SGA continues discussion for House of Representatives

By MATT DOTRAY STAFF WRITER

Discussion over a bill that would create a House of Representatives in the Legislation Branch, dominated Student Government Associations’ Senate meeting Thursday.

The meeting began with a variety of addresses, including one given by Stuart Williams, chief justice of the SGA Supreme Court. Williams said it is important for senators to actively represent their constituents, and to remember SGA’s Constitution is the framework for student

government.

“You must use this office and your membership in this chamber to further the protection of your constituents and make their lives a little better,” he said.

“Respect is earned as much as it is given.”

Williams said senators must work together in harmony, and there must be a mutual respect and concession in order to sustain a democracy.

Following committee reports, the topic quickly turned to the creation of a Student House of Representatives.

Colin Davis, a senator from the College of Arts and Sciences, is one of the

writers of the bill.

He said the students he has talked to were in support of the resolution and encouraged open discussion from senators if some thing needs to be changed.

“We are here to represent the interest of the students,” he said. “We’re not here to vote on what you think is best. We’re here to vote on what the students think is best. If you don’t represent the interest of the students, you have no reason to be here.”

Davis offered an amendment to the bill that would include Social Greek organizations, which would add five more

students to the House. The amendment did not pass because senators agreed more debate would be needed.

Macy Anderson, a senator from the College of Human Sciences, said she would not vote for the bill if it was called for a vote as it currently reads.

She said even if students were interested, nothing would get done in an organization with more than 100 people trying to add opinions and looking out for their personal beliefs.

“I think the thing we need to do with this bill is to make sure students even want to do it,” Anderson said. “I know

that sounds bad, and I want students to want to do it, but I think we need to bring it up in source meetings and really try to talk to students.”

Jeffrey Tew, an engineering senator, agreed with Anderson’s comment. Tew said students already have someone representing them in the Senate, and dividing the power would simply confuse the legislative process.

“I don’t think anybody woke up and said, ‘Do you know what our government’s problem is? There’s not enough bureaucrats,’” Tew said. “That just doesn’t happen. Instead of increasing the difficulty

of operation, I think we should set an easier solution.”

Davis answered opinions by saying there are plenty of opportunities to discuss the situation.

“This isn’t a random idea that just came out of nowhere that we’re voting on tomorrow that’s really fast,” Davis said.

“There are plenty of ways to get involved in this. You just have to take the initiative to do this.”

Members of SGA will continue working on the bill and urge students to actively participate and offer opinions. ➤➤mdotray@dailytoreador.com

Professor plans to dye hair if fundraising goal is reached

By KATELIN KELLY STAFF WRITER

Although this Texas Tech English professor has been a natural blonde her entire life, she committed to dye her hair pink for a month if she reaches her fundraising goal of $1,500 by Monday for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

Amber Lancaster, introduction to technical writing professor, said there is a special place in her heart for raising money and awareness for breast cancer.

In February, Lancaster found a lump on her right breast and was immediately concerned about the possibility of cancer, she said.

Lancaster said she lived in fear the entire week before her doctor’s appointment, where she found out the lump was not cancerous and had it removed.

“It was a very emotional time for me,” Lancaster said. “Of course I was relieved when it wasn’t, but it just kind of brought to the forefront of my mind that this is real and people deal with this all the time.”

This year’s Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure will be Oct. 6, which marks the d a t e o f L a n c a s t e r ’s s e c o n d goal, running her first 5k.

Lancaster started exercising last January, she said, and like most people, made a New Year’s resolution to make healthy decisions.

After joining a gym and hiring a trainer, Lancaster lost 26 pounds in four months, she said.

Lancaster said her trainer put the idea in her head to run in Race

for the Cure.

“Somehow it just came out,” Lancaster said, “(My trainer) said, ‘You know, I’ve run six marathons,’ and I said, ‘Oh my God, I would love to do that,’ just to see if I could do it and I sort of made this proclamation like, ‘I’m going to run a marathon.’”

Lancaster hired a running coach who helped her set a marathon pace at an 11-minute mile.

“So, it became sort of a double goal for me,” Lancaster said, “It was, you know, can I run this 5k? I’m still heavy, but I’m doing really well and I’ve got the right team backing me up right now, and then I kind of had this crazy idea.”

Last week, Lancaster noticed a pink strip of fake hair in her student’s hair and thought it might be fun to wear in the race. It was not until after a student said she should dye her hair pink that she had ever considered it.

“After the month is over it will be dyed a darker color,” Lancaster said. “I’m blonde normally, so that’s going to be really bright.”

Bobbie Marshall, a senior English major from Lubbock, said she has had two classes with Lancaster and she is an excellent teacher.

“I thought it was hilarious,” Marshall said of when she first heard Lancaster’s idea to dye her hair pink, “and I told her that could be her whole gimmick and kind of her slogan, as far as being the pink professor, and I thought that would generate a lot of interest.”

War and to help people remember that war happened,” he said. “It was a very important part of our history of the twentieth century and it is still a part of our living culture.”

The GLS also works to disprove commonplaces about veterans, Maxner said.

“One of the things that I think is important is the idea that there’s so many stereotypes about Vietnam veterans, what that war meant and how it affected people,” he said. “And one of the great things, I think, about this lecture

series is that we’re bringing in people, and they’re absolutely the opposite of all those stereotypes.”

Rutan received his pilot’s license at age 16 and said he knew from a young age what he wanted to do.

“Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be a warrior,” he said.

This goal was fulfilled when he volunteered for MITSY, a topsecret unit that flew missions over North Vietnam to mark targets on the Ho Chi Minh trail.

After a year-long review process and his third application, Texas Tech chemical engineering assistant professor Harvinder Gill received the New Innovator Award from the National Institute of Health. The award’s two main goals, according to the National Institute of Health’s website, are to stimulate innovative research and support promising researchers.

Gill said he was one of 51 researchers to be awarded the five-year $2.2 million grant for his research in developing pollen grains for use in oral vaccinations.

