University honors Red Raiders who have died as part of Homecoming’s TECHsan Memorial

Despite confusion surrounding the Homecoming pep rally, Texas Tech will continue with the original plan of using a flaming Double T in place of a bonfire today at John Walker Soccer Complex after the Tech-Kansas soccer game.

In a previous article, The Daily Toreador reported that Lubbock County Judge Tom Head’s official opinion was that the flaming Double T would be a clear violation of the countywide burn ban.

Ronald Phillips, Tech’s general council, said he spoke to the judge on several occasions and, due to the wording of the law, the university would not be in violation of the ban.

“At one point, the county believed that the burn ban was applicable throughout the county,” Phillips said.

“After receiving a legal interpretation from the county attorney, Judge Head did confirm that it only applied to the unincorporated parts of the county and is not applicable to our revised Homecoming plans.”

While the event will continue as planned, Phillips said the university is sensitive to the dry weather conditions and will take every necessary safety precaution in order to prevent an uncontrolled fire.

Wildlife groups sue for more protection of turtles NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Several wildlife protection groups are suing the federal agency that regulates fishing in U.S. waters, claiming the government isn’t doing enough to protect endangered sea turtles from drowning in shrimp nets.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in Washington claims the National Marine Fisheries Service violates the Endangered Species Act by letting some shrimpers operate without required turtle excluder devices on their nets and exempting some shrimping from the requirement.

The gear is required on many shrimp trawls in federal and state waters, but some kinds of trawls and other nets are exempt under certain conditions. A Louisiana law passed in 1987 makes it illegal for state wildlife agents to enforce turtle excluder device regulations in state waters.

The plaintiffs want a court order requiring all shrimpers to have the devices. The wildlife groups claim that more than 1,400 dead and injured turtles have washed ashore this year.

“Gulf shrimp trawling continues to be a brutal, relentless killer of endangered sea turtles — there’s simply no other way to put it,” said Todd Steiner, executive director of Seaturtles.org.

“For generations, industrial shrimping has been the leading cause of sea turtle death — an atrocity that is completely unnecessary, if shrimpers used the lowcost technology that has existed for over two decades.”

“Our fire marshal will be present at the Homecoming activities along with the Lubbock Fire Department,” Phillips said. “Safety precautions have and will be taken to ensure we have a spirited, but safe, Homecoming event.”

Clinton Thetford, emergency management coordinator for Lubbock County, said the issue still concerns whether or not the current burn ban includes incorporated areas of Lubbock.

“Modifications to the current ban

Agency spokeswoman Connie Barclay said attorneys had not yet reviewed the suit and the agency typically does not comment on litigation.

Last month, the agency said its enforcement agents along the 1,631mile Gulf Coast had been spending nearly all their time since April making sure shrimpers were using the excluder devices.

Requirements for turtle excluder devices began in the 1980s amid sharp opposition from the shrimping industry, which contends the devices cut down on shrimp catches in a business with slim margins.

The device consists of a set of bars fitted into the neck of a net, together with an escape opening. When a sea turtle is caught in a net, the reptiles move back through the net as the vessel moves forward, is stopped against the bars and is ejected through the opening.

Federal regulations allow annual “incidental take allowances” of the turtles to give shrimpers some leeway.

The suit contends those allowance have been exceeded regularly.

But the lawsuit contends that MMFS is doing a poor job of enforcing regulations and has exempted some types of fishing nets from having excluders as long as shrimpers meet federal time limits for towing. The suit said those time restrictions “are difficult to properly enforce, especially with nighttime fishing, and reports indicated that the maximum time limits are often exceeded.” are still under legal review,” Thetford said. “But, because state statutes do not require public entities to follow local ordinances, the decision ultimately is the Texas Tech fire marshal’s.”

Walter James, a Tech fire marshal, said with the appropriate precautions, the event would be allowed.

“We are very sensitive to the dry weather conditions, and that is why we decided in early August not to continue with the traditional bonfire,” James said. “We have been coordinating with the City of Lubbock, and, at the time of the pep rally, a unit of the city fire department and a fire truck will be on standby.”

James said he does not anticipate any issues, but he wants to be prepared with the proper equipment in case something does go wrong.

Jon Mark Bernal, associate director of student activities, said the flaming Double T was built by the Tech Grounds Maintenance Department and will be bolted to a cement slab in order ensure safety, but weather conditions, such as a wind speeds of over 15 mph, could prevent the Double T from being lit. ➤➤sdouglas@dailytoreador.com

“It was only fitting that the baseball park be named after (Griffin). Dan Law Field will still remain. It’s almost a tradition among our names here,” Cook said. “When you talk about the facility, you say, ‘You play at the Law.’ This name addition is really to honor Rip and his family for being longtime supporters.”

