Meat judging team wins third straight championship The Texas Tech Meat Judging team earned a third consecutive national championship title at the American Meat Association’s International Meat Judging Contest in Dakota City, Neb. Nov. 15, according to a news release.

This is Tech’s 11th national championship in meat judging, according to the release.

The team placed first in lamb judging, pork judging, specifications and reasons divisions, according to the release. The judging team took second in placings and beef grading.

Tech won the contest by 51 points. Other top five teams included Angelo State University, Kansas State University, Texas A&M University and Oklahoma State University, according to the release.

“We are very proud of the efforts of these young men and women and their representation of our university on a national stage,” Tech President M. Duane Nellis said.

“The meat judging program has a successful and storied history and continues to be the benchmark nationally for other programs.” ➤➤cwilson@dailytoreador.com

UT students to stage ‘immigrant game’ AUSTIN (AP) — A conservative student group announced Monday they will play a “Catch an Illegal Immigrant Game” this week on the University of Texas at Austin, drawing condemnation from Democrats and a threat of expulsion from campus officials.

The Young Conservatives of Texas have planned the game for Wednesday.

Club members will wander the campus wearing signs that say “illegal immigrant,” and students who capture them and take them to the Young Conservatives’ recruiting table will get $25 gift certificates.

“The purpose of this event is to spark a campus-wide discussion about the issue of illegal immigration, and how it affects our everyday lives,” a statement posted by the group’s spokesman, Lorenzo Garcia. The group did not immediately reply to several emails sent by The Associated Press.

Crockett scores 22, Hannahs adds 19 off bench in Tech victory

By REX ROSE Staff Writer

The Texas Tech basketball team improved to 3-1 after defeating the Texas Southern Tigers 80-71 in the first round of the Progressive Legends Classic on Monday night in the United Spirit Arena.

The Tigers are the defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champion and went 16-2 in conference play last year.

The first two points of the game were a twohanded jam by junior forward Jordan Tolbert and the game ended the same way with a dunk by senior forward Jaye Crockett.

Crockett, who led the team offensively with a season-high 21 points, said the team was well prepared.

“We know we’re coming into a big tournament,” he said. “This was the first game, so we just have to have that energy every night. It really doesn’t matter who you’re playing, you have to just be ready for the big games.”

This is the Red Raiders’ second appearance in the event as Tech played in the 2008 edition of the tournament, finishing third with a 3-1 record, according to the release.

Tech coach Tubby Smith said he likes how Crockett’s actions wear off on him.

“He’s a clutch player,” he said. “What I like is his demeanor. He’s a veteran senior player and that’s what we expect of him. He’s a very calming influence on me. I know I can count on Jaye doing the right things and that’s what I appreciate about him.”

The Red Raiders planned to stop the Tigers center, Aaric Murray, who averaged 24.3 points per game prior to Monday, but Murray was a non-factor in the game, playing just seven minutes and scoring eight points.

Murray was in foul trouble early in the first half

and fouled out of the game with 2:02 left to play.

Texas Southern coach Mike Davis said not being able to play Murray throughout the game hurt his team’s chances of winning.

“He’s our best player,” he said. “We go inside, we play inside with him, so he creates opportunities for other guys. When he gets the basketball, they double. Every team we’ve played this year has doubled him. He only played twenty minutes, so that’s a big blow to us.”

Monday’s matchup was the first ever for the two schools, although the two head coaches squared off for the seventh time in their careers.

Smith is 6-1 overall against Texas Southern coach Mike Davis, five of the wins coming when Smith was in charge at Kentucky and Davis at Indiana.

Davis said he has the utmost respect for his opponent.

“Coach Smith is great,” he said. “His team, they play really hard. We knew it was going to be a physical game. They’re getting better, tonight was probably their best game. He’s a great coach, one of the best coaches in the business.”

During his early years at Indiana, Davis was an assistant under former Tech coach Bob Knight before he took the reins in 2000, according to the Texas Southern athletics website.

He had his best season at Indiana in 2002, taking the Hoosiers to the National Championship game before losing to Maryland.

Smith returns the accolades and said Davis has had great longevity as a coach.

“He’s been around and he’s an outstanding coach,” he said. “He was a pretty young guy when he took over at Indiana. Jobs of that caliber, the microscope is on you all the time and he handled it well.

TEXAS TECH GUARD Dusty Hannahs shoots a 3-pointer against Texas Southern on Monday in the United Spirit Arena. The Red Raiders defeated the Tigers 80-71.

Amaro named semifinalist for Time, place set for matchup Biletnikoff, Mackey awards between A&M, Texas Tech After not appearing on watch lists before or during most of the season, Texas Tech junior tight end Jace Amaro was named a semifinalist for the John Mackey AMARO award, which is given to the top tight end in college football each year.

Amaro also was named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff award, which is given to the nation’s top college wide receiver every year, according to a news release.

Amaro is the first player to be named a semifinalist for both awards since Missouri’s Chase Coffman in 2008, according to the release.

The last year a Red Raider was named to the Biletnikoff list also was 2008, when wide receiver Michael Crabtree won the award.

Amaro is the first Tech student-athlete in its

history to be named a Mackey semifinalist, according to the release.

In Saturday’s 63-34 loss against Baylor, Amaro had four receptions for 55 yards, including two touchdowns during the first quarter.

Through the Red Raiders’ 11 games this season, Amaro has 92 receptions, ranking No. 2 in the nation, for 1,157 yards, which ranks No. 12.