Three years ago while walking to his office, Gill said he saw a commercial about anti-pollen allergy drugs and began investigations into pollen and its potential uses.

Oral vaccinations typically fail because they are made of proteins, which the stomach digests.

However, Gill said the outer shell of pollen grains is durable and resistant to acid and enzymatic conditions within the stomach.

“As a result, we wondered if we can actually use pollen grains for vaccination,” he said. “It’s more like a concept of using a Trojan horse. So we remove the pollens and proteins and different molecules which are present

within the pollens, take them out and instead put our own vaccine of interest inside it. So when you’re cleaning the pollens it also makes sure that anyone who was allergic to pollens will no longer be allergic.”

The advantages of pollen grain oral vaccinations include being child- and patient-friendly, time efficient and self-administrable.

Another advantage, Gill said, is mucosal immunity.

“A very big advantage is scientifically, it could produce mucosal immunity,” he said. “So, if we can produce antibodies in mucosal secretions, which we are not able to do right now, we might have a first line of defense outside the body so that viruses and bacteria can be neutralized even before they infect.”

This method of vaccination, associate managing director/technology director in the Office of Technology Commercialization David McClure said, is a scientific breakthrough.

The OTC, McClure said, is working on a patent application for Gill’s research.

“The use of pollen spores as a delivery mechanism for vaccines has tremendous benefits to the world and usefulness to society,” he said. “We’re thrilled that he’s made this discovery and that he’s obtained the NIH grant that will help him develop the technology into a useful product.”

HARVINDER GILL, ASSISTANT professor of chemical engineering received a five-year, $2.2 million grant from National Institutes of Health. The grant will allow Gill to study the use of pollen grains for oral vaccination.

Because of this grant, Gill said he will now have the funding to explore the potential of pollen grain-based oral vaccinations in animals, which is the next step in turning his research into a product.

This research, Gill said, also will help to establish Tech with the major research universities in the nation and will progress the goals of tier one.

With engineering researchers crossing over to the biomedical field, Michael San Francisco, interim vice president for research, said Tech will begin attracting

more companies and partnerships.

“When a junior faculty member achieves these kinds of goals, that’s just a stimulus for everybody,” San Francisco said. “It puts Texas Tech in a national perspective, too, because this is a national-level award. We had people from outside the university and outside the state evaluating this. National Institute of Health has a very transparent and very rigorous process in place and for a proposal to get funded is very good.” ➤➤kmckee@dailytoreador.com

Suspicions ignored as bosses at state crime lab let chemist work on BOSTON (AP) — Chemist Annie Dookhan was “Superwoman,” a colleague at a Massachusetts state crime lab used to joke. She seemed unstoppable in her quest to please prosecutors, police and her bosses, testing two to three times more drug samples than anyone else, working through lunch and not bothering to put in for overtime.

“The kind of person, if you owned your own business, you would want to hire her,” a supervisor would later tell police.

Beginning about four years ago, suspicions arose about the way she seemed to plow through so many cases so fast. After

that, a supervisor complained he never actually saw her in front of a microscope.

But her superiors let her work on.

Now, the startling explanation has come spilling out: Dookhan told investigators she faked test results on drug samples and cut other corners.

The scandal has created a legal morass of monumental proportions, with tens of thousands of drug cases in Massachusetts thrown into jeopardy.

Dookhan, 34, is still under investigation by the state attorney general and has not been charged, and investigators have offered no motive for the fakery. She has not responded to repeated requests for comment.

The fallout could be huge.

Gov. Deval Patrick ordered a shutdown last month of the Boston lab, and the scandal has led to a firing and two resignations, including that of the state public health commissioner, whose department oversaw the William A. Hinton State Laboratory Institute before it was transferred to the Massachusetts State Police over the summer.

A war room of sorts is being assembled to pick through Dookhan’s cases and determine which ones have been com-

promised.

Law enforcement officials say Dookhan tested more than 60,000 drug samples involving 34,000 defendants in her nine years at the lab. More than a dozen defendants are already back on the streets as authorities try to determine whether Dookhan’s actions tainted the evidence in their cases, and more could be sprung. Authorities say more than 1,100 inmates are doing time based at least in part on Dookhan’s work.

“It’s incalculable the damage she’s done ... not to say all the time, money and energy it’s going to take the commonwealth,” said defense attorney Bernie Grossberg, who has already had one client get out of prison and is being inundated with calls from others.

It remains to be seen if any lab supervisors face criminal consequences.

The governor said Thursday it was troubling that Dookhan and her supervisors “did not seem to understand the gravity” of her actions.

“I fully expect, and indeed I will say I hope that there are charges, and I think that all of those who are accountable for the impact on individual cases need to be held accountable,” Patrick said.

The governor has not said how much money he expects the state will have to spend dealing with the crisis, but on Thursday his budget chief, Jay Gonzalez, wrote to district attorneys, court administrators and other state officials asking for an initial estimate of the costs expected as a result of the lab breach.

The letter also seeks a description of the “scope, nature and timing” of the anticipated work.

Dookhan’s alleged confession and the missed warning signs were detailed in state police reports obtained this week by The Associated Press.

As early as 2008, a supervisor noticed Dookhan’s testing numbers were high.

He spoke to her superior, but nothing happened. In 2009, the supervisor took his concerns to another superior, saying he never saw Dookhan in front of a microscope.

In 2010, a supervisor did an audit of Dookhan’s paperwork but didn’t retest any of her samples. The audit found nothing wrong. The same year, a fellow chemist found seven instances where Dookhan incorrectly identified a drug sample as a certain narcotic when it was something else. He told himself it was an honest mistake.

In one incident detailed by state police, a lab employee witnessed Dookhan weighing drug samples without doing a balance check on her scale.

Dookhan was handling a staggering number of samples. An average chemist could test 50 to 150 samples a month, but Dookhan was doing more than 500, according to monthly reports, a lab employee told police later.