Tech head coach Dan Spencer said he was also grateful for the financial support the stadium received.

“It is an honor to have our stadium named after one of our tremendous donors, Rip Griffin,” he said. “We are very grateful for our anonymous donor and to all of our private donors who made this project possible.”

Cook said the renovations to increase the facility’s capacity to 5,000 will not be added to general admissions seating, but will rather build up the suites and press area in order to modernize the building.

The renovations to the stadium will include, among other features, 200 additional club seats, 10 new suites and press booths. The construction will

cost $5 million and Tech’s Board of Regents expect the renovations to be completed by February 2012.

Blayne Beal, Tech’s associate director of media relations, said Rip Griffin has given so much to Tech athletics throughout the years.

“We’re really grateful to Rip Griffin and his family for all the support they’ve given us,” Beal said. “We’re thankful for the donations and we hope to make Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park one of the premiere facilities in the nation.”

Griffin has been a generous person in the Lubbock community for years, Blayne said. Griffin owns a fuel business, truck stops and gas stations. He also provided the Griffin Athletic Center for Lubbock Christian University in 2000.

Griffin said he is honored and humbled to be a part of the field’s history.

“It is a really good feeling,” he said.

“There have been a lot of gracious and generous people coming forward the last few months to make this work.

I’d like to say this isn’t a Rip Griffin deal at all. I just happen to be the one who gets to have his name on (the baseball park).” ➤➤mgutierrez@dailytoreador.com

By MORGAN CRUMP STAFF WRITER

The College of Mass Communications’ Career Fair took place from 1-5 p.m. yesterday at the Frazier Alumni Pavilion, providing students with the opportunity to learn about the companies in attendance.

There were 31 companies at the career fair and roughly 200 students had signed in by 4 p.m.

Karen Marley, a recruiter from Southwest Airlines, said her company is known for its corporate

culture. She said she is looking for students who can fit into that mold.

“We look for people who have a servant’s heart and a warrior’s spirit,” Marley said. “We want someone who has a fun-loving attitude, is a hard worker and is well-balanced.

We really need people who are willing to do whatever it takes to make Southwest succeed.”

Luke Stone, also a recruiter from Southwest Airlines, said he thinks it is very beneficial for students to come to the career fair.

“From our perspective, we are

able to tell students a little more about what we look for in an intern,” Stone said. “This gives them the opportunity to go back and look at their resumes and possibly go out and search for more experience that would make them more competitive for an internship.”

From a student’s perspective, the career fair is beneficial because students may hear about a company they did not know existed, Marley said.

“There are a lot of small companies that students don’t know

about,” she said, “so it really helps them see what their options are and to learn what opportunities are out there.”

The face-to-face relationships established at such events are also important for students looking to obtain a career or internship, Stone said.

“It goes back to the corporate culture we have at Southwest,” he said. “We are looking for fun-loving people, and that’s not something you can see on a resume. We get to see student’s personalities and how they communicate with people, which gives us a sense of whether they would be a good fit for our company.”

Jamie Chumbley, store manager of Target Superstores in Lubbock, said she is looking for leadership skills in potential interns and employees.

“I want someone who can tell me about a time where they led a team or took on a project to attain a goal,” Chumbley said. “It is absolutely important for students to attend career fairs because they are able to get a little bit more informed about the opportunities we have to offer so they know if it’s a job they really want to apply for.”

At career fairs, students can ask the employers any questions they may have. Chumbley said she advises students to research the companies beforehand so they know what questions they want to ask.

“Coming to a career fair also

puts a face with a resume,” she said.

“I get a chance to get to know that person ahead of time, and if they make a really good impression, I can get them an interview.”

Chumbley said face-to-face relationships absolutely have an impact on a student’s chances for an interview.

Jessica Odom, a technical writer and recruiter for CEV Multimedia, said having a face-to-face relationship was how she got her job.

“I came here last year and gave CEV my resume,” Odom said.

“Once I graduated, I got a job.”

CEV is a career and technical education company that creates educational DVDs and PowerPoints, she said.

Olivia Mitchell, an agricultural project coordinator for CEV, said they are looking for creative thinkers, people who are organized and independent workers who are willing to do something that is not necessarily related to their major.

“We remember students we have spoken with face-to-face,” Mitchell said. “If your employer establishes a relationship with you, they are going to be more likely to call you back and give you a chance.”

Ryan Looney, a senior public relations major from Dallas, attended the mass communications fair and said he thinks it is extremely important for students to attend because it is a great way to network with corporations and businesses.

