortly before the blast occurred, but was delayed due to the large numbers of people registering for the race and reports of an unattended backpack being found.

Officials noted that if the race had started on time, a “good number of people” would have been running past the area where the explosion occurred.

“The fortunate thing here in New Jersey is that no one was injured,” Christie said.

“We pray for those people who were injured in those other attacks.”

Books named finalists in literary awards

By NYDIA NATIVIDAD Staff Writer

Two Texas Tech University Press publications will be recognized at the Women Writing in the West Conference for being finalists in the WILLA Literary awards. The publications being recognized are “Chasm” by Susan Cummins Miller and “Mysteries of Love and Grief” by Sandra Scofield.

The WILLA Literary Award is named after Pulitzer Prize winner Willa Cather, John Brock, marketing manager for TTU Press, said. The award is presented annually for literature that features

stories of women set in the west. The authors for the awards are chosen by a board of professional librarians.

The Women Writing in the West Conference will be hosted in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from Oct. 13 to Oct. 16. Winners and finalists are announced before the conference, but are still recognized during the conference, Brock said.

“It’s especially gratifying given that the WILLA Awards shine a spotlight on strong female characters,” Miller said.

“Chasm” is the sixth book in “The Frankie MacFarlane” mystery series, Miller said. The book fol-

lows MacFarlane, a geologist, on an educational whitewater rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. However, the trip takes a turn when attempted murder strikes and a masquerading student and strangers with hidden agendas appear Miller is an author based in Tucson, Arizona. Miller works as a research affiliate with the University of Arizona’s Southwest Institute for Research on Women, she said. She has also worked as a field geologist, similar to the main character in “Chasm.” Besides Miller’s working as a geologist, she has also taught geology and oceanography.

“Mysteries of Love

and Grief: Reflections on a Plainswoman’s Life” is based on photographs, letters and documents author Scofield received after her grandmother’s death, Scofield said. “‘Mysteries of Love and Grief: Reflections on a Plainswoman’s Life’ took me 30 years to write,” Scofield said.

Scofield’s grandmother, Frieda, was widowed when she was 30 years old with three young children.

Frieda went on to work as a tenant farmer and railroad cook while living in a boxcar during the Great Depression, Scofield said.

Obama praises Clinton, blasts Trump at DNC fundraiser in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama on Sunday praised Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for her intellect, fortitude and “unerring” judgment and blasted “the other guy,” Republican Donald Trump, on his New York home turf as unqualified to be president and uninterested in learning enough to make the hard decisions the job requires.

Obama addressed a dinner crowd of about 65 people at a fundraiser at the Gramercy Park home of restaurateur Danny Meyer and his wife, Audrey. Attendees contributed

$25,000. Event co-chairs gave $100,000, while chairs raised or contributed $250,000, officials said. Proceeds will benefit the Democratic National Committee, state parties and the Clinton campaign.

“This is somebody who is smart, who is tough and, most importantly, cares deeply about making sure that this country works for everybody and not just a few,” Obama said of Clinton. “And she’s displayed it again and again and again. And when I said that I think she is somebody who is as qualified as any individual who has ever

run for this office, I meant it.”

Obama said Clinton has been disciplined and extraordinarily effective in every job she’s held.

“And then there’s the other guy,” he said, drawing laughter. “You all know him because he’s from New York.

Some of you may have done business with him. If you have, it doesn’t sound like it’s been a pleasant experience.”

Obama went on to criticize Trump. “He shows no interest in even gaining the rudimentary knowledge required to make really hard decisions on a day-to-day basis. There’s no curiosity,

no desire to get up to speed.”

Obama said the November election shouldn’t be close but predicted “it will be.” Clinton has lost ground to Trump in some state and national polls in recent weeks and is looking to their first one-on-one debate a week from Monday to swing some momentum behind her.

Obama has vowed “to work as hard as I can” to help elect Clinton in November, in large measure to ensure the longevity of key parts of his legacy. At the fundraiser, he said he was confident the American people will “make a good decision and we’re going to win this thing.”

75 years of Mount Rushmore: boon for tourism S I O U X FA L L S , S . D .

(AP) — It was a historian’s idea: carve gigantic sculptures into the granite pinnacles of the Black Hills of South Dakota, significant Western figures like Lewis and Clark, Buffalo Bill Cody, Fremont, Red Cloud and Sacagawea.

“In the vicinity of Harney Peak ... are opportunities for heroic sculpture of unusual character,” South Dakota Department of History Superintendent Doane Robinson wrote to a sculptor in Georgia in 1924.

The sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, redefined the project entirely. Using jackhammers and dynamite, he began in 1927, first sculpting President George Washington, then Thomas Jefferson, followed by Abraham Lincoln and finally

Theodore Roosevelt.

Next month, Mount Rushmore National Memorial marks 75 years of public pervasiveness, ending up in movies and comics and on quarter-dollar coins.

“Burglum told Robinson ‘You are not thinking big enough. Western figures?

That’s not going to attract enough people. You need to think bigger,’” said Maureen McGee-Ballinger, the memorial’s chief of interpretation and education.