At one point in 2011, a top official even gave Dookhan a special project to try to slow her down.

Even though her husband is tentative regarding the possibility, Lancaster said she has the appointment set to dye her hair pink 10 a.m. Tuesday if her goal is met.

“People will probably ask me, ‘Why did you dye your hair pink?’” Lancaster said, “and it will actually create an opportunity for me to tell them the story of my fundraiser before the race is over, so I’m committed to it. I’m scared, but, you know. All in fun.”

Lancaster said she put her story on her Facebook and reached out to family and friends with her fundraising goal. After Lancaster reached $100, she changed her fundraising goal to $500. When $500 quickly followed, Lancaster changed her goal to $1,500.

Lancaster and her husband — a musician — are hosting a concert at their house Oct. 5 to benefit Susan G. Komen, she said.

Lambert said Lancaster dying her hair pink is out of character for her, but she is impressed Lancaster would make such a dramatic commitment.

“She is an incredibly inspiring woman,” Lambert said. “She just gets up and keeps going and I think participating in this and being a part of something like this — that is consistent with her character.”

As of 3 p.m. Thursday, Lancaster has reached 42 percent of her goal with $625 of the $1,500 goal.

he does play football and softball intramurals.

LONDON (AP) — After months of hype and anticipation, J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults has appeared, swept into the arms of hopeful booksellers and an army of grown-up Harry Potter fans eager to find out what his creator has done next.

A gritty and darkly humorous tale of ugly realities in a pretty English village, “The Casual Vacancy” seems a long way from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and reviewers gave it a mixed reception. But Rowling said Thursday she wasn’t worried about the response.

“I’ve had my books burnt,” said the author, whose magical stories were condemned as Satanist by some Christian groups. “I’ve got quite a way to go to upset people that much with ‘A Casual Vacancy.’”

A story of ambition, envy and rivalry, the novel recounts the civic warfare sparked in the fictional Pagford when the unexpected death of a town official leaves a vacancy on the governing body. Characters set on a collision course range from the affluent lawyer

Miles Mollison to the Weedons, a ramshackle clan living in The Fields, the run-down housing project on the edge of town.

Rowling told a 1,000-strong audience at London’s Southbank Centre that the idea for the book — “Local election sabotaged by teenagers, basically” — came to her on a plane several years ago.

Writing for a more adult readership, she said, had been “freeing” — though “in other senses it’s a challenging book,” told from multiple viewpoints.

Rowling said the book’s focus on teenagers, the heart of Pagford and of the novel, was not a million miles from her previous work — although these troubled and profane youngsters are “not Harry, Ron and Hermione.”

“They are very different teenagers,” Rowling said. “They are contemporary teenagers.”

The book’s sex and swearing have drawn the most comment so far — some audience members were startled to hear the F-word pass Rowling’s lips during Thursday’s reading. But the pres-

Stage for the Lubbock Music Fest.

The band’s third album will be released in late October, and Dawson said while the album’s sound is not completely different, it is new.

“It is the current sound of this band,” he said. “We’ve managed to find another little creek to run down electronically, so it’s our own personal style of electronics, rock music.”

And for people who have never seen Shiny Toy Guns in concert, Dawson promises drama.

“We’re a really dramatic band,” he said, “with lighting, and we get all dressed up and it’s very, very intense and dramatic. Everything we do is very intense and dramatic. We just have a lot of fun and we put a lot of energy and a lot of passion into our live show. It’s the most important part of this band, actually.”

Lubbock Music Fest will last all weekend, hosting different concerts and events throughout the Depot District. ➤➤pskinner@dailytoreador.com

‘Sons of Anarchy’ actor suspected of killing woman LOS ANGELES (AP) — An actor whose character died a violent death on the TV drama “Sons of Anarchy” plunged to his death in a driveway after apparently killing his landlady and attacking neighbors near Hollywood, police said Thursday.

Johnny Lewis, who played Kip “Half-Sack” Epps in the FX show, is the only suspect in the death of 81-yearold Catherine Davis, according to Los Angeles police.

Authorities found them dead Wednesday morning after neighbors reported a woman screaming inside the home, Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.

Lewis’ death ended in a turbulent nearly 10-month span during which he was repeatedly arrested and officials expressed concerns about his mental health and the danger he posed to others.

The home where Davis was found had been ransacked, glass was shattered and a dead cat was found.

Neighbors said a man had jumped a fence and assaulted a painter and homeowner next door.

The body of Lewis, 28, was found in the driveway. He could have jumped or fallen from the roof, garage or balcony, or tumbled down stairs from a patio area, Smith said.

Coroner’s investigative division Lt. Fred Corral said an autopsy found Davis’ cause of death was blunt head trauma and manual strangulation.

Lewis’ autopsy results will have to wait for toxicology tests to be completed, said Corral.

The deaths came about four months after a probation official expressed grave concern about Lewis’ mental health.

The report was prepared in a case in

the three nights. Though they are encouraged to play as much as males, it’s uncommon.

Rain or no rain, Ocasio said the intramurals are still going strong. Tech is set to host the regional flag football tournament for the next two years.

They awre a great experience, he said, and if a student is willing to try the Punt, Pass, Kick, they will probably want to join, and the same goes for the sports the event supports.

“Intramurals are all about fun,” he said. “Just give it a shot.” ➤➤hdavis@dailytoreador.com

took the women’s overall.

“It shows how good you measure up against the rest of campus,” Halfmann said. “You don’t usually get that opportunity.”

However, the opportunity was cut short this year, Wimmer said, as the final day of the competition was canceled because of the severe storms Wednesday night.

Ocasio said there would have otherwise been about an average of 50 participants per night, but the numbers were much lower this year. The event has been ongoing for years and most see about 25 females competing over

which Lewis was accused of attempting to break into the home of a woman in Santa Monica, Calif., and it described him as a transient. That case came about six weeks after Lewis hit two men over the head with a bottle during a fight.