Amaro’s 92 catches rank him No. 6 all-time at Tech. He is tied with Darrin Moore and Ricky Williams. His 1,157 receiving yards are the most single-season yards by a Red Raider receiver since Crabtree’s 1,165 yards in 2008, according to the release.

The finalists for each award will be announced Nov. 25, and the winners will be announced Dec. 12 during the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show. ➤➤ecorder@dailytoreador.com

The when and where were finalized for Texas Tech’s NCAA Tournament second-round matchup with former Big 12 Conference rival Texas A&M. Tech and Texas A&M are set for first kick at 2:30 p.m. Friday at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C., according to a news release.

Tech advanced to the second round with a 3-0 rout of Minnesota at the John Walker Soccer Complex.

In College Station, Texas A&M did the same by defeating Utah 1-0 in overtime.

The winner of the second-round matchup plays in the Sweet 16 and will face Indiana or North Carolina, the 2012 NCAA Division I women’s soccer tournament champion.

The game between Tech and Texas A&M is the first meeting between the two teams since 2011, according to the release.

The John Walker Soccer Complex was the location of the last meeting, however the home-field advantage did not help much for the Red Raiders. They lost 2-0 with both goals occurring during the second half.

The Red Raiders were 8-4-2, and the Aggies were 10-5 after their last contest.

Two years later, those records have changed. Both teams are in the second round. The Red Raiders reached the second round with a record of 182-2, while the Aggies boast a record of 18-4-1. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scholar Service organization hosted a research carnival from 2-5 p.m.

Monday in the Student Union Building Ballroom.

The event was the first of its kind, was put together by members of Tech HHMI SSO, and had many researchers from different colleges on campus participate.

Josh Willms, a senior biology and classics major from Los Alamos, N.M., is co-president of Tech HHMI SSO. The carnival is a research conference directed toward the public body, he said.

Researchers of various fields of study had different tables set up around the ballroom to showcase tangible examples of research.

ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

Willms said it was important to have concrete examples to present and not to only present data in an overly technical or hard-to-understand way. The tangible examples set around tables included robots, live snakes and a giant turtle shell.

“As researchers it’s really important for us to translate research into something the public understands,” Willms said. “If research stays only in academia, we aren’t nearly as powerful as if society as a whole understands it.”

The carnival encouraged students at Tech, as well as students from high schools and middle schools throughout Lubbock, to understand the power of science, Willms said.

He said he wanted students to know science is awesome and research is something exciting to participate in.

BUSINESS: 806-742-3388

“Research is more about creativity and problem solving,” Willms said, than it is about having a huge amount of raw information.”

Philip Jarrett, a junior cell and molecular biology major from Jacksonville, Fla., is co-vice president of Tech HHMI SSO. He said the presentation of research in a carnival gave students an easier way to see the information.

Jarrett said in many cases the conference format for presenting information could be intimidating to undergraduates because it can suggest a student must have an extensive background in a given field.

Jarrett’s favorite part of the carnival was challenging researchers to come up with a tangible example of their research, he said.

Recent recession takes toll on young adults

By JULIA PEÑA Staff Writer

Young adults are not building careers, buying homes or starting families because of the current unsecure job market, according to the new 2013 statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Since the 2007-2009 recession, the economy has slowly began to grow, but it has been a slow trudge for recent graduates entering a recovering job market.

Taylor Lynn, a sports management major from Fort Worth who is married to his high school sweetheart, said when he graduates this year, he plans to look for a bigger apartment or house

In many cases, it is easy to become tangled up in the technical jargon of research, Jarrett said, so it can be fun to show someone a real example of their work and what it means.

“We’re hoping that students can realize and accept that research isn’t necessarily a complicated process,” he said. “Anybody can do research as long as they’re willing to get a little dirty, get their hands dirty and put a little work into it.”

The carnival also featured a booth where students could dunk their professors. Although the dunking booth originally was meant to submerge professors into water, plans changed so professors

“I think the first couple of years, it’s OK to live with your parents because you’re, like, 19 to 20 years old,” he said, “but as you become an upperclassman, I think you should branch out, do internships and live on your own.”

Many young adults are not moving out of the county they live in, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With fewer people moving out of the county, even fewer are moving out of the state.

Migration of adults older than the age of 55 was stable from 2012 to 2013, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

According to the Pew Research Center’s Social and Demographic

Trends project, 21.6 million of the nation’s young adults aged 18-31 lived with their parents in 2012.

These numbers increased from 18.5 million in 2007, during the beginning of the recession.

Taylor Mitchell, a university studies major from Coppell, said he will move to Illinois to live with roommates when he graduates in December.

“It’s a trend I’m very aware of, and I don’t want to follow it,” he said. “I want to be out on my and own, and I figured the best way to do that, the best way to become self-reliant is through trial by fire.”

Males are more likely to live with their parents than females,

according to the Pew Research Center.

“I’ve heard many times, females mature quicker than males do,” Mitchell said. “There seems to be a huge women-empowerment movement going on where people are pushing women to get jobs, be independent — ‘You’re powerful, you can do this, you can hang with the guys.’”

Young adults being lazy also could be a factor, Mitchell said.

Young adults find it easier to live with their parents or have roommates instead of a place on their own, where young adults have to pay bills, a mortgage and support a family.

fell into the empty tank when a target was hit. Students took advantage of the competition and paid $1 for three tries to hit the target.

Some of the professors who volunteered to take the plunge were Dylan Schwilk, Lou Densmore and Michael Dini.

The carnival not only hosted research in science fields, however. Clara Bush, a senior environmental humanities major from Celina, had a table at the event to present her poetry research.

