Burkhart Center receives $75,000 grant

By EMILY GARDNER STAFF WRITER

The Lubbock community now will have greater access to services for families dealing with developmental disabilities.

The Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research received a $75,000 West Texas Community Network grant in January through the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities.

The grant is for one year, and will allow the center to put together a strategic plan to connect the dots and create a network, Leigh Kackley Smith, project coordinator, said.

The project and grant will hopefully, she said, be renewed for an extended period of time after the year is up.

“We came up with the idea that we want to find out what services are needed by families that are taking care of individuals with developmental disabilities, whatever age group,” Smith said.

According to the TCDD website, a developmental disability is defined as a severe chronic disability that can be attributed to mental and physical impairments, becomes apparent before an individual is 22 years old, results in substantial functional limitations, and reflects the need for interdisciplinary or special services, or other extended or lifelong forms of assistance.

The developmental disabilities the project will deal with will include autism and Down syndrome, Smith said.

The proposal for the grant was based on The Parenting Stress grant the center received from The CH Foundation last year, said David Richman, director of the Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research. “(That grant) was a combination of service to the community, which included a parent call-in center where a parent support

specialist would be able to interview the parents and try to figure out what their greatest needs were for services and then link them to people in the community,” he said.

The center also offered an online forum for parents Leigh Kackley and a way for parSmith ents to come to the Project center to talk with coordinator DeAnn Lechtenberger, the project director and principle investigator of the new grant, Richman said.

“This grant is going to allow us to continue something that we got started with very local funds from The CH Foundation, which is now federally funded though the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities,” he said. “We’re very excited that this project that started out as just kind of a small project on parenting stress is something that is going to last for the next several years.”

The Burkhart Center’s goal, Smith said, is to provide a plan that will create a network of services that will help families caring for people with developmental disabilities from Lubbock to Amarillo and all communities in between.

“What we propose to do is, first, find out what the needs are in the community, what parents and families need and want,” she said, “and then try to work within the systems that are already available in Lubbock and in those areas to meet those needs.”

Double-double leads to double-digit victory

By MICHAEL SUNIGA STAFF WRITER

Coming off a three-game winning streak, the Texas Tech women’s basketball team earned its sixth Big 12 Conference victory of the season, playing host to the TCU Horned Frogs on Sunday afternoon.

The Lady Raiders expanded on their winning streak, winning 53-42.

Tech senior guard Chynna Brown led all scorers on the afternoon with 23 points and 12 rebounds, leading to her first career double-double.

“I think she’s playing very well right now,” TCU coach Jeff Mittie said. “This is a player that really is shooting the ball with a lot of confidence.”

Despite her career game against TCU, Brown said she wanted to give credit to her teammates for her success.

“I don’t pay attention to how many points I score, I just want to win,” Brown said. “I wouldn’t have gotten those points without my teammates.”

Tech senior guard Monique Smalls said she enjoys getting to play with a prolific scorer like Brown.

“It’s been lovely,” she said. “My assists are just racking up.”

A focal point of Tech’s attack was its aggressiveness on defense, which led to 25 points off turnovers.

Tech turned the ball over 18 times, but TCU was unable to capitalize; they scored only seven points off the Lady Raiders’ turnovers.

Having a poor shooting performance on the afternoon — 33.3 percent from the field on 22-66 shooting — the Lady Raiders were forced to score the ball through multiple outlets.

TEXAS TECH GUARD Chynna Brown shoots the ball over TCU’s Zahna Medley during the Lady Raiders’ 53-42 win against the Horned Frogs on Sunday at United Spirit Arena.

Tech’s poor shooting performance can be attributed to TCU’s effort on defense because the Red Raiders were held to their lowest scoring performance on the season.

“We made them miss enough today,” Mittie said.

However, both sides were forced to shoot the ball from outside because of superior defensive play.

“It wasn’t our best shooting day,” Curry said.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un convened top security and foreign affairs officials and ordered them to take “substantial and high-profile important state measures,” state media said Sunday, fueling speculation that he plans to push forward with a threat to explode a nuclear device in defiance of the United Nations.

