Driver says distracted in cabin before crash (AP) — The driver of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer that collided with a bus and killed four members of a Texas community college softball team told investigators he had been distracted by something in his cabin before the accident, authorities said Sunday.

The truck was northbound on Interstate 35 near Davis, Oklahoma Friday night when it veered across the median and smashed into the bus carrying 15 members of the North Central Texas College women’s softball team and driven by their coach.

The truck, driven by Russell Staley, 53, of Saginaw, Texas, continued off the interstate. Staley was treated for injuries and released. There were no charges pending against him.

“He (Staley) said he was distracted by something in the cabin,” said Oklahoma Highway Patrol Capt.

Ronnie Hampton, who declined to say what the distraction was. He said that investigators do not necessarily agree with Staley’s explanation.

The Highway Patrol will eventually turn over the results of its investigation to the local district attorney, who will decide whether to pursue criminal charges.

Walk counters rape culture

Marriage ban stalls changes to pensions DALLAS (AP) — Two Dallas city pension funds have delayed enacting measures passed by the city council aimed at ensuring equal rights for municipal employees.

The council earlier this year adopted a nonbinding resolution seeking equal treatment for gay, bisexual and transgender employees.

It followed that vote with another Wednesday that amends personnel rules to prohibit discrimination.

The resolution was drafted by John Rogers, who has since retired as a Dallas assistant city attorney. He’s now pushing for adoption of the rights called for by the resolution he wrote, a move that would benefit his husband and him.

“There’s no reason they can’t implement this,” he told The Dallas Morning News. “For some reason, the pension board is stonewalling on it. It’s ridiculous, and they need to just fix it.”

But leaders of the city’s two pension funds — one for civilian employees and the other for public safety workers — say changing the plans is a complicated process.

One obstacle is that the changes would allow same-sex spouses who outlive city pensioners to receive lifetime benefits. But Texas doesn’t recognize same-sex marriage.

LEFT: DEVRON CHANEY, a resident of Lubbock, participated in the Slut Walk on Satruday on Broadway.

In 2011, a Toronto police officer said to a group of students that women should avoid getting raped by not dressing like sluts.

This started Slut Walk, an organized march to demonstrate the feminist theory that a woman’s attire is not related to sexual assault and to end victim blaming. The Lubbock Slut Walk took place Saturday along Broadway Avenue.

The overarching goal for Slut Walk, according to its Facebook page, is to create societal change and eradicate rape culture.

Jeff Ross, assistant professor of psychology at South Plains College, helped organize the event, and he said it is important to raise awareness like this at college campuses.

“I think because women going to college are more likely to be sexually assaulted, it’s important to start here,” he said. “Colleges tend to be more liberal, and it boggles my

mind they’re so far behind on this.”

Ross said the reason women are more likely to be sexually assaulted is because they are around young men. Research shows young men are more dangerous, he said, because they try to display their masculinity for their friends or a group of men and sometimes do not accept “no” as an answer.

Rheanna Archer, another organizer of Slut Walk Lubbock, said the recent allegations against the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, which allegedly had a sign that read “no means yes, yes means anal” at an unsanctioned chapter event, is an example of the rape culture she hopes to end through societal change and movements like Slut Walk.

“I want people to realize rape culture is a thing, and it’s not an OK thing,” she said. “I hope people realize that and that survivors know they’re not alone.”

High school and college students alike attended the event to raise awareness of victim blaming in rape culture. Daniel Ortiz,

a student at Coronado High School, learned about the event from a friend.

“We have a very strict dress code and I think that stems from issues like this,” he said. “Our school thinks girls who dress a certain way or act a certain way are egging on for trouble.”

John Lucio, a student at South Plains College, said he was always taught to respect women, specifically from his grandmother, and his respect for women is what inspired him to attend Slut Walk.

“I think the first step is getting everyone aware and just getting the news out there and showing this is a big issue,” he said. “It also gives women who have been or could be hurt hope.”

In addition to students, former Marine Loren Lora participated in Slut Walk because she saw instances of sexual assault in the military.

She said that as more of these issues came to the surface, the more the Marine Corps did about the issue.

“The Marine Corps was really good about at least once a year educating you on sexual assault,” she said. “It was definitely not tolerated.”

Lora said she often saw women not come forward about their assaults because it was among someone who was a higher rank than them or they were afraid.

She thought citizens were more aware of these issues, she said.

“I really thought the civilian world was different and that everyone was aware of it, but they’re not,” she said. “I think that’s why these events are important.”

President of Tech Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, Sophia Dominguez, also attended the event. According to Dominguez, it was important for her to attend the event in order for her to show her support for feminism and women’s rights to their bodies.

“Just because we wear clothes that you deem as slutty doesn’t mean you have a right to our bodies,” she said. “No means no, the blame isn’t on the victim, it’s on the rapist.”

Alumna assists with STEM MBA

By ANTHONY ESTOLANO Staff Writer

A dream career did not come easy for Ginger Kerrick, flight director at NASA. After graduating from Texas Tech and being denied admittance into a NASA co-op program because of a low GPA, Kerrick continued to work at getting into NASA by first getting an internship.