“Events like this give students

the opportunity to meet a lot of contacts for the future,” Looney said. “When you’re ready to graduate or are looking for an internship, you can call these people that you’ve met and get in contact with them.”

The laid-back atmosphere of the fair gives students the freedom to walk around from table to table and learn about companies they may be interested in, Looney said.

Sophia Chappell, a junior public relations major from Cypress, said she thinks the fair was a good way to network and talk with people.

“Even if you don’t get an internship out of it, the career fair is a good way to practice talking to people,” Chappell said. “You often get to find out what questions they would ask in an interview and what they are looking for, so it’s definitely a good way to get your foot in the door.”

Chappell said she likes the nonchalant atmosphere of the event and knowing she is not obligated to talk to any company she is not interested in. Chappell also said she wishes there were more companies in attendance so the students would have more options.

“When you attend a career fair, you can’t be sure that they will remember you,” Chappell said.

“Regardless, it is good practice and a good experience overall that will help you figure out where you want to go in life.” ➤➤mcrump@dailytoreador.com

Mexico: Gulf Cartel’s accountant found shot dead MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican marines in the violent border state of Tamaulipas found the body of the alleged top accountant for the Gulf Cartel drug trafficking network, who had apparently been shot to death, the navy said Wednesday.

A statement said the marines found the body of Cesar Davila Garcia in a house Tuesday after they received a tip from a citizen. A pistol was also found near him and the marines were sending his body for investigation.

Davila had been the accountant for leading cartel figure Antonio Ezequiel Cardenas Guillen, also known as “Tony Tormenta,” who was killed by federal forces last November, the navy said. Garcia was then tapped to be a local leader of the cartel and later was made the primary accountant for the organization, it said.

I am very honored to be able to support the alumni and show my respect to those we have lost.

House votes to stop Obama’s health care law abortions WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday returned to an abortion issue that nearly sank President Barack Obama’s health care law last year with legislation that bars an insurance plan regulated under the new law from covering abortion if any of its customers receive federal subsidies.

Providers that offer abortion coverage would have to set up identical plans without abortion coverage to participate in the health insurance exchanges to be set up under the new law.

The legislation, which passed 251-172, is unlikely to be considered by the Democratic-led Senate and faces a veto threat from President Barack Obama. But it gives House Republicans, focused this year on cutting spending and reducing the size of the federal government, a chance to reaffirm their credentials on social conservative issues. Democrats chided Republicans for wasting time better spent on promoting job growth.

Supporters of the bill, including author Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa., say they are trying to close loopholes in the health care act that could lead to violations of the longstanding prohibition of the federal funding of abortion.

Opponents warn that millions of middle- and low-income women who receive partial subsidies to buy insurance would be denied abortion coverage. They said most providers were unlikely to set up two separate plans, one with abortion coverage.

The legislation also strengthens conscience protections for anti-abortion health care providers. Again there is divergence between bill supporters saying they are merely clarifying existing law and opponents saying it will lead to hospitals denying emergency care to pregnant women.

The legislation revives the debate that almost scuttled the health care act. Former Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., leading a rebellion of antiabortion Democrats, joined Pitts in pushing through an amendment that imposed tight restrictions on abortions in the proposed government-run insurance plan. When the Senate wouldn’t go along, Stupak got Obama to sign an executive order reaffirming the Hyde Amendment, a 1976 provision named after the late Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., that bans all federal funds for abortion except in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is at risk.

Burning bridges

bad in long run Andy Doughty

is just an example of this, for social networks are constantly being abused to aid in personal agendas. I know I am guilty of using them for such agendas.

Think back to the last time you were mad at someone.

Were you honest with that person, straightforwardly telling them what you were thinking?

Or did you run to Facebook or Twitter to pour out your feelings? It makes some sense to do the latter. It’s easier to get in a fight via a social network because you don’t have to face the problem head-on, but you can relieve some stress by posting a nasty status while leaving the person’s name out at the same time.

Last year, I was trapped in an apartment with three girls who completely hated me. I would come home each day to glares that nearly melted the flesh off my face. My only outlet was complaining to Facebook, and my only satisfaction was in the people on Facebook who understood my predicament.

However, I look back at this and think, “Am I a 13-year-old girl in junior high?” At some point, we have to grow up and stop doing immature things in electronic ink. There is a delete button, but if what you post is scandalous enough, it will spread to outlets that just may run with juicy stories. I have burned a few bridges over the years, and when I needed to cross back over them, they were no longer an option.

More of these bridges have been burned via Facebook than I care to admit, but I have definitely learned from them.