The meeting of top officials led by Kim underscores Pyongyang’s defiant stance in protest of U.N. Security Council punishment for a December rocket launch. The dispatch in the official Korean Central News Agency did not say when the meeting took place.

Last week, the Security Council condemned North Korea’s Dec. 12 launch of a long-range rocket as a violation of a ban against nuclear and missile activity. The council, including North Korea ally China, punished Pyongyang with more sanctions and ordered the regime to refrain from a nuclear test — or face “significant action.”

North Korea responded by rejecting the resolution and maintaining its right to launch a satellite into orbit as part of a peaceful civilian space program.

It warned that it would keep de-

veloping rockets and testing nuclear devices to counter what it sees as U.S. hostility. A rare statement was issued Thursday by the powerful National Defense Commission, the top governing body led by Kim. Kim’s order for firm action and the recent series of strong statements indicate he intends to conduct a nuclear test in the near future to show “he is a young yet powerful leader both domestically and internationally,” said Chin Heegwan, a North Korea expert at South Korea’s Inje University.

North Korea cites a U.S. military threat in the region as a key reason behind its drive to build nuclear weapons.

The countries fought on opposite sides of the Korean War, which ended after three years in 1953 with an armistice, not a peace treaty. The U.S.-led U.N. Command mans the Demilitarized Zone dividing the two Koreas, and Washington stations more than 28,000 troops in South Korea to protect its ally.

North Korea is estimated to have enough weaponized plutonium for four to eight bombs, according to American nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker, who visited the country’s nuclear complex northwest of Pyongyang in

November 2010.

However, it is not known whether North Korean scientists have found a way to build nuclear warheads small enough to mount on a long-range missile.

Experts say regular tests are needed to perfect the technique, and another atomic test could take the country closer to its goal of building a warhead that can be mounted on a missile designed to strike the United States. North Korea has carried out two nuclear tests, in 2006 and 2009.

South Korean defense officials say North Korea is technically ready to conduct a nuclear test in a matter of days.

Satellite photos taken Wednesday show that over the past month, roads have been kept clear of snow and that North Koreans may have been sealing the tunnel into a mountainside where a nuclear device would be detonated.

Analysis of the images of the Punggye-ri site was provided Friday to The Associated Press by 38 North, the website of the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

The center is trying to connect different people including medical providers and behavior specialists that can work with developmental disabilities, Smith said.

The center will use the Internet to make the information accessible, she said, but also will offer focus groups, complete surveys with families and talk to service providers.

“Instead of just have the list of services, we’re going to work with the lady that developed that,” Smith said, “and with High Point Village who has some contacts with the family out in the community, and then the HALI project there in Amarillo had contacts out in the community.

And we’re just going to try and take what’s there and network it so that people have access to those resources.”

The HALI project and High Point Village both serve families with children who have special needs, according to their websites.

The Burkhart Center partnered with the HALI project in Amarillo and High Point Village in Lubbock, Smith said.

The center will expand the online forum that was started by The CH Foundation grant, she said. They also will try to interact with the actual community.

The center is providing and expanding these services, Smith said, because the Burkhart Center may be the only source of help for families with developmental disabilities in the rural areas outside Lubbock.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to work with … the HALI project and High Point Village, and we’re excited about the opportunity to work with the families to know and understand what their needs are,” Smith said. ➤➤egardner@dailytoreador.com

countries have warned North Korea not to go ahead with a nuclear test, saying that would only deepen the country’s international isolation.

After meeting with Chinese officials Friday, U.S. envoy for North Korea Glyn Davies said a nuclear test would set back efforts to restart regional talks on the North’s nuclear disarmament.

North Korea has accused the U.S. and South Korea of leading the push for

the U.N. Security Council resolution.

Sunday’s KCNA dispatch said the U.N. punishment indicates U.S. hostility toward North Korea has reached its highest point. North Korea warned South Korea on Friday of “strong physical countermeasures” if Seoul takes part in the U.N. sanctions.