The probation official wrote of being “very concerned for the well-being of not only the community but that of the defendant.”

The May 17 report goes on to state that “the defendant suffers from some form of chemical dependency, mental health issue and a lack of permanent housing. Given this, (Lewis) will continue

to be a threat to any community he may reside.”

Within days, Lewis was released to a treatment facility and he pleaded no contest to attempting to break into the home in mid-August.

He was placed on three years of supervised probation, sentenced to time-served in jail and no follow-up hearing was scheduled, court records show.

Lewis’ attorney Jonathan Mandel said the actor had serious mental issues that seemed to surface fairly recently. He said Lewis’ parents and others had tried desperately to help him.

ence of death is perhaps the book’s most adult element, and one that loomed over Harry Potter’s world, too.

“Death obsesses me,” Rowling said.

“I can’t understand why it doesn’t obsess everyone. Think it does. I’m just a little more ‘out.’”

Five years after the last Potter book appeared, Rowling remains the world’s most successful living writer. The lines were shorter and the wizard costumes missing, but “The Casual Vacancy” appeared to some of the same fanfare that greeted each Potter tome, with stores wheeling out crates of the books precisely at 8 a.m. as part of a finely honed marketing strategy.

And Rowling retains the intense loyalty of Potter fans. In contrast to the tight security that preceded the book’s release, the atmosphere at Thursday’ reading was warm; it felt like a reunion.

Several audience members asked Potter-related questions, which Rowling answered at length. One young man, wearing a “Rowling is our Queen” T-shirt, asked if her could give her a present. Rowling accepted it graciously.

Many in the crowd were young adults who had grown up on Harry Potter and we keen to follow her wherever she wanted to go.

“She’s been such an inspiration to everyone,” said 18-year-old university student Milly Anderson. “She’s not just influenced people’s childhoods — she’s molded them.”

Anderson said she was loving “The Casual Vacancy” — once she’d got over the change from stories of the boy wizard and his Hogwarts chums.

“There’s swearing and sex,” she said.

“It’s a bit of a shock.”

“The Casual Vacancy” is already at No. 1 on Amazon’s U.S. chart, and bookmaker William Hill put 2-1 odds on it outselling “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which shifted 2.6 million copies in Britain on its first day.

Reviews have been mixed. The Associated Press judged it a challenging but rewarding read full of emotion and heart.

However, The New York Times’ influential critic, Michiko Kakutani, was damning.

Apple should care more about foreign workers’ well-being f you are enjoying your new iPhone 5 that came out last Friday, this column may dampen through your already cracked screen. This week in China, Foxconn Technology – a preferred tech manufacturing company of Apple’s – closed one of their plants as worker unrest caused police to be summoned.

The New York Times reported that more than 1,000 workers joined in the riot aimed against security guards. 40 people were sent to the hospital.

This is not the first time Foxconn has been in the news for worker unrest due to poor working conditions. According to http://dailymail.co.uk, workers are subjected to 24-hour shifts, often working for a week without a day off.

There have been many suicides and suicide attempts at Foxconn.

According to the book “The Betrayal of the American Dream,”

Jordan Sigler Apple responded to the suicides by stringing nets around the dorms (the workers sleep on site) to catch suicidal workers. “Workers were reportedly required to sign a statement promising not to kill themselves and to ‘treasure their lives.’”

Apple claimed to be sorry that workers were acting as lemmings and pledged to ease the situation.

So far, the response has been inadequate.

This week has been strenuous on workers at Foxconn as they have been working hard to keep up with demand for the new iPhone 5. These riots will probably be on the rise. The Washington Post said that “growing economic pressure and impatience with

poor working conditions” would inevitably add to the unrest. Poor working conditions include being overworked and often being abused by security guards.

As the workers at this sweats h o p s u f f e r, the company they labor for is doing just fine. Apple’s stock last week crossed over $700 per share with the sale of the iPhone 5. In January, Apple reported a net profit of $13.06 billion for the first quarter of 2012, more than doubling the $6 billion mark set in the first quarter of the previous year.

The US-headquartered company has no reason to exploit workers in China this terribly. Instead of employing U.S. workers,

“

they prey on workers desperate for any job, who in turn find suicide a better option. Apple, however, has no reason to relent. Money is more important than the dignity to their workers.

This is a civil rights issue. Our comrades overseas need protection from exploitation, especially when these too-big-tofail companies break labor laws (Apple broke local labor laws in China). The U.S. should not allow imports to come ashore unless the workers in foreign countries enjoy the same labor laws as citizens in the United States.

This backwards way to make a cheap buck by exploiting foreign workers needs to come to an

end. It’s more than unethical for the U.S. to promote inhumane treatment of workers. Capitalism becomes a mockery when people throw themselves off buildings only to be caught by nets while trying to escape a position in life brought on simply by being born in a poor country.

Companies like Apple allow sweatshops to build their products because those sweatshops are located in countries where labor is cheap and often forced. The reason companies claim to do this is so they can afford to sell products to Americans at cheap prices, since American labor is expensive. We don’t allow our workers to work 24-hour shifts for $400 a month.

However, the savings don’t seem to add up to me. The products are still very expensive, and we see why. The absurd profits companies like Apple rake in show that American consumers are willing to pay exorbitant prices

Understanding renter rights and responsibilities The annual fall migration of students to college towns and cities across Texas can be intimidating for students who are renting their own place to live for the very first time. Knowledge about the legal protections afforded to renters can help protect their pocketbooks and take some stress out of the process.

Most landlords require a tenant’s signature on a lease.

Renters should read their leases carefully before they sign them.

Real-estate agents who know the rental market may be able to help and typically do not charge renters for their services because landlords pay the agents’ fees.

Renters who want to change a part of their lease should discuss the changes with the landlord.

If the landlord agrees, the two should decide how they want to phrase the change and write it into the agreement. Both parties should then initial the agreedupon change. For example, while many standard leases prohibit pets, some landlords may be willing to accept a pet if the tenant pays an extra security deposit.