Kerrick returned to Tech on Friday to speak to students at a private lunch about enrolling in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Master of Business Administration course offered at the Rawls College of Business, where she was recently hired to teach a course, and how she got a job with NASA. “Getting from Tech to NASA was horrifying,” Kerrick said. “During the

summer of my internship, I was able to meet enough people where they would remember who I was, and I was able to get into the program.”

After getting into KERRICK her desired program, Kerrick said she returned to Tech to obtain her graduate degree.

Kerrick said after she got her degree, she intended to return to work at NASA. “I was supposed to go back to NASA to work permanently, but the president had put out a hiring freeze,” Kerrick said.

“So I stayed here at Tech one additional semester and took some business classes at Rawls College of Business until the hiring freeze was lifted.”

After the freeze was lifted, Kerrick said she was hired at NASA. Mary Weatherly, director of graduate and professional programs at Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration, said the STEM MBA program at Tech is a one-year course.

“You have to have a science, technology, engineering or math background,” she said. “We start every January, June and August. We have currently started groups and we are now recruiting for January.”

Weatherly said the program allows the school to take the courses and curriculum and make them STEM industry specific.

The program currently has 20 to students per group, Weatherly said.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, affecting one in every five Americans in the course of their lifetime.

Every year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined cases of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation website.

Since 1979, the Skin Cancer Foundation has been educating the public ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

and medical professionals about skin cancer, its prevention by means of sun protection and the need for early detection and prompt, effective treatment by doctors.

LUSHNIAK Luke Johnson, a dermatology resident at the Texas Tech Human Sciences Center, said it is important to identify any unusual spots and visit a dermatologist if questions arise.

BUSINESS: 806-742-3388

“If you or a friend has noticed a suspicious spot on your body that wasn’t there before or one is changing,” Johnson said, “it’s a good idea to have a dermatologist take a look at it.”

The first sign may be a slowly growing bump, a changing mole or a dry and scaly rough patch, according to the American Academy of Dermatology website.

Johnson said basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer.

Student loans become more manageable

However, loans seem to be becoming more manageable. According to the U.S. Department of Education website, the default rate for students in repayment has dropped to 13.7 percent from 14.7 percent. Though the decrease in the default rate is a positive sign, the numbers are still far too high, according to the website.

More than 80 percent of students attending a four-year institution are borrowing money from the government.

Carolina Gallardo, a freshman business major from Del Rio, said that the current cost of attending a four-year university is far too high.

Most students are not sure what it is that makes college so expensive, Gallardo said, it could be the cost of living, the cost of books and housing, or it could be the overall cost of tuition.

She said most students can agree that the price of higher education is much too steep for most students to pay on their own, which is where financial aid

counseling requirements, repayment options and guidance programs, according to the website. For instance, many prospective college students are now required to complete loan counseling to ensure they are up to date on their loan contracts, according to the website.

This past June, the government also advised the Department of Education to allow monthly loan payments for borrowers to consider the borrower’s income. Only 10 percent of the borrower’s monthly income is expected to be put aside for repayment, according to the website.

Katharine Grimes, a freshman business major from Frisco, said paying to attend a four-year college is, in many ways, a cycle. Grimes said students put

several thousand dollars into their college careers, and from there, with their newly earned degrees, will hopefully join a career which will help repay all of their student loans.

“Unless you get a really good job, you’re going to be paying them off for like, a long time. College is expensive, so you have to get a really good job to pay it all back, otherwise it’s going to take a long time and be real hard,” she said.

According to the website, the U.S. Department of Education has begun taking percentages of default rates based on individual schools and comparing them to one another.

Honors College dean creating community for students

By DANI COPELAND Staff Writer

Since becoming Dean of the Honors College on Jan. 1, Michael San Francisco said he has an idea to build a sense of community among the college’s members.

San Francisco said he proposed having four different houses in the Honors College and sorting the students randomly among the houses, like he had back at his school in India.

“When I went to school in India from fourth grade to twelfth grade, we had houses. This was in the sixties, before Harry Potter,” San Francisco said. “I belonged to this house throughout this period of time. It always seemed

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation website, an estimated 2.8 million cases are diagnosed each year. Basal cell carcinoma is an abnormal, uncontrolled growth that may appear as an open sore, red patch, shiny bump or scar. It occurs on the parts of the body excessively exposed to the sun, especially the face, neck, shoulders and back.

Basal cell carcinoma is easily treated in its early stages, rarely spreading beyond the original tumor site.

After the initial dermatology examination, a biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis, and if tumor cells are present, treatment can be determined based on the size, location and penetration of the tumor, according to the Skin

to me as a great way to share and stimulate teamwork.”

He said whenever he exceled in academics, athletSAN FRANCISCO ics or theater, anything would be counted in a points system for his house. At the end of the year he said there was a big celebration for the house that did best.