Japan on Sunday launched two intelligence satellites into orbit amid concerns about North Korea’s threats

to conduct more rocket launches and a nuclear test.

The launch was in the planning stages long before the ongoing tensions with North Korea, but underscores Japan’s longstanding wariness of its neighbor’s abilities and intentions.

Japan began its intelligence satellite program after North Korea fired a long-range missile over Japan’s main island in 1998.

Deadly smoke, blocked exit: 230 die in Brazil BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Flames raced through a crowded nightclub in southern Brazil early Sunday, killing more than 230 people as panicked partygoers gasped for breath in the smoke-filled air, stampeding toward a single exit partially blocked by those already dead. It appeared to be the world’s deadliest nightclub fire in more than a decade.

Witnesses said a flare or firework lit by band members may have started the blaze in Santa Maria, a major university city of about 225,000 people.

Television images showed smoke

pouring out of the Kiss nightclub as shirtless young men who had attended a university party joined firefighters using axes and sledgehammers to pound at windows and walls to free those trapped inside.

Guido Pedroso Melo, commander of the city’s fire department, told the O Globo newspaper that firefighters had a hard time getting inside the club because “there was a barrier of bodies blocking the entrance.”

Teenagers sprinted from the scene desperately seeking help. Others carried injured and burned friends away

in their arms.

“There was so much smoke and fire, it was complete panic, and it took a long time for people to get out, there were so many dead,” survivor Luana Santos Silva told the Globo TV network.

The fire spread so fast inside the packed club that firefighters and ambulances could do little to stop it, Silva said.

Another survivor, Michele Pereira, told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper that she was near the stage when members of the band lit flares that started the conflagration.

Former Masked Rider takes ownership of Midnight Matador

By NIKKI CULVER STAFF WRITER

Midnight Matador, Texas Tech’s 13th horse to participate in its mascot program, will retire under the ownership of Stacy Stockard Moncibaiz, the 43rd Masked Rider.

A subcommittee of the Masked Rider advisory committee reviewed proposals from former riders interested in taking the horse, according to a news release.

Moncibaiz served as the Masked Rider in the 2004-2005 school year and graduated in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural communications. She is currently the marketing coordinator for Transportation and Parking Services.

“Midnight Matador has been the heart and soul of our Masked Rider program for more than a decade,” Moncibaiz said in the release. “I am honored to be selected to take care of him in his retirement. His well-being means the world to me, and I look forward to providing him with a wonderful, loving home.”

Amy Murphy, director for the Center of Campus Life, said in the release she trusts Midnight Matador is going to be taken care of with Moncibaiz as his owner.

“Stacy was an exceptional Masked Rider and has continued her involvement with the program

as a representative on the Masked Rider Advisory Committee and Field Safety, as well as with Texas Tech University as a committed alumni and staff member,” Murphy said in the release. “Stacy outlined a plan that will care for the aging horse and provide a stable home for him as he retires. One of the greatest aspects of the Masked Rider program is the community of former riders like Stacy who offer their continued involvement and support to the program. It only makes sense that Midnight Matador should make his new home with one of his former riders.”

Midnight Matador served as the Masked Rider’s horse for 10 seasons, with 11 different riders, according to the release. Midnight Matador was the longest-serving horse in the mascot program’s history.

Midnight Matador was selected for the program in 2002 when he was 3 years old from Hoggett Ranches in Bluff Dale. His former riders include Moncibaiz as well as Jessica Melvin, Ben Holland, Justin Burgin, Amy Bell, Kevin Burns, Ashley Hartzog, Brianne Aucutt Hight, Chrisit Chadwell, Bradley Skinner and the current rider, Ashley Wenzel, according to the release.

Midnight’s television appearances include being seen on “ESPN College Gameday,” “ESPN Road Trip,” “60 Minutes,” as well

Disney says J.J. Abrams to direct next ‘Star Wars’ Harry’s Afghan downtime: movies, candy trades (AP) The Walt Disney Co. issued a statement Friday night confirming reports that had been circulating for two days that Abrams, Emmy-award-winning creator of TV’s “Lost” and director of 2009’s “Star Trek” movie, has been pegged

to direct the seventh installment of the “Star Wars” franchise.