Once renters have signed their leases, moved in and unpacked, they can expect to enjoy certain rights, which include: • Peace and quiet – A landlord cannot evict renters without cause nor can they disturb tenants’ right to enjoy their residence.

• Privacy – Tenants should study their leases carefully to determine the circumstances under which a landlord may enter their homes. Unless a lease agreement says that the landlord can enter the unit, the landlord has no right to do so, except perhaps in case of emergency or to conduct repairs the tenant has requested.

• Locks and security – Although there are some specific exceptions, under Texas law, a residence must be equipped with security devices such as window latches, keyed dead bolts on exterior doors, sliding door pin locks and sliding door handle latches or sliding door security bars. These devices must be installed at the landlord’s expense.

If these devices are missing or are defective, a tenant has the right to request their installation or repair.

Let us know what you think.

All available online now.

• Smoke detectors – The landlord must provide smoke detectors. A tenant may not waive that provision and may not disconnect or disable the smoke detector.

• Freedom from discrimination – Landlords are clearly prohibited from discriminating against renters because of their race, national origin, religion, gender, familial status or disability.

• Freedom from retaliation – Under Texas law, it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate within six months against a tenant who complained in good faith about necessary repairs.

Tenants also have a number of responsibilities of their own.

These obligations may include: • Paying rent in full and on time in accordance with the lease agreement.

• Appropriate upkeep of the rental property. The landlord may not charge the renter for normal wear and tear on the premises and may only charge for extraordinary damage.

• Notifying the landlord of necessary repairs in writing. If the landlord fails to make repairs that materially affect tenants’ health, safety or security, and

tenants follow the procedures required by law, tenants may be entitled to end their lease, have the problem repaired on their own and deduct the cost of the repair from their rent.

Tenants also could take legal action against a landlord who refuses to make required repairs.

If possible, renters should consult with an attorney or legal aid clinic before deciding how to proceed.

• Giving notice of a tenant’s intent to move out. Many leases require 30 days’ notice as a condition of returning a renter’s deposit – though some agreements require more than 30 days’ notice.

• Giving a landlord notice of a tenant’s forwarding address.

Landlords are required to return tenants’ security deposits or explanations of deductions within 30 days of their departure.

Property codes can be confusing. Texans who have questions about their specific situations can contact their local tenants’ councils or other resources listed in the “Points to Remember” section of this column.

The release of the iPhone 5 this past weekend marks five years since the launch of Apple’s smart phone back in 2007 that arguably kicked off the smart phone revolution. Nowadays, the iPhone faces stiff competition from Android phones, but there is still a quality that is unmatched in the iPhone. More than any device in recent years, the iPhone single-handedly provided a boost to the economy, while creating a smaller economy around itself.

The first and most obvious way the iPhone helps the economy is through its sales. Since its introduction, the different iterations of the iPhone have sold 244 million units. Those sales numbers look to continue upwards with the iPhone 5. According to JP Morgan, it is reported to increase GDP by 0.3%, which is significant considering it is a single device from one company.

However, the iPhone and a lot of other devices receive criticism for hurting the economy by manufacturing jobs overseas. It is a valid point that outsourcing hurts the American economy, but critics often overlook the other avenues in which the iPhone creates jobs. One of these avenues is the app store. Apple’s marketplace of mobile apps and games for the smartphone grew exponentially. The company already gave out $1 billion in royalties to their app developers, solely from the sales of apps. This excludes advertising or in-app purchases. Without the app store, companies like Rovio Games and success stories like Draw Something wouldn’t exist. Although not every app is a booming success, but 90% of the current 700,000 available apps are downloaded every month.

Everyone that owns an iPhone has had some interaction with the app store, but they’ve also probably had interaction with another facet of the iPhone economy, the accessories.

There are a variety of iPhone accessories available. Whether it’s just a case or a speaker system, iPhone owners made the iPhone accessories market worth $2-3 billion last year. Like the app store, this allows third parties to enter into the iPhone economy and design Copyright © 2012 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

for a new phone in order to have a slightly bigger screen.

So the price doesn’t come down very much when labor is moved overseas. The excess profits go to Apple, all too happy in this bear market where they are a bull.

I have no problem with Apple making plenty of profits. In fact, as long as they take care of their workers, they can make as much money as they want. However, if the consumer isn’t, and clearly they aren’t, willing to forgo a slimmer version of the iPhone (it’s not worth asking for a boycott; the iPhone is too fun for consumers to make a rational, ethical decision) for workers’ psyche, then the government should be involved with the process to at least ensure laws are being followed, if not even going so far as to force laborers to be treated humanely.

different cases, speakers, headphones and other smart phone compatible products. And thanks to the iPhone 5, these third parties will be revitalized.

Due to changes to the iPhone’s design and dock connector, consumers will need new cases and new accessories compatible with the iPhone 5 (unless they choose to purchase Apple’s adapter). This facet should continue to grow as analysts predict the iPhone accessories market will grow to about $5-6 billion in the next three years.

Even the hype of the iPhone helps the economy. It earns Apple and any other company related to the phone’s production free publicity and also the occasional boost in their stock prices.

On the other side of things, the iPhone provides plenty of traffic for tech blogs across the web. That, in turn, brings in traffic revenue. From experience, one of the sites I write for covers iPhone and Android news. To give you an idea about the effect of the hype, through writing about it for a tech site, I’ve learned that iPhone articles brought in substantially more traffic, which resulted in more money in my pocket.

At the key of any economy is innovation. Companies like Square would have never been started without the iPhone. And while it isn’t the sole source of innovation, the popular crowd funding site Kickstarter wouldn’t have reached the popularity it has now. The first major successful project for Kickstarter that brought it to the mainstream was the Pebble. The project was a watch that linked to and allowed you to control your iPhone. It received over $10,000,000 in funding after originally asking for $100,000.