San Francisco said the process from his school will be the same here. The average GPA of each house, quality of community service and awards a student receives throughout the year will count as points for each house.

In May, there will be a celebration in the honors community and the house with the most points will win an award.

He said the four groups will be named from the honors’ ideals: knowledge, integrity, service and courage. Each group will have a faculty and staff mentor and the house is named after four individuals who represent the history of the Honors College, but San Francisco didn’t say who.

There will be scarves for each of the houses, San Francisco said.

Components of the scarf will represent the Honors College as a whole, but the ends of the scarf will have the emblem of what house they belong in.

“This allows us to walk on cam-

Cancer Foundation website.

The root of the problem, Boris Lushniak, U.S. surgeon general, said, according to an article from The Associated Press, is the lack of protection available when children and young adults are out and about.

“We need more states and institutions on board with these policies that discourage or restrict indoor tanning by our youth,” he said.

“Tanned skin is damaged skin.”

Johnson said one form of treatment the Tech Human Sciences Center Dermatology clinic uses is when the physician scrapes off the cancerous growth with a curette, a sharp ring-shaped instrument. The heat produced from an electrodessication needle destroys residual tumor and controls bleeding.

Research shows that more than 419,000 cases of skin cancer in the United States each year are linked to indoor tanning, according to the

Skin Cancer Foundation website.

If found and treated in its early stages, melanoma can be curable. But if melanoma is allowed to grow, it can spread to other parts of the body and become deadly.

Treatments for melanoma depend on the severity of the cancer and how far it has spread.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, if the cancer is in one location, the removal of melanoma can take place during an office visit.

However, if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation may be required.

Johnson said it is important to take precautions and to protect your skin from all forms of skin cancer while out in the sunlight.

“Big, wide-brimmed hats when you go out in the sun, we like those a lot,” Johnson said.

“Sunscreen, the exact SPF really isn’t as important as remembering to put some on and reapplying is also important. Every two to three hours if you’re going to be out in the sun for awhile.”

According to the American Academy of Dermatology website, it is best to be outdoors before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m. when the sun’s rays are less intense.

Inspecting your body from head-to-toe every month and visiting a dermatologist for a skin exam once a year will help prevent skin cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation website.

pus and be able to recognize what students are involved in the Honors College,” San Francisco said.

Students will be sorted into each of the houses randomly and there will be captains for each house, either a senior or junior, who will work with the mentors and house, he said.

Although the idea is coming from San Francisco’s school experience in India, Dayna DeBeau, a sophomore business major from Round Rock, said she compared the sorting and houses to Harry Potter.

“I think it’s a good idea. I like the concept and I’m a huge Harry Potter fan,” DeBeau said. “I think it’s going to be focused more toward the freshmen and incoming fresh-

men since they will be the most involved in the Honors College once they come in.”

Whenever freshmen first come into college, they need to find a place to fit in or be involved, DeBeau said. If this new idea was created when she was a freshman, she would have joined in.

She said having the house process created and promoted to freshmen will also encourage students to join the Honors College as well as feel that sense of community.

“The Honors College is very small. It’s good to try and make it as tight knit as possible,” she said.

“This gives the students that feeling of belonging that a lot of places don’t have.”

Heather Medley, assistant

director of the Honors College, said the college sent out emails to receive feedback from current students involved in the program and the response has been nothing but positive.

San Francisco said he is hoping the houses build better interactions among the students, especially with a generation where young people spend more time focusing on their electronics instead of “looking out and up”.

The sorting will be Oct. 9 in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Around 1,300 students will be sorted into their respective houses. Freshmen will be sorted first since they are new to the Honors College program. ➤➤dcopleland@dailytoreador.com

Students balance work to pay for tuition Staff Writer

For some students, working in college is not an option. For others, it is a necessity.

On average, according to the Texas Tech Office of Financial Aid website, a student who is a resident of Texas will spend $9,608 a year on tuition and $9,384 on room and board during the 2014-15 school year.

Additionally, the same student will spend an average of $1,200 for books and school supplies, $2,300 on transportation fees and about $2,000 on personal expenses.

This totals to $24,162 for the

school year and requires some students to balance work and school.

“I think that students who work now to help pay for school are going to be better off in the long run,” Nancy Muños, a freshman art major from Abernathy, said. “They won’t be so far in debt, they’ll be better off financially later.”

Students experience positives and negatives of having a job, she said.

With work comes the need to prioritize and make sure that their grades stay up and they still have time to be a student, she said.

The widespread disruption left some aviation analysts, travelers and politicians calling for a smoother backup plan and wondering how one person could be in a position to wreak so much havoc.

“Chicago O’Hare International Airport cannot be brought to a screeching halt,” said Republican Sen. Mark Kirk, of Illinois. “I want to see not only an immediate review by the FAA of the screening process at the Chicago Air Route Traffic Control Center in Aurora, but also a report within 30 days outlining changes the FAA will make to prevent any one individual from having this type of impact on the heart of the United States economy.”