“J.J. is the perfect director to helm this,” said Kathleen Kennedy, the movie’s producer and president of Lucasfilm, which was acquired by Disney last month for

$4.06 billion.

“Beyond having such great instincts as a filmmaker, he has an intuitive understanding of this franchise. He understands the essence of the Star Wars experience,” Kennedy said in the statement.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry’s off-duty time in Afghanistan appeared to be full of war movies, board games and elaborate candy trades.

The 28-year-old helicopter pilot and fellow members of his squad swapped Kit Kats and Rice Krispies Squares for

American soldiers’ M&Ms, according to a British media pool report released Sunday.

Harry himself outlined one of his less-prestigious duties. The third-in-line to the U.K. throne said anyone who lost at Uckers — a military game similar to Ludo or Parcheesi — had to then wait

on his comrades like a Buckingham Palace butler, ready with a fresh cup of tea whenever anyone rang their bell.

“Whoever loses ... then you have to make brews for everybody all day,” Harry told journalists ahead of his return to Britain this past week.

Study habits: Goal-oriented decisions have long-term effects E

verybody wants to get the ever-sought-after A. Good grades in general are so sought after that sleep becomes a thing of the past and any means to focus and study instantaneously become best friends.

Two of the most common strategies used to study through the night are to guzzle massive amounts of coffee and energy drinks, or to use the prescription drug Adderall to focus and stay awake. But are these truly worth the risk? Many students may think so, but the detriments these two methods can cause are not worth the A so dearly wanted.

Let’s begin with the ample variety of energy drinks readily available whenever a student needs them. Monster, NOS, Red Bull — all these drinks are

Ethan Terry

meant to give a powerful boost of energy when the day begins to drag, not to induce sleep deprivation and keep people up all night.

It became very apparent, though, after looking over the website energyfiend.com, that these drinks can easily rob anyone of sleep, and they don’t exactly promise to help you focus.

In a typical 8-ounce cup, there is about 107.5 milligrams of caffeine. Moving up the chain, a 16-ounce can of Monster contains 160 milligrams of

caffeine. NOS, probably the most intense of the group, has 260 milligrams. (Yes, that number is correct. It even tells you on the can).

Now let’s say during the course of an overnight cram session, I was to drink five 16-ounce cans of Monster. In all, that’s about 800 milligrams of caffeine pumping through my body.

The problem is that the maximum amount of caffeine one should have in one day is 400 milligrams. Factoring in all the Monster and coffee taken during the day, this caffeine overload can lead to serious health problems. According to drugs.com, too much caffeine can lead to high blood pressure, stomach pains and uncontrolled muscle movements. I restate my original question, is all of the caffeine

truly worth the risk?

There are some who would not drink a Monster to save their lives, but that does not mean there are not other ways students find to study the night away.

The method I’m referring to is the prescription drug Adderall.

Just the fact alone that this is a prescription drug being misused is a terrible sign.

Adderall’s medical name is dextroamphetamine. Other things that are included in the amphetamine drug group are drugs like methamphetamine, which is known commonly as crystal meth. Under the effects of Adderall, a drug test would discover amphetamine, which can be mistaken for the hardcore drug. So taking this prior to a job interview that requires drug testing would not be a wise idea.

As for the side effects of this

little pill, they include a variety of ailments from loss of appetite to nausea, headaches and stomachaches. Not to mention that Adderall can have very adverse side effects to those that have not been exposed to it before or have possible allergic reactions to it. By the way, these side effects can include seizures, irregular heartbeat or cause you to be more tired instead of keeping you awake.

Above all this, we can not forget the fact that sleep deprivation causes its own myriad of problems. The website sleeptracks.org gives what are considered the five most common effects of sleep deprivation.

They include sheer exhaustion, impaired coordination, blurred or ‘off vision’, general discomfort and future health problems.