Robinson was looking for ways to promote the state, particularly the Black Hills, McGee-Ballinger said. Plan B surely has served that purpose, with about 3 million people visiting every year.

“For the state, and the nation, Mount Rushmore is quite iconic,” South Dakota

State Historical Society Director Jay Vogt said. “It definitely put South Dakota on the map as a destination ... Because these are elected individuals on the mountain, who worked hard to preserve a nation whose creation was unique in and of itself, it really speaks to the idea that we are a country of free people.”

Along the way, it has also found a place in pop culture.

A chase scene in “North by Northwest,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, included a deathdefying scramble over the presidents’ faces.

“Alfred Hitchcock says he expects to realize his long ambition — filming a chase over the Mt. Rushmore Monument,” The Associated Press reported in 1958. “He

Mining town emerging from Superfund cleanup IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo.

(AP) — For decades, a creek in the mountains west of Denver sometimes ran yellow from toxic waste gurgling out of abandoned mines — a painfully familiar story in the picturesque wreckage of Colorado’s 1859 gold rush.

But after a three-decade, $62 million Superfund cleanup, Clear Creek now lives up to its pristinesounding name, at least most of the time. In the historic mining town of Idaho Springs, the creek attracts anglers, rafters and even real estate investors.

“The actual designation of the Superfund site on Idaho Springs I would say has been, in my view, nothing but positive,” said Bob Bowland, a longtime resident and City Council member.

That offers hope for the town of Silverton, 165 miles (265.53 kilometers) to the southwest, where the federal government is embarking on another big cleanup after a massive spill from the Gold King Mine last year.

But other Idaho Springs residents warned that getting through their cleanup was wrenching, especially in the early years.

When the Environmental Protection Agency launched

the project in 1983, the outside world wrongly thought the entire town was contaminated, and the community’s reputation and economy suffered, they said.

The cleanup also brought down the enormous power of the EPA on Idaho Springs, a town that even now has just 1,700 residents, and some people felt steamrolled.

“To my knowledge, not a single concern we had made a single difference in any of the analysis or outcomes,” former Clear Creek County Commissioner Nelson Fugate said.

But even these critics said the overall results were, for the most part, good.

“In hindsight, everything came out fine,” Fugate said.

Arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, manganese and zinc were washing into Clear Creek from abandoned mining sites when the EPA created the Superfund project.

“The name of Clear Creek was a joke,” Bowland said.

“The creek was never clear, ever. It was just yellow.”

The EPA built one treatment plant for wastewater flowing from the mines, and a second is under construction. A concrete-and-steel bulkhead was installed inside a mine tunnel to control the flow of wastewater. Rain

and snowmelt were diverted away from piles of mineralrich waste rock so contaminants wouldn’t drain into the creek.

The results were striking, residents said.

“Nobody is saying, ‘Oh, that damn Superfund site,’” County Commissioner Tim Mauck said. “It’s almost, if anything, a source of pride and achievement.”

Mauck and others hope an influx of rafters, anglers and other outdoor enthusiast made possible by the cleanup will help stabilize a local economy still dependent on mining. A molybdenum mine may close, and officials are looking for ways to diversify.

Earlier this year, Bowland and partners bought one of the Superfund hotspots, the historic Argo gold mill in Idaho Springs. Like the previous owner, they still offer tours, but they also plan a hotel, conference center, housing and restaurants.

Mary Jane Loevlie, a partner in the project, had harsh words for the way the EPA carried out the cleanup, but she and her partners are betting that the spruced-up community will flourish.

“I’m very optimistic or I wouldn’t be investing in the Argo,” she said.

may be spoofing, but you never can tell with Hitchcock.” Some scenes were filmed at the memorial, but the climbing of the faces were studio shots that used models of the mountain.

A 1983 special anniversary issue of the comic “Wonder Woman” features her face next to the stone Lincoln. T-shirts with the faces of superheroes instead of the presidents are available at Target and elsewhere. The memorial is a never-ending muse for political cartoonists, and in 2016, there’s been no shortage of memes.

The memorial has also been featured in multiple coins, including a quarter issued by the U.S. Mint in 2013 that shows men adding the finishing details to Jefferson’s face.

Tolerate diversity, do not celebrate it I

ntolerance has become a buzzword lately.

Perhaps its most obnoxious usage is to silence opponents of multiculturalism.

Proponents of multiculturalism push their narrative of diversity by exaggerating the idea of USA as a melting pot.

While tolerance is a generally good thing, the word diversity — with regard to this conversation — means anything other than heterosexual males of European descent.

The problem with using the word tolerance in this discussion is that leftist hacks — as they so often do – have changed the meaning of the word in order to perpetuate their own perverted sense of progress.

Every time I turn on the TV, I see some shill lecturing people on the importance of diversity and tolerance.

I want to know when this is going to stop. It certainly hasn’t stopped at our campus.

Last week signaled the kickoff of a semester-long diversity campaign by the Texas Tech Division of Institutional Diversity, Equity & Community Engagement.

