By Bree Fowler Associated Press NEW YORK — The hackers behind the recent Target data breach are likely a world away and nearly impossible to find. That’s the consensus among outside cybercrime experts as Target, the Secret Service and the FBI continue their investigation of the pre-Christmas data heist in which hackers stole about 40 million debit and credit card numbers and also took personal information — including email addresses, phone numbers, names and home addresses — for another 70 million people. In the aftermath of the breach, millions of Americans have been left to wonder what has become of…
Baylor started its 2013-14 campaign as one of the best teams in college basketball. Despite playing a difficult non-conference schedule that included four teams that were ranked at some point in non-conference play, Baylor emerged with a sturdy record of 12-1, including a convincing win over No. 3 Kentucky. Baylor’s only loss was to Syracuse, who is now the No. 2 team in the nation.
By Jeffrey Swindoll Sports Writer The No. 12 Baylor Lady Bears snapped their two-game losing streak after handily defeating Kansas State 71-48 on Wednesday night at the Ferrell Center. The Lady Bears (15-3, 5-1) started the first half with intensity and the Kansas State Wildcats (8-10, 2-5) struggled to respond convincingly for the first few minutes. Senior guard Mackenzie Robertson scored a three-pointer to open the game, and scored another in Baylor’s next offensive possession, giving the Lady Bears early momentum. “It helps us get our intensity up,” senior point guard Odyssey Sims said. “We’re already excited to play, but…

By Paula Ann Solis Staff Writer She walked Baylor’s campus during the tumultuous civil rights era and made history in 1967 as the first African-American woman to graduate from a once whites-only college. But before she did all of this, Barbara Walker was like everyone else in her Red Bird, Okla., town, working in the fields since she was 10 for 50 cents a day and fighting to contradict the expectation that she would never be more than a laborer for white farmers. More than 50 years after forging the way for African-American women at Baylor, Walker is now a…
By Paula Ann Solis Staff Writer This Baylor team is making a name for themselves by taking down serious rivals in Texas and has risen to the top in recent competitions – and no, it’s not the football team. This team wields swords, not pigskin, and wears facemasks instead of helmets. Baylor’s fencing team may not be the most well-known club on campus but now, after a string of triumphs, they are walking a little taller and keeping the fencing community en garde. In the spring and fall of 2013, Baylor’s fencing club won first-place honors at two Southwest Intercollegiate…
Five-year-olds know how to take “selfies,” surf the Internet and download apps. In the technologically advanced world we live in, kids are allowed and almost expected to know how to work an iPhone or iPad. The Midway Independent School District has put this progressive education concept to use in an scholastic setting by putting more than 6,800 iPads in the hands of kindergarten through 12th-grade students. While, in theory, Midway is making a bold move in hopes of providing its students with the most advanced education possible, in reality, it seems like bad practice. The iPad purchase was made possible…

After a tough loss on New Year’s Day in the Fiesta Bowl, it can become easy to forget the significance of Baylor football’s season.
Associated Press Good as it gets: Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos will face Richard Sherman’s Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl Manning’s Denver Broncos and Sherman’s Seattle Seahawks were the NFL’s best all season, so it’s fitting that they’ll meet in the Super Bowl. Nobody scored as many points or gained as many yards as the Broncos. Nobody allowed as few points or gave up as few yards as the Seahawks. And nobody won as many games as those clubs, either. What a way to finish the season. When the AFC champion Broncos (15-3) play the NFC champion Seahawks (15-3) on Feb.…