Think about it: When you

The Trots

go into your classroom for the test with no sleep, more caffeine than blood running through your veins, and under the effects of Adderall, how well will the test actually go? It’s great that so much time was spent studying, but when it’s impossible to focus on the test because of the side effects of all the crap that is coursing through your body, how can anyone hope to get the ever-sought-after A? As always, the choice is up to the student as to how they choose to study. If the good grade outweighs the detriments caused by using energy drinks and drugs, by all means, go for it. It’s your life. Live it how you will.

Is Gov. Chris Christie too fat to be president 40 years later, Roe v.

Wade still resonates The American people have just finally exhaled after enduring a long and tiring presidential campaign, and already the talk has turned to 2016. (“Talk” here meaning the blathering of TV’s “talking heads.”)

In my first “PR Presidency” class, we addressed this talk with a talk of our own. First, we talked about the many names rumored to be 2016 contenders, and then about just one of those names: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

My professor gingerly brought up the subject of Christie’s girth and then, as politely as possible, asked us, “Is Chris Christie too…fat…to be president?”

But, forgive me, this is my maiden editorial column in The Eagle, and I have neglected to introduce myself.

My name is Ryan Migeed, I am a sophomore and I do not believe that Christie is too fat to be president.

The problem with the “Christie is too fat” arguments is that they are all preconceived.

He and his team of savvy politicos can anticipate any claim and prepare for it. “Heart disease” is countered with “no history in the family.” “High blood pressure” is refuted with “What presidential candidate doesn’t have high blood pressure in such a fast-paced campaign?”

And the surest answer to any query is a clean bill of health from his doctor, which is entirely possible. (Granted, that bill of health would include a scribbled note from the doctor saying, “Lose weight,” but let’s ignore that for a moment.)

The kicker, of course, would be an exercise regimen, and many argue that if Christie starts to lose weight, he is definitely running in 2016.

But I argue that Christie can be a contender – and quite possibly win – without ever dropping a pound from now until Election

His weight will be an issue, but only a subconscious one. His opponents won’t bring it up out of courtesy, and only reporters and town hall-goers will dare to broach the subject.

To be sure, Christie will be asked about his weight. But if he has a ready-made answer that displays enough humor (without getting angry at the premise of the question or the questioner’s right to ask it), he can effectively turn his weight into a non-issue.

Remember Ronald Reagan’s famous 1984 one-liner? When asked a question about his age—he would become the oldest president elected—Reagan coolly responded, “I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”

If Christie can have a similar “Reagan moment” (and he can), he will beat the “Christie is too fat” argument.

weight simply plays into his devil-may-care attitude.

It is as much a part of his character as his aggressive press conferences. And characters do well on national television.

What is most interesting about this whole “Is Christie too large?” debate is that it seems to be divided on generational lines.

In my class, many, if not most, students dismissed Christie’s weight as an unimportant factor.

Meanwhile, our professor (who is about our parents’ age), could not accept the idea that the American people would ignore such an obvious trait.

Perhaps the youngest voting generation is more willing to overlook physical differences in light of policy differences.

After all, we were the ones who helped propel the first African-American into the presidency. Perhaps we’ll do it again with the first modern president who happens to be… big-boned.

DAILY TROJAN (U. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA)

Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of Roe v. Wade.

The verdict utilized the due process clause of the 14th Amendment to protect a woman’s privacy regarding the right to choose. Roe v.

Wade and a concurrent case, Doe v. Bolton, addressed the lack of clarity in state laws regarding abortion access.

The decision made in Roe v.

Wade attempted to rectify the complication of two key interests with regard to pregnancy termination: women’s health and prenatal life. It was established that women should have full access to abortion services until viability. Since we have become accustomed to the issue of choice, the terminology of the decision lacks so much specificity that attempts at defining “life” have become prevalent.

For instance, viability is relative to each pregnancy and cannot be applied in a universal manner and is complicated by conceptions of personhood, as shown in attempts at limiting Mississippi’s Initiative 26. Such are the issues that arise in motions to regulate and enforce the inherent nuances of pregnancy.