Yes, we really are paying these people to hold events like the upcoming lecture, “El Grito-Mexican Independence Celebration.”

Why should anyone want to attend a Mexican independence celebration?

independence and everything, but the thought that this little number is funded by our tuition fees — as well as our tax dollars — doesn’t really sit well with me.

Now, there are probably plenty of you reading this thinking to yourselves how intolerant it is of me to write such a thing. If this is you, hang in there. Or don’t. Honestly, I don’t really care.

Is it really intolerant to not feel all warm and fuzzy inside over the prospect of attending a celebration of another country’s struggle for independence?

No. Disinterested might be a better word.

Another example of this perversion of the word intolerant to assail the character of those who disagree with the left’s agenda can be frequently observed in the discussion surrounding Caitlyn Jenner and transgenderism in general.

If I were to refuse to call Jenner —who is biologically a man — a woman, chances are, I would be labeled intolerant.

This does not constitute a refusal to tolerate his lifestyle, whatsoever.

It only constitutes a refusal to celebrate another

person’s lifestyle.

If I were to emigrate to another country, I would learn that country’s language and respect its culture, rather than insist it adopt my language and culture.

If I — as an American — expect the same thing in return, this becomes intolerance.

In reality, it is merely upholding a social and cultural expectation that is placed on immigrants by practically every country on Earth.

Intolerance is used in order to describe someone’s refusal to celebrate and embrace someone else’s way of life.

We should all tolerate others’ lifestyle choices, so long as they are not harming us.

However, we should not be forced to celebrate and embrace every little nuance of someone else’s life just because it is different from ours.

The fact is, nobody deserves a medal for being different, whether it is for being of non-European descent, gay, transgendered, female, etc.

We should all just be allowed to be who we are without thinking that some of us are just a little more special or a little more unique than others, without thinking that everybody else should be forced to celebrate and embrace our super special qualities or risk being labeled intolerant. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Cosmetic testing on animals is one of those things we choose to look over.

The eye irritation/corrosion test — better known as the Draize eye test — was developed in the 1940s and is still used today.

A substance is placed in one eye — the other eye is the experimental control — of a rabbit who is then restrained, preventing it from a natural response to irritation.

They are observed after one hour and then observed at 24-hour intervals for up to two weeks.

Scientist are looking for signs of redness, bleeding, ulcers and blindness.

After all of this, the animals are almost always killed at the end of each test, normally by neckbreaking or decapitation.

Moreover, these tests are hugely limited scientifically.

Different species respond differently when exposed to the same chemicals.

To put it simply, most of the tests aren’t applicable or relevant to humans and are often difficult to interpret.

For example, once the Draize eye test is complete and the rabbit has been killed, scientists inspect their corneas for further analysis.

Not only is the structure of a rabbit’s cornea significantly different from a human’s but it also has smaller tear ducts, therefore producing less tears.

This allows for the chemicals to linger longer and cause more irritation.

Not only does this make the test unreliable, but it also adds to the suffering.

After all this, I ask myself “Why would anyone still do this?”

Well, instead of focusing on who does use it, I would like to highlight who doesn’t use it.

March 2013, a European

Union law was fully implemented making it illegal to sell any animal-tested cosmetic products.

This forced major companies to turn their backs on animal testing, therefore, investing many resources into non-animal alternatives.

Although amazing, this achievement didn’t just happen overnight.

It took years of lobbying and countless baby steps.

In 2004, the EU banned animal testing on a finished cosmetic product.

In 2009, a second ban went out which ended animal testing on specific ingredients within a cosmetic product.

This simply meant member nations of the EU couldn’t perform these tests.

It didn’t say anything about the tests being performed elsewhere, then put on the market in Europe.

The ban in 2013 sealed that final loophole.

My point is, a complete ban on selling animal-tested cosmetic products in the U.S. would be detrimental to our economy.

This isn’t something that can be done in the blink of an eye.

I think we should follow in Europe’s footsteps by tackling little pieces of this problem at a time.

Even if it doesn’t lead to a complete ban, America would be continuing in the right direction down this path we’re trying to forge.

This sounds like an overwhelming task, but it really isn’t.

It wasn’t congressmen and higher-ups that made this final push in EU. It was the average person, like me and you.

It was the accumulation of pressure, protest and noise-makers that made the change.

So, thinking back to those poor, helpless bunnies with bleeding eyes and no heads, if this article made you cringe, go do something about.

Go make noise.

If we can break the internet with Kim Kardashian’s butt, I’m sure we can simply share this article and spread the message.

Quantum physics provides new world perspective

I

f I had to pick my least favorite subject in high school, it would be physics.

The concepts themselves were challenging. The math was even more challenging.

However, my views on physics quickly changed when my teacher mentioned the words “quantum mechanics.”

He refused to discuss it, saying it was beyond the scope of our class. However, my curiosity was piqued.

After school I made a trip to the Chick-fil-A parking lot and watched countless YouTube documentaries on quantum theory.

I learned that quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy in the atomic and subatomic levels.

In my physics class, we only discussed classical physics: Isaac Newton’s laws of motion, etc.