This sparked a boom of innovative ideas on the platform ranging from new iPhone cases, camera lens adapters, foldable keyboards, and plenty of other ideas.

Only some of these ideas will go on to create businesses. The employees of these businesses, the revenue that is brought, and the innovative opportunities available all owe their existence to the iPhone. More than any modern device, the iPhone has created multiple means of adding a boost to the economy and it is a good thing that Apple decided to do “one more thing.”

New, more confident Tech team ready for Iowa State

By MICHAEL DUPONT II STAFF WRITER

Students remember what happened a year ago. The spoils of victory that vaulted the Red Raiders into the national spotlight immediately followed by a crushing defeat that plummeted Texas Tech from its 15 seconds of fame.

Iowa State (3-0, 0-0) proved too much for Tech (3-0, 0-0) a year ago but the past must remain in the past. This is a new season, a different team with a newfound confidence.

The Red Raiders (3-0, 0-0) will open Big 12 play against Iowa State (3-0, 0-0) at 6 p.m.

Saturday in Ames, Iowa, at Jack Trice Stadium.

Quarterback Seth Doege said the results of the last two meetings between the teams prove it’s important for Tech’s offense to put points on the board early.

“It’s huge for us to get started and score points early,” he said, “that way we can get them out of their rhythm of just playing this solid, constant football and they actually have to get out of their element a little bit to catch up.”

Comparatively, the Cyclones have scored nine touchdowns this season and are ranked 66th among scoring offenses according to USA Today. The Red Raiders are ranked sixth in total offense and have scored 19 touchdowns this season.

Doege said he expects the Iowa State fans to be very loud and excited during the game

and for the atmosphere to be different than what some players have grown accustomed to.

“I think (the seniors) mentioned to the young guys that it’s going to be different from what they have been playing in,” Doege said. “It’s not Texas State.”

The Cyclones have gotten the better of Tech in the last two seasons and some may see this game as a platform for the Red Raiders to show how much they’ve improved since last fall.

Head coach Tommy Tuberville said he doesn’t want to look at any game as a must-win.

Instead, he wants to see his players relax, have fun, improve each week and see what happens from there.

“You don’t want to go into any game and say, ‘Hey, this is a game we have got to win,’” Tuberville said. “It will be hard for anybody to go undefeated in this league.”

The Red Raiders have a more balanced attack on both sides of the ball than they’ve had in the past. Tech ranks among the top 25 in scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense, total defense, rushing offense and rushing defense.

Tuberville, however, believes these statistics will change, as Red Raiders will face a tougher test during the next nine weeks than what they have had.

“It’s good to have some success,” he said. “I think our guys are building confidence. The reality will set in, in terms of what we are getting ready to

get into.”

The offensive line still remains in question, as position battles are still very much in tact entering conference play.

Offensive coordinator Neal Brown said the jury is still out

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Brandon Marshall wishes he would have just stayed quiet. So he’ll chalk up this spat with Warren Sapp as a learning experience.

The Chicago Bears receiver apologized for retaliating with some harsh comments after being called a “retard” — even though he wasn’t backing off what he said.

“I really meant everything I said, but I think it would have helped (Sapp) more if I would have kept it private,” Marshall said Thursday. “I apologize to Warren Sapp for saying that publicly. Like I said, I meant everything I said, but where I’m at in my life, you know, I need to learn from that and keep that privately.”

Marshall has acknowledged receiving treatment for borderline personality disorder and anger management, and after Sapp called him a “retard” in a radio interview,

Brown thinks Iowa State’s defense deserves more recognition than it has received as of

Bears WR Marshall apologizes to Sapp

Follow The DT n Twitter

he didn’t hold back.

He said in an online video posted Monday that he couldn’t discuss finances with Sapp “because he filed for bankruptcy” or marriage “because he filed for divorce.” He also said in the video on that he couldn’t speak to him about becoming a father some day because “he’s not active in his children’s life,” and he posted on Twitter later that day that Sapp apparently challenged him to a fight.

On Thursday, Marshall said he had exchanged emails with Sapp, an NFL Network analyst, before posting the video and that it didn’t go well. All that stemmed from an interview with the syndicated “The Dan Patrick Show” in which Sapp ripped today’s players in general for not respecting the past and teed off on Marshall in particular for “talking about Shannon Sharpe” for apparently not realizing this: “He’s the

first 100-catch receiver (tight end) back to back, retard.”

It appeared he actually confused Shannon Sharpe with his brother Sterling, an NFL Network analyst who had questioned Marshall’s effort in the Dolphins’ loss to the New York Jets a year ago. Marshall responded at the time, saying the commentators need to stop worrying about stuff they know nothing about.

But the spat was just the latest round of drama for a player who just can’t seem to avoid it. Marshall came to Chicago with a checkered history and found himself in the headlines when a woman accused him of punching her in the face at a New York City nightclub. His attorney said that was not true, and nothing ever came of the incident.

Now, this.

“Some people say I have the talent to do that job when I’m maybe

done, but it will be really tough for me because I know that when it is all said and done, I wasn’t perfect,” Marshall said. “I didn’t play perfect football. You definitely have to criticize and give constructive criticism, but when you criticize guys like you’ve never made mistakes before, it just puts you in a bad position. I wish there was another way to do it.

I know there is another way to do it, but would expect a lot from guys that have played the game before and understand how tough it is mentally and physically week in and week out. So like I said, we definitely need to use our words, whether you are a football player or not, to uplift and not to destroy because our tone is so powerful.”

Marshall’s focus now is on giving the Bears’ offense a lift and helping it meet the lofty expectations that his arrival from Miami sparked.

tion that Sandusky approached him through a summer camp for youth sponsored by The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth that the former coach had founded. Their initial contacts consisted of football games and swimming, and Sandusky would attend the boy’s wrestling tournaments.

Physical contact began with a hand on his leg in the car, Victim 1 said, and he began spending nights at the Sandusky home in State College, about 30 miles from his own home in Lock Haven.