Bush used a poetry collection at Tech to help her complete research last year, she said.

From the research she collected, she wrote her own poetry and added a creative element, rather than just a research paper, she said.

Some of Bush’s original poems

have since published in various journals.

Bush said she was not interested in researching science, so she found something else she was interested in. After being inspired by a poetry class her freshman year, she found a way to make research in the field she liked happen.

“I think it is important (to show off research) because I am doing humanities research, which I don’t think gets promoted as much as sciences,” she said. “I think it’s definitely important for people to know that you don’t have to be a scientist to do research, and you don’t have to be an English major to do humanities research. I think it’s important to choose something you’re interested in and go with it.”

The carnival was a success

and met every hope and expectation the organization had for it, Willms said.

“People are here and they’re having a good time,” Willms said. “All the presentations are fantastic. Every single one is really interesting, and I am wanting to go around to all the tables. I think it’s more of a success than we even hoped that it would be.”

Tech HHMI SSO hopes to make the carnival an annual event and host something of its kind every November, Willms said. He hopes to feature a broader representation of Tech’s research next year.

The organization not only hopes to continue the tradition at Tech, but also hopes it catches on at other universities throughout the country, Willms said.

Judge agrees to free remaining 3 of ‘San Antonio 4’ women SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The remaining three of four San Antonio women imprisoned for sexually assaulting two girls in 1994 have been freed after a judge agreed that their convictions were tainted by faulty witness testimony.

Elizabeth Ramirez, Kristie Mayhugh and Cassandra Rivera were released on bond Monday after a judge decided to recommend that an appeals court vacate their 1998 convictions.

The three released Monday were convicted with Anna Vasquez of assaulting two of Ramirez’s nieces, ages 7 and 9, in successive attacks during a week in 1994.

Vasquez was previously paroled under strict conditions.

The women were convicted based on an expert’s testimony that the 9-year-old girl’s genital injury could have been caused by an assault. Their attorney asserted that subsequent

scientific findings discredited the expert’s conclusions.

AP’s earlier story is below.

Three of four San Antonio women imprisoned for sexually assaulting two girls in 1994 were expected to walk free Monday after a judge agreed that their convictions were tainted by faulty witness testimony, their defense attorney said.

Attorney Mike Ware said in a San Antonio courtroom Monday that the three women still behind bars would be released under bond on their own recognizance later in the day. Prosecutor Rico Valdez confirmed that an agreement he and Ware previously reached had been approved by a judge.

However, Ware and other attorneys later told reporters that paperwork issues on one of the three would delay the process into the night. They had no estimate of a release time.

Elizabeth Ramirez, Kristie Mayhugh and Cassandra Rivera were convicted in 1998 of assaulting two of Ramirez’s nieces, ages 7 and 9, of successive attacks during a week in 1994. The girls testified that the women held them by their wrists and ankles, attacked them and threatened to kill them.

A fourth woman, Anna Vasquez, has already been paroled, but under strict conditions.

“It’s a breath of fresh air,” Vasquez told reporters after Ware made the announcement. “It’s an awesome feeling. It’s like a dream come true.”

While the women were not formally declared innocent of the crimes, prosecutors in Bexar County have said they do not intend to retry them if the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals vacates the convictions.

Ramirez was given a 37-year prison sentence. Mayhugh, Vasquez and Rivera were given 15-year sentences.

More than a decade after the women were convicted, their case came to the attention of attorneys affiliated with the nonprofit Innocence Project of Texas, which investigates potential wrongful conviction cases.

Ware, who has worked on the case for two years, filed petitions on their behalf last month with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

They were convicted in 1998 based on an expert’s testimony that

a vaginal injury sustained by the 9-year-old girl could have been caused by an assault. According to a petition filed by Ware, Dr. Nancy Kellogg testified that the injury in question happened around the time of the alleged assaults. But her conclusions have since been discredited by current findings on science, attorneys have said. Kellogg declined an interview request last week.

“It would be identified as nonspecific if she were testifying today,” Valdez said last week.

Texas has passed several laws to add new safeguards for eyewitness identification, DNA testing and other issues in response to a rash of wrongful-conviction cases. Ware used one law passed this year to allow defendants to file appeals based on potential misuse of “junk science” — something criminal justice advocates have targeted as a frequent cause of wrongful convictions.

Prosecutors don’t agree with Ware that the women should be declared formally innocent — a distinction that would allow them to collect money Texas pays to the wrongfully imprisoned.

Ramirez, Mayhugh and Rivera were not in court Monday. Ramirez’s mother, Gloria Herrera, was and spoke about seeing her daughter last week as the agreement was being finalized.

“I went to visit her Wednesday and she was shaking like a leaf, and so was I,” Herrera said. “And she said, ‘Mom, I’m so nervous.’”

Herrera said she and her daughter hadn’t decided what they would do when Ramirez went free — other than she knew Ramirez wanted a pizza.

“In the beginning there was no hope but this day has finally arrived,” Herrera said. “I pray that this doesn’t happen to anybody else.”

Thanksgiving overtaken by Christmas cheer

By ALI WILLINGHAM Staff Writer

To see the aisles of Wal-Mart already filled with bells, sleighs, reindeer and the jolly grin of Santa Claus the day after Halloween is nothing new.

But some think Christmas is arriving earlier each year.

It never fails that with the spirit of Christmas arriving earlier every year, Thanksgiving seems to get overlooked.

Taylor Kalka, a freshman agriculture education major from San

Antonio, said she thinks Thanksgiving isn’t as played up as Christmas is.

She said she believes everyone looks forward to Christmas because they get presents and students get a month off.