Quantum mechanics deals with small-scale objects, like photons and electrons.

From the bizarre complexi-

Hannah Deeter is a freshman journalism major from Wheelock.

ties of probability waves to the wacky world of quantum entanglement, quantum mechanics truly changed the way I look at physics.

Everything I saw in those videos amazed me, so, it was in that moment that I decided to give physics a second chance.

What makes this branch of physics so bizarre?

According to the laws of quantum mechanics, individual particles — photons, electrons, etc. — can behave like waves. This phenomenon is called wave-particle duality.

This process was discovered through the famous double-slit experiment.

In the early 1800s, a scientist named Thomas Young shone a light through a barrier with two slits. Behind the barrier was a screen that reflected the light.

At this time, light was thought to be composed of particles, or photons.

It seemed reasonable to believe that some photons would make it through one slit or the other and some would hit the barrier, thus the screen would reflect two distinct lines of light.

However, the screen showed not two distinct lines of light, but many.

The biggest line was in the middle, followed by increasingly smaller lines on both sides.

The lines indicated an interference pattern, a pattern that is observed in waves.

This discovery showed that photons act like both particles and waves.

Even individual electrons have wave-like properties.

When electrons are released toward a double-slit barrier, they produce the same interference pattern.

Instead of seeing two clusters of electrons on the screen, representing the two slits on the barrier, you would see a series of alternating stripes.

Scientists concluded that the reason for this wavy behavior is because particles move in probability waves.

In other words, if I could “throw” a single electron towards a double-slit barrier and I could see its probability wave, the peaks and troughs of the wave would tell me where the electron is most likely and least likely land on the screen, respectively.

Furthermore, the electron will hover in a state of uncertainty until I choose to observe it. The act of observation forces the electron to “pick” a place in its probability wave.

Brian Greene, renowned physicist and author, further describes this oddity. He explains, “an electron in the double-slit experiment, before the detector at the back pinpoints its location, could be almost anywhere, with a whole range of possibilities. Until the moment you observe it, and only at that point, will the location’s uncertainty disappear.”

According to David Kaiser, Germeshausen Professor

of the History of Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “the electron on its own seems to be a jumble of possibilities.”

The quantum world is ruled by uncertainty. Another facet of the uncertainty in quantum mechanics is called “entanglement.”

When two particles get close enough together, they can become “entangled” and their properties become connected, even over extremely large distances, like light years.

For example, if I were to separate two entangled particles and send them in completely opposite corners of the galaxy, their properties would remain inextricably connected.

Observing one particle — forcing its uncertainty to disappear — would have an immediate effect on its entangled counterpart.

Greene illustrates this process by comparing entangled particles to red and blue colored wheels: “If two wheels

As someone who is not particularly skilled in math or science, I find it difficult to understand the laws of quantum theory.

Many scientists have spent decades pondering the plethora of mysteries surrounding this breathtaking branch of physics, asking questions like “How can an electron be both a particle and a wave?” and “Why does a particle’s uncertainty vanish when it is observed?”

Some have suggested that there is a different universe for every possible outcome of every situation.

Others believe there are crucial details missing from the equations of quantum mechanics.

Tech students attend Gear Up Girl Scouts event

By SARAH KARDA Staff Writer

Texas Tech’s Society of Women Engineers and Texas Nursing Student Association attended the Gear Up Girl Scouts event on Saturday.

Both organizations had a table at the event where they informed young girls about what they do and why.

SWE had an activity for the girls that taught them more about what an engineer does. The girls were asked to build boats out of straws and tape. Then the boat was placed into a bucket of water with pebbles added to it until it sank, Jenny Beth Harris, a senior environmental engineering major from Rockport and president of SWE, said.

“We are hosting the STEM activity, and what we’re doing is having them build boats out of straws and then we have pebbles to see which boat can hold the most weight,” Harris said. “So they can learn about different designs and what’s the best thing to do and how to work with limited resources.”

SWE is a professional organization that encourages women to pursue a STEM or related degree, said Harris.

The organization has about 100 members and does outreach programs like the Girl Scouts event.

SWE wants to teach the young girls about the process of solving problems as an engineer entails, Ayse Heckel, a senior architecture and civil engineering dual major from Boerne and SWE volunteer chair, said.

“It teaches them that out of the very simple things, that they can create something that could be used in the real world,” Heckel said.

“It teaches them that concept of like you build something, you test it, it doesn’t work, how would you fix it.”

The event is hosted by the Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains. This year, groups from across the Lubbock community came to take part in talking with the young Girl Scouts.

Gear Up for Girl Scouts is a day to reach out to new people who are interested in Girl Scouts, as well as our existing Girl Scouts to come find out about the exciting programs going on this year, Shelby Williams, girl experience specialist, said.

“We have a group from the United Way youth division that are promoting community service,” Williams said.

“We have a troop that is here with rabbits to promote our pets badge. We have some information about outdoor education and our camp and our new ropes course. We also have our alumni association.

Then we also have our product sales information.”

