11 dead after Chilean
earthquake
An 8.3-magnitude earthquake
that shook Chiles coast killed 11
and destroyed over 170 homes
Wednesday night. The quake triggered a 16-foot tsunami that left
severe damage in coastal cities such
as Coquimbo, La Serena and Illapel,
though officials say the destruction
could have been far worse.
Chile has a long history of being hit
by large earthquakes, Randy Baldwin,
a U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist
told CNN. This long history caused
country officials to increase efforts to
closely watch earthquake activity and
to rebuild structures to better withstand severe shakes, said Baldwin.
Tsunami warnings were issued
thousands of miles away from the
epicenter in Hawaii and California.
By Thursday the warnings in cities in
the U.S. were canceled, but warnings
elsewhere continued.

Texas teen arrested over
homemade clock
On Monday, Sept. 14, Ahmed Mohamed, an Irving Texas High School
freshman, was arrested after a teacher
mistook his homemade clock for a
bomb.
One of Mohameds teachers was
concerned after seeing the clock and
reported him to the school principal.
The police were called shortly after
and detained Mohamed until they
were able to confirm the homemade
device was not a bomb. However, even
after they confirmed the device was
only a clock, the police investigated
the situation further to determine
if Mohamed brought the device to
school to create alarm.
It was eventually confirmed that
he did not intend to cause alarm,
but rather brought it to impress his
teachers. Even so, Mohamed was
suspended from school for three days.
In the wake of the incident, Mohamed has received an overwhelming
amount of support. President Obama
even invited the young engineer to
visit the White House, and praised his
love and excitement for science.

COMMITTEE
BUSINESS
CHAIR ELECTED FOR
NEW COMMITTEE
ON SAFETY,
SUSTAINABILITY AND
WELLNESS
Sen. Michael Upton of the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology
and Natural Resources was elected
chair of the new committee on
safety, sustainability and wellness.
In a vote of 13-3, Upton trumped
College of Education Sen. Emilia
Carro. The two had previously
been co-authors of the resolution
that created the committee.
Upton won largely because of
his passion, according to senators
who spoke during deliberations.
Sen. Mikayla Ragnone, also of
CABNR, noted that Upton was
already at work on a number of
projects that would now fall under
the purview of the committee on
safety, sustainability and wellness.
Additionally, concerns arose
regarding Carros ability to helm
yet another leadership position in
the senate. Carro is currently the
speaker pro tempore for the senate
and heads up ASUNs legislative
internship program. Though Sen.
Brandon Boone of the College of
Business and Sen. Larissa Gloutak
of the Interdisciplinary Programs
dismissed these worries, it ultimately wasnt enough to win Carro
the chair.

SENATE RECAP

role on its website. Raggio has been called
an integral part of the NJCs move from the
University of Colorado, Boulder, to UNR,
which required additional funding on behalf
of Nevada in 1964.
Marybel Batjer is the secretary of the
California Government Operations Agency.
Formerly, she served as chief of staff for late
former Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn and as
past chair for the NJC Board of Trustees. She
says that the College provides a learning environment that judges can feel comfortable
in.
Many of the [judges] are elected, Batjer
said, and if they were struggling with the
law or they were struggling with some particularly difficult parts of the law, it was really
hard to admit to the district court judges. You
could come here, you could learn it, you
could admit you didnt know and you could
do things that as a student you couldnt do in
your home state.
Batjer points out that Raggios efforts were
essential in bringing that type of learning
environment to Nevada.
[The NJC] just provides, Batjer said.
Whether its distance learning or webinar
learning or in-residence learning, this is a
jewel, and we wouldnt exist without Bill Raggio. We wouldnt.

A hunters perspective: Its not about the kill, its the chase
an has been
hunting for the
past 30,000 to
50,000 years. Since
the beginning of man, hunting
has primarily been the most
common method to acquire
food. The idea of not hunting

to life on this
planet. Is it a
bad idea? Absolutely not,

A man with leather shoes
drives to the supermarket and
buys an organic grass-fed beef
steak. He has never hunted for
his own meat, nor has he ever
killed or harmed an animal.
This man believes that hunting
is an unethical act; however,
he is in no way, shape or form
against eating meat or utilizing
the goods that can only be
provided through the killing of
an animal. There is a distinct
difference between this man
and an individual with identical
beliefs, who does not eat meat
or use animal-based goods.
There are very few hunters
in this world who will say,
Everyone should go out and
kill an animal and eat it.
Hunting is sometimes regarded
as a vicious act. A hunter who
decides to spend countless
hours in order to kill an animal
and eat it is simply an individual who decides to control