“Thanksgiving just isn’t as fancy and as talked about,” Kalka said.

Thanksgiving being overlooked is annoying to her, she said.

Thanksgiving is about being thankful for what you have, Kalka said, and it’s an important holiday, too.

“It’s not given the credit that it deserves,” she said. “Our generation

is spoiled and greedy and you have to remember to turn around and be thankful for everything you have.”

Kerbey Jacobs, a freshman animal science major from Katy, said it feels like people are waiting for more stuff and are overlooking what they already have.

Thanksgiving being overlooked, she said, has something to do with how people were raised.

“It’s never been a big deal to go around and say what you’re thankful for, enjoy everything you have and the people you’re with,” Jacobs said.

MIKE HOOPS, A senior general studies major from Fort Worth, uses a ruler and acrylic paint to create a cubist style Batman painting for an intermediate painting class Monday in the Art building.

agriculture education major from San Antonio, said another reason people overlook Thanksgiving is because nothing big happens.

There’s football, she said, but that’s about it.

“I know my family,” Alexander said. “We’re happy to be together and say what we’re thankful for, but then after, we’re Black Friday shopping through the newspapers.”

People say what they’re thankful for, she said, and then the next day everybody wants everything they don’t have.

“Every year after Halloween is

going to be Christmas in stores and not Thanksgiving,” she said.

Despite Thanksgiving being overlooked by the stores, it hasn’t changed students looking forward to returning home for the holiday and remembering what they’re thankful for.

Kalka said she’s thankful for being able to attend Texas Tech — and without paying for it because of scholarships.

Jacobs said she’s thankful for being alive because she has known people from her high school who have died in the past four years.

“Finding my independence,” Alexander said, “and feeling like I don’t have to rely on being home to be successful is what I’m thankful for.”

She said she’s most looking forward to a home-cooked meal on Thanksgiving.

People have a full stomach and are smiling because they’re full from the food, Jacobs said.

“It’s like whenever you’re around a home-cooked meal with your family, everybody just seems happy,” Kalka said. “That’s my favorite part.” ➤➤awillingham@dailytoreador.com

Nobel author Doris Lessing dies at 94 LONDON (AP) — Doris Lessing emerged from a black cab outside her home in London one day in 2007 and was confronted by a horde of reporters. When told she had won the Nobel Prize, she blinked and retorted “Oh Christ! ... I couldn’t care less.”

That was typical of the independent — and often irascible — author who died Sunday after a long career that included “The Golden Notebook,” a 1962 novel that made her an icon of the women’s movement. Lessing’s books reflected her own improbable journey across the former British Empire, and later her vision of a future ravaged by atomic warfare.

The exact cause of Lessing’s death at her home in London was not immediately disclosed, and her family requested privacy. She was 94.

“Even in very old age she was always intellectually restless, reinventing herself, curious about the changing world around us, always completely inspirational,” her

editor at HarperCollins, Nicholas Pearson, said in one of the many tributes.

Lessing explored topics ranging from colonial Africa to dystopian Britain, from the mystery of being female to the unknown worlds of science fiction. In winning the Nobel literature prize, the Swedish Academy praised Lessing for her “skepticism, fire and visionary power.”

The often-polarizing Lessing never saved her fire for the page.

The targets of her vocal ire in recent years included former President George W. Bush — “a world calamity” — and modern women — “smug, self-righteous.” She also raised hackles by deeming the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States “not that terrible.”

She remains best known for “The Golden Notebook,” in which heroine Anna Wulf uses four notebooks to bring together the separate parts of her disintegrating life. The novel covers a range of previously unmentionable female

conditions — menstruation, orgasms and frigidity — and made Lessing an icon for women’s liberation. But it became so widely talked about and dissected that she later referred to it as a “failure” and “an albatross.”

Published in Britain in 1962, the book did not make it to France or Germany for 14 years because it was considered too inflammatory.

When it was republished in China in 1993, 80,000 copies sold out in two days.

“It took realism apart from the inside,” said Lorna Sage, an academic who knew Lessing since the 1970s. “Lessing threw over the conventions she grew up in to stage a kind of breakdown — to celebrate disintegration as the representative experience of a generation.”

Although she continued to publish at least one book every two years, she received little attention for her later works and was often criticized as didactic and impenetrable.

Opinions

Holiday food can be made healthier, less fattening Mollie Johnson 90 of the calories in it come from fat alone, not including what it may contain in carbohydrates and protein.

Fat is the macronutrient that contributes the most to caloric intake, with carbohydrates and protein each contributing four calories per gram. Therefore, fat is a good place to start when it comes to making recipes healthier.

There are a couple of options when it comes to altering fat in baked goods: Replace it with something better, or cut it down.

Good replacement options include unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana, prune puree or avocado. It might sound strange to put avocado in cookies, but I encourage you to try it. You most likely will be surprisingly pleased.

In most recipes, the fat recommendation given is the maximum amount needed, so it tastes as delightful as possible. However, many times the fat recommendation given is superfluous, and the fat component can be cut down from one-third to one-half the amount suggested and still tastes about the same.

Sugar is a carbohydrate, and therefore contributes four calories per gram to consumption.

This may not sound like a large amount, but it can add up rather quickly in holiday items.

Sugar, similar to fat, can be cut down from one-third to one-half of the recommended amount in most recipes. If further sweetening is required, spices and flavorings can

“

be added, such as cinnamon or vanilla extract, which provide a nice flavor without empty calories.