Each group that attended specialized in one of the Girl Scouts’ core program focus areas. The four areas are outdoor education, STEM, life skills, and entrepreneurship, Williams said. These areas are the foundation of the Girl Scout program.

Nursing students from Tech’s TNSA organization also attended the event. They were teaching the girls about

how to manually take blood pressure, a necessary skill for those interested in the nursing career, Avery Atchley, a senior nursing major from Frisco, said.

“It’s just like a good skill to have, you know to be able to take a manual blood pressure without having the electronic machines,” Atchley said. “It’s good for these younger girls to know how to do that.”

Both organizations were adamant about pushing young women to achieve their dreams, no matter who says they cannot. Mathematics and science careers are not just things boys can do, Harris said.

Anything is possible if one works hard and gets involved, Emily Smith, a senior nursing major from Arlington, said. SWE and TNSA want young girls to strive for their best and prove they can do anything they set their mind to.

“Follow their dream and if anybody tells them that they can’t, let that fuel them to be like ‘Ha, I proved you wrong,’” Heckel said. “Because that’s honestly what’s fueled me.”

The Gear Up Girl Scouts event brought perspective to the young women attending through the encouragement and knowledge to succeed, Williams said.

The event taught real world application and skills, along with courage and confidence to achieve. Building young girls with confidence and character is a principle of Girl Scouts, Williams said.

“We build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place,”

Bobbi Kristina Brown’s partner loses wrongful death lawsuit ATLANTA (AP) — A judge ruled against Bobbi Kristina Brown’s partner, Nick Gordon, in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by her estate, though the decision doesn’t answer any of the questions surrounding her mysterious death.

Brown, the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome in January 2015. She died in hospice care about six months later.

Investigators with the medical examiner’s office were not able to determine

exactly how she died. An autopsy showed that she had morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs in her body, but the medical examiner couldn’t determine if she killed herself, if someone else killed her or if her death was accidental.

Her family blamed Gordon, accusing him in the lawsuit of giving her a “toxic cocktail” before putting her face-down in the water. But he has never been charged in the case.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said in an emailed statement that his office continues to

investigate the case.

Gordon repeatedly failed to meet court deadlines in the civil case, Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford said in his order. A jury trial will be set to determine how much Gordon must pay in damages; if he cannot pay, he could face a lien on property he owns or have his wages garnished.

No lawyer was listed for Gordon in online court records. Two attorneys representing him against any criminal allegations that may be filed said they were not involved in the civil case.

Jimmy Fallon faces social media backlash after Trump interview “In his defense, Jimmy Fallon just pulled in a 35 share among white supremacists 18-49,” cracked one, while another declared, “Humanizing a xenophobe is not okay.”

Yet another tweet excused Fallon for not drilling his subject as a journalist might, but faulted him “for his willingness to serve as hell’s court jester.”

For some observers, Trump’s devil-may-care guest shot may have seemed particularly jarring on Friday as he commanded blanket TV coverage for his revised verdict, after long denying it, that President Barack Obama was indeed born in the United States.

But years before the current polarizing presidential race, Fallon built his brand as a lovable, powder-puff-wielding host,

NEW YORK (AP) — Some “Tonight Show” viewers weren’t laughing after GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump paid Jimmy Fallon a visit Thursday, and encountered nothing hairier from the NBC host than a head rub.

Noting that “the next time I see you, you could be the President of the United States,” Fallon proposed they do something “that’s just not presidential, really, something that we could do now that we’re both just civilians.”

“I’m not liking the sound of this,” Trump said.

“Can I mess your hair up?” Fallon asked, quickly adding, “I’ll be gentle.”

Fallon was, both with mussing up Trump’s legendary yellow ‘do and with the interview that accompanied it.

Afterward, tweets flew.

no matter who his guest, politician or otherwise. No one mistakes Fallon for his slyly subversive CBS counterpart, Stephen Colbert, or Colbert’s caustic predecessor, David Letterman.

Fallon’s nice-guy style has helped make him the latenight ratings leader.

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, a scheduled guest for Monday’s “Tonight Show,” was surely expecting the same kid-gloves treatment accorded to Trump.

Even so, The Huffington Post called Fallon’s handling of Trump “a softball interview even by softball standards.”

A GQ magazine critic called it “embarrassing” and “fawning” — “like watching a dictator be ‘fun’ on staterun TV.” On Friday, NBC declined to comment on Trump’s “Tonight Show” appearance.

New flex-scheduling program helps students Students choose to go to law school for different reasons. Some want to increase their knowledge for their major or have the interest in being an attorney. Through the new flex-scheduling system offered by the Texas Tech School of Law, a brand new class of people now have the chance to go to law school.

TAILGATE TOSS

Settlement reached in ‘Fifty Shades’ dispute FORT WORTH (AP) — A Texas woman has reached a settlement with a former business partner who she claims defrauded her of her share of the multimillion sale of the erotic best-seller “Fifty Shades of Grey” and two companion novels.

Citing court records, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says Jennifer Pedroza will receive at least $1.7 million. The settlement sets aside a judge’s earlier rul-

ing that awarded Pedroza $11.5 million in royalties and interest.