An FAA spokeswoman did not immediately have a response, but an agency statement on Friday’s fire emphasized that air space management was immediately transferred to other facilities.

The FAA said it conducts employee background checks on contract workers like Howard who have access to FAA facilities, information or equipment. Contract employees, like other staff at the Aurora facility, also must have their identification inspected by a perimeter guard and must swipe their cards to gain access to the building.

Howard entered the building around 5 a.m. Friday, and about 30 minutes later posted a suicide note on Facebook in which he

Frances said the first STEM MBA group will graduate in May. Students obtaining these degrees will help students when searching for a career, she said.

“Students’ technical backgrounds will really play a key important part for the first part of their career,” Frances said. “As they transition, if they want to continue business management, that is when this will be really beneficial.”

People should be educated in science and technology fields, Kerrick said, and having the ability to market a product is also equally important.

Air travel system recovers CHICAGO (AP) — The nation’s air travel system slowly began to recover Saturday after an alleged act of employee sabotage at a large regional air traffic control center brought Chicago’s two international airports to a halt.

At the height of the travel misery Friday, more than 2,000 flights in and out of O’Hare and Midway airports had been canceled, sending waves of travel disruption rippling across the country.

Authorities say a contract employee started a fire Friday morning in the basement telecommunications room of a control center in the Chicago suburb of Aurora and then attempted to commit suicide by slashing his throat. Brian Howard, 36, of Naperville, was charged with destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony. The FBI said Howard remains hospitalized and no court date has been scheduled.

As of late Saturday afternoon, total Chicago flight cancelations for the day stood at more than 780 — still a damagingly high number, but an improvement. Southwest Airlines, the dominant carrier at Midway, had hoped to resume a full flight schedule Saturday, but had to cancel all flights between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. CDT.

“a big mess,” according to a federal criminal complaint.

“Take a hard look in the mirror, I have,” the post says, according to the FBI special agent who prepared the complaint. “And this is why I am about to take out ZAU and my life.”

ZAU is the three-letter designation for the Aurora facility.

Minutes later, someone at the facility called 911 to report the fire. A relative who saw the Facebook post also alerted authorities. Paramedics followed a trail of blood past a gas can, two knives and a lighter and found the suspect slashing his throat, the complaint said. He also had cuts to his arms.

One of the paramedics pulled the knife from his hands as the suspect called out, “Leave me alone,” according to the complaint.

Greg Abbott campaign receives $1M AUSTIN (AP) — Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott has received more than $1 million in campaign contributions from recipients of a state economic development fund that was the focus of a critical state audit.

Abbott, in his role as Texas attorney general, is bound by law to monitor state accounts and recover misspent money.

The audit, released Thursday, said about a third of all the money handed out since the launch of the Texas Enterprise Fund a decade ago — $172 million — went to companies that never submitted applications.

There was also lax oversight in how taxpayer money was being used to fund the program, according to the audit.

State records show Abbott has received at least $1.4

million in contributions from beneficiaries of the fund since 2003, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Three investors in the biotech company Lexicon, which received $35 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund, are Abbott campaign contributors: businessman Robert McNair and chemical executives William McMinn and Gordon Cain.

McNair has given $463,000 to Abbott, McMinn $110,000 and Cain $60,000.

State law says that “at least monthly the attorney general shall inspect” state accounts,

but a spokesman for Abbott’s office said the state auditor has primary responsibility to check on how state money is used.

Jerry Strickland said Abbott has recovered millions in misused state money.

“Attorney General Abbott has successfully collected more than $740 million in funds owed to the state of Texas since 2003,” he said.

None of that money involved the Enterprise Fund, which has distributed a combined $700 million since its creation. The fund is a pet program of Gov. Rick Perry.

Celebrities partially to blame for private photo leaks Celebrity photo scandal is crime, not celebrities’ fault

“

vacy or not doesn’t really matter at this point — the fact of the matter is they just don’t.

All anyone has to do to realize that is take a trip to the supermarket and stand in the checkout line. Nearly every magazine (sometimes even the ones about home and garden) have at least one celebrity’s picture taking up the majority of the cover.

Many of these are nothing more than trashy gossip magazines “reporting” on who’s cheating on whom, who’s getting married, who’s getting divorced, who’s having a baby, w h o ’s d y i n g from some horrible disease or who’s depressed or abusing drugs or alcohol.

We b s i t e s like TMZ report only on celebrities and simply savor juicy gossip. They fill us in on where celebrities are vacationing (and with whom) and where they’re having lunch. Paparazzi follow celebrities everywhere.

Television shows such as “The Insider” and “Inside Edition” give daily recaps of what clothes celebrities wore to Starbucks or the gym and other inane drivel. Prior to any awards show, cameras roll while celebrities walk the red carpet and marvel at the dresses they’re wearing, which probably cost more than the average person’s car. It’s sickening how pervasive our society’s obsession with celebrities has become.