Pasta dishes can be the easiest fix of them all. Plain pasta is a simple starch. However, using whole wheat instead of enriched (normal) pasta can triple fiber intake and reduce calories. This may taste a little bit different than it would with plain enriched pasta. However, the health benefits are surprisingly substantial for such a simple switch.

For those who check NuVal scores on the shelves when you shop, white pasta can have a NuVal as low as 18, and whole wheat can be as high as 91, which is a huge difference. For more information regarding the NuVal

Many people seem to be under the impression that to eat healthy, the food must taste unpalatable.

“

T

o step forward on a lighter note, when it comes to things occurring in the world right now, the holidays are coming up. For many people, especially college students who may not always be eating the best away from home, food is looked forward to.

However, the weight gain following holiday gorging is not the ideal result for most. With some thought toward recipe modifications and exercise, you may have a fighting chance to beat the added holiday pounds.

Many people seem to be under the impression that to eat healthy, the food must taste unpalatable.

Minute adjustments provide ways to make holiday dishes taste about the same, while cutting some of the calories and fat associated with them.

As many people know — and if you don’t, this information can be found underneath the nutrient facts panel of any product — fat contributes nine calories per gram. This means if you have something with 10 grams of fat,

scoring system, you can visit nuval.com.

The science behind cutting back meat to make things healthier really is simple. Meat comes from animals, and animals (like people) store things, including fat and cholesterol, which are consumed when eaten. Vegetables don’t store fat. Therefore, a recommendation for meat in dishes, such as stews and casseroles, is to use up to half the meat recommended while substituting the difference with vegetables.

According to the Mayo Clinic, substituting skim milk for whole milk saves 66 calories and almost eight grams of fat per serving. The amount of servings increases in holiday dishes with homemade sauces, dips, cream soups, baked goods, etc. Therefore, those 66 calories easily reach the hundreds before it’s all over.

A further dairy idea involves using reduced fat cheese in recipes, but in my experience it doesn’t produce the same results.

Using a naturally lower fat cheese, such as mozzarella, can be a good

alternative.

Condiments, dips and dressings — what makes food good — are another thing to watch.

There are many hidden calories in these that come mostly from sugar and fat. If making dip, a healthy option involves using plain Greek yogurt as a base. Also try dipping your food instead of pouring it over the top, thereby using less.

In general, and observed by many, weight gain is simply a matter of calories in versus calories out. If you can find the hidden calories, know where they come from and change them, it actually is possible to cut down calories without horrid tasting food.

Add some exercise to the equation and maybe it will stay balanced. If you would like to research healthy recipes and consumption further, visit the Mayo Clinic website, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Factbook Chapter 2 or helpguide.org.

Four World Trade Center gives New York City hope Obamacare infringes on choice, should be fought

By JUANITA DEAVER

Daily CoUgar (U. hoUsTon)

It has been twelve years since tragedy befell that fateful day, Sept.

11, 2001, on what is now termed “Ground Zero.” Yet this tragedy has not deterred the idea of American strength.

On Wednesday, the newest version of the World Trade Center, officially known as Four World Trade Center, made its debut in lower Manhattan. Standing at 977 feet, the building is a much shorter version of One World Trade Center, which will not be ready for operation until the beginning of 2014.

Currently, this 72-story office building is mostly empty, rented by a few agencies, but none are large enough to fill the building. In an interview with Reuters, Janno Lieber, who oversees planning for Silverstein Properties, said, “The world is recognizing that we’ve moved from 12 years of controversy and construction to having a real place that is coming back to life as a part of New York City.”

It indeed has been a controversial issue fought over by the state of New York, the federal government, families of victims and insurers as well as developers involved with this project. Many do not wish to see another building replace one that befell such a disaster. Others believe that such a project would be a credo to American strength — to never back down, but instead thrive on, bigger and better.

Graphic communications junior Matthew Janik said, “One World Trade Center symbolizes the resilience and unity of the American people as well as the world. Everyone remembers where they were on 9/11, and seeing the tower completed provides hope for the future.”

It’s bigger and better indeed.

One World Trade Center, while not ready for occupation, was voted by a council of urban designers as the new tallest building in America.

Some may wonder why there would there need to be a committee.

Well, Chicago has a giant of its own, the Willis Tower, that stands at 1,451 feet tall. One World Trade Center’s body — actually capable of occupa-

tion by offices and workers — stands at 1,368 feet with a spire standing at 408 feet, making a total height of 1,776 feet, a number strategically chosen to represent the year the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed, according to Reuters. It is a standing symbol of American pride in the literal sense.

“Even though the cladding was taken off the spire, you can still see that it is an architectural element,” executive director of the Chicagobased Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat Antony Wood said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune. ”It is not just a plain steel mast from which to hang antenna or satellite dishes.”

For Janik, as far as the controversy behind the height goes, he said that, “For me, it really does not matter whether or not the One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the U.S.; it’s just an unnecessary title.

The OWTC holds a lot more meaning to the people of the U.S. and to the world than just ‘tallest building in U.S.’ The controversy over the OWTC’s spire is irrelevant when

considering what the building really stands for.”

However, One World Trade Center and Four World Trade Center are not the only buildings on the site. In 2006, a separate building called Seven World Trade Center was opened north of Ground Zero, and a 9/11 museum is anticipated to open at or near the site within the next year. Adding more, the site is expected to house two more office towers at about 550,000 square feet of retail space, and architect Frank Gehry — known for his design of the contemporary Guggenheim Museum in Spain — is planning to build a performing arts center for one of these buildings, according to Reuters.