Here’s what I think. The following well-worn rule has never proved more prudent than now: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me.” That should preferably be in person, not via Facebook.  Doughty is a junior English major from Nederland. ➤➤ adoughty@dailytoreador.com

President Obama breaks another campaign pledge

By WASHINGTON SQUARE NEWS EDITORIAL BOARD WASHINGTON SQUARE NEWS (NEW YORK U.)

In 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama pledged to install the first-ever pollution limits on smog, widely regarded as a contributor to global warming and health risks. Three years later, now-President Obama has struck down the Environmental Protection Agency’s smog limits, which were once his own proposals.

Environmental groups, along with his already disenchanted liberal base, are not so happy, and five of them — including the American Lung Association — are suing his administration for illegally injuring the American people.

The proposed pollution limits would have brought down ozone exposure from 75 to 70 parts per billion. According to the EPA, this seemingly small decrease would have cost around $19 to $25 billion, which is a hefty cost for a government scrambling to find money.

However, the agency also calculated that the monetary value of the health benefits would have been as high as $37 billion, more than making up for the costs of the regulations.

President Obama’s reasoning for his action was that it was not a smart move

in this economy, politically or economically and that he would reconsider the proposal after further yet necessary scientific studies in 2013. Beside the fact that he may not be president at this time, it seems that we are once again faced with a flip-flop from the commander-in-chief who ran on a green platform.

Environmental jobs are a key to the future trajectory of our economy; it is a whole new sector that can unleash an enormous number of opportunities.

We have to make sacrifices to build a sustainable 21st-century economy and, if we have to suffer high costs on the wealthy’s account in the short-term, so be it. It is the long-term we must be looking at.

We have seen negligence from the administration on Keystone XL — the enormous and volatile pipeline running from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico — and this is yet another item to throw on the list of environmental gaffes courtesy of the Obama administration. This is a logical, common sense proposal by the EPA that saves peoples’ lungs and lives, yet somehow the clench of this anti-anything-regulatory stigma that is floating around the Hill is shutting down the hope that this administration seems to be running low on.

Financial discipline: save now, spend later

DAILY NEBRASKAN (U. NEBRASKA)

“You might be a college student if…caffeine has replaced vegetables in the four food groups… if most people are waking up when you go to sleep…if you can nap during the time it takes a professor to take a breath…and if you spend more money on books than on clothes, food and shelter combined.”

If one thing’s true, it’s that college students don’t live a fabulous lifestyle. Balanced meals and sleep are always in short supply, but it’s a lack of money that really defines college life.

The thing is, if a student does happen to come across an extra $10, it’s sure to be spent. And it’s not always spent on the smartest things. No, I’m not trying to say money should only go toward things that students need, but some purchases just make less sense than others. Lattes, parking tickets, have-to-have new shoes to go with must-have new clothes and brand new textbooks are all things we don’t have to spend money on.

But we still do.

The smartest thing would be

EDITORIAL BOARD

I

t’s Friday and temperaments continue to boil over the “vandalism” controversy. Stories have been written defending our school’s honor, message boards are littered with people unconstructively bantering back and forth and everyone is officially “over” Texas A&M. Yet again, A&M has brought strife to the Big 12 Conference and are burning nearly every bridge they have in their own state. I am not going to rehash the details of the events that occurred because they don’t matter. What matters is how the situation was handled.

No matter what happened last Saturday, I would never expect an educated, experienced and honorable professional to turn to Twitter to unleash his feelings. Bill Byrne is a university administrator and he should hold his position as A&M’s athletic director with honor and integrity.

I can fully respect his feelings of being disappointed in someone for vandalizing his team’s buses, but to flock to Twitter to put the blame on a university and community is equivalent to the events of the Salem witchhunts. In the past, our street credit with other universities has not always been perfect, but I think a lot of students have worked on retaining our school’s honor, which should be acknowledged.

On many message boards, I have seen A&M’s faithful defending the school’s director, and I think I would do the same for my school. But, no matter what, Byrne shouldn’t have hastily made accusations on a social networking site. I will not bash A&M, though, and I fully understand his feelings of resentment.

However, I think the proper course of action for Byrne would have been to file a police report, make an official statement on his athletics website and schedule a meeting with Texas Tech administrators to pursue further action. Instead, everything we have strived to achieve in the past couple of years flew out the window with his flippant remarks.

In to day’s world, rumors spread quickly and the grapevine has become so intertwined with social networks that one small comment can be crippling to a person or a mass of people. Byrne

to save or invest our money. But spending money is much more fun than saving. I know this.

I’m a girl who loves to buy new things and participate in a little retail therapy. I’ve even enjoyed a latte or two of my own if I have extra cash.