The Fort Worth schoolteacher operated an e-book business with others including Australian Amanda Hayward, and that business was the first to publish “Fifty Shades of Grey.” A jury last year determined that Hayward cut Pedroza out of her share of the ensuing $40 million sale of the EL James trilogy to Random House.

Networks air 20-minute Trump ‘commercial’ before statement NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump's renouncement of birtherism on Friday came with some media gamesmanship that compelled television news networks to air 20 minutes of endorsements by retired military

men before the candidate briefly got to the point.

"We all got Rick-rolled," said CNN's Jake Tapper, a reference to the Internet prank of replacing an expected link with a video of singer Rick Astley's 1987

hit, "Never Gonna Give You Up." The bad blood continued after the event when the Trump campaign barred text reporters and a television producer from joining him on a tour of the new Trump International Hotel in Washington. In response, cable and broadcast networks refused to use any video of the tour.

Trump's long-expressed doubts that President Obama was born in the United States — despite a birth certificate proving Obama's eligibility for the presidency — resurfaced with a Washington Post interview on Thursday where Trump

would not say whether or not he believed the president was born in Hawaii in 1961.

With criticism of his birther movement starting anew, Trump's campaign signaled that the candidate would address the issue Friday at a Washington event. When Trump stepped to the podium at 11:04 a.m.

EDT, he was carried live on CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC. Following a short statement that didn't address the birther issue, Trump stepped aside for a succession of Medal of Honor recipients to approach the microphone and endorse him.

Defense allows 572 yards in victory

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

In the win against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, the Texas Tech Red Raiders defense allowed 572 total yards. Of those yards, 311 came by way of the Bulldogs passing game, while the Red Raiders allowed the remaining 261 yards to the Bulldog ground game.

The defense also had one sack that was made by freshman defensive back Douglas Coleman. They also registered five pass break ups in the game.

“I guess we didn’t tackle in the second half, missed some key tackles that we made in practice and in other games,” sophomore defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson said. “I mean, you miss tackles, and they get big plays, but we just got to tackle better.”

Against the back-andforth matchup against Arizona State in week two, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said when the defense faced adversity, it could not respond.

For the game against the Bulldogs, Johnson said the defense had a lot more emotion on the sideline.

“Yes, it was much better,” Johnson said. “Guys were picking each other up. The sideline was a lot more alive than it was last week. We did a great job. I mean, they kept us in the game.”

The defense was also able to stop the Bulldogs six out of the 10 times Louisiana Tech faced third down.

However, the Red Raider defense allowed the Sun Devils to go 9-16 on third down conversions.

“We did bring more pressure than we have been,”

ALLISON LING/The Daily Toreador

Texas Tech junior defensive lineman Gary Moore and senior defensive back Justis Nelson work together to tackle Louisiana Tech running back Jarred Craft during his attempt to run the ball. The Red Raiders are 2-1 after their 59-45 win over the Bulldogs.

Johnson said. “We did a great job with it. We had a few different looks, got some DBs blitzing and things like that.

It turned out really well.”

Johnson, freshman linebacker Jordyn Brooks and sophomore linebacker D’Vonta Hinton were the lead tacklers in the game. Johnson had eight tackles, Brooks had seven and Hinton had six. Brooks also had one pass break up.

Johnson said Brooks and Coleman came in and found success one the field despite their experience..

“They came in from summer, done a great job,” Johnson said. “Earned their chance to play in the games, and they been studying, week-in, week-out, making sure they know what they are doing when they get a chance to get in there, and they did a great job.”

The defense registered no turnovers in the game, which is also what happened against Arizona State.

Kingsbury said it was bad to not have any turnovers in the game. The Red

LOCAL

Raiders also had nine penalties for 90 yards against Arizona State, and 11 penalties for 95 yards against Louisiana Tech.

“It’s back-to-back weeks, and we had more than them and that’s not good,” Kingsbury said. “No turnover, didn’t create any turnovers.

We protected it well, but we had way too many times where we had big plays called back because of them.”

When the Red Raiders played the Sun Devils, Brooks had 10 total tackles

with two tackles for loss.

Johnson said the freshmen are on top of their tasks and are handling their job like the veterans on the team.

“They know everything just about as well as we do,” Johnson said. “They study day-in and day-out, stay late. I’m always in there with (defensive coordinator David) Gibbs learning everything else. They do a great job when they get on the field.”

After a bye week next week, the Red Raiders will

Siegel family receives Houston defeats KC, $65,000 at tennis classic Watt, defense dominate On Sunday, the Team L u k e Te n n i s C l a s s i c wrapped up at the McLeod Tennis Center with a check being presented to the Siegel family in the amount of $65,000, according to a report on www.everythinglubbock.com.

The money was from proceeds that were raised during the weeklong event.

The Team Luke Classic featured professional women tennis players.

It was presented by the USTA Pro Circuit Collegiate Series.

According to the report, the Siegel family also announced the establishment of the Team Luke Foundation at

the conclusion of the classic.