New York is making its strong comeback with the erection of these anticipated buildings to accompany Four World Trade Center and Seven World Trade Center within the next year and a half, symbolizing how far not only New York has come since 2001, but also how far the nation as a whole has moved forward and will continue to do so in the coming years.

Intellectualism, elitism not necessary to be joined together iowa sTaTe Daily (iowa sTaTe U.)

If there has been any change to my character during my college life, it has been the gradual shift from arrogance to humility. Like many underclassmen, I went through a phase where I believed I was superior to everybody else in the realm of intellect. Part of this was spurred on by a particular disposition towards Ayn Rand’s objectivism and part was spurred on by a mission to prove to everyone the extent of my abilities.

As I’ve advanced in my college years, my friends and family have — to use a colloquial phrase — “put me in my place.” The one lingering taint that I might never

get rid of now, though, is the label of “arrogance.” My scarlet letter, formed from past grievances, casts a shadow over my attempts to be well meaning. But if there is one contention left to make here, it is that there truly is a difference between confidence in what you say and pure arrogance. Though they are so closely intertwined, they are quite different and affect a person’s actions in their own ways.

There are and always will be intellectual elitists out there who feel the perpetual need to correct others because they believe they, being infinitely smarter, have been granted the special privilege to do so. I know this because I was one of them. But the real challenge set before those who strive for intellec-

tualism is to unwind the principles of the learning from elitism.

In this sense, the sect of elitists, who take pride in the pursuit of knowledge, must do away with the superiority complex and the exclusivity of their cause. People are all smart in their own way, and they contribute in what ways they can to the great journey of humankind.

What has fortified my modesty and dissolved my arrogance are my peers. For instance, my two best friends are what I refer to as “farmer boys.” The name is deceiving — it seems to suggest they are “dumb” or out of touch with modern reality.

Not true. In fact, I’ve learned more from these two honorable men than I could ever learn in one of my books. They certainly aren’t up all night reading Kurt Vonnegut with me — unless I’m mistaken — but

they possess an ineffable knowledge entirely of their own. They serve as a constant reminder of the potency of simplicity.

This renders the very idea of “intellectualism” moot. What qualifies one to be an “intellect,” after all? What is “intellect?”

If the intellectual elitists can begin to realize that ambiguity, the walls of exclusivity will fall and arrogance will be exposed for what it is. It is the role of belittled and patronized individuals to fight back and highlight the condescension. One should also avoid befriending those who think they are superior to others. At first, these “superior” individuals will claim to be better off without you.

Don’t worry: They’ll learn soon enough when their pool of friends has evaporated.

The Daily Collegian (Kansas sTaTe U.)

Do you remember the tale of Goldilocks? The little blonde tyrant that broke into the bears’ home, ate their porridge and slept in their beds? When I was a nose picking, self-righteous 6-year-old, I was so infuriated that this girl thought it was okay to eat someone else’s porridge and sleep in someone else’s beds. She deserved at least seven minutes in the corner.

However, what I failed to realize is that not only did she eat someone else’s food, and sleep in someone else’s bed, her worst offense was breaking into their house. I mean, breaking and entering should have been the first thing to set me off.

Goldilocks is a lot like Obamacare: an immature, selfish, little girl without manners. Also, many conservatives have lost sight of its worst crime — it’s still socialized medicine, people. I don’t care what the Supreme Court says. We need to stop focusing solely on the flaws with the website, the premium increases and the loss of coverage — we knew all of this was going to happen. It’s like focusing on Goldilocks’ porridge smuggling and bed hopping, instead of the real crime.

We have an election coming up, and none of us conservatives want “Lady Clinton” for president. Therefore, it’s time we expose Obamacare for what it really is: an infringement on our rights.

Since constitutional rights and the like never really hit home with the left, we need to show them how Obamacare is an infringement of choice.

They say, “Don’t tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies. Don’t tell men and women that they can’t marry whomever they love, no matter their gender. Don’t shove your religion on me with your offensive nativity scenes. Legalize marijuana, fight the man!”

In regards to health care, however, leftist say, “Make it rain the Affordable Care Act. Smother me in Obamacare.

yours, and you are mine forever. I do.”

I’m just so confused. The left wants the ability to choose all these other things, but not the ability to choose their health care provider, or the ability to potentially say “no” to health coverage altogether without being fined by their government?

So you see, socialized medicine is a flat-out contradiction to every prochoice advocate out there. That is what conservatives should be pushing, not the crummy website flaws and other small parts. Yes, these are pieces of the pie, but we need to show people how moldy and the gross the entire cake is, not just its ingredients.

As much as we want to fight it and deny it, it’s the second half of a game where the left is home team, and we’re falling behind. So let’s play by their rules.

Let’s show them just how anti-choice the Obamacare legislation is, in a way that they would be willing to listen to.

We have the right to abort, marry the same sex, to be free from religion, correct?

Then a grandmother with breast cancer has the right to have her body be seen by a doctor of her choice, without being denied because of her “risk factor” of age and condition.

Then a healthy college student has the right to say “no” to health coverage in a time of financial struggle without being fined by his government.

Then the Roman Catholic Church has the right of refusal to financially support the distribution of birth control.

Then small businesses have the right to employ their staff for 30 hours a week without being forced to insure, pay a fine, or lay off their employees.

Maybe it will take protesting. Maybe it will require an annoying amount of activism. Or maybe we will have to camp along Wall Street, defecate in yards, walk around until we get holes in our best pair of Toms, and not shower until mold grows in our armpits. All I know is that it’s time to fight the other side with their own tactics. Give them a dose of their own medicine, because everyone’s got a right to it, don’t they?