This isn’t the first time nude photos of celebrities have been leaked either. Actresses such as Scarlett Johansson and Vanessa Hudgens have been victims of similar leaks in years past.

Yet with the knowledge of all this — and of the fact that there are millions of people who have nothing better to do than devour this useless information — these celebrities still chose to take nude photos of themselves.

Society has an unhealthy obsession with celebrities, and it’s not a secret.

It’s not right that society gets so much information about the private lives of celebrities, but unfortunately, that’s just the way it is and celebrities are given fair warning about it. Yes, being hounded like they are is an invasion of privacy, but it comes with the territory. They get to be rich and famous while people with too much time on their hands watch their every move. Anyone going into show business who thinks otherwise is a fool.

By no means am I condoning the illegal hacking or release of these photos — I’m just saying it’s not very smart to take such photos of oneself with the knowledge that millions of people will want to get their dirty hands on them.

Society has an unhealthy obsession with celebrities, and it’s not a secret. If celebrities simply acted with this knowledge, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

My advice to celebrities is if they want to take nude photos of themselves, use a Polaroid camera.

The Oracle (U. SOUTh FlOrida)

The cloth-diaper clad designer babies of Hollywood whose glutenfree, non-GMO lifestyles might help them become future global ambassadors of peace could now come with an additional feature: measles and whooping cough.

According to an investigative report published by the Hollywood Reporter earlier this month, some schools in Los Angeles’ wealthiest neighborhoods have vaccination rates as low as na-

takes inappropriate pictures of themselves deserves exactly what they get.”

This statement is ridiculous.

I agree taking nude photos to begin with — celebrity or otherwise — is foolish, especially if the person decides to send them to someone with the blind faith the recipient won’t share them.

However, this does not diminish anyone’s right to do so or their right to expect the images they did not willingly share to remain safe and secure on their cell phones, and it certainly doesn’t make them deserving of having their private photos stolen from their personal property and posted for the world to see.

These celebrities had no way of anticipating they would be hacked and exploited to further a stranger’s personal agenda.

Furthermore, the hackers have committed a crime by leaking these images.

The line between private and public often becomes blurred when celebrities are added to the equation. In addition, we tend to have higher — sometimes impossible — expectations of them simply because of their spot in the limelight. A prime example is expecting the targeted celebrities to somehow be able to foresee this breach of privacy.

Incidents like this have occurred in the past. According to Yahoo Tech, similar incidents have been occurring sporadically since the 1980s, though it seems as if none of these incidents were on as large of a scale as the recent leaks.

While the possibility is obviously present, it is akin to saying a local neighborhood should have expected to be robbed because robberies have

“

occurred in Lubbock before.

You can prepare for it, but you can’t predict it. And it definitely isn’t your fault.

If anything, the blame and ill will should be directed toward the hackers. They are the ones illegally releasing these images. In fact, the FBI has taken a shine to the issue and gave a statement regarding the leaks. According to a statement, “[The FBI is] aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”

Even more alarming than its unlawful nature is the malice with which some of the leaks have been done.

Prior to the recent leak, 4chan users spoke out against Emma Watson’s stance as a feminist, saying she is a “feminist bitch” and that it will be proven she is “as much of a whore as any woman” when nude photos of her are released, according to a Slate.com article. The threat turned out to be a hoax.

So Emma Watson is to blame because a sexist hacker wants to “shame” her for her beliefs?

With the NSA situation being such a heated issue these days, it amazes me how much nonchalance and negative criticism this colossal invasion of privacy is receiving publicly.

Even if it’s for a seemingly good reason, we don’t want our personal accounts sifted through by strangers. Therefore, we shouldn’t condone hackers condemning celebrities to a similar fate.

Every American has a right to a certain degree of privacy, no matter how “high-profile” they may be.

These celebrities had no way of anticipating they would be hacked and exploited to further a stranger’s personal agenda.

T

he Internet has been in an uproar after unauthorized releases of nude celebrity photos began to surface nearly a month ago.

According to CBS News, more than 100 celebrities have been targeted so far, and the list includes actress Jennifer Lawrence, actress/singer Victoria Justice and actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Due to an alleged vulnerability in Apple’s iCloud program, hackers were able to access photos from certain celebrities’ personal cell phones and spread them on 4chan, an image-board website.

A few celebrities have fired back, pursuing legal action against the hackers for the leaks and rumored sale of the photos.

The public has also responded strongly to the controversy. Many seem to believe the targeted celebrities are to blame, stating they are “public figures” so they “should have known better.”

Fellow celebrity Clay Aiken chimed in with his own disapproval, saying, “Anybody who

“

N

o r m a l l y, t h e f a c t that nude photos are floating around the Internet garners very little media attention. Over the past few weeks, however, many such photos of high-profile celebrities such as actress Jennifer Lawrence, soccer star Hope Solo and “celebrity” Kim Kardashian have been making the rounds.

The photos were allegedly released as a result of a hacker gaining unauthorized access to the celebrities’ iCloud accounts, which has put Apple’s security protocols in the spotlight.

