The No. 15 Baylor Bears survived a scare from the Kansas State Wildcats to win 35-25 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. on Saturday.
The win marks the first time the Bears have ever won a game at Kansas State.
Playing its first road game of the year, Baylor started out the game with 12-play, 59-yard scoring drive where the Bears held the ball for the first 4:27 seconds of the game. Junior quarterback Bryce Petty finished off the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run.
Baylor soccer’s 12-match road unbeaten streak came to a close with a 2-1 loss to Texas on Friday at Mike A. Myers Field, as the Bears were unable to overcome two quick second half goals from the Longhorns.
Baylor started strong in the first half outshooting Texas 5-4 and holding a 4-0 edge in shots on goal, but Texas came out attacking in the second half.
West Fertilizer Co., the West plant where an explosion took place in April leaving 15 people dead and more than 100 homes destroyed, was fined $118,300 by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for 24 safety violations, said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
OSHA had not inspected the plant in more than 30 years. The findings of their latest investigation, according to Boxer, were failure to have an emergency response plan, unsafe handling and storage of anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate, inadequate labeling of storage tanks, failing to pressure test replacement hoses and not having respiratory protection or appropriate fire extinguishers.

Three Baylor entrepreneurs have decided to change the way college students study. Adanote.com, created by three Baylor students, is an online collaborative platform that allows students to upload, share and study notes together online in a unique, social interface.
Baylor students can log on, create an account for free. They can find other students taking the same classes as them and view notes created by them online.
The website is using Baylor for its beta testing, but the goal of the website is to be available for all universities.
The United States on Wednesday cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to its Mideast ally Egypt, responding to the military ouster last summer of the nation’s first democratically elected president and the crackdown on protesters that has sunk the country into violent turmoil.
While the State Department did not provide a dollar amount of what was being withheld, most of it is linked to military aid. In all, the U.S. provides $1.5 billion in aid each year to Egypt.
Obsessive compulsive disorder individuals can’t just stop being OCD.
Obsessive compulsive disorder-suffering individuals have told Dr. Thomas Fergus, assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor, that people tell them to simply stop performing their compulsions. Fergus said it’s not that easy.
The winners of the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics owe thanks to faculty and students from Baylor’s department of physics for helping confirm the existence of the elusive Higgs boson particle.
The prize was awarded to Dr. Peter Higgs and Dr. Francois Englert, the two scientists who theorized the existence of the particle back in the 1960s and spearheaded the push for its discovery in July of last year, according to the Nobel Prize’s website.
After thrashing West Virginia in the first Big 12 conference game, No. 15 Baylor football looks to continue its incredible offensive start in the first road game of the season at Kansas State. The Bears have never won in Manhattan, but Baylor looks to turn that streak around.
Baylor is coming off a dominant win against West Virginia, where the Bears set an all-time Big 12 record with 864 total yards, and dropped 70 points or more for the third straight game, the first time an offense has scored 70 or more points three straight times since 1930.
Baylor was dominant in its Big 12 opener, setting a conference record for total offense with 864 yards. The number was the most by an FBS team in the last decade. The Bears scored the most points against West Virginia since 1904. Baylor became the first team since 1930 to score 70 or more points in three straight games. This was all against a team that beat No. 11 Oklahoma State convincingly the week before.
Despite the convincing win, Baylor moved up only two spots in the AP rankings, from No. 17 to No. 15.
For the past four games Baylor football has dominated it’s opponents at Floyd Casey Stadium ranking them at number four in the Big 12 conference. This weekend the team travels for the first time this season. Saturday at 2:30 p.m. the Bears will take on Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan.
“First time for us traveling and everybody’s jacked up and ready to zero in and come out with a W,” senior cornerback K.J. Morton said.
No. 23 Baylor’s road to success will not be easy as it goes up against two Big 12 powerhouses beginning with a tough road test against Texas at 7 p.m. Friday before coming back home for a showdown against No. 15 Texas Tech at 1 p.m. Sunday at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field.
“When you get to conference every team is really good,” senior defender Selby Polley said. “In Texas they have a lot of height, so it will be a good challenge in the air for us. Sunday with Tech it’s just always a battle. They’re probably one of our rivals in conference and it’s always really competitive when we play against them.”
(Spoiler alert: This story contains no actual TV spoilers.)
I would really like to talk to you about TV spoilers today, but first I need to know: Did you see the series finale of “Breaking Bad?” Are you caught up on “Game of Thrones?” You know who died on that one amazing episode of “The Wire” toward the end of Season Three, right?
Maybe we shouldn’t have that discussion. I don’t want to ruin anything for you.
After starting conference play with three straight losses, Baylor volleyball went on the road to win its first Big 12 conference game against West Virginia in straight sets. With the win, Baylor moves to 9-11 on the season and 1-3 in Big 12 play.

Waco Independent School District counts homelessness like no other.
Last spring, the district became the first in the state to use a federally endorsed confidential information system to collect and pool information about students who are referred to social services.
The Homeless Management Information System, also known as Bowman System’s Service Point Software, was mandated by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to correlate HUD funding to a more precise, statistical idea of who it actually helps, said Katie Fager, Waco HMIS program analyst.
In its present form, the Affordable Care Act provides every American with health care, which will benefit the country in the long run. Unfortunately, the cost associated with this might drive away both current and future doctors.
With the government currently shut down and the debt ceiling looming, the immediate future of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is in question. The act has been passed and is the law of the land, but this law needs to be amended. The United States needs affordable universal coverage, but it has to figure out a way to do this without making doctors suffer.
The editorial on Oct. 8, titled “Abortion bill good for Texas women,” is vastly misinformed and highlights only one side of a complex argument.
I would like to see the research that supports any one of these claims.
The reality of this bill is that it is some of the most restrictive legislation to be passed, and puts women in more danger than before.
The attorney for Bryce Ashley Reed, a former West paramedic who was charged in May for illegal firearm possession, filed for an extension in the plea bargaining deadline, according to an operations clerk at the United States District Courts office in Waco.
Reed, who is out on bail, has a current trial date scheduled for Oct. 15 but Oct. 10 is the final date for Reed and his attorney to enter a plea deal for federal prosecutors to consider.
Of the 1,800 Baylor Alumni Association members who responded to a survey sent to BAA members last Friday, 50 percent said they are in favor of reorganizing the BAA.

The survey outlined three options for the BAA in terms of their next steps. Members were asked to indicate which option they preferred.