Ellis leads way in 2nd half, Mavericks top 76ers 97-94 DALLAS (AP) — Monta Ellis dribbled near midcourt with the clock winding down in a sluggish first half for the Dallas Mavericks.

He made a pullup jumper off that isolation play, triggering a big finish for Dallas’ new playmaker.

Ellis scored 24 points, including 13 in the third quarter when Dallas took its first lead, and the Mavericks beat the Philadelphia 76ers 97-94 Monday night.

Ellis had 19 points in the second half and added a game-high 10 assists and two of Dallas’ 11 blocked shots.

“I don’t think I was being aggressive enough in the first half,” said Ellis, who has scored at least 18 points in all 11 games with the Mavericks, the longest streak to start a career in Dallas. “We weren’t clicking as a

team. They took us out of our game.”

Two nights after a 37-point loss in New Orleans and playing without budding star Michael CarterWilliams for the fourth straight game because of a foot injury, the Sixers held the Mavericks scoreless for the first 5 minutes and led by 10 in the first half.

Even after losing its lead for good late in the third quarter, Philadelphia stayed close behind Evan Turner, Tony Wroten and some late 3-pointers from James Anderson.

Turner had 26 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while Wroten had 19 points and five steals.

The Sixers were down six with just 30 seconds left, but one of 20 Dallas turnovers kept them alive.

The outcome wasn’t settled until

the Mavericks inbounded with 4.8 seconds left and Shawn Marion had a breakaway dunk that came just after the final buzzer, leaving the final margin at three.

“I thought we battled and showed a lot of heart to come back from arguably our worst performance in New Orleans, and we lost to a good team,” Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said.

Dirk Nowitzki and Marion had 20 points apiece for the Mavericks, who began a stretch of seven of nine games in Dallas. Nowitzki had 10 rebounds, and Marion chipped in seven.

The Mavericks pulled even twice in the third quarter before finally taking their first lead when Vince Carter knocked the ball loose as

Hollis Thompson was going up for a layup.

Jae Crowder ended up with the ball on a breakaway but gave it up to Marion for the dunk and a 70-69 Dallas lead with 1:44 remaining.

Philadelphia had the ball down just 90-87 in the fourth, but Samuel Dalembert had one of his three blocks on a drive by Turner.

Jose Calderon was wide open for a short jumper on the other end but passed before getting the ball back beyond the arc and hitting for a 9387 lead. Calderon had 14 points and was 4 of 10 from long range.

Coming off the bench for the first time this season, Dalembert also had eight points and a game-high 14 rebounds.

“I explained the situation this

morning,” Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. “He was great about it. It’s a case of a guy who didn’t let that affect him. He came in and he was a big factor.”

Anderson finished with 14 points, including 3-of-7 shooting from 3-point range. Thaddeus Young struggled from the field at 6 of 18 but still finished with a double-double at 12 points and 11 rebounds. Spencer Hawes had 10 points and 11 boards.

The Sixers shot just 38 percent and made only 12 of 22 free throws, numbers best illustrated by a sequence of three missed shots, four missed free throws and four offensive rebounds all in the same possession when they trailed 86-81 midway through the fourth quarter.

“I think we played our hearts

out,” Turner said. “Once again, we didn’t help ourselves at the freethrow line but we just have to keep up the intensity.”

Ellis didn’t get his first basket until the 2:12 mark of the second quarter. But it wasn’t because he was missing. He was just 2 of 4 from the field before halftime.

Carlisle’s move to replace Dalembert, his center, with Crowder, a forward, in the starting lineup backfired at first.

Crowder went 0 for 5 with two turnovers while Dallas went scoreless in the first 5 minutes before Nowitzki hit a baseline jumper after Marion rebounded a missed 3-pointer by Crowder, who scored two points on 1-of-8 shooting but did have six rebounds.

FOR RELEASE NOVEMBER 19, 2013

Panthers beat Patriots 24-20 in disputed finish CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — As the Carolina Panthers celebrated their sixth straight win, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were left wondering why a penalty that could have saved them on the final play was wiped out.

Cam Newton threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn Jr. with 59 seconds left and Carolina held off New England 24-20 Monday night when officials picked up a flag in the end zone.

After Newton drove the Panthers 83 yards on 13 plays for the go-ahead

touchdown, the Patriots had a chance at an improbable comeback when Brady moved New England to the Carolina 18 with 3 seconds left and fired into the end zone as time expired.

Rookie safety Robert Lester intercepted the pass, but an official at the back of the end zone threw a flag — apparently for pass interference on linebacker Luke Kuechly, who had both arms wrapped around tight end Rob Gronkowski.

The officials quickly gathered,

however, and waved off the flag — perhaps ruling Gronkowski could not have caught the ball, which was underthrown.

But there was no explanation.

Referee Clete Blakeman opened his microphone and announced there was no foul on the play, and the game was over.

“There was no explanation given to me. Officials ran off the field. I didn’t see anything,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “It was the last play of the game.

There was a flag thrown and then the game was over.”

A pass-interference call would have put the ball on the 1-yard line and given the Patriots one more shot at game-winning touchdown with no time on the clock.

Instead, the game ended in bizarre fashion.

An angry Brady ran down two officials to argue the call as they walked off the field, but later said he didn’t get a good look at the play.

Softball reveals 2014 schedule

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

The Texas Tech 2014 softball schedule was announced Monday by coach Shanon Hays. The schedule features 24 games at Rocky Johnson Field throughout the season, including two home tournaments.

The Lady Raiders look to have their fifth straight 30-win season and will participate in seven nonconference tournaments before beginning Big 12 Conference play.