Some celebrities have initiated legal action in hopes of capturing and prosecuting the alleged hacker(s).

Many have come out in support of the celebrities, saying they’re simply the victims of a crime. While this may be true, it’s not the whole picture.

Yes, the hacking of the accounts and the release of the photos is a crime, and whoever is responsible should be prosecuted without question.

Apple also needs to improve its security protocols to prevent such leaks, especially if it wants to avoid customers losing their faith in the company’s products.

But the celebrities themselves have to share some of the blame as well. After all, they’re the ones who took the photos.

Now I’m not going to make a moral judgment about people taking nude photos of themselves. What people do in their private lives is none of my — or anyone else’s — business.

However, celebrities should know better than to take nude photos of themselves. It’s not a question of right or wrong — it’s a question of common sense.

The law grants certain privacy rights to celebrities, but as a practical matter, celebrities really don’t have any privacy.

Whether they should have pri-

Raising a child as a free-range chicken is certainly on the list of parenting styles available to those looking to bring life into this world, but depriving little Billy of his vaccines has far more dire consequences for the rest of the world than refusing him a doughnut.

A key component to ensuring a vaccine’s effectiveness for many diseases is creating “herd immunity.”

Though vaccines are not 100 percent effective, the more people who are vaccinated, the less likely the disease is to spread. The more unvaccinated people that are introduced into the population, the greater the risk of introducing the disease.

According to the National Network for Immunization Information, about 95 percent of a community

must be immunized for it to be considered effective. This is not the case when in some schools as few as 7 percent of students receive the Mumps, Measles and Rubella (MMR) vaccine and when whooping cough is “spreading like wildfire,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

While many U.S.-based non-governmental organizations have made immeasurable progress in ensuring that many of the 30 million non-immunized children in the developing world have better access to health resources and vaccinations for various diseases, perhaps it’s time for them to turn their eyes inward and work on public health initiatives to educate those whose “affluenza” might be posing a threat to the common good.

Tech cannot win in Stillwater

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY

Garman was intercepted by junior safety J.J. Gaines, Tech’s first interception of the season.

To end the first half, Garman was intercepted again, this time in the back of the zone, and the Cowboys led the Red Raiders 21-14.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said he thought Garman got off to a nice start in his second career start and continued that into the second half.

“Daxx (Garman) played good except for the one ball he threw across the goal line where he tried to throw it across his body. Other than that, for the most part, I thought he played well,” Gundy said. “I thought we ran the ball better in this game, but we still have a ways to go.”

In the second half, Garman took advantage of Tech trying to stop the run and threw the ball deep as much as possible.

With quick drives throughout the second half, Garman ended the game with 370 passing yards and four touchdowns while running for another touchdown.

Kingsbury said he thought the defense had chances to make plays, but could not limit the

Staff Writer

The Texas Tech football team lost its Big 12 Conference season opener 45-35 to Oklahoma State on Thursday night, continuing their losing streak in Stillwater since 2001.

While the game was tight for most of it entirety, the Red Raiders racked up 16 penalties for 158 yards.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the team had far too many penalties and it ultimately cost them the game.

“I’ve never seen a team shoot itself in the foot as many times as we did tonight,” Kingsbury said.

“It was embarrassing football, honestly. That’s the only way to put it. It’s just bad football, and it’s on me. I have to get it fixed.”

The first half was a back and forth game as both offenses were finding ways to score.

Tech’s offense opened the game with an 83-yard touchdown drive, the first time the Red Raiders have not started the game with a three-and-out this season.

On Oklahoma State’s first drive, junior quarterback Daxx

long passes.

“I thought that in the first half they made plenty of plays and got us the ball sometimes where we could’ve gone out and gotten some separation,” he said. “In the second half, we just gave up too many big plays. The guys were in position, just not making the plays. And you have to give their kids a bunch of credit, they made a bunch of plays and went up and got the ball.”

With Tech down by 10 points early in fourth quarter, sophomore quarterback Davis Webb scrambled for a first down to keep a drive alive, but was hit hard on his way down and injured his shoulder.

Webb was helped to the locker room but quickly returned to the field ready to play, however he was not cleared by the training staff.

After the game, Kingsbury said he was not sure how badly Webb was injured or if he would be able to play next week.

With freshman quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the game, the Red Raiders did not get within 10 points of the Cowboys.

Kingsbury said Mahomes competed well but was put in a tough

situation after Webb’s injury.

“He’s right on par to where (the freshman quarterbacks) were last year so we put him in,” Kingsbury said. “This offense wasn’t really tailored to his strengths so we’d have to do a better job of coming up with stuff he likes and executing.”

Before leaving the game, Webb threw for 374 yards and four touchdowns.

Junior wide receiver Jakeem Grant was named Tech’s player of the game as he caught 12 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Grant said he made some plays, but he is not concerned with individual achievements.

“I feel like I played OK. I feel like I dropped some major balls there that I could have caught.