Until recently, I didn’t think too much about these occasional purchases. What really changed my mind about them was a recent workshop. The workshop, called “Think Like a Millionaire,” showed all the ways millionaires save money. One was cutting back on the little things we spend money on now, in order to save for later. For many students, this is quite an unfamiliar idea.

Here’s an example. Say that Sarah Student buys a latte every morning on her way to class. With a tip to the barista, this is about $4, totalling $20 each week of the school year. We’ll say this is $80 a month for nine months of the year.

This $720 doesn’t seem like the craziest amount, especially considering caffeine is the only thing getting her through those morning classes. But what if she’d saved this money instead?

If Sarah had saved it each year

and had it compounded annually at eight percent, she could have saved more than $3,000 at the end of four years. Then, if she saved that amount for another 30 years without adding anything, she would have more than $32,000 at the end. This is how you think like a millionaire. You weigh the costs between now and the future. Should she pay the $4 every morning? Or should she focus on the $32,000 that she could have down the road?

Who would have thought a latte could be so expensive?

This is one way for a college student to save. Getting rid of costly habits is always a smart thing to do. But besides this, it’s really all about thinking about our purchases.

Parking tickets are something else I don’t understand. It takes less than a dollar to park at a meter on campus for over an hour. So why not pay? A dollar is much cheaper than that parking ticket you’ll surely get if you don’t. Plus, think how many hours of parking the change from that parking ticket would get you. And if you keep your spare quarters in a jar, you’ll never not have the change when Copyright © 2011 Texas Tech University Student Media/The Daily Toreador.

you really need it.

The next thing I see students spending their money on, for no reason at all, is new textbooks.

Each semester, there’s always that exciting moment when you find out just how many textbooks you’ll need – and how much they cost. I’ll never understand how a textbook can cost more than $200, but they do. So why buy it new?

Unless you really love the sound a new textbook makes when you first open it and the feel of shiny plastic wrap, you should buy used. I’ve saved more than $500 each semester that I’ve done this, and besides the occasional highlighter marks, which sometimes come in handy, I can’t even tell the difference.

Now imagine that I’d saved this $1,000 each year for four years at eight percent, compounded annually (just like Sarah Student).

This totals more than $4,500.

And if the $4,500 is saved once for 30 years in the same way, I’ll have $45,000.

That’s a lot of textbooks and lattes – or a great new car. No matter what, I think I’d rather have that amount of money in the future than the brand new textbooks now.

One-man band entertains

Liz Claiborne to sell several brands, change name NEW YORK (AP) — Talk about a fashion makeover.

Financially struggling Liz Claiborne Inc. said Wednesday that it is selling its namesake brand and several others to concentrate on its Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand and kate spade fashion plates, which appeal to well-heeled shoppers. The company, which hasn’t had an annual profit since 2006, said it will change its name to reflect that emphasis.

Liz Claiborne is the latest company to adjust its business as the U.S. consumer market bifurcates into the high and low

ends, essentially squeezing out the middle. Companies ranging from Procter & Gamble to Wendy’s are doing everything from tweaking their product mix to changing the way they advertise and display their goods in order to appeal to American consumers on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Liz Claiborne hopes that a more high-end focus will help it turn around its business, where annual revenue has been cut in half from 2006 through last year.

Lucky Brand jeans mostly sell for $99 or more, for instance, and kate spade handbags typically start at over than $100.

Preston Pugmire takes the stage to perfor with his guitar, a microphone and an effects pedal.

He uses the effects pedal to record himself live and loop it in a way where he plays every part of his music.

Pugmire attributes the creation of his one-man band to the other groups he has been a part of that were disassembled for one reason or another.

“Being in a band, it was hard to tour and stuff like that,” Pugmire said “So people went to school and got married or whatever, things just kept happening and the bands just ran their course. ” He still had his passion for music however, which led to Pugmire incorporating the electronic effects pedals.

The effects pedal allows Pugmire to, in a way, be his own band. He is able to play two different guitar parts, make his own beats and create harmonies all through the function of the pedal.

Preston said he got the idea from a musician named Howie Day. “I saw a video of Howie Day where he was doing what’s called ‘looping’ where he was using the effects pedal to record himself live and then loop it with layer and layer so that he’s playing all of the parts,” he said.

“It blew my mind.”

BlackBerrys buzz back to life after long outage NEW YORK (AP) — BlackBerrys across the world buzzed back to life Thursday, leaving customers outraged and threatening to cost the granddaddy of all smartphones more business when it’s already struggling to keep up in a crowded marketplace.

The three-day blackout interrupted email and Internet services for tens of millions of frustrated users and inflicted more damage on an already tarnished brand.

“I’ve been a pretty big BlackBerry advocate,” said Kate Jacobson, a student at Michigan State University. “But I’m done playing these games with you, BlackBerry.”