Hays, who is entering his fifth season as coach, is confident about how the team will handle the schedule.

“We feel this schedule will prepare our young team for Big 12 play,” he said in the release. “This will be a challenging schedule with several good teams in nonconference, and then we make

trips to Texas and Oklahoma, who were the top two teams in our league last year. We’re excited for February to get here so we can get started.”

The 2014 season begins Feb. 6 at the Lion Classic hosted by Southeastern Louisiana. Tech opens the season against the host.

After being on the road for the first three weekends of the season, Tech will finish February with its first of two home tournaments, the Texas Tech Invitational.

The tournament stretches from Feb. 28 to March 2. The Lady Raiders will host Southern University, Sam Houston State and Abilene Christian.

The fourth annual Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic will be hosted the following weekend in Lubbock. The event will last from March 7-9.

Tech will then travel to

Southern California for its last nonconference trip of the season.

It will participate in tournaments at California State-Fullerton and San Diego State, according to the release.

Next, the Lady Raiders start an eight-game home stand that closes out their nonconference play. Tech will begin with a doubleheader against North Texas, followed by a three-game series against Texas State.

Tech’s conference schedule begins March 28 with a threegame series against Baylor.

This will be the first of three home Big 12 series. Tech also hosts Oklahoma State (April 11-13) and Iowa State (April 25-27).

The Lady Raiders will close out the regular season against the defending National Champion Oklahoma on May 2-4. ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com

Bryant shrugs off bold words from Giants IRVING (AP) — Dez Bryant had two chances to respond to Jason Pierre-Paul’s claim that the New York Giants were going to rough up the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Bryant turned down both, and said Dallas will have to show similar restraint at game time since the Giants are hot and his team is not going into an NFC East showdown with playoff implications.

“You can’t be going out there trying to look for home runs,” Bryant said. “You’ve got to let that stuff come. That’s what we’re going to do.”

The freshest memory for the Cowboys is a 49-17 loss to New Orleans before last week’s bye. They weren’t competitive, then watched

over the weekend while Philadelphia (6-5) beat Washington to move a half-game ahead of Dallas (5-5), knocking the Cowboys out of the division lead for the first time this season.

The Giants (4-6) pulled within a game of the Cowboys by beating Green Bay for their fourth straight win after an 0-6 start.

Pierre-Paul boldly predicted his 24-yard interception return — rare for a pass rusher — in the huddle before the play. He spoke of beating the Cowboys afterward, saying the Giants were “going to put it on them,” among other things.

“He’s supposed to feel that way,” Bryant said. “You’re an opponent.

We’re an opponent for them. It’s

great confidence.”

The Cowboys opened the season with a 36-31 win over the Giants in a game that was close despite six New York turnovers because Eli Manning threw for 450 yards.

Since then, three more quarterbacks have thrown for at least 400 yards to set an NFL record against one team.

Drew Brees would have been the fifth if the Saints hadn’t been so far ahead of the Cowboys. Against New York, Dallas figures to be without its best defensive player, linebacker Sean Lee, because of a strained hamstring. And PierrePaul’s counterpart, DeMarcus Ware, aggravated a thigh injury against the Saints.

Houston’s Gary Keenum to start against Jaguars HOUSTON (AP) — Texans coach Gary Kubiak is sticking with Case Keenum as his starter despite pulling the quarterback late in Houston’s latest loss.

Keenum will start on Sunday as the Texans try to snap a franchise-record eight-game skid at home against Jacksonville on Sunday.

“I’ve got total confidence in him,” Kubiak said.

But on Sunday against Oakland, he pulled Keenum for Matt Schaub late in the third quarter of a loss to the Raiders after the Texans were forced to punt on each of their first three possessions of the second half. Schaub struggled early this season and hadn’t played since Oct. 13, after he was benched following an injury.

Keenum, an undrafted free agent who spent last year on the practice squad, has thrown for 992 yards and eight touchdowns with one interception in four starts.

Kubiak isn’t worried that yanking

Keenum from the game will affect his confidence.

“No. Actually, I think I was really thinking of him to be honest with you,” he said. “I’ve been in this league a long time and dealt with a lot of quarterbacks. I’m trying to develop one right now. Right or wrong, I made that decision because of the situation I thought I was fixing to put a young player in ... that’s why I do what I did. He knows that. I talked to him about that.”

Keenum didn’t seem worried about the move on Monday.

“He told me the reasons it happened and it’s not a big deal,” Keenum said.

Kubiak said he decided to bring in the veteran Schaub because he thought he would be more equipped to handle the way he planned to call the game in the fourth quarter and he doesn’t regret the decision.

“Yeah, I’d do it again because of why I did it,” Kubiak said. “Was it the right (decision)? Yeah, because I think

at that time, that’s what I wanted to do as a coach. I knew what I was fixing to do calling the game and I didn’t want to put a young guy in a bad situation ... so I made that decision to go with Matt.”

Kubiak said he spoke with both quarterbacks on Monday and explained his decision-making to them.

Schaub, the 32-year-old who has started for the Texans since 2007, was understandably unhappy with Keenum keeping the starting job.

“Matt is the same every day,” Kubiak said. “He wants to play. He wants to get back out there and play on a regular basis. That’s been no difference from that standpoint. It just would have been nice if we could have finished the deal yesterday.”

Sunday was Kubiak’s first game back after missing a game recovering from a mini-stroke. He coached from the booth on advice from his doctors, and didn’t like it at all. He said on Monday that he isn’t sure if they’ll force him to coach from there again this week.