We have seen efforts aimed at clarifying these problems through the legal system in successive cases brought before the Supreme Court, including Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Gonzales v.

As we attempt to coalesce action regarding an issue with two main interest camps maintaining their own distinct perspectives on the issue, we will continue to encounter issues of clarity and complications of enforcement.

Tech baseball outplays alumni in 5-4 victory

By ZACH DISCHIANO SPORTS EDITOR

The Texas Tech baseball team capitalized on its opportunity to show up its predecessors Saturday when it defeated the Red Raider alumni 5-4.

Junior pitcher Jonny Drozd, a transfer from Grayson County College, earned the win by pitching the final two innings of the game and allowing just one unearned run with two hits in his outing.

“For the first time, it felt really good to be back out there,” Drozd said. “Those were the first live hitters I’ve been back against so it took a little time to get the feel back where I could get my feet under me and get a groove going.”

Drozd’s teammate and Tech’s starting pitcher Trey Masek struggled to find the strike zone during his only inning of play, walking four batters and giving up two hits on the night.

“He’ll be fine,” Tech coach Tim Tadlock said. “That was, like, his first outing in spring training. It was good to just get him on the mound.”

Giving the Tech pitching staff the

most difficulty was the ninth round draft pick for the Seattle Mariners and current outfielder for the Everett AquaSox, Jamodrick McGruder.

With two hits and two stolen bases, McGruder was an effective component of the alumni’s offense.

Only two players on the Red Raiders recorded at least two hits during the game. Sophomore second baseman Bryant Burleson went 3-4 with one RBI, while sophomore first baseman Blake Bass went 2-4 with a double and an RBI. “It was fun, and I thank those guys a lot for coming back and just giving us a game,” Burleson said. “It was fun facing those guys.”

Freshman outfielder Zach Davis got a taste of what a Major League pitch might be like when he picked up a base hit during the final inning of play off of a 96 mph fastball from Chad Bettis, a current member of the Tulsa Drillers.

“It’s just really neat to watch the alumni compete and play,” Tadlock said. “They were tough to beat today.”

Former All-American and current Miami Marlins pitcher A.J. Ramos

said the Red Raiders are young and talented, but still have work to do.

“They look really young,” Ramos said. “But you can see that there’s some talent there. I think talent is going to set them in the right direction. They just need to go over some little stuff, but that’s the way it goes.

I think for the next couple of years they’re going to be pretty good.

They’re going to grow into (Tadlock’s) coaching strategy and they’re going to fit in perfect.”

Reid Redman, a member of the alumni team and current Minor League second baseman for the Princeton Rays, said he believes the future is bright for Tech baseball.

“Everything has transition, and this is a time for a bunch of young guys that are really good and are going to be good in years to come,” Redman said. “Coach Tadlock has them playing well, he’s going to have them compete and they’re going to be fine.”

Tadlock said he was focused more on getting his players active than the outcome of the game.

“It’s about rhythm and timing, and getting at-bats and getting on the

mound and finding that timing,” he said. “You saw some guys that needed to find some, and some that don’t. But it’s just good to get on the field again.”

The win for Tech marks its fourth in the game’s four-year history, but

players are more concerned with enjoying themselves on the field, Ramos said.

“Any time this group of guys gets together, it’s fun,” he said. “Everybody together, this group of guys, it’s

just a good atmosphere.”

No. 7 Hoosiers hold off Red Raiders fall to Longhorns in rivalry clash No. 13 Spartans 75-70 with 15:36 to play.

From that point, Indiana never led by more than six and the Spartans couldn’t tie the score or take the lead.

Meanwhile, Oladipo kept coming up with big plays. His 17-foot jumper with 6:57 left made it 68-63. On the next possession, Oladipo was headed for a dunk but instead drew the fifth foul on Keith Appling, sending him to the free-throw line for two shots.

Christian Watford followed that by making 1 of 2 free throws with 3:17 to play and Cody Zeller put in his second basket of the game, a layup with 1:38 left, to give the Hoosiers a 74-70 lead.