Nevada entered Kyle
Field on Saturday as a
34-point underdog against
the 17th-ranked Aggies of
Texas A&M. To the surprise of
both A&M and Nevada fans, the
Wolf Pack lost by just 17 points (44-27)
and had a legitimate shot of winning the
game in the fourth quarter.
OPTIMIST
Helen Keller once said that optimism
is the faith that leads to achievement,
so lets be an optimist for a moment.
Nevada was thoroughly outplayed and
overmatched last week against Arizona,
but instead of hanging their heads and
packing it in, the players of the Wolf Pack
rebounded with a hard-fought effort
against another nationally-ranked opponent. Resilience is an important characteristic of a winning team, and coach
Brian Polian seems to have embraced his
teams underdog role.
I felt like we were in there with Floyd
Mayweather, and we didnt get knocked
out, said Polian. We took it 15 rounds
and kept swinging.
If it hadnt been for a few missed
opportunities, we may be discussing
a Nevada upset. Late in the first half,
Nevadas Matthew Lyons scooped up a
fumble and returned it for a touchdown,
but a defensive holding penalty negated
what would have been a 14-7 Wolf Pack
lead. Another missed opportunity came
late in the fourth quarter when Nevada
recovered a deep onside kick down just
14 points. The Wolf Pack was unable to
score following the onside kick, which
ultimately ended the game.
Nevadas offensive weapons were
able to have moderate success against
a highly respected SEC defense. Hasaan
Henderson performed particularly well,
catching five passes for 69 yards and a
one-handed circus touchdown that had
the Twittersphere buzzing. Nevadas
secondary running back James Butler
also had success, rushing 17 times for
107 yards.
PESSIMIST
Author Kahlil Gibran once wrote, The
pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious
to the rose. Nevadas thorns happened to
be all over the defensive secondary. Texas
A&Ms quarterback Kyle Allen threw for
270 yards and three touchdowns and

quarterback Anu
Solomon, who threw

Nevadas run defense wasnt much
better, allowing 233 rushing yards and
5.7 yards per carry to running back Tra
Carson and quarterback Kyle Allen. The
Wolf Packs front seven, which includes
defensive ends Ian Seau and Lenny
Jones, came into the season as the most
talented group on the team.
The Nevada offensive line was incapable of protecting Tyler Stewart from
the ferocious Aggies defensive line,
specifically defensive end Myles Garrett.
Nevada prepared for Myles Garretts
aggressive rushing style by having their
practice squad defense line up offside.
Garrett ended up with 3.5 sacks and 4
tackles for loss.

with the Oakland Raiders. His fantasy
outlook was pretty positive at the beginning of this year, as he was viewed
as a top-10 running
back in the league.
However, he has
failed to break out
so far, rushing for
just 44 yards on 11
carries during week
one. He started
heating up this past
Sunday with 65
Chris Dick
yards and a TD on
Blake
15 carries in a big
Dicks Picks
win for the Raiders
over the Ravens. I
look for Murray to have the game his
owners have been waiting for during
week three as the Raiders travel to
Cleveland to take on Johnny Football
and the Cleveland Browns subpar
run defense.
Prediction: 16 carries, 115 yards, 1 TD
PACK PREVIEW:
DUD
RB DeMarco Murray: While one
Murray is on the rise, another is on
the decline. DeMarco Murray was one
of the best fantasy running backs in
the league last year. However, a year
can change a lot in the fantasy world,
as he has failed to rush for double
digits in his first two games in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform. I look for his
struggles to continue against the Jets
tough front seven.
Prediction: 14 carries, 27 yards, 4
catches, 33 yards
GOT GUTS?
WR Travis Benjamin: There have
only been a handful of fantasy receivers better than Benjamin so far. The
Browns receiver has 204 receiving
yards and 4 total TDs (1 punt return
TD) in his first two games this year.
I am buying the hype as I believe
Johnny Football just has to throw it
deep, and Benjamin will run under it.
I wont be surprised if he has another
big game against a porous Raiders
secondary.
Prediction: 4 catches, 94 yards, 1 TD

PREDICTION
Nevada messes with the Bulls
but doesnt get the horns. The
Pack showed potential on offense
against an SEC defense, so going
up against a MAC opponent should
provide opportunities to break the
game open a bit. Butler and Jackson
should set the tone on the ground and
senior quarterback Tyler Stewart will
have the opportunity to make plays
through the air. Expect a back-and-forth
game from both teams and Nevada pulling out the win.
