By Daniel Hill Sports Writer The Baylor football team is at a pivotal moment in its season. A three game…
The Indiana Fever made it their mission to get Tamika Catchings a WNBA championship.
Catchings had won three Olympic gold medals and an NCAA championship at Tennessee in 1998, but never one in the WNBA.
She scored 25 points to help the Indiana Fever win their first WNBA title with an 87-78 victory over the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday night.
The No. 20 Baylor women’s soccer team certainly found a flair for the dramatic over the weekend after two nail-biting victories over conference foes Texas and Iowa State.
Friday’s victory over the Texas Longhorns came in double overtime, but not after some late-game drama. Senior forward Dana Larsen scored what appeared to be a game-winning goal in the 80th minute of the game.
Larsen fired a shot from about 30 yards away. The ball landed in front of Longhorn freshman goalkeeper Abby Smith. It appeared as though Smith would make a routine save, but the ball took an odd bounce and went over Smith’s head and into the goal.
Layne Lynch, the only returning Uproar Artist from the 2011-2012 school year, is determined to hit the ground running this year.
“I was really shocked and also just really grateful,” Lynch said. “I felt really cool and really honored. I want to do this with my life, so I was really excited to be certain that I could use this year to focus to the best of my abilities on music.”
Lynch is unsure of what exactly would classify her genre.
Few Baylor students have frequented the family-owned café in Hewitt, The Mix Gifts and Café, but a new expansion that includes a coffee shop and food truck on Speight will be hard to miss.
The food truck, Street Eats, is currently open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday on the corner of Speight and 14th Street, and will continue the tradition of the Hewitt café’s famous French style quiches, sandwiches, soups and homemade desserts.
National Geographic Society has chronicled scientific expeditions, explorations, archaeology, wildlife and world cultures for more than 100 years, amassing a collection of 11.5 million photos and original illustrations.
A small selection of that massive archive — 240 pieces spanning from the late 1800s to the present — will be sold at Christie’s in December at an auction expected to bring about $3 million, the first time any of the institution’s collection has been sold.
You don’t have to be a math major to realize the impact of these numbers.
According to The Alumni Factor, an organization that ranks universities based on alumni success and input, Baylor alumni rank as the ninth most conservative in the nation among colleges.
The Alumni Factor is also the name of the organization’s new book and website.
A 20-year-old black woman told police she was set on fire by three men who wrote the initials KKK and a racial slur on her car in northeastern Louisiana.
Louisiana State Police spokeswoman Lt. Julie Lewis says Sharmeka Moffitt was found with burns on more than half of her body when police responded to her 911 call Sunday night.
Moffitt was in critical condition Monday at a hospital. Lewis said the FBI is investigating the attack as a possible hate crime, but that no arrests had been made as of late Monday.

The only reason we drink bottled water now is this: We’re college students.
We don’t have clean cups to drink from.
But thanks to the City of Waco, if we were ever to wash our dishes (not likely), we could drink safe, clean, taste- and smell-free tap water.
Both Baylor and Texas came into Saturday night’s game in a minor state of panic. Both teams started the year strong, but each has lost its last two games. 106 points and 1,132 points later, the Bears fell to the Longhorns 50-56.
Associated Press SAN MARCOS — Texas State University on Thursday became the latest in a string of universities across the…

The Common Grounds / Taqueria El Crucero taco truck was closed down last Thursday, although Common Grounds owner Blake Baston said the truck is currently looking for a new location to reopen.

Baylor’s 1909 celebration was likely the first collegiate homecoming event in the United States a distinction that has earned Baylor a spot in an upcoming Smithsonian exhibit.
The exhibit, called “Hometown Teams,” is part of a series of traveling exhibits called “Museum on Main Street,” which will tour small towns across the U.S. from 2014 – 2021.
Residents of Baylor’s campus should shower early Friday if they want hot water.

The outage will affect domestic hot water and building heat during the installation but will not affect all of campus. Buildings include the Bill Daniel Student Center, Neill Morris Hall, Collins Residence Hall, Mary Gibbs-Jones Family and Consumer Sciences Building, the former AFROTC building, Kokernot Residence Hall, Brooks College and Martin Residence Hall.
A Bangladeshi man who came to the United States to wage jihad was arrested in an elaborate FBI sting on Wednesday after attempting to blow up a fake car bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan, authorities said.
Oil has long lived in harmony with farmland and cattle across the Texas landscape, a symbiosis nurtured by generations and built on an unspoken honor code that allowed agriculture to thrive while oil was extracted.
Proud Texans have long welcomed the industry because of the cash it brings to sustain agriculture, but also see its presence as part of their patriotic duty to help wean the United States off “foreign” oil. So the answer to companies that wanted to build pipelines has usually been simple: Yes.
Iowa State at Oklahoma State
This matchup comes down to offense versus defense. Iowa State’s defense has been spectacular so far this season, and Oklahoma State’s spread offense always seems to put up points. OSU quarterback J.W. Walsh is questionable for the game, and head coach Mike Gundy has been keeping Walsh’s health under wraps. The Cowboys should be fine whether Walsh or Wes Lunt are handling the quarterback duties. For the Cyclones, Jared Barnett has proven to be a winner. This should be a tightly contested game with an interesting contrast of styles between the two teams. Iowa State defense should top Oklahoma State’s offense.
The Derivatives, chosen for representation by Uproar Records this year, will blow up the stage with their unique full band atmosphere.

Vitek’s Bar-B-Q is a family-owned restaurant and has been a Waco favorite since 1915. The location, quality, service and prices have been known to attract Baylor students and locals for decades.
Located on 1600 Speight Ave., the menu ranges from $3 to $11 at most.
Hot flashes can be dealt with in a “cool” way.
The Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory at Baylor and its national associates are researching how to use hypnotherapy and “cool” mental imagery to treat menopausal women who are experiencing hot flashes.
Dr. Gary Elkins, professor of psychology and director of the Doctor of Psychology graduate program at Baylor, said by focusing on a mnemonic mental image associated with cooler temperatures, on average, women were able to reduce their hot flashes by approximately 70 percent.
Baylor’s School of Social Work Texas Hunger Initiative partnered with the United States Department of Agriculture, hosting 200 attendees during the first day of Together at the Table: Southwest Regional Hunger Summit to raise awareness in the community. The summit continues through today on the second floor of the Bill Daniel Student Center.
The Lariat sat down with Dr. Sergiy Kudelia, assistant professor of political science, on Tuesday to provide some insight on how the two presidential candidates will implement American foreign policy and act in international relations. Dr. Kudelia teaches two classes specializing in politics in Russia and social movements in non-democratic regimes. He is a member of the Program on New Approaches to Research and Security in Eurasia (PONARS), which is a global network of social scientists who conduct policy relevant research on the former Soviet Union.