Kissing and back rubbing during those overnight visits, when he was in his early teens, progressed to oral sex, he testified, sobbing. He said Sandusky eventually told him: “It’s your turn.”

“I don’t how to explain it, I froze,” he said. “My mind is telling me to move but I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t move.”

He told jurors his own behavior worsened, going from a well-behaved child to fights with relatives and bed wetting. His grades deteriorated.

After Victim 1 began trying to avoid Sandusky, he asked his mother about websites for child molesters, “to see if Jerry was on there,” he testified.

His mother set up a meeting with school guidance counselors, a process that led to the opening of a police investigation and produced criminal charges against Sandusky in November.

Messages seeking comment left Thursday for Victim 1’s civil lawyers, Slade McLaughlin and Michael Boni, were not immediately returned.

ARLINGTON (AP) — Ian Kinsler and the Texas Rangers moved closer to another AL West title with a split.

They can now wrap up another division title at home even before having to face the chasing Athletics again next week in Oakland.

Kinsler hit a leadoff homer to start a five-run first inning, Matt Harrison got his 18th victory and the two-time defending American League champions held on for a 9-7 victory Thursday. By splitting the four-game series, the Rangers maintained their four-game division lead

over the A’s with six to play.

“Never doubted it,” manager Ron Washington said of his team’s response after losing consecutive games at home. “The worse we were looking for was a split. They can also play, and we got what we wanted.”

The Rangers’ magic number for clinching the division was three heading into a weekend series at home against the Angels, starting Friday. With Los Angeles’ loss to Seattle, the Rangers can clinch a playoff spot with a win or Angels loss.

Kinsler’s 19th homer was his

majors-best seventh leadoff shot this season. The Rangers had four consecutive two-out hits, capped

by Mike Napoli’s two-run homer off Travis Blackley (5-4).

That came after the A’s (88-68) had their own five-run first inning in a 9-3 win Wednesday night, after winning in 10 innings the night before that.

Texas (92-64) scored in each of the first four innings against three different pitchers, matching Oakland run-for-run in the second through the fourth until the A’s hit three solo homers in the eighth off Mike Adams.

“We constantly kept the momentum in our favor, if you don’t look at the three home runs in the eighth.

We responded to them,” Kinsler said.

“We want to be a team that’s tough to put away.”

Josh Reddick homered twice for the A’s, who wrapped up a 20-game stretch of six series in six cities and won 12 times. They finish the regular season at home, with a three-game weekend series against Seattle before hosting the Rangers starting Monday night. “’’We don’t have any negative thoughts right now,” Reddick said.

“It’s going to be good to go home.

We’ve been on the road for a month. ... We can’t rely on LA to lose and

we can’t rely on Texas to fall back.

We know we’re just not going to back down.”

The A’s, whose 51-26 record since the start of July is best in the majors, were two games ahead of the Angels.

Harrison (18-10) went six innings, allowing four runs and seven hits, to become the Rangers’ first 18-game winner since Kenny Rogers in 2004.

The All-Star left-hander is scheduled to start once more in the regular season, with a chance for the most wins since Rick Helling’s 20 in 1998.

“Matt wasn’t at his best, but he was able to fight through a lot of things and he was able to make pitches when he had to,” Washington said.

“It was a battle for me all day,” Harrison said. “All credit goes to the offense. They scored nine runs, kept us on top of the game.”

Joe Nathan worked a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his 36th save in 38 chances.

Reddick had one of Oakland’s homers in the eighth off reliever Mike Adams. Jonny Gomes had three hits, including an RBI double.

Blackley lasted only one inning, allowing five runs and five hits with a wild pitch.

to discuss the offer with others.

Griffin’s agent contacted authorities. Under the FBI’s direction, the agent reached an agreement to pay Hurd $120,000 for the information and his signature on a nondisclosure agreement. Hurd arrived June 22 at a law office to sign the paperwork and collect the check. FBI agents arrested him afterward.

Hurd’s attorney didn’t immediately return a phone message.

Leaving court Thursday, Hurd responded to a request for comment with, “Sic ‘em, Bears,” the Waco Tribune-Herald reported.

Griffin was drafted No. 2 by the Redskins this year and signed a four-year deal for more than $21 million. He has thrown for 747 yards and four touchdowns in three games.

The Redskins are 1-2.

A team spokesman declined to comment.

DALLAS (AP) — A former Baylor basketball player pleaded guilty Thursday to trying to extort $1 million from Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III by threatening to expose damaging information, prosecutors said.

Richard Khamir Hurd, 26, pleaded guilty to one count of interstate communication of a threat related to extortion. He faces two to three years in prison when he’s sentenced Nov. 21.

The U.S. attorney’s office said Hurd, a former walk-on basketball player at the school where Griffin won the Heisman Trophy, contacted one of Griffin’s agents in June with a demand of $1 million in order not to release information that would damage the quarterback’s reputation.

According to an FBI affidavit, Hurd first gave the agent a deadline of June 18 but extended it to give the agent time

Tech cross-country teams headed to Lawrence

By MEGAN KETTERER STAFF WRITER

The Texas Tech cross-country teams travel to Lawrence, Kan. to compete in the Kansas Rim Rock Classic.

Junior women’s runner Chelsea Scott said she is looking to improve her time and get out to the course and compete.

Scott came in fifth place with a time of 19:37.94 in the 5K event at Tech’s only home meet, the Red Raider Open on Sept. 14.

The cross-country teams have never run the course in Lawrence, Kan. before, Scott said, but she is looking forward to the race and seeing the course.

“It’s going to be something new and something different,” she said, “but whatever it is, we’re going to get after it.”

The teams are going to go to the course the day before and warm up on it to have a better idea of what it will be like, she said.

Freshman Marcos Vallejo said the team’s previous races have given them confidence. Vallejo finished in tenth place with a time of 26:18.41 in the 8K event at the Red Raider Open in Lubbock.