After using a BlackBerry for three years, she said the outage was the “last straw.” On Thursday, she got an iPhone.

Her unhappiness was shared by users across several continents.

BlackBerrys in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa had been without email or chat messages since Monday.

In the U.S. and Canada, the outage was shorter, starting Wednesday.

But many, perhaps most, of the world’s 70 million BlackBerry users were affected.

“When I woke up in the morning and had zero emails, I was like, ‘That’s impossible,’” Jacobson said.

She had already endured problems with her BlackBerry Curve turning off at the wrong moments. It didn’t play videos well, either.

Research In Motion Ltd., which makes the phones and handles email traffic to them, said the system was steadily processing a vast backlog of stalled messages.

The company’s two CEOs apologized profusely. It was a break from the past, when outages of BlackBerry service merited only terse statements from the company.

Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie said they had not made plans yet to compensate customers, but they were turning their attention to that question.

“Our priority right up until this moment (has been) making sure the system’s up and running,” Balsillie said. “We’re going to fully commit to win that trust back.”

It will take more than an apology to win back some Blackberry

users. But RIM’s latest fiasco is unlikely to result in a mass exodus of its corporate and government clients.

BlackBerrys, like other imperfect business technologies, are deeply entrenched in commercial settings, and getting rid of them represents time and money that companies may be reluctant to give up.

Indeed, RIM may experience a slower, more subtle migration from its smartphone. Two types of people have kept the BlackBerry from sinking further into the oblivion of once-iconic but forgotten gadgets: corporate IT managers and aspiring young people in developing countries like India. Countries outside North America account for 54 percent of RIM’s revenue.

PRESTON PUGMIRE, AN acoustic artist from Sacramento, Calif., performs original songs to students walking through the Student Union Building Courtyard on Thursday.

He feels this equipment allows him to be more creative, but still wants the focus to remain in his melodies.

“It’s so versatile, it allows me to do a lot of different things and that’s how I get my music to people,” he said. “But I want to make sure the melody remains the focus, and the pedals are a medium of getting the music to people.”

Pugmire said his love for

music and inspiration for becoming a musician came from a Radiohead song.

“I love playing music,” he said. “When I was a kid I saw a music video for Radiohead’s ‘Just’ and it absolutely re-wired my brain. I was so taken by it and I knew I could never do anything besides music.”

Pugmire continued on to share his plans about his performance at Texas Tech.

“My goal is to let people feel my passion through music and just let them feel good about themselves, hopefully through the power of music.”

Pugmire is currently on a college tour visiting many universities all across the nation.

“I’m on a university tour, in 2011, I’m doing 140 colleges,” he said. “We’re doing like 25 states. It’s going to be epic.” ➤➤mdupont@dailytoreador.com

The Texas Tech volleyball team will look to bounce back at Missouri on Saturday after losing in straight sets to No. 10 Texas on Wednesday night.

The sweep was the third straight against the Red Raiders, pushing their Big 12 Conference record to 0-5 for the season.

Tech coach Don Flora said the Longhorns’ strong offensive hits caused trouble for the Red Raiders.

“The good arms of Texas hurt us,” he said. “We out-blocked them. We did a really good job blocking actually, but they got a ton of kills. They are a first-ball swinging team.”

The Red Raiders were kept to a season-low 24 kills in the match, while senior hitter Amanda Dowdy put down 12 kills on her own.

Tech was not able to attack as well offensively because of the size of the Longhorns’ blockers, Flora said.

As the Texas Tech cross-country season reaches its halfway point, head coach Jon Murray said this weekend’s meet will be a chance for his team to go up against great competition before the Big 12 Conference’s championships at the end of the month.

“We really like this course,” Murray said. “This meet gives us a good opportunity to gauge our team’s fitness ability, based on the times we’ve seen from them in the past.”

Murray’s team will be traveling to Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the Chili Pepper Cross Country Festival this Saturday.

Among the teams Tech will compete against are Baylor, Oklahoma, Louisiana State, North Texas, Oklahoma State, Oral Roberts, Texas Christian and Texas.

Payton Northrup, a freshman runner for Tech, said he is expecting his team to run much better this week than it has in previous meets.

Tigers stay alive in ALCS, beat Texas 7-5 DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander helped save Detroit’s season with a gutsy effort and the Tigers hit for a sudden cycle to break away from Texas in a 7-5 victory Thursday that cut the Rangers’ lead to 3-2 in the AL championship series.

Delmon Young hit two of Detroit’s four homers and Miguel Cabrera had a tiebreaking double in the sixth inning — thanks to a bizarre bounce off third base.