Sophomores Felicity Maltby and Alex Valenstein and juniors Sarah Dvorak and Gabriela Talaba, who are on the Texas Tech women’s tennis team, participated in the main draw of the classic.

The four Lady Raiders were also ranked in the ITA preseason rankings.

In July 2015, Luke Siegel was in a golf cart accident and was injured.

Siegel suffered serious chest and head trauma, but was able to survive.

The foundation benefits children and their families who have suffered traumatic brain injuries. @BSoliz_DT

HOUSTON (AP) — When J.J. Watt and the Houston Texans last faced the Kansas City Chiefs the defensive end was so badly hurt he only made it a little more than halfway through the demoralizing 30-0 wildcard playoff loss.

Watt was healthy again Sunday and Houston’s defense was dominant, setting a franchise record by recovering three fumbles in the first half and sacking Alex Smith four times in a 19-12 win.

“For us to go out there and have the performance that we did it definitely helps build your confidence because that’s a very strong football team in your confer-

ence so you want to go out there and start 2-0,” Watt said. “It’s more about beating a good football team now than it is about (avenging) an old loss.”

Watt started that playoff game despite having several torn muscles in his core.

He remained on his hands and knees for a couple of excruciating minutes after being thrown to the ground early in the third quarter and didn’t return, relegated to a spectator as the Chiefs romped to their first playoff win since 1994.

This time it was clear from the start that Watt was back to form after not quite looking like himself in

Mahomes, Giles lead Red Raiders to victory

By ARIANA HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

Texas Tech sophomore wide receiver Jonathan Giles was the leading receiver in Saturday’s 59-45 win against Louisiana Tech. He had a career high of 186 receiving yards and had three touchdowns in the first half alone.

Giles’ three touchdowns marked the first time a Red Raider has done so, since Bradley Marquez did back in 2014 against Baylor, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

He is also the first Red Raider to record more than 150 receiving yards since Jakeem Grant did in 2015 against then No. 12 Oklahoma State, according to the release.

Louisiana Tech’s defense was not easy to go up against, Giles said after the game at the press conference.

“Oh no, they have a very good team,” Giles said. “We watched film Tuesday evening, and we saw how good of a defense they played, especially against Arkansas, held them to 20 points, so we knew what kind of defense they had. So, we just wanted to come out there and compete.”

Jonathan received a long touchdown pass that he got in the end zone early on in the game.

The touchdown pass was the longest reception of his career at 64 yards from junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. Giles was wide

“I knew once I saw Pat roll out of the pocket, I was going to go to the back of the end zone, and he was going to find me,” Giles said.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said after the press conference that while Giles had three touchdown passes, he was prouder of Giles’ blocking. He said that was an area he asked him to improve in.

Giles also said his personal takeaway from this game would be his blocking

rather than the three touchdown passes.

“Probably blocking, just because I pride myself on being a team player and blocking for my teammates,” Giles said. “That’s one of the things coach (Eric) Morris did a good job of, and all season, just teaching me how to be a better blocker.”

Junior wide receiver Dylan Cantrell pulled away with a touchdown in the first half. Giles held off two guys during this play.

Kingsbury said Giles has been good receiving the balls.

However, he has not been as physical. Giles showed at Saturday’s game that he is capable of being a physical receiver.

“He’s good with the ball in his hands,” Kingsbury said.

“He’s a dynamic receiver but we needed him to be more physical, and he’s really taken that to heart, and that was good to see.”

At Saturday’s game, there were more running plays than passing plays, which

Kingsbury said had to do with Louisiana Tech’s defense.

“If they’re going to give us a run, we’re going to take the run,” Kingsbury said. “The previous two games, they wanted us to throw it, and we threw it. We’re going to do whatever the defense allows us to do.”

Giles said having a more balanced offense allows Mahomes the opportunity to change the plays up. It eases Mahomes’ job so that Mahomes does not have to throw

the ball every play.

“I feel like it makes it easier for Pat just so that he doesn’t have to throw the ball a whole lot,” Giles said. “He can hand the ball to J-Stock or Will, they going to get tenplus yards, so it’s very fun.

And us as a receiver group, just blocking, being physical, is very fun.”

Giles said his experience in high school allows him to know what Mahomes might be looking for when it comes to making plays.

This is why Mahomes and Giles seem to click out on the field, Giles said.

“I played quarterback in high school,” he said. “So I know what Pat looks for, and I know what he wants to go to. When he’s looking for somebody, I’m always going deep. As a quarterback, I like for somebody to go deep just to launch it. It’s fun.”

Kingsbury said he believes Tech played better offensively on Saturday as opposed to the game against Arizona State.

“I thought offensively we handled the situation better,” Kingsbury said. “It was going back and forth, and we never blinked. We just said, all right, we’ll keep going. Where I thought last week, we had a couple of moments where we let down and weren’t up for the challenge of, ‘Hey, you’re in one of those games, you’d better keep scoring.’ So that was encouraging.” @A_HernandezDT

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “I thought offensively we handled the situation better,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “It was going back and forth, and we never blinked. We just said, all right, we’ll keep going.”