I hate dropping balls, but it’s not about me or how many yards I have,” Grant said. “I just want to perform at my highest peak for my team and get us the win.”

The Red Raiders record has now dropped to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in the Big 12 Conference.

Their next matchup is at 6 p.m.

Saturday in Manhattan against Kansas State. ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com

A&M Aggies undefeated Minnesotans surveyed say Peterson was ‘abusive’ but far from perfect home game against Louisiana-Monroe.

“We prep the same for Alabama as we do for Lamar University. That may be hard for some people to understand, but we prep the same,” defensive end Julien Obioha said. “So when the bullets started flying, we were resilient and held in there.”

Obioha had the initial hit on the game-ending play, when Arkansas running back Alex Collins — who finished with 131 yards rushing — was stuffed at the line for no gain on fourth-and-1 in overtime.

The Aggies, after winning their first four games by an average of 43 1/2 points, are 5-0 for the first time since 2001. They have outscored their opponents 62-3 in the fourth quarter, but this was the first time the game was even close by then.

“That we can compete with people in the SEC,” Hill responded when asked what the Aggies proved with the comeback against Arkansas. “I mean, we didn’t play our best. But we still competed and came out with a win. ... I think that shows us, more than anything, we can come back from a deficit like that and we can still come out with a win.”

ARLINGTON (AP) — Far from perfect, Kenny Hill and sixth-ranked Texas A&M are still undefeated.

The Aggies faced adversity and remained unscathed with an impressive fourth-quarter comeback and a defensive uprising against Arkansas.

“This game is good for us as a team,” coach Kevin Sumlin said. “It’s the first time this year we’ve really been in that situation. We were off a little bit.

Things here, there; we turned it over.

But to come through and play the way he did at the end of the game is a big confidence boost for (Hill). Not that he needs it. He is a pretty confident guy.

But for our team, too.”

Especially facing the gauntlet of games upcoming for the Aggies (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference).

After coming from two touchdowns down Saturday to win 35-28 in overtime against Arkansas (3-2, 0-2), the only of the seven SEC West teams unranked, the Aggies play at No. 12 Mississippi State next weekend, then take on No. 11 Ole Miss and go to No. 3 Alabama. There is still No. 5 Auburn, No. 24 Missouri and No. 15 LSU left after an off week and a

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A majority of Minnesotans surveyed about child abuse allegations against Adrian Peterson show they disapprove of the way he disciplined his son.

A new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll released Sunday (http://strib. mn/Zj3CS5 ) shows that 57 percent of Minnesota adults surveyed described Peterson’s actions as “abusive.” Nearly two-thirds said Peterson should be released from the Vikings or remain benched until his legal issues are resolved in a Texas court.

Peterson has been charged with reckless or negligent injury to his child after he used a wooden switch to spank the boy in May. He has said he meant only to discipline the boy and not hurt him, but the boy had visible injuries. According to court documents, Peterson also told investigators in Texas that he used a belt to spank his son.

He will not play for the Vikings until the case is resolved.

The indictment against Peterson has stirred debate on corporal punishment and about what constitutes child abuse. Many Minnesotans surveyed said parents have the right to use physical force with their own children, but they criticized Peterson’s actions as excessive.

One third of adult Minnesotans surveyed say parents have a right to use physical punishment to discipline their children. More than 40 percent of men polled said they support the practice, while fewer than one in four women do.

Mountaineers end Tech’s undefeated streak

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Red Raider volleyball team entered Saturday’s match against West Virginia with a 13-0 record and one conference win against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.

West Virginia came into the match with a 10-4 record and a close loss versus the No. 2 Texas Longhorns in conference play.

The Mountaineers began the match by taking the first set versus the Red Raiders, 25-22.

The Red Raiders kept up with the Mountaineers for the majority of the first set, but Tech was unable to take back the lead once the Mountaineers went up 15-14.

Tech coach Don Flora said West Virginia’s outside hitting was the deciding factor in the first.

“They won set one because of their outside hitters,” he said. “It was really just a little bit of execution in set one.”

West Virginia outmatched Tech in the second set by holding to just 13 points.

Two 7-0 runs by West Virginia

put the set out of reach for Tech.

The first run occurred at the beginning of the set to put West Virginia up 7-0.

West Virginia’s second 7-0 run put them ahead 18-8.

Flora said the momentum of the match shifted after the first set.

“I thought we were fairly prepared, then we just didn’t quite execute late in set one,” he said. “That changes the mojo of the match.”

Tech avoided the sweep by climbing back from an early fourpoint deficit and tied the third set late in the game 19-19. A pair of attack errors by West Virginia allowed Tech to take a 22-20 lead.

In the fourth set of the match, Tech came up short from taking the match to a fifth set by losing the set to West Virginia 25-22.

Senior libero Rachel Brummit said Tech’s hitting errors were the difference in the close match.

“I think we did a great job coming back and having a fight,” she said. “We had a few errors that we could have controlled.”