After building a five-run cushion, the Tigers held off Texas despite

Nelson Cruz’s record fifth home run of the series.

With closer Jose Valverde unavailable for Detroit, the Rangers cut it to 7-5 in the ninth and had Cruz on deck when Phil Coke retired Mike Napoli on a game-ending groundout with two runners on.

Coke got five outs for his first career postseason save.

The Rangers get another chance to reach the World Series for the second straight season in Game 6 Saturday night at home. Derek

A swift turn of events in the sixth helped Detroit pull ahead.

The Tigers turned a bases-loaded double play to keep the score tied at 2, then opened the bottom half with a single, double, triple and homer — in order — to take a 6-2 lead.

It was the first time four consecutive batters on one team hit for a “natural” cycle in a postseason game, according to STATS LLC.

OCT. 14, 2011

Texas DBs overwhelmed by OU, No. 6 Cowboys up next AUSTIN (AP) — When the Oklahoma Sooners were zooming into the end zone in a Red River rout of Texas, no group of Longhorns looked more befuddled than the youngsters in the secondary.

The Sooners rolled up 300 yards passing and a 34-10 lead by halftime against a group that struggled to cover or tackle.

And guess who No. 22 Texas (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) faces on Saturday? Sixthranked Oklahoma State (5-0, 2-0) and a high-powered offense that averages 51 points behind quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackmon.

First-year Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz says he hasn’t seen any weaknesses in Blackmon’s game.

“Dance? Cook? Knitting? I haven’t seen it, not on the film they sent us.

He does everything pretty well from what I’ve seen,” Diaz said.

Last week, Texas sophomore quarterback Carrington Byndom was trying to keep up with Oklahoma’s Ryan Broyles and Kenny Stills. Now comes Blackmon, who over the last 17 games has caught 157 passes for 2,316 yards and 26 touchdowns.

‘I mean, that’s my job,” Byndom said. “I’m a corner, and so I have to face some of the greatest receivers in college football. You look forward to it.”

Probably so, but it hardly seems fair to have to do it in back-to-back weeks after the Sooners repeatedly attacked the Texas secondary for big plays: — The first play of the game was a 40-yard catch and run by Broyles.

—Oklahoma converted a thirdand-25 on its second touchdown drive with a 30-yard completion.

—After Texas cut the lead to 2710 in the second quarter, Oklahoma used four completions to drive 83 yards for a TD. The two-deep rotation at cornerback for Texas is all freshmen and sophomores. None has more than five career starts. At safety, the Longhorns have junior Kenny Vaccaro (11 starts) and senior Blake Gideon (44 starts).

Gideon said he’s not worried about the confidence of the younger players.

“They knew from the start what

they were signing up for at Texas,” Gideon said. “You have to have a short memory.”

Gideon calls coverages from his position and has seen just about everything in four seasons as a starter, but he struggles in matchups with top athletes like Broyles and Blackmon. He suggested the Longhorns sometimes got confused against the quick-snap Sooners’ offense and knows they will likely see some of the same this week against the Cowboys.

“That’s the first thing, have the correct alignment. Have the correct call and have everybody on the same page,” Gideon said. “Other than that, we need to tackle well.

We felt like we let too many slip through our hands.”

Blackmon can be hard to bring down.

At 6-foot-1, 215 pounds, he’s two inches taller and 20 pounds heavier than Texas’ corners and is one of the best deep threats in the country. He had 145 yards and a 67yard touchdown against the Longhorns in a 33-16 Oklahoma State victory last season. The touchdown came against cornerback Aaron Williams, a second-round draft pick by the Buffalo Bills.

“He’s as good as I’ve ever seen because he’s so physical,” Texas coach Mack Brown said of Blackmon. “Last year, Aaron plays the fade as well as it can be played and he reaches above him and catches the ball with his big strong hands and just runs off and leaves him.”

Texas could help its young secondary by getting more pressure on the quarterback. The Longhorns have just six sacks this season and will be facing a mature quarterback -- Weeden turns 28 this week -- who owns six of Oklahoma State’s top 10 passing game records.

Diaz remains committed to his young players, and says the talent is there even if the experience isn’t yet.

“There’s nothing that we’ve seen on film right now of any of our players that says, ‘Oh no, that guy, he’s at sea and we’ve got to throw the life vest at him,’” Diaz said.

At 5-0, Snyder’s 17th-ranked Wildcats enter the week as one of the three remaining undefeated teams in the Big 12 Conference.

And there’s nothing flashy about the way Kansas State is winning.

“They don’t have any star players.

They don’t want any star players,” Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said during Monday’s media luncheon.

“Coach Snyder has done probably the best job of coaching in college football since he’s been in coaching since he’s been at Kansas State, if you take both eras (into account).”