The Red Raiders were the first to score when Felton scored a rushing touchdown for 12 yards. The Bulldogs answered back with a 20-yard field goal, making the score 7-3 with 4:06 left in the first quarter.

Just two plays later, Mahomes threw a 64-yard touchdown bomb to Giles, extending the Red Raiders’ lead to 14-3 with 3:41 left in the first quarter. Mahomes later threw to Giles again for another touchdown in the Red Raiders’ next drive for 36 yards. At the end of the first quarter, the Red Raiders led 21-3 against the Bulldogs.

“Everybody executed at a much higher level, route depth, blocking, effort, being where you should be,” Kingsbury said. “Pat for the most part was pretty clean in his reads. There were a couple where he should have made without getting outside, but yeah, that’s what we’re looking for as high-level execution.”

At the very beginning of the second quarter, the Bulldogs scored a touchdown to make the game 21-10.

The Red Raiders quickly answered back in the next drive with Mahomes connecting to junior wide re-

ceiver Dylan Cantrell for a nine-yard touchdown pass, extending the lead to 28-10.

In the Red Raiders’ next drive, Mahomes threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Giles off of a trick play.

Before the end of the first half, the Bulldogs scored a touchdown to make the game 35-17 at the end of the half.

Giles said he believes having a more balanced offense takes the workload off of Mahomes.

Giles said it was good to see the run game work more this week compared to what the team has produced in the first two games of the season.

Mahomes finished the first half with 18 pass completions, 333 passing yards and four passing touchdowns. Giles finished the half with four receptions for 151 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.

To start off the second half, the Bulldogs scored another touchdown, closing the gap to 35-24 with 10:24 left in the third quarter.

However, the Red Raiders once again answered back with Mahomes passing to junior wide receiver Cameron Batson for a nine-yard

“We had a lot of things to work on. Got to tackle better. Missed a couple tackles that we should make, that’s fundamental tackles, but we did play better from last week.”

Louisiana Tech redshirt senior quarterback Ryan Higgins then threw to redshirt junior wide receiver Carlos Henderson for 54 yards to score a touchdown for the Bulldogs on the next drive, making the final score of the third quarter 42-31.

To start off the fourth quarter, Felton scored his second touchdown of the night on an eight-yard rush, bringing the lead to 49-31. Sophomore kicker Clayton Hatfield then scored a 24-yard field goal to extend the lead to 52-31 with 7:10 left to play. “(The defense was) not good enough obviously,” Kingsbury said. “I thought, I had a really bad play call there, it was 35-10. I tried to throw it, which was dumb, on first down and three. We lose yards, we missed the field goal, and they come down right before the half and score and we didn’t recover. It was the same type

of adversity last week when we recovered the fumble and got it called back and didn’t recover from that. So defensively, when stuff goes wrong, we got to be able to stand up, and we have not proven that yet.”

The Bulldogs quickly answered back with Higgins throwing a 76-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Trent Taylor to make the score 52-38 with 6:22 left to play. Mahomes then scored a rushing touchdown to bring home the final score for the Red Raiders in the game.

Higgins then passed to Taylor to score another touchdown, but after a failed onside kick by the

Bulldogs, the game was over with the Red Raiders winning the game 59-45.

“I thought they showed up with a good look in their eye,” Kingsbury said.

“They practiced well all week. They practiced, you know, to win the game.

There’s no pouting. There’s no hangover. Like I said, we’re up 35-10, that’s what you want. Could have put them away. That’s what we’ve got to work on is that part of it.”

Next time, the Red Raiders will host Kansas to begin Big 12 Conference play at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 29 at Jones AT&T Stadium. @JackDensmore_DT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dallas wins with Prescott; Redskins need fixes to avoid 0-3 start LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Maybe this time, the Dallas Cowboys really are ready to win without Tony Romo. Certainly a turnover-free Dak Prescott helps in that regard.

From the last game of the 2013 season through the end of last season, Dallas went 1-13

when Romo was unavailable.

With fourth-round draft pick Prescott suddenly elevated to the starting QB spot when Romo hurt his back late in the preseason, the Cowboys will take a 1-1 record into next week’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Prescott was 22 for 30

for 292 yards plus a 6-yard scamper for a touchdown in a 27-23 victory at the Washington Redskins on Sunday. That followed a one-point loss to the New York Giants in Week One. “You see him do the right thing — and good things — when he’s under pressure,”

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “He’s like a sponge. ...

He has an overachiever attitude about soaking it up.”

The best sign for the future, according to teammates, was the way Prescott was calm during the 10-play, 80-yard drive in the fourth quarter that

led to the go-ahead points on former Redskins running back Alfred Morris’ 4-yard TD run.

“He treated it like it was the first play of the game,” receiver Dez Bryant said. “It says a lot about him as a person. He was ready for this game. He is built for this kind of stuff.”

Washington’s game at the New York Giants next Sunday becomes quite significant. Coach Jay Gruden’s Redskins are 0-2 ; the Giants are 2-0. “We can hang our heads and cry all we want to,” Gruden said, “but the fact of the matter is, we got a game at 1 o’clock next Sunday.”