The Red Raiders gained a sixpoint lead over the Mountaineers with the score at 14-8, but lost

the lead once West Virginia went on 6-0 run to close Tech’s lead to 15-14.

West Virginia scored three consecutive points to break a 20-20 tie and take the lead.

Flora said Tech was ready to battle back, but they were cut short in the fourth set.

“We kind of took control in set three,” he said. “We were up pretty decisively in set four, and that’s the bummer.”

Tech’s offense was led by senior middle blocker Mikia Mills with 10 kills, and junior setter Emily Reutter with 28 assists.

Brummit said the Tech squad will put the loss behind them as they continue conference play.

“I think it’s something easy,” she said. “We haven’t always had a 13 and 0 run, and we just know that just because we lost one game doesn’t mean we can’t have another successful game or more wins under our belt.”

Tech will face the Baylor Bears at 7 p.m. Wednesday in its first conference away game of the season. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

TEXAS TECH LIBERO Rachel Brummitt hits for the ball in Tech’s 3 sets to 1 loss on Saturday in the United Supermarkets Arena.

No. 6 Texas Tech soccer takes first loss in 2014 against Texas No. 6 Texas Tech (9-1-0; 0-1) received its first loss of the season Friday against Texas (6-3-2; 1-0) in a 1-0 overtime loss at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Freshman forward Olivia Brook scored the golden goal to win the game for Texas on a pass from sophomore forward Jasmine Hart just inside the right corner of the goal box.

Brook recorded her sixth goal of the season with about three minutes left in the first overtime period, according to the release.

Before the loss, Tech had won its last three overtime games this season against Eastern Michigan, Portland State and No. 11 California.

The loss also ended the longest

unbeaten streak in school history for Tech at 23 regular-season games.

Long Beach State was the last team to defeat Tech, with a score of 3-2 on Sept. 1, 2013, according to the release. It was the first loss to a Big 12 Conference opponent since Tech lost to Baylor 3-2 on Oct. 5, 2012.

In regulation, Tech delivered 18 shots at Texas junior goalkeeper Abby Smith.

Junior forward Janine Beckie attempted a season-high 10 shots with six of them on goal, and freshman forward Maddy Crabtree contributed a season-high of her own with five shot attempts.

Smith finished the game with seven saves to earn the shutout victory, according to the release.

The game turned out to be quite

the goalkeeper duel. While Smith made multiple saves on the way to a shutout, Watson recorded a careerhigh eight saves, according to the release. The goal is only the fifth allowed by Watson and the Tech defense through the first 10 games of the season.

Before the contest with Texas, Tech was one of only three teams in the country with a perfect record.

The 9-0 start to the season goes into the record books as the best start in school history for Tech, according to the release.

Tech will attempt to end the losing streak at one game as it plays its final nonconference game at 7 p.m. Sunday against UC Riverside back home at John Walker Soccer Complex. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

Jordan Zimmermann throws no-hitter WASHINGTON (AP) — Jordan Zimmermann pitched the first no-hitter for the Washington Nationals, the gem preserved when defensive replacement Steven Souza Jr. made a diving catch in left field for the final out in a 1-0 victory over the Miami Marlins in a regular-season finale Sunday.

Zimmermann (14-5) allowed only two baserunners, finishing with 10 strikeouts and one walk in the fifth no-hitter in the majors this year.

Christian Yelich almost wrecked Zimmermann’s bid with two outs

in the ninth inning. He sent a long drive to left-center, and Zimmermann leaned his head back and winced, thinking his no-hitter was lost.

But Souza, who made his big league debut this year and took over for Ryan Zimmerman to begin the ninth, ran hard into the gap, extended his glove for the sensational catch. Souza used his bare hand to squeeze the ball in his mitt as he fell.

Souza hopped up and punched the air. Zimmermann, watching from the mound, raised both arms

overhead and pumped his right fist.

“I thought that was a double for sure, and here he comes out of nowhere and makes the play,” Zimmermann said.

It was the fifth time there has been a no-hitter on the final day of the season. Last year, Henderson Alvarez of the Marlins threw one against Detroit to close the season — on Sunday, he was Miami’s starting pitcher against Zimmermann.

The Nationals put a stirring finish to a regular season in which they finished with the best record in the National League.

NFL commissioner Goodell meets with Texas coach Strong NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met with Texas coach Charlie Strong on Sunday to talk about the core values Strong uses to run his program.

“This morning, @nflcommish & I met w @Strong_TexasFB to discuss core values, game integrity, & college relations,” NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent posted

on his Twitter account. “Great meeting, great input.”

Strong has dismissed nine players during his first year as Texas coach.

Vincent tweeted: “Admire (Strong’s) 5 core values: Honesty, treat women with respect, and no drugs, stealing, or guns.” “@Strong_TexasFB’s emphasis

on character & respect over talent is molding the next generation of football talent. Standards are key.”

The NFL is re-evaluating its personnel conduct policy after Goodell admitted mishandling the disciplinary process for former Ravens running back Ray Rice, who struck his then-fiancee in a casino elevator.