In 21 seasons — in two stints — as head coach of the Wildcats, Snyder has experienced a total of two losing seasons.

Kansas State went winless in 27 consecutive games leading up to the hiring of Snyder in 1989, but then won 13 games combined in Snyder’s first three seasons, rapidly starting the process of erasing the losing culture.

For Snyder and the Wildcats, this season has been at the center of noth-

SPORTS ing but a winning culture.

Tech (4-1, 0-1 in Big 12 play) gets the opportunity to deal Kansas State its first loss of the season when the two teams meet at 6 p.m. Saturday in Jones AT&T Stadium.

Additionally, Saturday is Tech’s Homecoming game, something Kansas State is used to being the guest at.

In 2009, the Wildcats traveled to Lubbock for the Red Raiders’ Homecoming game, but only to suffer through a 66-14 loss fueled by seven touchdowns from former Tech quarterback Steven Sheffield.

Kansas State has not won a road game against Tech since a 13-2 decision in 1997, which also is the Wildcats’ only win in Lubbock.

Scoring 66 points against this Kansas State defense will not be a simple task for the Red Raiders this time around.

Tech encounters a defensive unit that enters this week as the Big 12’s best, limiting opponents to less than 300 yards of total offense.

Tuberville said the Wildcats’ roster does not feature any superstars, but rather players that play within their limitations and have excelled.

“They’re technique-oriented,” Tuberville said. “The players play hard.

(Snyder) has convinced them that they’re good, and they are. It’s a team sport.”

Without Eric Stephens in the backfield, gaining more than 100 yards on Kansas State’s defense could be a daunting task for Tech.

Stephens, out for the season with a dislocated left knee, is the nation’s 15thleading rusher, averaging 114 rushing yards per contest.

Aaron Crawford will now have his opportunity to effectively fill the void left by Stephens. True freshmen DeAndre Washington and Kenny Williams will be mixed in as well.

“Now, as Aaron knows, the ball’s in his court,” Tuberville said. “And there will be three of them back there. We’ll see what they can do.” ➤➤jrodriguez@dailytoreador.com

Los Angeles Times Daily Crossword Puzzle

Scandrick, Cowboys ready for NFL’s top WR Welker IRVING (AP) — Orlando Scandrick spent part of his bye weekend getting to know Wes Welker.

On the flights to and from Los Angeles last week, the Cowboys cornerback studied game film of Welker.

Even while visiting friends and family, Scandrick carved out time to try understanding how New England’s little receiver keeps making such big plays — and trying to figure out how he can prevent them when Dallas plays Welker and the Patriots on Sunday.

“It’s a huge challenge,” Scandrick said. “He does everything 100 percent, full speed. He works.”

Many Cowboys fans have known about Welker since his days at Texas Tech, when he was an undersized guy making big plays in Mike Leach’s

wacky offense. Few folks figured that would translate to the NFL, yet the hardworking Welker seems to get better every year.

This season, his eighth, Welker is putting together what could become among the greatest seasons by a receiver in NFL history.

Welker has an NFL-best 45 catches for an NFL-best 740 yards through five games. He’s on pace for 144 catches and 2,368 yards; the league records are 143 catches (by Marvin Harrison in 2002) and 1,848 yards (by Jerry Rice in 1995).

“I just think he’s a remarkable football player,” said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, who was the quarterbacks coach in Miami when Welker played there. “You should watch Wes Welker in practice. I think if you came

from Mars and never saw football before, you’d say, ‘Wow! Who is that guy?’ Because he is 100 miles an hour every minute of every day. His success is not by accident. ... He is a relentless competitor. Maybe as much as anybody I’ve been around, he’s able to take that tempo and how he practices to the game field.”

The Cowboys saw what kind of pest Welker can be when these teams last met, in 2007. Welker caught 11 passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns as New England steamrolled Dallas 48-27.

Welker’s work ethic, attitude and ability obviously is appreciated by Tom Brady. The chemistry they’ve developed over their five seasons together is another factor in their remarkable

start this season. Brady, too, is on pace to shatter all sorts of passing records.

“They know what each other is going to do,” Scandrick said.

Garrett played in Dallas when Troy Aikman had that type of connection with Michael Irvin and Jay Novacek, and he’s seen it develop again with Tony Romo and Jason Witten.

“I think it’s a security blanket for the quarterback, knowing that whatever situation happens, somehow I can find that guy and he’s going to get me out of Dodge,” Garrett said. “I think you see that on a weekly basis up there in New England.”

So, how can the Cowboys prepare for it? Garrett said it gets back to the same plan the defense has every week, only it’s more difficult.