“Because the team is young,” he said, “this is the second time some of the runners have competed in an 8K event, so it will be a good experience.

“I feel like our team is really strong,” “Working together in practice, I think we’re all really excited to race.”

He hopes for the Red Raiders to place at the top at the meet, Vallejo said, and to

Sandusky victim testifies NEW YORK (AP) — A key witness against convicted child molester and former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, known in court papers as Victim 1, has a book deal and will soon reveal his identity, a publisher announced Thursday.

Ballantine Bantam Dell said that “Silent No More: Victim (hash)1’s Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky,” is coming out Oct. 23. The memoir will be co-written by the victim’s mother and psychologist and “will share how he survived years of shame and secrecy, harassment and accusation, before reporting Sandusky’s actions to the authorities, and will offer a hopeful and inspiring message for victims of abuse,” Ballantine announced.

Victim 1, now 18, will reveal his identity on the day of the book’s release in an interview with ABC’s Chris Cuomo.

Financial terms for the book were not disclosed. But Ballantine, an imprint of Random House Inc., plans a donation to a charity for victims of child abuse.

Victim 1 first alerted authorities in 2008 and helped launch the investigation leading to Sandusky’s conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Prosecutors said some of the assaults took place on the Penn State campus. Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced next month and is likely to receive a sentence that will keep him in prison for life.

Victim 1 testified for the prosecu-

be close to becoming nationally ranked.

Vallejo said traveling as a team to Kansas will be help to bond the team.

“It’s really exciting to go and race other teams and be with fellow teammates,” he said, “just trying to watch each other do really well.”

He said the team is excited to run in a more competitive race.

“We’re going against people in our region that are ranked above us,” Vallejo said. “We have a really good young team

so far, so we’re really excited to race against some of them.”

Tech coach Jon Murray said the upcoming race should be good for the team for many reasons, including having better competition.

“The competition is much better than what we’ve seen all year,” Murray said. “Having a couple nationally-ranked teams in both the men and women’s race is good.”

Seeing different competition from a

different part of the country will help the runners, he said.

This young team is trying to learn lessons, he said, and see how to handle the competition.

“They’re feeling really good about where they are and what they’re doing, so this is the next test to get them ready for the Big 12 meet.”

Tech women’s soccer looking to tally first Big 12 win

By HOLDEN WILEN STAFF WRITER

After splitting both of its games last weekend, the Texas Tech soccer team will look to notch its first win against Big 12 competition when they take on Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Friday evening at the John B. Walker Soccer Complex.

The Lady Raiders (8-3-0, 0-1-0) lost their Big 12 opener last week to West Virginia 3-2 on a penalty kick, but came back Sunday and beat New Mexico State 5-0. With a 4-1-0 record in Big 12 home-openers under coach Tom Stone, the team is confident about its chances this weekend.

Led by freshman Janine Beckie’s team-leading seven goals, Tech has outscored their opponents 23-11 while outshooting them 188-108. Sophomore Paige Strahan is second on the team with five goals after scoring four goals in the team’s last three matches.

“It’s really crazy just because I only scored one goal last year and it wasn’t even with my feet,” Strahan said. “I really am just in a rhythm, and my mindset is completely different towards goal, which is what I’ve been working on so it’s great.”

The whole team has a great mindset and is prepared to play back-to-back games against Big 12 competition, Strahan said. After facing West Virginia last week, she said the team is prepared to face a Sooners squad that plays a similar style.

Oklahoma (4-5-3, 0-1-1) comes into Friday’s match having lost three of its last five matches, including a 1-0 loss to Texas at home Sunday. The Sooners are led by senior forward Renae Culler, who has scored seven of the team’s 12 goals this season on a team-leading 44 shots.

Defensively, senior goalkeeper Kelsey Devonshire’s 54 saves lead the Big 12.

While the Sooners have struggled under new head coach Tom Potters, they beat Oklahoma State, which was ranked No. 3 at the time, 1-0. The Lady Raiders are not taking Oklahoma lightly, said coach Tom Stone.

“This is the best Oklahoma team I’ve seen in years,” Stone said. “They’re very well organized. The new guy has got them all in the right places. He’s substituting in a manner with which he’s allowed his best players to be as fresh as possible. They know who they are.”

Under Stone, the Lady Raiders are undefeated against Oklahoma, going

TEXAS TECH MIDFIELDER, Alli Murphy, jumps to avoid a slide from New Mexico State defensive, Courtney Irwin, and midfielder, Mary Kate Koziol, during Tech’s 5-0 win against the Aggies at the John B. Walker Soccer Complex on Saturday.

4-0-1 and outscoring the Sooners 10-2.

While he hopes the success continues, Stone said Friday’s match would be an even contest.

“We’ve done well at their place and we’ve done well here, so we want to keep that trend going,” Stone said. “It’s the Big 12 so all bets are off when you get a Big 12 team matched up with another one.

The games are pretty even.”

The Lady Raiders will complete the weekend with a 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon match against Iowa State, which has won three of its last four contests.

The Cyclones (8-4-0, 0-1-0) lost their Big 12 opener to Texas 4-0, but followed up with a 7-0 victory against South Dakota. They will face Oklahoma State before taking on Tech.

Led by junior forward Lubbock and

native Jennifer Dominguez and sophomore defender Ashley Johnson, Iowa State has outscored opponents 28-13 and outshot them 189-125. Dominguez has scored seven goals this season while Johnson leads the team in shots with 26.

Playing in the confines of the John B. Walker Soccer Complex has worked out well so far this season for the Lady Raiders.

After playing so many road games, Stone said the team is ready to play back-

to-back Big 12 games at home, and put on a show for the fans.

“We navigated our way through that marathon road swing and have come back ready” Stone said. “For the fans who haven’t seen us for about four or five weeks, we’ve gotten a lot better, and I think they’re going to be pleased. The team’s ready.” ➤➤hwilen@dailytoreador.com