But Michigan State still had chances. Harris missed a 3 from the left corner just before Zeller’s basket and after Oladipo missed a layup, Zeller took a charge from Payne with 14.3 seconds to go. The Spartans immediately fouled Jordan Hulls , who made 1 of 2 free throws to seal it for the Hoosiers.

The Spartans had trouble keeping up with Oladipo.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Victor Oladipo took control for No. 7 Indiana in the opening minutes Sunday and never let go.

The junior guard scored 21 points, grabbed seven rebounds and finished with six steals, leading the Hoosiers to a 75-70 victory over No. 13 Michigan State.

Indiana (18-2, 6-1 Big Ten) has now won three straight and two in a row in this series. The latest win helped break up the three-team logjam that started the day with only one loss each in conference play.

Michigan State (17-4, 6-2) was led by Gary Harris, Indiana’s 2012 Mr. Basketball, who had 21 points and made five 3-pointers. Adreian Payne added 18 points and nine rebounds and doubled his season total by making three 3s.

And it was every bit as entertaining as the Top 15 matchup was billed.

Indiana jumped to a 50-43 lead early in the second half, but the Spartans answered with back-to-back 3s from Harris to cut the deficit 50-49

AUSTIN (AP) — Texas’ Big 12 losing skid is over. The Longhorns finally found a way to not only build a big lead but to keep it and win.

Julien Lewis scored a seasonhigh 18 points, leading Texas to a 73-57 win over Texas Tech on Saturday night, the Longhorns’ first in the Big 12 after an 0-5 start.

“It feels real good,” Lewis said.

“From now on, we just have to keep winning. It starts now. It’s like a new season for us.”

The “old” season was one of blown leads, inconsistent play, injuries and the NCAA suspension of starting point guard Myck Kabongo until mid-February. The “new” one — for one game at least — saw Texas get a spark from unexpected places on offense and defense.

Ioannis Papapetrou scored 15 points and Demarcus Holland 11 for the Longhorns (9-10, 1-5).

Sheldon McClellan, Texas’ leading scorer on the season, started for the first time in five games and finished with 10 points.

Texas won for the first time since Dec. 29 and ended its worst

lead in a home loss to Kansas a week earlier, but was in total control of the Red Raiders just a few minutes after halftime. Lewis scored five in a row and swished a 3-pointer that put Texas ahead 42-26.

Texas forced the Red Raiders into 19 turnovers and converted them into 22 points.

“It’s basically impossible to win like that,” Texas Tech interim coach Chris Walker said.

He added: “Texas has lost some tough games. You can’t look at their record. They played some tough teams. They’re a bunch of young guys.”

Texas Tech cut the lead to 5244 on a 3-pointer by Jaye Crockett with just over seven minutes left but never threatened again. The Longhorns scored five straight points, including a 3-pointer by Papapetrou, to end the rally.

“We haven’t responded the way we’ve liked, but tonight we did,” Barnes said. “We haven’t harped on (the losing) as much as we’ve harped on why we’re not winning. I don’t think these guys ever thought they weren’t good enough.”

Parker powers San Antonio past Phoenix 108-99 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — It’s easy to see why Tony Parker is headed to another All-Star game.

Parker had 31 points and seven assists, and the San Antonio Spurs earned their eighth consecutive win by shutting down the Phoenix Suns in the final quarter for a 108-99 victory on Saturday night.

“He is unbelievable,” said teammate Manu Ginobili, who had 20 points. “I cannot say he became a fourth-quarter finisher this year because of how he played last year, especially in the first two months. But he is in that point of his career where he is so confident. He is doing so good that he can relax a little bit in the first half then when we need him, he starts making those jumpers and takes over.”

in a row at home.

Michael Beasley had 25 points and Jared Dudley scored 23 for the Suns (15-29), who lost for the first time since coach Lindsey Hunter took over.

“He’s their best player,” Dudley said of Parker. “He’s their best offensive threat. He knows their offense.

If they don’t have him, I know the Spurs are always good, but they can’t win without him.”

Playing without Tim Duncan (sore knee) and coach Gregg Popovich (illness) for a third consecutive game, the

Spurs needed a clutch performance from Parker in the fourth and he stepped up again.

Showing no ill effects from a blow to the head by Elton Brand that required three stitches during a 113107 victory at Dallas on Friday night, Parker had 11 points and five assists as San Antonio outscored Phoenix 27-17 in the fourth, forcing six turnovers in the period. The speedy point guard finished 13 for 17 from the field and only had three turnovers in 34 minutes.

and really got into it and helped us out at critical times,” she said.

Tech is at an advantage in conference play because four of its five starters are currently seniors. Therefore, they are able to draw experience from previous years, Curry said.

“The thing about this team is they’re just preparing every day for the next one,” she said. “I’m proud of their leadership and mindset every day.

Although the Lady Raiders can credit their win to a multitude of factors, Curry said she gives credit to the crowd’s liveliness in the stands.

Tech track and field has record-setting weekend

By ZACH DISCHIANO SPORTS EDITOR

This weekend, in College Station, several Texas Tech athletes recorded personal bests in their respective events.

Few of these performances, however, could compare to that of junior Kennedy Kithuka.

Only months after winning the cross-country national championship and only hours after breaking the Tech record for the distance medley relay, Kithuka etched his name deeper into the school’s history books Saturday when he became the first Tech athlete to run a mile in fewer than four minutes.

Wi t h a t i m e o f 3 : 5 9 : 5 3 , Kithuka took home first place and another school record — this one exceedingly difficult to break.

“It was just an outstanding performance by Kennedy,” Tech cross-country coach and assistant track and field coach Jon Murray said in a news release.

“Breaking the four-minute barrier has always been a magical

barrier for a middle-distance runner and for Kennedy to do it is another tribute to his great ability. He handled the pressure of the competition with ease.”

Kithuka was not the only Tech runner to break a school record Saturday. Senior Katie Grimes remains undefeated in the 60-meter hurdles after breaking or matching a record in her third consecutive meet.

“We had several good performances today,” Wes Kittley, Tech director of track and field and cross country, said in the news release. “Kennedy was just awesome in mile. Katie (Grimes) had another solid performance. It was good to get some experience on a banked track, and several of our newcomers learned a lot this weekend.”

Grimes was able to outrun a decorated athlete in Donique Flemings. The Texas A&M senior hurdler was named 2012 First Team All-American and also won a Big 12 championship in the 100-meter hurdle race. Despite her accomplish-

ments, Flemings could not catch Grimes, who finished just .02 seconds away from capturing the meet’s record set in 2010.

“She just ran a fantastic race,” Tech coach Dion Miller said in the release. “Katie (Grimes) continues to improve each week, and she ran a great race against great competition today. She ran like a senior today, and has a lot left in her.”

Other notable performances include the one by sophomore Jacorian Duffield, who leapt 6’11.50” to pick up a first place finish in the high jump. Sophomore Cierra White ran a seasonbest 23.85 in the 200-meter dash, earning a second place finish with her efforts.

Kyal Meyers, an All-American, finished second in the men’s pole vault, clearing 17’-0.25”.

This was the eighth time in his career he has cleared 17 feet.

The Tech track and field team will look to continue its success when it hosts the Red Raider Open next weekend in Lubbock.

Blake Griffin had 24 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for the Clippers, just shy of his third career triple-double.

The Clippers are 3-3 in the six total games Paul has missed because of his kneecap.

Eric Bledsoe once again started in the All-Star guard’s place.

There was uncertainty before the

Portland was coming off a 100-80 victory Wednesday night over the Indiana Pacers that snapped a six-game losing streak.

The Blazers’ victory against the Pacers also snapped a four-game losing streak at the Rose Garden. Forward LaMarcus Aldridge had 27 points against Indiana and the next day was selected as an All-Star Game reserve. He will join Paul and Griffin on the West team for the game on Feb. 17 in Houston.
